The AMT '58 builds up nicely stock, too.

Very nice custom Camaro. Stellar paint, and nice, clean work. Very well done.

If you know what models they might be, and if you still have them, you could try posting a photo and someone may remember.

I’m glad you did dig it up. I’m beginning to gather materials to build a replica of a buddy’s ‘67 Firebird, which had an ivy gold interior. Very helpful thread.

Welcome to the forum, John. Pull one of those kits off the shelf and dig in. Don’t be afraid to totally screw up a couple. They make more. Pick one that you haven’t been planning and thinking about. Throw a little paint at it and build straight out of the box. Keep it simple. That should grease your model building mojo. Cheers

From fall through to spring I spend one to two sessions a week at the bench, each five to seven CDs long.

Cool old work-horse. Nice work on the weathering.

Great replica of Jim's Nova. You nailed it. Very nicely done.

Very cool, Phil. That's a lovely replica of a wicked cool dragster. Very nicely done.

Welcome to the forum, Joe. Great place here to get your model on. Cheers.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing this one back on the bench.

That's a great looking Camaro. Very clean and tidy. Excellent work.

Thanks for the heads-up. I never knew this set existed, actually. I dig those skinny cheaters, so I ordered up a set.

For a windshield, I would use masking tape to secure it to the body. I'm big on mock-ups. By the time I finish a model, much of it has been together and apart again dozens of times. It goes a long way to reducing the number of issues at final assembly, though I must say, it does not eliminate them. There is almost always something significant that goes together very well in a mock-up but, maddingly, still doesn't want to fit smoothly at final assembly. Sometimes I wonder if I would be better off not doing frequent mock-ups... at least there would be an excuse for things not fitting at final assembly.

Welcome to the forum, Yoshimi. That is a fine looking collection of stock cars you have built. Cheers.

Fantastic! Looking forward to this build. I have one in my stash, and have spent a lot of time lately planning its construction, and how to deal with the various idiosyncrasies of a four-engine model. Your is looking great. Very nice work so far.

If you do find a source for a decent set of Mark Martin mid-90s decals, be sure to post your find here. I've been looking for a set for the AMT kit also.

Welcome to the forum, Tim. There have been a few MFH 1/12 projects on the forum in the last while, so you should be in good company. Cheers.

That turned out great, John. I love 70s Asphalt short trackers, especially when they're not Camaros, and this build captures that look nicely. Well done.

Good looking Deuce. Love the flattie. Overall cool vibe. Nice work.

Very cool take on the Red Baron rod. I really like the helmet treatment, much nicer than the all chrome kit piece.

Very nice work on the Porsche. Despite the issues, the finish looks great, and I love the colour. Well done.

Nice looking Edsel.

Very cool little race cars. I especially like the Sunbeam, it seems so rarely rendered as a proper race car. The two look great together. Very nicely done.

Cool build. Good looking Mustang. I never knew of this part of Curtis Turner's racing career.
