  1. Very nice build! Great finish and foil work! Looks good in red! Sam
  2. Very nice! I like the sleeper approach. Sam
  3. Looking good! Nice work on the pipes. The bending jig is a clever idea. Sam
  4. Wild! I like it! Sam
  5. I used real mud on this muddy Jeep a few years ago. I took a clump of dirt from the garden and mixed it with water till it was about as thick as house paint, then flung it on the jeep with a 4" brush from about a foot away. I thinned some of the mud down with more water, then brushed it on the wheels and tires. I sprayed flat clear on it when it all dried. The chalk method sounds good, too. I've used it to weather model train cars. Sam
  6. Oops! I never noticed them! I just foiled them now. Thanks for catching that blunder, Lee! Sam
  7. Nice! The interior and engine details are excellent! Good paint, too! I can't say I'm a fan of the jacked up rear end, but it's still a great build! Sam
  8. Needs work? It needs a miracle! Seriously, that's great work you did making it look that bad! The taillight wires and the one plug wire off the plug are nice touches. Great job! Sam
  9. Welcome to another PA guy! I'm in Centre County, near State College and Penn State, where 409 doesn't refer to a Chevy engine! Sam
  10. Rubber tubing and a bicycle hand grip - genius! Very cool model. The paint is amazing! Sam
  11. Hey, guys, here's my first build of 2015 - a Revell Snap-Tite 57 Chevy. It was on sale at Michael's, so I bought it. It's an OOB build, painted with Testors gloss black with a tan and orange interior. Foiling took longer than painting and building! The seat cushion stickers were black, but I wanted orange, so I sprayed them orange, then applied them. It worked! It's not my best build, but it was quick and fun! I plan to use it on my car show diorama, since just about every car show has a 57 Chevy in it! The photos could be better, too. Comments welcome!
  12. Great work, as always, Ed! The model T 5th wheel camper is cool! Nice work! Sam
  13. The refs handle the ball between all the plays. Wouldn't they notice if they were underinflated? And what was the temperature that day? Cold weather will reduce pressure.
  14. Very nice diorama! Good detail work! Sam
  15. Looking good! The green sounds good for the finish. Should be a great model! Sam
  16. Nice!! Great paint job! My first car was a 65 Corvair convert, and my wife had a 65 coupe. They were nice, except for the heater/defroster that blew smoke into the interior, and of course, the oil leaks! Sam
  17. Yet another incredible build from Harry! Great work! I like how you clean up the small details like thinner glass, better gauges, etc. Those little things add up to a big improvement. Nice work! Sam
  18. Excellent build! Great finish and foil! Good work! Sam
  19. Nice! Another great old Mopar! Good work! Sam
  20. I agree with Harry. I like the college OT rules better. One team scores, then the other one gets a chance to score.
  21. Superb! Great color, and so clean! Nice work! Sam
  22. Very nice, clean build! Great finish, and I like the wheels. Sam
  23. Very nice Dart! Looks great in red. That's one of my favorite cars. So ugly, it's beautiful! Sam
  24. Clean and green! Very good build! Sam
  25. Wow! That's a beauty! Great finish, good color choice. Nice work! Sam
