Outstanding. Fantastic model.

Two great looking models. The GT is one of my favorite designs - and yours is a great replica. I like the color with the dark wheels too. Zs are great little cars - but those stock wheel covers they used are plain ugly. Fantastic model though. Great work.

Hyundai. They gave us money back, though. Estimated 40 - testing put them at 38 or so.

Very cool addition Aaron. I've seen a few Jeeps in service down south - BLM and USFWS. I see it's an agency owned rig too - GSA rigs are a pain... Oh, and the BLM...that would be "sagebrush cops"....

Awesome. Great, clean construction and beautiful paint. Love those old Celicas.

Very cool. I like the era of police cars when they were pretty simple. Bolt on a light bar, put in a radio, and go get some bad guys...

Chuck - your words to often fall on deaf ears. Threads like this - which could be a conversation and nothing more - always tend to fall into the same old trap. Sometimes it's better to know thyself than be thyself...

Chassis is 97.6% done... Interior is still in progress - I have two racing seats in the works. Small scratch built parts going into the engine - here is the air intake: Body and hood are in the paint shop!

Last year an $800,000 (insured price) AC Cobra burned in a tunnel in Zion National Park - I have some pictures somewhere...

How 'bout them Finns? Ouch.

Nice! Great looking model.

Cool. Weathering is fun and relaxing - make a mistake? Ah, just cover it up! Cool headliner - you can try a glue soaked tissue too - the tissue can be torn and sagging and looks like scale fabric.

It's odd that sometimes the kit makers do put forth extra effort - and them turn around and skimp on the next product... If the promodeler Corvettes could include so many correct details, why can't the kits made after that (and like 15 years later!) be equal to or better? As stated many times...it's the money. Those model builders concerned with the correct shape of the carburetor bowls are not the main stay of the business in the US...I think Revell's biggest selling kits are snap togethers? Thought I read that... It will be interesting to see if Moebius can continue in the market too - I hope they can, but they are trying a different approach, so...

You should be able to seal it with Future as well.

Great looking model. Nice work.

YouTube videos and you can see other examples. One pits a '62 Cadillac against a newer one - straight on head on collision. You can see in all of them how the passenger compartment in older cars fail in accidents. Then google smart car cement wall and watch a video of a smart car smashing directly into a concrete barrier at 70 - you would die (due to you body's inability to withstand 70 - 0 in a tenth of a second) but the passenger compartment is amazingly intact.

Don't let one kit fool you. This VW is a vintage mold of a motorized toy. Many Aoshima kits are superb... But I am not aware of any Aoshima kits in 1/8 scale.

Because to a bulk of the model buying public, it doesn't matter. The niche group that wants to build a replica of a non-hemi car is so small compared to the overall market that kit makers (basically, Revell, in this instance) don't think it's necessary to make those additional pieces...

Looking at the '68 and '69, they appear identical.

Yes - AMT '69 Cougar uses the same chassis and is easy to find.

Both versions are beautiful. Great work.

Sometimes I wake up and feel like I'm only 36. Most days, I feel 42, mainly, because I'm 42. I have had back problems for about 15 years, but have a fairly arduous job, so I do physical therapy when needed and workout 5 days a week.

I recommend google searching a lot of the Japanese kits unless you're familiar with them. Some are outstanding - some are from a different time...when accuracy and "replica" didn't factor in...

Holy cow. Beautiful model. Very realistic. Great work.
