It's looking like an unlimited build... I have some ideas brewing already. Oh, wait, my 2012 entry is still on the bench.

I like the Mirage version http://www.monzamirage.com/ I little info on them.

GT5 = Gran Turismo 5. It's a video game.

Such a neat little car. I wish they were available here, too. Who knows - probably wouldn't have predicted Fiat 500s running rampant five years ago! Great little model. I like the paint and it looks smooth and shiny. Nice work.

Cool old truck. Let's see...start with the front end from Hasegawa Bluebird, engine modified from a Fujimi Datsun 6... The L-16 is a classic engine,too...92 hp was pretty good for a little truck in 1971! My 1984 22R only put out 97.

Cool - you might still be able to get that decal to sit down with some micro sol if it isn't cleared over.

Wow! I watched the video - a lot of work on this model. It turned out great. I like the hardtop style (no pillar between the doors) too - always thought that was a cool feature on four door cars. Awesome work.

I can sit and look at that model for awhile, admiring the work so far. Beautiful as is, can't wait to see it progress. I like the custom work that is subtle but very different from the original - the '49 Cadillac bumper and grill look very cool here.

HERE for a great chart with basic conversion already done.

There are some 1:18ish "Poor man's Ferraris" too, friction toys... There are a few Fiats I would like to see in model form, the Dino would be a cool one.

Interesting idea. I am sure I could find an awful kit. If somebody can make this into something cool, I would vote for it: I get sick just looking at that kit.

All great. The Hudson convertible is simply gorgeous. Great photography too.

Great variety and great quality. Nice, clean building. I like the GTO - clean building and good photography make it look like a full size car.

Cool tutorial. I think it looks pretty cool - especially the driver's side. Thanks for taking the pictures and posting.

I like that color and it looks very smooth. Nice work.

Turned out great. Nice work. Too bad you can't show more of the interior work you did - the conversion turned out very clean and looked great.

Nice! Great work and cool project.

Great looking team! Nice years worth of modeling.

Nice mix of stuff! Cool models, all of them. I like the contrasting "shinies" mixed in with all that decay.

Thanks for the comments. The wheels are 1:16 Toyota 2000GT wheels cast from an old otaki kit - they will replace the spokes on the Fujimi 1:16 kit.

I like them all. That Simca is really cool, though. Four door gasser, excellent.

I like the overall theme - nice paint choice, engine is really cool, and the decals. I would like to see it in person to look at it from different angles - it's hard to see it all in perspective with the fenders on the front and no fenders on the rear. Original design on the front fenders makes it unusual and a nice deviation from the normal. Only thing I could see as improvement is maybe section the front grill area so it's not so tall. It could be perspective from the angle of the pictures too. I like the low roll bar - I can see the driver sitting low cruising by. Great job.

Beautiful paint! Nice ride height too. Great model.
