Inspired by the Rod & Custom sketch below Tks for looking Dave

Beautiful build Sait Dave

Nice build Aaron, I bought one on sale a little while back, hope it comes out as nice Dave

Wicked, nice build Ron

Tks for the comments guys, the pics probably don't do it justice. I'll learn to use my camera properly one day. Just answering the couple of questions it is AMT's 1/25 version. Regards Dave B

I had this kit back in the earlier 60's when just a kid. Needless to say it's long gone. Never looked that good though!! Dave B

It's the 3rd time lucky for this old girl. Originally built stock it was then modified to a big tyred street going sports car. Got sick of it again about 20 years ago and pulled it apart and left the bits in the cupboard. Got inspired after I started casting the Goodyear Sports Car Special tyres & Minilite wheels. It now resides with my other 60's sports racers. Tks for looking Dave B P.S. Not sure why I left the windscreen wipers on!!!

Beautiful build but like Lownslow not mad on the silver it's a bit to metalflake for a period 250 Dave B

I enjoyed building a box stock 'custom' for a change & Revell/Monogram's '49 Merc is a great kit to build. Sprayed in an iridescent orange nail polish the paintwork did not come out quite as 'deep' as I would have liked. I should have experimented with the base colour!! Tks for looking Dave B

Tks for the comments guys. Paint process was auto undercoat, acrylic white with a light sand between finished coats then nail polish & Auto acrylic clear. Polished out after the clear. I don't spend much time sanding/polishing out. Regards Dave B

Ok guys, I have cheated a little here. I like the look of the SC so have retained the side pipes, bonnet scoop, gas cap & quick lifts. In fact all I have done is removed the 427 & installed a Shelbyized 289 from a GT350 and fitted wire wheels. Sprayed in blackberry nail polish. It fits in nicely with my other 427's & AMT 289's. Tks for looking Dave B

That's looking great, Looking forward to seeing it finished. I have this kit but intend to build it as one of the racing NART 275's. Regards Dave B

I built this old girl over 30 years ago but still like it. It was built back in the days when you used material on interiors!! Now the material is rather dusty and will not clean properly even though it is in a glass showcase, sorry. Did a lot of mods mostly utilising custom parts from the AMT '57 Chev kit. Opened the doors & boot, lowered & channeled it, rounded the bonnet, boot & doors and split the front seat so they lay forward individually. Sprayed in nail polish, probably one of my very first attempts. Thanks for looking Dave B

That is BEAUTIFUL. What a great job!!! Dave B

Interesting builds in 1/32. They would look really good if the Ninco Ref #80706 32 spoke wire wheel from the classis series slot car was used along with the tyre ref #80503. See http://www.pendleslotracing.co.uk/ under 'spares' 'Ninco' Regards Dave B

The look & stance is straight out of Rodders Journal. Nice Dave B

Hi Guys, Just another red, sort of, Ferrari. Was tempted to build it as one of the race cars but decided a nice boulevard cruiser might look good. By memory I think it may be sprayed in nail polish, built too long ago, sorry. Tks for looking Dave B

Thanks for the comments guys Sorry Joe, I have no idea, just mixed yellow/blue until I got a green I liked Dave B

Hi guys, Built this one a while back and thought some of you Porscheophiles might like to see it. Painted in auto acrylic, home mixed colour. Just liked the thought of one along the lines of a lime green. Thanks for looking Dave B

Nice job on that, I wish I had bought one when they were readily available Dave B

Nice build, paint & detail. I also love the Fujimi enthusiast series and have built the Porsche RSR, Lambo Countach & Ferrari Daytona Coupe & still have the Spyder to build. Dave B

Tks guys, like others I opted not to buy one when they were released/re-released. Given the opportunity I will next time as a 'new one' would give me the chance to improve a few things (i.e. It wouldn't have broken rims on the wheels for starters!!) Tks again Dave B

Very nice Merc Joe, I have an old AMT issue I intend to pie cut. Hope it turns out as well as yours Dave B

Back in the mid 60's I was lucky enough to see Scuderia Veloce's 250LM (chassis #6321) race at Longford, Tasmania. This is the 250LM now owned by Ralph Lauren (http://www.ralphlaurencarcollection.com/). When I was given an old Academy kit, in need of restoration, there was only one I wanted to build. Tks for looking Dave B

Hi guys, I rebuilt this old girl a couple of years back. It was a stock Entex kit, yellow with white hard top & stock wheels. Not a nice looking kit so it went into the cupboard. Since I have been casting the odd bits & pieces I decided to rebuilt as a historic racer Tks for looking Dave B
