The first pic is a little blurry and i cant see whats goin on there, but the car looks good!

That has to be one of my favorite colors! My cousin and I built this kit back when we were younger and it was a metallic purple color and saphire blue.. it was also 75% glue by the time we were done... haha those were the days..

I seem to be a cause of these dead threads, im taking a vow to not be so opinionated from now on! lol

Ahh, that is a good idea. I'll see what I can do, i have a limited supply of tools right now and i dont think i can pull that off with an x-acto knife. Id ruin the model or cut my hand off...haha

No, I dont think Ill have any use for them.

Beautiful, just beautiful! Great work!

And now with some putty on it....

Well the other day I went uptown to our local little variety store to check out their little selection of models and ended up buying an VW Beetle convertable and Jacques Villeneuve's F1 car. Well once I got them home I got the idea to combine the two and set in. this is what I got so far.

I never said i hated anything about anything, oh man....wow. I dont know what to say, Im just proud of what the United States really stands for and I like the things that originated here but now the U.S is far from having individual rights cause now we are sending the stuff that was ours to other countries and were bringing in everything else from other countries, so why did we have anything of our own in the first place? I mean is it bad that I like muscle cars of tuners? I realize this is a new generation, but heck i am this generation and I dont have interest in tuners and their power, i like old american iron and Id rather keep that alive than let it fizzle away and go buy a honda or toyota and try to make it go fast. I dont hate them, i had a toyota camry a while back and it was a great car, had almost 200,000 miles on it and rarely gave me problems, but it just didnt take my interest like my monte or any of my dads camaros or anything else. so yea, I guess im part of a dying breed... lol

Well the big picture isnt really anything new, everything in this country originated from somewhere else because we're obviously not the first country, and i know that alot of the great things that we call "american" came from a foriegn source, even the cars i consider fast american cars, and no its not a 96, more like 60's era corvettes. Zora Arkus-Duntov made all the things that make the first corvettes great cars and he's russian, but its still an american car. all car makers take design and performace ideas from from foriegn sources. the chelby cobra is a good example. I mean i like some foreign cars and all, but i living in a country that has its own things, not just use everything from everyone else. that why i do think its ###### that these new cars are not made in america anymore, but just because toyota is built in kentucky doesnt make it american, it didnt originate here. given time the world will have a globalist economy and there will be no seperation and there really wont be domestic and import, it will all be the same. and that right there is what id hate to see

I dont care about these new cars, i know theyre all made in mexico and china and what not, im talkin about the real american cars, the ones assembled over in michigan, thats what i like. Also, my monte is a 5.0 liter and weighs a heck of a lot more than a civic, plus its an automatic and most the imports around here are manuals. and my monte is stock and since its an '87 it has low horse since manufacturers werent big on horse power then. so thanks for the info, but i knew all that already and i still stand by my belief. I guess I want this country to remain this country instead of China #2, but if it keeps goin where its going it will fall apart just like all the other supposedly great empires....

Hey thanks! I think Im gonna focus on this project for now cause the more I look at it the more awesome I think it is. Im usually in the dark when it comes to paint since all im used to seeing is what ever Wal Mart has in stock and thats just the generic colors.

Im just not a big fan of imports, to me the words fast and tuners dont mix. lol

I bought this kit the other day... it will be fused with a VW Beetle convertable.... yep...

Its the AMT Daisy Duke CJ5

Lookin' good!

That is nice, good work!

I love that website, those are some of the greatest models ive ever seen! customs are amazing

I love that green! Hmm, what exactly is that color? I wanna use it on one of my builds so what would be the closest thing to that color?

You're right, but this was more of a heated descussion than an arguement. In the end there were no hard feelings!

a Revell VW Beetle convertable... i dont know why i got it, but i did

This is probably the meanest looking pro mod i have ever seen!

Hey thanks! I wish I could finish it up, but it along with all my other projects are on hold till it warms up so i can paint!

NO GLUE?! ahh... i hate it when i completely run out of it cause its like $2 for a little tube at the store in town... but cant wait to see what you get done, ive been waiting on an update for the flip nose!

I like the one with him choking the girl but like ajulia said, leave her out of it
