  1. So, I went to my Buddy's house last night to give him some parts for his build and, as always, I left with more than I gave. He gave me a couple of started projects that I am excited to have. The pickup started life as the Ed Roth version. It has a bit of damage to repair. Later-
  2. I've been working on finishing up my custom MPC Vette. I've managed to paint it and get most of it assembled. I painted a base coat of Testors Metallic Black and misted on some Testors silver blue on the upper portion for a two tone fade. All I have left to do is make a grill. I have also started on a lowered 41 Plymouth. So far just some small custom touches and a coat of primer. Later-
  3. Great build and I love the color. My dad had a white 73 "Gold Duster" with a slant 6 in the mid 80's. My brother and I terrorized the roads in it for a couple of years. I liked that car. Later-
  4. Thank you! Later-
  5. Very nice build! Excellent work. Too bad we can't get a production kit of this car. Maybe someday. Later-
  6. I love the color of this build. Fantastic paintwork and nice work on the interior. I appreciate the extra detail of the headlights too. Later-
  7. Thanks guys! I appreciate the positive comments for my efforts. Up next is a 41 Plymouth and finishing a quick build of an MPC Vette. Later-
  8. That looks amazing! I like the painted wheel choice. Seeing this gives me some ideas for my 63 and 65 Imperial rebuilders. Later-
  9. Thank you. The window decals came from the 49 Mercury Woody kit. Later-
  10. Thanks. I knew a roof rack was needed. I would like to figure out something to strap to it. I appreciate the family truckster term. That's what I have been calling it to myself but hadn't posted it. Later-
  11. X2 Nice to see the different take on a Camaro. I enjoy the "theme kit" styles of contests because they often stretch ones imagination in order to come up with something that someone else isn't building. I once combined a 93 Mustang with a P51 Mustang for a contest because I was sure no one else would have thought of that idea for that contest. Later-
  12. That is a beautiful paintjob. Very fitting color for this build. I like everything about this. Later-
  13. I appreciate the fine comments guys! I'm glad you like it. Thank you. Later-
  14. I stand corrected. It is green. Hard to see in smaller photos on the phone. Beautiful color though. Later-
  15. Very nice color combo! I like the choice in wheels too. Good looking Camaro. Later-
  16. Thanks fellas! Another fun build and glad to add it to the display case. Later-
  17. Yes! Never seen this done in black. I like it. Great work! Later-
  18. Very nice work Craig! I also saw this build on HPI modelguys site and liked it. Perfect decals for the coke bottle styling. Later-
  19. Got this one finished up today. Installed a scratchbuilt roof rack. The idea behind this build is a family vehicle around 61-62 that has been well kept yet been well used for annual family vacations all across the US. The interior includes one resin ice chest and one scratchbuilt ice chest, a Thermos with cup of coffee and a homemade quilt folded in the back seat. Later-
  20. Nice job so far. Thanks for the info on the boat. Looks like a great conversion. Later-
  21. Not at all! I will be taking notes on the speedboat. I have a similar idea in progress using the 40 Ford Sedan and a modified Hemi Hydro boat. What boat are you using? Later-
  22. I can't wait to see what you do with this one. I have the kit and, on occassion, have given thought to starting it but haven't yet. Curious to see how it is. Later-
  23. I finally got around to unboxing the Tbird kit I bought and found that it is complete and unstarted- just a couple of pieces off of the trees. Again, I paid $10 with free shipping and it cost the seller $9.60 to ship! Great deal. Later-
