  1. Excellent!!!!!
  2. Nice!!!!!!!!
  3. Now that is a sweet one. Your subjects and workmanship is very nice. I have this 60 convertible in my collection to be restored. Mine is in primer now, and it is ready for paint. It cleaned up very easy. I am going to do it in a dark color, with a two-tone interior, factory stock, I guess.
  4. Hey Al, When did you get into my basement? Great minds think alike!!!! You know I love your car!!!
  5. That Suburban is a must have!! I like the looks of the Foose '56. I have been working over a stock '56 Big Window to make it look somewhat like a proper stock '56 Ford PU. If I get a Foose '56. I can display them side by side, as if the '56 stock F100 looks acceptable.
  6. Go get 'em Bill !!!!
  7. I like that Chocolate color. You're gonna make me bring one of mine out for a build.
  8. Very nice work Scott! I enjoyed the "On the workbench" post, as well as the finished car.
  9. Nice color and concept Robert.
  10. I like those "Shark" Corvettes, as I have most of the kits to build in my stash. That Blue is a very nice color on that car.
  11. That's a nice one Bill!!!
  12. The white car in the original post is alright, I guess, but this one is downright nice!!!!!
  13. Unfortunately, this kit is the only game in town when it comes to building a '73-4 Plymouth Road Runner. However, it can be made into a very nice model when it is kitbashed with the latest tool AMT '71 Charger. It took quite a bit of work to get it where I wanted it to go, but it worked out fine. I plan to do a couple more using the same techniques, as well as a '72, and a '71. I may do one up as a Satellite Sebring Plus, using Missing Link Resin's Flat Hood and Wheel Covers.
  14. Bob, I absolutely love this one. When these cars were new, you would not catch me dead in "The Flying Saucer", but now, I have the coupes and the wagon to build. Hemmings "Classic Car" Magazine had a beige one that looks very interesting. That Interior, and the wood Grain works very well for me.
  15. Very nice!!!!
  16. I like that!!!!
  17. I took the 2016 Camaro to our club meeting, and it was well received. Also, I brought along some of my earlier model Camaro builds to contrast and compare the new car against some of the classic Camaros I built in the past. 1969 Camaro SS350 Coupe- Converted from a Revell '69 Z28, with the hood, intake, carb and air cleaner from Replicas and Miniatures Co. of MD, MCW Rally Green Lacquer, MCG Photo-etch, Modelhaus COPO Dog Dishes on parts Box Steelies, and MPC Hockey Stick Decals. 1970 Camaro SS350 Coupe- Converted from an AMT '70 1/2 Z28, with the intake, carb and air cleaner from Replicas and Miniatures Co. of MD, MCW Cranberry Red Lacquer, MCG Photo-etch, Detail Master Aluminum Wheels with American 200S Centers mounted on Fujimi Pirelli P7 Tires. 1967 Revell Camaro SS396 RS Coupe- Converted from a Revell '67 Camaro SS, with a scratch built RS Grille, and Deluxe interior, Testors Artesian Turquoise Lacquer, MCG Photo-etch, Parts Box Cragar SS Wheels mounted on AMT Firestone Wide Oval Tires. 1970 Baldwin/Motion Camaro SS Coupe- Holley 780 carb and Lynx air cleaner from Replicas and Miniatures Co. of MD, MCW Daytona Yellow and Black Lacquer, MCG Photo-etch, and Fred Cady Baldwin Motion Decals used for the edge stripes. I have a '78 Camaro Sport Coupe under Construction, being built as a replica of a car I once owned. It will be White, with a Dark Red Interior, T-Tops, 350/Automatic, Aluminum Wheels. I am using a MPC '78 Camaro kit as the basis. Sorry no pics of that one yet. I have a lot of work to do to it yet, but it is pretty well along. As you can see. I like Camaros. I have more on the shelf to be built. And yes, I fixed the headlamps and front wheel alignment that was mentioned before by Snake 45.
  18. Bill, That one is looking great so far. I think that Iris Mist is one of the best colors for the '65 G/P. I have an original annual kit in my stash that I may decide to build, after I do a few other projects. I used Testors' Evening Orchid Lacquer on my '65 Corvair Corsa build. To me, the metalflake is too coarse, and I may re-do it, after looking at yours. I like the way your paint came out in the photos.
  19. Interesting. Years ago, I had a '78 Camaro, which I am making an attempt to build a model of. I am using the MPC '78 Z28 kit, where I cut out the T-tops. It's a little rough now, but I figure It will turn out fine.
  20. That sounds great Steve. I have a couple of '63 Convertibles to do... The one with the green promo seat in it is the product of two bodies spliced together at the door, as it was twisted, so I used the front section of an un-repairable glue-bomb to make a useable body. I have a little putty work to do to it, and I can get to work on it. I want to paint it white, with a Blue interior, just like the one I remember a friend of my father having. They took me with them to the dealership to pick it up in 1963 as a new car. The first time I saw an absolutely brand new car at the dealership. I even think I have an up-top that I can adapt to the car in my parts stash. I hope to do this with the other car. Those big Pontiac Bonnevilles from the '60 are among my favorite cars from that era, as I have a couple of hardtops to do too. I plan to re-do this '64 in Black, as I was never crazy about the silver paint on it. Your builds are awe inspiring, and they give me the inspiration to build more.
  21. Looks good in Grabber Blue.
  22. That is beautiful. I had one of All American Resin's '70 Chrysler 300, which I had intended to turn into a 300H, which was a great kit. I am amazed at how yours came out. The concept and execution are excellent!!!!
