Nice, classic street Vette. Beautiful finish and colour. Well done.

Very nice Shelby. I'd say you pretty much nailed the Grabber Orange. Nice detailing and clean construction throughout. Nicely done.

I have too. There are a number of 1/20 scale F1 kits that I would buy if they were 1/24, but I just have no interest in building 1/20. When I do see an F1 kit in 1/24, I snap it up. There are a few. As for the Gurney Indy Lotus, with a little care and patience it builds up nicely. I already have two of the MPC Indy Hall of Fame sets, so don't need any more Lotus 29s. Hopefully Indycals will produce more of their upgrade kits for this model.

Good looking Bug, Mario. Excellent weathering, and it looks great lit up. Love the photography. It sets the scene perfectly. I love it.

That's a good looking Audi. Despite the issues you found with the kit, you've built a fine looking model of it. Nice clean work. Well done.

The Vette looks good in black. Killer stance, too. Nice work.

Cool old Lincoln. The engine looks the business, and your interior work really makes this thing look great. A very classy cruiser. I like!

Good looking 'daily driver' Bug. Nicely done.

This project continues to impress. The Hornet is really looking the part. Nice work.

Cool subject, cool project. Just found this build. Very nice work here. I appreciate your diligence in getting the details right. Things are looking good.

Stellar work here, Charlie. Those Keystones are simply sublime. All of the fab work and machining is spot on. Very impressive.

Sad news indeed. I have a few of his books, and his words were a large part on my hot rodding education back in my teens & twenties. Always a trusted voice who has given every North American car nut so much. R.I.P Pat. Condolences to his friends and family.

Cool Cobra, Ray. I've never heard of this car before. Nice work on the conversion.

Very glad to see this one back on the bench. The engine is looking very nice. Such a complex assembly (in 1:12 and 1:1).

That's a tough looking Camaro. The shade of yellow is very bold and looks great on the Yenko. Well done.

That's a great looking Corvair, Joseph. It's a very handsome wagon indeed. I love the lines, and the tail end treatment is very nicely done. You did a great job bringing this one to life. I love it. Very well done.

That's a fine looking Ferrari, Michael. You've done some nice work here, and that engine is fantastic. As you mentioned, the 328 certainly didn't stray too far from the 308 recipe.

Cheers James. Very handy tip.

Welcome to the forum, Howard. You've come to the right place.

Beautiful Daytona. Nice work on the corrections and details. I smiled as I read your opening line because, Yes, I did wonder about that flat nose on the Gunze Daytona. It was the first thing I noticed when I opened my new kit in the early 90s. It didn't quite seem to match reference photos, and I wondered if it was patterned off of a damaged car. I didn't think much more about it until, one evening in the late 90s, I was watching the 1965 flick Redline 7000 and was amused to see one of the characters was driving a Daytona Coupe as his daily. Cool. But then, I watched in horror as the dude stuffed the Daytona in a ditch nose first. From that point on I had wondered if the Gunze car was patterned after the movie car. Not the case though, as I later learned the movie car was CSX2287, which has unique coachwork relative to the other five, and as you noted, the Gunze kit is patterned off CSX2299.

That's looking great! I am just amazed at this project. This is some seriously good model building. I'm digging the lighted display shelf, too. Nicely done.

Never heard of them before. I just checked out their stuff. They have a lot of great looking diorama items. Not cheap, but they seem high quality.

Woe, that's some crazy reaction. Sorry to hear that. As Ray said, the paint did look a little pink. What paint did you use?

I'm generally not a fan of 60s cars 'slammed on big hoops', but man, does it ever work well on this car. That looks really great. Cool vision, nice work.

Very cool concept. I like what you've done here, cranked up the performance but kept the vintage vibe. What I like most is the new roof. The overall profile with the modern roof grafted on totally changes the car, and is quite pleasing. Nicely done.
