That's a great build Bernard, one of these days I may be brave enough to try a patina style build, but I don't think so!! Dave B

Nice build William, Italeri do a reasonable model of the 250 SWB even without all your enhancements. Regards Dave B

For the last 10 or so years I have normally built 50/60's sports/racing cars but while waiting for some decals to arrive I decided to pull out an old pickup kit I have had for some time . I decided to take myself back some years and customize it. Cab is chopped scale 4" and channeled 5", bed is sectioned 3", shortened 8" and rear guards sectioned 5", the chassis is shortened 8". Springs have been reset for a lower stance. The hemi motor, grill, headlights, tail lights and bench seat are from my parts box. The pickup bed is the timber planking used by model ship builders. Sprayed in auto acrylic Triumph Powder Blue and clear coated. It is my homage to the Chuck Porter shop truck. Tks for looking Dave B

Nice build Phil, looks the part. Dave B

Great build William, can't have too many GT40's. Dave B

Just a quick update. Poured resin into old body and the result is attached, warts and all. Various cracks etc that were in the vacform are evident in the resin. I did undercoat it but made the fatal mistake of wiping the resin of with auto thinners then undercoating. Resin absorbed the thinners and made the undercoat sticky!! Have since wiped it down and will let it breathe for a week before undercoating again and starting the repairs, etc. Will keep you informed. Dave B

Great build Paul, the colour really suits it. Dave B

Great build Ray, that is something different!! Dave B

Ok Gary, I'm inspired!! Have prepped old body ready for resin, hope it turns out as well as your 'bondo' flip top. Dave B

Great build Rich, I have the Revell rerelease in my stash down stairs. PS still waiting for my Shadow decals. Dave B

Gary, that is great. I haven't been brave enough to tackle this car although I do have all the bits in a box downstairs including a very dilapidated slot car body. This post just might inspire me!! Dave B

Seem to have missed these builds earlier. Great build Tomasz. Dave B

That's a great build Jason, love the weathering. Dave B

Nice build Russell, looks real good. Dave B PS I believe Graham Hill was initially employed by Chapman as a gearbox mechanic.

That's a wild custom Roger, looks good. Dave B

That's a really nice build William. Dave B

That's a great build Gary, tks for posting it. Dave B

Hi Rex, it is the early version. I ordered from Indycals and they were mailed 27 March. I'm being patient as all mail is slow at the moment. I'll give Michael 8 weeks then email him. Dave

Hi Rich, ordered the decals 6 weeks ago but still waiting. All mail is being fumigated. Holding off till I get them so I can open vents. Dave B

Nice builds Rich. I always thought Gulf blue was Triumph Powder Blue? Seem to recall reading it somewhere. Dave B

Yes, I have one to turn into a salt laker one day! Dave B

Great build Scott. Gary, tks again for posting Scott's builds Dave B

Beautiful build Scott. Dave B

These have been built for ages, just thought I'd post them while working on my custom '50 F1. Don't generally build light commercials and the boat actually matches an early Thunderbird I built but thought it would look good with the F100. Both sprayed in auto acrylic with nail polish over the top then clear. The idea of the convertible came around because I botched the top chop!! Tks for looking. Dave B

Really nice Stuart. Dave B
