After Mobius fantastic series of Ford pickups, maybe they can do a modern tool of the '67-'72 Chevs, and GMCs, long and short, 4X4 etc, like the cool Ford series so many parts are interchangeable that we can build almost any combination!

Our hobby shop here in Winnipeg cannot get Model King, but does carry Mobius, so can I not expect them to get the shortbed style side kit? Or is it also a regular Mobius release?

I love that model, wow you've made it look so real, great!!!

I love scratch building and adding details, so someday I will enjoy building these, but it is disappointing that they didn't give us a better start right out of the box, but they will make very impressive models once properly finished. I'm not into the Dussie anymore though.

That's looking real good!

Okay, that's gorgeous! I'm sure I'm not the only one who want's to do that now! FANTASTIC!

I just love this one! All the mods are so tastefully done, it's a real show winner, awesome build!

Very realistic build, excellent!

That's very impressive, great details, and awesome build, love those hood hinges!

Oh wow, that's really cool! Love it!

It's perfect! Should have a picture of that one on the box! And Fireball's F-250 kit is amazing!

I love that front fender wheel location modification! Wish I'd have done that to mine! Also love the smoothed stock grille, and I think I WILL do that to mine! Since yours is a curbside, I hope you don't mind me showing what I did to my frame to get it lower:

Nice extra details on that engine! I used the kit sprue to make a distributor, just for fun:

Looking good! I only use Duplicolor or Tamiya spray cans, I've tried others but had problems, so stick with what works! I do have ONE suggestion for your beautiful Chevy, somehow make those rims fit deeper into the tires if you can, and you can! It's one of the things that always bothers me, wheels not seated properly into the tire, it's the kit manufacturer's fault, but as modellers, we can make it better.

That's a great looking convert! Love it.

Very nice collection! I saw a few of those on the strip back in the mid sixties, great memories!

Worse than glue, for this build I did not want the sliding window that was molded on, so I sanded it off with a somewhat coarse stick, worked down to medium, then fine, and finally with some Novus 2, it came out clear as ever! This same procedure will work with glue on the glass, but the BEST answer is use a glue that won't ruin the clear plastic, as stated by many, cheers, have fun, NO damage to a model can't be repaired with patience!

How about this cool old 'Burban:

Here's the part to be removed, some styrene added then re-installed to clear the driveshaft and the diff. I also "mini-tubbed" it, sliced the inner fenders, added styrene then re-installed them:

You don't see these on the street very often!

Here's the one I built, changed the wheels and tires, and put a mis-matched narrow military tire on the hood .

Opening up panels is nothing to be afraid to try, yeah thin panels break, no problem, keep going and make repairs like you already did as you go, it'll turn out awesome I'm sure!

Steve, it looks great in grey, as your models are always so nicely detailed, this is another winner! Love the rims and stance too, that's not factory stock, what's happening? LOL

It's simply stunning! You've done a wonderful build of that kit, and it shows beautifully! Be proud, congratulations.

Okay, well I don't have either of those, BUT I do have 1/16th Miura and 1/16th Boxer, both from Fujimi, so on THOSE kits that I do have, while looking quite excellent as far as body goes, the engine detail is disappointing. However, I love scratch building and adding extra details, which is far easier to do with mechanical bits, than body work, IMO. So if you're happy to add some extra detail to the parts that won't show closed up on display, or it you just want an accurate large scale piece, they're great! There's plenty of Google Images of any detail you can want, and somewhat replicating them in 1/16th is a lot easier than the smaller scales. I'd say go for it and have yourself a blast!
