Looks good in that color! Those Snap-Tites make nice models with a little work! I built that 63 'Vette kit too. Sam

Beautiful build! Perfect colors. Great work! Sam

Cool classic hot rod! I like it! Sam

Great build! The chop looks great! Nice colors, too! Sam

Welcome to another Pennsylvania guy! I'm up in Centre County, not far from Penn State U. You'll like it here! Sam

Looks great in those colors. Well done! Sam

Great build! Nice color and wheels. Good work! Sam

Very nice build! The box of junk on the seat is a nice touch. Great work! Sam

Agreed 100%! Very good build! Sam

Great build! I always liked Corvairs. My first real car was a 65 Corvair convertible, bought in 1970. It had the 140 engine with the crummy 2-speed automatic tranny, but was so cool! Sam

Excellent work on this model! I'm glad to see old kits like this saved. Sam

Sharp eye, David! I picked those figures because of the period clothing, which looks like it could be from the teens to mid 1930's time. They are good figures!

Very nice! I like the "three holer" grille. Good work! Sam

OK, here's something different. I was asked to build a model of the PRR railroad station located in my home town of Centre Hall, PA to be exhibited at our fair, called the Grange Fair. I did it in 1/25 scale so I could use model cars and trucks on the diorama. It's big! The building is about 42" long. It's made with foamboard walls with basswood siding. Windows were built up from styrene angles and strips (took several days ). Roofing is plastic sheets made for G scale train layouts. The track, loco, and box car are G scale units. I found that "G scale" varies quite a bit. The loco is a bit small, but no one seemed to notice at the fair. Some of the vehicle models are survivors from the 1960's. The woody, Model T tub, and 32 Chevy panel were built by me back then. The diorama base is 3'x5' Styrofoam insulation. Track ballast and gravel is cat litter. Diorama time period is the mid-1930's. It was a fun project, but a lot of work over about 8 months. Next time I'll make something smaller! The old man in the photo is me. It shows the size of this beast!

I agree! Nice work! Sam

Nice! I like the weathering - not overdone. Great work! Sam

I agree! Very good work! Sam

Great find! A little cleanup and she's ready to display! Sam

Very well done! Great color, and the engine looks good! Sam

Very nice! Sam

Looks good! Making it a panel truck is neat! Sam

Very good, clean build! I like the white fenders. Well done! Sam

Great build! Good colors, and the bottom is black as it should be! Sam

Great work on this! The interior is killer - lots of work there, and on the paint job! Beautiful! Sam

Absolutely! Very nice! Sam
