Sixties Sam

Yes, Sean, I've seen planes made from coroplast posters. That's another good way to make cheap, simple planes to just have fun with, and not worry about ruining a high investment plane! Sam

Very nice custom Ford! Great color, and the top looks good! Good work! Sam

West Bend, I think.

Nice bike! The leather work on the seat is great, as are the taped exhaust pipes. Super job on this! Sam

I just built this little RC delta from two sheets of 3/16" thick foamboard from Dollar Tree ($1.00 per 20"x30" sheet) held together with hot glue. I patterned it after one I saw on flitetest.com. It has double thickness on the front 40% of the wing, forming a Kline-Fogelman stepped airfoil of sorts. It uses a motor, speed control, radio, and other stuff I had laying around. It weighs about 10 ounces, and spans 28". It uses elevon control, where the control surfaces on the trailing edge of the wing can move in opposite directions for ailerons, or together for elevators. It should be fast and fun, and my investment was all of $2.00!

That is the best build of that kit I've ever seen, Tulio! GREAT work! The finish is perfect. I like your philosophy of details. At some point it becomes too much work to be fun. Sam

Very cool '32! I like the half a hemi engine! Nice weathering too. Very creative! Sam

Lookin' good! I love the 62 Darts! Sam

Nice! Great color and chassis details. Good work! Sam

Wow! That is creative and so well done! Traditional, but different. Very nice work! Sam

Looks like something Gumby would drive!

Thanks, everyone for the compliments. I enjoyed this build! Sam

Very nice! The engine looks absolutely real! Great weathering, too! Nice work! Sam

It's a beauty! Very nice work! Sam

Welcome, Joe! I'm in PA too. Centre County, near PSU! You'll like it here! Sam

Very neat concept, and well done! Lots of character there! Great work! Sam

Very cool! I like that kit. I built two of them - one with fenders, and one without. I might have to do a third one as a roadster after seeing this! Sam

Great diorama! So many nice details. Wonderful work on this! I made a campground diorama a while back in 1/12 scale, but yours is more detailed. Here's a shot of mine.

Very nice model! I like the white and green colors, and the windshield change adds a lot! Great work! Sam

I don't know what it is, but I like how the exhaust pipes are set into the body. Sam

Very nice work on the chop! It does look like a tough job to do. Sam

Welcome from another guy that was out of the hobby and came back. I didn't build a model car for 30 years, then got back into it when I saw how much better today's kits are than the ones I built as a teenager in the 1960s! Sam

Just a beautiful model! What a great transformation! I'm glad you saved this old classic. Great work! Sam

To all who commented on the spare tire treatment: Making that cutout would have been a lot easier if the fenders were separate pieces, but on this kit the bed and fenders are molded in one piece. The trick was cutting the plastic out with my Dremel abrasive wheel without damaging the bed rail. I taped a thin piece of aluminum against the rail during the cutting, and it got several nicks, but saved the bed from damage! Sam

Oops! Forgot the mirrors.
