Jean, Got to meet you and see your work at the Ajax 31 show, this thing was amazing to see in person, Extremely detailed too. Nick

Just got home from DAM Christmas. Good turnout, some good plastic talk. Store was still open and I happened to lock eyes on this T/A, the General was a unexpected gift from a fellow Builder. Decals look great! Giggled at this one. Nick

Nope it was molded in Orange. That's why my truck being 4WD has a 350 Small Block. Nick

Thinking of just detailing it a bit for now. Maybe down the road it may shed the fo mo co paint. Nick

Stopped by Wally world to see about the kits, they didn't have them, so I took a quick walk down the diecast isle, they had this one on sale for $8.99. Thought it was kinda neat. Nick

Looks real amooth to me. Nick

That would be Me Eelco, started with the same kit, used some stuff from the old Revell HotRod issue '75 Chevy and a lot of scratchbuilt/parts box stuff. Need to get around to finishing mine. Nick

when it comes to Buying kits, I always check my LHS First, would go there and get it and maybe spend a bit more, You can't have a nice chat about the hobby face to face with someone buying online, can you, Nick

It's a Reissue of an old Snap-tite. Nick

Nick

Did a little more tinkering.

Was Expecting the Cartwrights to come ridding through, love the last photo, looks Very real. Nick

From what I understand it wasn't a 500 either it was a Regular Charger with a Vega rear window welded in............ Nick As for the MPC Daytona, been there, done that, threw that out.

Actually it's finished. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=51128&pid=575211&st=20&#entry575211 Nick

Thanks guys, debated doing MelbaToast but deceided to do the Faster SS396 car instead. Nick

Mark, been there Done that, feel your pain . Nick

Thanks Guys, when I start a build I try to use atleast one new technique on it. Nick

I can now Reprise my opening statement 22 started, 12 of those finished, Finished break down 1 1/700 Ship 6 Cars (3 Street Machines, 2 Police cars, and 1 Project car) 4 Trucks (2 light Commercial 2 street trucks) 1 Horse Trailer Finished another, with any luck I might finish 2 more that have been on the bench a while now. Nick

Thank Guys, Mike, yes the real cars had a semi gloss finish, Rob, I had no idea how to go about doing the rear bumper and knew that if I attempted to modify this one, It would end up as a stalled build, as I said multiple times, "It's not perfect, but I'm proud of it's result" Eelco, I will Do a quick how to on my next project how I did the flocking. Nick

Scratchbuilt the Tach and combined two shifters, with a scratchbuilt handle for the shifter. Nick

It's not perfect, it's not pretty but I'm happy with it. It's a Curbside, not by my choosing, I happened to get this kit in a trade, missing all of the engine parts. It was mostly built to try new techniques (the way I did the flocking), and new products (Window maker glue, there was a larger chip out of one corner of the windshield) I'm happy with it, that's all I need. Comments, welcome, the good, bad and ugly. Nick

That's a good question, my friend who is a rail roader gave me two tiny bottles without labels and told me to mix them together then our it where I wanted the water. thinking it was some type of epoxy resin. Nick

Last of the WIP pictures. Nick

Chris, I'm not sure, when my grandfather gets back from florida or I'm talking to him, I'll ask him. Nick
