Nice street machine.

Welcome to the forum.

I got the same treatment when I took my 2013 Avenger to a Dodge dealer for a warranty trans replacement. They replaced the trans for free and then told me my car was junk just because of its age. This was four years ago. IT WAS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD!

I like this.

Nice!

Beautiful Caddy!

That is just outstanding!

Beautiful but brutish custom truck.

Another nice one Rick.

I like it! Good proportions on this one.

That's the best rendition of this kit that I have ever seen. The side lanterns look really good and the engine swap is a big improvement. All the first gen AMT small block ford engines are undersized. Too them till the 90s to get it right.

Very nice! I wish they would bring back the Bonneville as I like the trim better than the GP.

Very nice! I would love to own something like that.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Simplicity is the reason I chose it to build.

So I got the "Patton" finished. These things are a fair bit bigger than a Sherman and are sorta ugly and toady looking. Tried to make this one kind of faded instead of factory fresh like I did the Shermans. All three were painted out of an old tin of Humbrol 155 OD and I ran out of paint before I finished so the mantlet and main gun are a slightly different shade of OD. Kept adding thinner to stretch the paint supply so that's where the faded look came from. Works for me. This one was a fun build except for the three piece lower hull that didn't fit very well and the too tight tracks that will probably pull the drive sprockets out of alignment eventually. I filled the lower hull seams with some Wite-Out as they aren't very noticeable anyway. Once again it is let down by the cheesy vinyl tracks but that's par for the course for a kit of this vintage. I also drilled out the gun barrel. Didn't want to plaster the Flower Child slogans all over it so just used the "Here come da judge" slogan on the front.

Well done.

Cool

Looks great!

That is outstanding! Been waiting to see this one finished.

I love this truck. You guys make a good team.

Those are beautiful models George. The Bonnie almost looks real and i love the color on both.

Looks very good.

They both look great. Always wanted to build one of those Chevelles.

Looks very good!
