  1. I know I should have been more careful. By the time I got to foiling it I was pretty fed up with all the problems I was having & didn't take my time to do it right..
  2. Every once in a while you can get a model where nothing goes right. This was one of those. I had to repaint it twice. Dropping it the first time right after I painted it & then putting a big thumb print on it. Then my elbow hit the chassis knocking it off the table breaking two tires off, part of the front suspension & the rear end. Here it is finally pieced back together.together. I painted it Mythical maroon.
  3. Just finished a great trade with Rob Mattis {Jantix}.
  4. I'd love to see a model of a 1955 Olds. 98 Starfire convertible with a continental kit. My Mom had one of these back in the late 50's. I was only 6 when she got it but I remember that day like it was only last week. It was a beauty.
  5. All my goodies from Hobbylinc & Modelhaus are still on Santas sleigh so I'll have a late Christmas.
  6. I'll have mine out tomorrow.
  7. Here's one from 1970
  8. This is my next project. I've got plenty of black spray paint & this car's got plenty of black to paint it with.
  9. A pretty easy one to build. The only problem I had was busting the steering column off. I drilled a hole in the column & dash & bridged It with a cut down straight pin. I painted It Tamiya bright red & Short cuts white.
  10. My Brother got me this for my upcoming birthday
  11. I've always been a fan. I saw them live in 1970 & 72. Never got to eat with them but I did get all their autographs at the 1970 show.
  12. The decals are on & the interior is done.
  13. I'm so sorry. It's so hard losing them. We had to have our 20 yr. old cat, Barney, put down on Wed. We had him from the time he was 6 wks. old & it leaves a big emptiness in the house.
  14. Completed a trade with vintagedragcrazy ( Vince Nelson ) & will trade with him anytime.
  15. I got Revell's GMC pickup with snow plow in a trade with vintagedragcrazy ( Vince Nelson )
  16. The body's all painted & ready for the Decals & chrome foil.
  17. No pics but I saw a gorgeous '56 Mercury at a Hardees.
  18. Here's the rest.
  19. Here's an update. The engine is done except for the decals. The chassis still needs the rear end. The interiors coming out pretty good. The body is primered white & I've used Short Cuts white for the back end. The hood & fender skirts are Tamiya's bright red.
  20. This is one I've wanted to build for quite a while now. I'm keeping It stock & like the picture on the box.
  21. I got this as a trade with amxmustang.
  22. I also completed a trade with afxmustang. Everything went great. I'll be happy to trade with him anytime.
  23. Here's a gorgeous '51 Victoria I saw at a car lot. No price on It.
  24. The Hotel I work at had a King Midget meet.
