Brandon-
Looks good. What is the story behind the 412 on the roof? What modifications did you make? Was it a difficult or easy build? We need a little more info on this seldom seen built kit.
Keep it up and let us see more builds.

That is a beautiful job. I like the idea of the wood. What is the lighter color used on the plastic "wood"?
I'll be watching this one.

I like this one. It is a nice combination of parts and a great way to use them up. Nice weathering too. Keep it up. I want to see this one when it is finished.

That is a beautiful build. One to be very proud of. Like it has been said, nice wheel choice.

That's a nice little hearse. Great paint work. I am also getting in to customizing Hot Wheels along with my model building. It's a good change of pace. Let us see more.

Juergen-
Great stance on the truck.
I sent you a message about your wheels.

That is looking great. I have this kit and every time I see it built I want to work on mine. That paint is beautiful. What did you use as floor mats?
Keep it up and let us see the photos.

Your work is looking good on this thing. I've got a question. What is this New Generation Thunderbird Snap kit that you used the taller tires from? Do you have a kit # or a picture? The big and littles look good.
Keep it up.

I'm happy just to finally see a kit of the early 70's Olds Supreme (not to mention the Hurst option). They were nice looking cars IMHO.
I'll hopefully be getting a couple, although I have definitely slowed down on my buying new kits.
Thanks for the info and the look at the kit. When are they scheduled to come out?

That Taxi is looking good. Keep it up.
I'm sending you a PM.

Juergen-
That is going to be a beautiful build. I like the work you did on those wheels. Any chance you could do a set for me????? I love them.
I'll keep an eye on this one.

Wow! All of those builds are looking good. Can't wait to see more.

That is a nice clean build of a good looking car. I loved these when they were new and wanted one. I almost bought a 92 Super coupe. What stopped me? I realized, while cruizing 120mph home from the dealership to show my wife, that I would get into too much trouble.

That looks like quite the stretch. Did you have to manipulate the front of the back half at all or did it mate up exactly?
I'll be watching this one.
BTW, that tow truck looks good. What kit are the tires and wheels from?

Hey guys-
Thanks again for all of the kind words and taking the time to look.
Dimaxion-
I'll have to eventually figure something out to fix the SG spot. Quite possibly I'll just try to lightly sand it and tape off a small area around it, leaving the edge of the tape raised to keep from getting a raised paint or clearcoat edge. We'll see what happens.

That VW Cruiser isn't a far stretch. Remember the old VW Squarebacks (I think they were called)? My old neighbor had two of them.

That is a beautiful build, as everyone has mentioned. Those can't be easy builds. I have the Beatnik Bandit, and you're right, that frame is a bear to deal with.
You've done a fantastic job.

I understand, and agree.
So, what's next?

Those POOR girls. How do they keep smilin' with wedgies like those?????

Looks like a nice place to create. That's something I need to do is clean and organize my area. I've been working on it off and on for the last year. It was an old greenhouse off of the back of my garage that the previous owners walled in with metal siding. It had no heat or insulation for the first year that I was in it. About 120 degrees in the summer and freezing in the winter. It was hot enough the first summer to warp 3 of my builds that were in display cases. I have since insulated and sheeted almost all of it and I still need to wire in a heater. Right now I have an electric portable heater. I also am in the process of installing a window for more light and ventilation. The good thing is that, so far I have about $15 into the renovation. I've been collecting things off of jobs.
Most importantly, I need to clean and organize. But that is no fun compared to building.

Thanks again guys.

That color would look perfect on the 79 Berlinetta. I actually went to school with a kid who had a late 70's Berlinetta in a dark met. brown color that was very similar to it. Thanks. I hadn't thought of that car in years.
He drove it like he stole it. On second thought, he just may have.....Later-

When I saw the interior shots on Pg 5 with the junk and magazines, my first thought was "Nice Long Boards".
Get it?...... I know....I know.....That was dumb! Anywho, great job on the build and I can't wait to see it with the real Longboards in place. You do nice work and I am going to try this method of weathering, sooner or later.

Thanks again for all of the kind words. I am really happy with the work on the interior.
Bruce- I'll bring it by for a closer inspection the next time I'm in town.
It's now on to the next project, finishing up my 70 1/2 Camaro convertible.
Look for it in the Workbench section.

Thanks Randy.
I really did enjoy this kit until the last night.

That's going to be nice. What a subject to do a build of. I can't wait to see it finished. Is the 1:1 in private hands or what?
