  1. Very good build. I plan to get that kit soon for a similar stock build. Nice color on this one! Sam
  2. Excellent build! So clean and realistic! Great work! Sam
  3. Thanks for the compliments, everyone! BTW, this isn't the first time I've built a T roadster with a shortened frame and a Buick V6. Here's the one I built circa 1969. It sat for 34 years, falling apart. I rebuilt it in 2003, with headers I made from titanium wire, blued with a torch.
  4. Very nice build! The slanted tailgate is a cool feature - very unique! Good work! Sam
  5. I like this! It's cool how you removed the cowl and set the engine back. Should be really nice when it's finished! Sam
  6. Nice! I like the partial chrome rear bumper, and the mesh grille. Cool wheels, too! Sam
  7. Nice kit! Being a four-door, it would make a great police car. Sam
  8. I found this Revell 62 Valiant on eBay years ago and rebuilt it as a model of a real 62 I once owned. The Revell 62 Mopars were decent kits for their time.
  9. Hey guys. I saw this photo of a pink T bucket online and somehow was inspired by it to build something similar. I got the tall T double kit and built this roadster. It has a few modifications. I've seen so many T bucket rods that I thought were too long and too tall, so I took a scale foot out of the kit frame, and chopped the top and windshield 3/16". I dropped in a Buick V6, which fits the shorter frame nicely. I also shortened the turtledeck about 3/16" to complete the re-proportioning process. I am pleased with the results. Wheels are 40 Ford steelies with trim rings and parts box dog dishes. Paint is Krylon with Testors clear gloss pearl overcoat. The story is that a guy's wife wanted a hot rod in pink, so her hubby made this for her - what a guy! Comments welcome! This was my inspiration: Here's the model at my garage diorama. Of course, the lady in pink is the owner!
  10. Sweet Challenger! Sam
  11. Clean and green! Great build! Sam
  12. He's a very talented man.I think his longevity in Hollywood bears that out! Sam
  13. Nice Chevies! Great colors, and nice engine bay on the 61! Great work! Sam
  14. Wow! Karsten, if I didn't see you in the first photo, I would swear those were all real cobras, not models! Excellent work on all of them! Sam
  15. Very nice Mustang! Clean build - looks good in white. Those 1st generation fastbacks were my dream cars when I was a teenager. Good work! Sam
  16. Very nice restoration on a classic Imperial! Great color, and I like the wheels and tires. Tres bien! Sam
  17. Here's a trailer I built from styrene sheet and channel, and weathered a bit. It's on a diorama set in the 1950's, and represents a trailer someone built in maybe the 1930's for farm use. The diorama is of people moving in to the Grange Fair in my home town of Centre Hall, PA. The fair is a 141 year tradition. There are 1,000 of these 14'x14' tents on the grounds, and folks live in them for 10 days each year. It is believed to be the only remaining tent fair in the USA.
  18. Wow! This is an amazing build! Incredible detail work! Sam
  19. Wow! That is just about the best looking 36 Ford I've ever seen! Great work! Great stance and paint job. I like the wheels, too! Sam
  20. Very nice! It's good to see a Willys that's not a drag racer for once! Great work! Sam
  21. Very nice build! I like the old mini's. They always look good in green. Great idea on the 1/32 scale wheels! Here's one I built a while back Sam
  22. Great build! The paint job is killer! Nice engine and chassis work, too! Sam
  23. That's looking good! Those wagon kits were cool! Sam
