    Excellent colour, and those hood hinges are beautifully done. ??

    These are great kits and your pair of model A’s look amazing. ?? I’ve built the 29 (l have the 30 in the stash) and it was probably the most enjoyable kit I’ve made.

    Got the interior painted and finished. I scratch built a floor shift, curved for a bench seat.l also added a custom steering wheel from the parts box. Colours are a combination of Tamiya ts-3 and as-22.

    Thanks Carl, colours a little darker than I expected but I’m really happy with it.

    G’day Topher, the suicide doors and forward opening hood on Pearly Gates are an interesting touch. ??

    Thanks Brian, I’m a big fan of US pickups of this era.??

    I’ve reworked the kit rear suspension to get it as low as possible without slicing into the chassis Drilled into the front spindles and put some styrene rod into them to get it down at the front.This is the resulting stance. Should be good.

    Some builds go together beautifully……and some you just feel like doing “Hulk smash” on. Perseverance and determination paid off in this instance as your GTO looks awesome. Nice tidy vinyl roof as well. ( I’m working up the courage to try one on a build). Thanks for sharing this one .??

    G’day Michelle, you’ve captured the look well on this one, the “ sail panels” on the rear roof pillars and the tail lights in particular are unmistakably Valiant Charger. It was the last model sadly, but for me at least, the best looking. ??Good stuff.

    Very tidy build. The B5 blue always looks good and those Mopar rally wheels are nicely detailed. ??

    Beautiful looking 55. Inside, outside and in the engine bay. ??

    Well done Michelle. The VH Valiant hardtop is a rare beast indeed, but such a great looking car. The secret with Vegemite? Spread it thinly. ? Keep the Aussie cars coming, always enjoy seeing your interpretation of the cars l grew up with.??

    Weather was nice today, got some paint on. Happy with the colour, should look nice cleared and polished up. Time for a mock up.

    I really like the old school feel to this one, nice maroon paint, detailed flathead and wire wheels. This build makes me want to get a copy of this kit for myself when they arrive in Australia. Thanks for sharing this one. ??

    Cheers Greg, thanks for that. Will do a test fit before committing to glue. ??

    Great looking Vette. Colour suits nicely.

    Poor little Nova’s had a hard life. You’ve replicated the neglect and abuse that cars like this are subjected to beautifully. ??
  18. STU111
    Well done Michelle. The 6 cylinder is on point too, as the base model HG GTS Monaro had a 186 cube six. ??

    G’day David. Triple black is the holy grail of colour combos in classic muscle cars, and if there is a 69 Pontiac GTO out there in this combination, it would look awesome, because your excellent build certainly does. ?? Well done and thanks for sharing this one.
  20. STU111
    Nice work! Turning it from a curb side kit into one with full engine detail certainly makes it look awesome. ??
  21. STU111
    Nice work. Yours is certainly proof that snap kits can be built into a good looking model.??
  22. STU111
    You certainly did it justice. Looks great, I like the colour choice as well.??
  23. STU111
    Awesome! I always look forward to your builds here with the signature LED lights. The headlight doors on this one would have put an extra layer of complexity to it I’m sure. I can see why your family won’t let you build one without the lights now. ??
  24. STU111
    I’m loving this one! I admire the creativity and effort in the scratch built extra detail and how the butternut yellow paint and saddle interior trim look together . ??

    Pretty happy with the way the wheel tubs turned out. I plan to spray the body when the weather conditions allow.
