  1. Excellent job. It's always tough to replicate a specific car and you nailed it. Congrats.
  2. Wow! I'm blown away by all of them, especially the Hudson.
  3. Great diorama. Love the Burger King car too. Good year for you.
  4. Great set of cars. Excellent work on them all.
  5. Thanks Bill! I'll have to investigate the Modelhaus body. Those pics are cool aren't they? I fell for it at first sight.
  6. Looks very nice Scott. Love the extra detailing on the dash boxes, good job on the decals.
  7. I'm going to miss Dodge this year. Nice save.
  8. Another vote for the Hudson pickup! They are all very cool. I'm also digging the Caddycamino and the Cougar.
  9. I've got the (in)famous AMT kit on the bench. I've read and seen all the rants about the side trim but I'm more interested in the roofline. I'm hoping to replicate this model, a downscale trim option from the Fury. I figure I can grind/sand the side spear to this configuration without too much trouble and maybe the curve won't be as noticeable. What would anyone suggest for the roof? I can add a B pillar but I'm afraid the rear side window will be too obviously wrong. I thought about cutting the C pillar and raising the rear of the roof, tough to keep the trim intact. Any ideas?
  10. Very cool. Love the 'hood' vents and tailpipe trumpet.
  11. Great set of builds! I love your Hudson and the Indycar. Those trucks are cool too.

  13. The kits are quite simple really, Snap-Fast. A little extra time spent cleaning mold lines and making sure pegs fit in holes are all that's really needed. I spent a lot of time on the nose with sheet plastic and putty reconfiguring to the 2011 spec, out of the box they represent a 2010 car with the exposed splitter. You also get the choice of a spoiler or that dreadful wing. Thanks for the kind words.
  14. Garlits was 'the man'. Great start, looking forward to more.
  15. Sinister. Great job.
  16. Awesome model! You did an excellent job, looks like the real thing. But will it ever be able to out-run a Roadrunner?
  17. Finished it last night. Powerslide decals (which are great BTW), AMT COT kit. Did some modifying of the nose to 2011 specs, otherwise straight OOB. I had fun masking the red/black portions but it didn't come out too bad. Tony's my guy despite his lackluster year in 2012. Thanks for looking!
  18. Great collection. You did an outstanding job on them all. Cole and Rowdy would be proud!
  19. Great model! I love seeing these 'daily drivers' in scale. Please keep them coming Emmanuel.
  20. You could duplicate this in scale with a Cadillac promo and a staple gun! Just a thought
  21. I can see Cranky salivating over that Cadillac hearse thingie. The Volvo is just ridiculous. Looking over them all again I guess that's the point?
  22. It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
  23. Some great work being displayed here! These are mine from 2012 so far, a couple more really close: 1951 Chevy Fleetline 1969 Corvair 1957 Ford Custom 1953 Hudson 1970 1/2 Camaro Chaparral 2D Laguna S3 I guess I had a pretty good year!
