Phildaupho

I am surprised how many models you built in 2023 because they are all not surprisingly so well done. I recently enjoyed your interview on Model Car Muse. Have a great year.

That girl is bad !! Looking forward to seeing all your Pontiacs side by side

You mentioned Merkur. I built a Ford V-8 powered Merkur at least 20 years ago. Because Merkur is Mercury in German, and I always associated Mercurys with customs, I decided to build a custom Merk. I combined the roof section from a stock Tamiya Sierra with the lower body from a racing Sierra to get the distinctive Merkur side windows with a more custom body. To this I added a 5.0 Ford V-8 from a 1/24 Monogram 55 Ford Pickup Street Machine kit. [Apparently, there were V-8 Sierras in South Africa]. I painted it purple because the first custom Merc I ever saw was purple. At the time of the build 3-spoke wheels were popular with the tuner crowd which I considered the customs of the day. Coincidentally I came across this thread when I searched Miata and saw your stalled project. I am almost finished building a Ford V-8 powered Miata which I will display here when done.

All very interesting. All very well done.

Very pleasant to see your fabulous collection of classics..

I predict you will have a completion in 2024 !!??

Nice crop !!

WOW 31 builds. That has to be a record !!??

You build fabulous Pontiacs

Very impressive production of model cars. Many sure look good in the outdoor settings. I was going to say you are a Buick guy but see you like a wide variety of brands.

Fantastic collection of builds. Very well done.

Thanks guys. I wonder if I will ever build the Accurate Miniatures McLaren ??!!

Very nice collection of builds in 2023. Congratulations

Eight nice ones !!

Fabulous vintage builds.

Excellent Mustang builds

Good looking collection of 2023 builds

Must be nice to have your GTO back at least in scale

Good looking trio

Very nice collection of 2023 builds. Looking forward to more of your Canadian versions.

Like this one too!!

Nice Build. Great photos. The 65 Canadian Parisienne is one of my all time favorites. The mechanic at a local gas station had one with the most powerful Canadian Chevy based engine with a 4-speed. This car did very well at a stop light drag against a local Thunderbolt. The sights and sounds of that match up are etched in my brain.

Not a great photo but I was so surprised to see it around the corner from my place that I was slow to get my phone out.

Great project Art. I have always enjoyed building models of peoples' favorite cars to give to them.

Very interesting and varied collection of projects
