I'm also a scrounger of stuff for model building. Pop can aluminum, cat food can aluminum, and disposable turkey roaster pan aluminum make great scratchbuilding materials. Every piece of electronic equipment that is disposed of is first disassembled to harvest the model parts & supplies hiding within. Old o-rings have possibilities. Cigarette package foil (from the days when I smoked). Any piece of plastic or metal with interesting shape or texture is scrounged away. I used to save any automotive light bulbs for the filament, but I just buy cheap ones now as unused filaments are more robust. So many things. Been doing it since I was a kid. It fun making use of some random bit of scrap for a model project.

I love it. Nice work. One of the sexiest rails on the scene.

Nice replica. There's a lot of work to build it from the kit. Nice work on the decals. What kit is the tunnel ram intake from?

Good looking Camaro. Nice paint work.

Could the Revell '77 Chevelle be converted? edit: Reading Marks answer below, I realise Revell didn't do a '77 Chevelle, it was a Monte, so scratch that.

Good looking Caddy. The roof swap looks natural. Nice lines. Cool!

Looking good. Nice foil work on the scripts.

The awesomeness continues. Love the colours, and that alternator is too cool!

Sexy pipes. I like the second set better.

I like this idea, too. The end of the brush could probably be trimmed a couple times if it gets gnarled up with glue. If the brush gets totally pooched, one could snip it off and attach a shortened micro brush (in Pete's post above) to the remaining stem with a cable tie or similar.

It continues to amaze me when kits show up that I never knew existed.

Very cool build. The red paint has a beautiful, rich colour. Looking great.

Interesting project. It's coming along nicely. That's a lot of plastic to wrestle with.

Thanks for posting. Such an icon. Been wanting to build a model of this since I was a kid.

It's not a great kit, but I have a feeling your build will be one of the nicest done from it.

I use a pipette with a small tip to apply kicker. Helps to put the stuff where you need it, and provides some degree of control over where it goes.

Three beautiful Jags. What a gorgeous collection of sporting machinery. Love the colour choices on all three, and all are cleanly built. Very nice, thanks for posting. I have the XK120 on the bench as a stalled project that I really need to get back to. I see the bonnet on yours fits as well as mine. Nothing I did made it fit satisfactorily, so I glued it shut. Otherwise a surprisingly good kit. I’ll mount that nicely done Jag six on a stand. The XKEs are at the top of my ‘want’ list.

Very nice!

That’s some good looking weathering.

Well done. Looks good.

I love the long, lean look of these Pontiacs. I really like the paint. A very interesting colour. Cool build. Nicely done.

That is coming along beautifully. The engine is gorgeous. Nice weathering. Everything is looking great.

It's coming along nicely. That engine/trans assembly is looking good.

Wow, very cool! I always thought the Corvair Monza showcar was particularly interesting. Nice clean work on this one. I don't recall ever seeing one of these built before. Is this a plastic kit?

My thoughts exactly.
