After a month and a half, I decided to add another coat of clear to the '66 GTO. Looks really good!

Two of my many Chargers in my collection. My 1969 Dodge Charger 500 and my 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee.

I got this kit and I noticed a bunch of short shots. So much for building it right away. I contacted Revell of Germany and sent them pictures and a listing of the parts and numbers of the offending parts and I had new parts in about a week. Good luck with yours John!

Thanks Mike!

Last night before I turned in for the night, I added some 1/16 styrene round stock to the holes in the rear bumper for the bumper guards. Then I added the bumper extensions to the rear bumper since they are part of the front bumper anyway. I decided to leave the bumper extensions along and paint them body color instead of trying to sand them smooth.

I finished decaling the interior this morning. Now I will have to use flat clear on the seating surfaces and semi-gloss clear on the dash and side panels.

Thanks Sonny!

I added decals and did some touchups of the interior and did some assembly. This was an hour and a half of work and I still have to add the interior side panels and the dash.

Noel, what year was the Porsche that your boss owned? Colors vary from year to year.

I've been working on the Porsche 911 a little bit. The wheels and tires are on and the interior is painted and partially assembled. The seats and the side panels need to have decals installed. Other interior parts have been painted brown and need additional detailing. I removed the headlights when I realized that they needed to be painted with Alclad II Chrome paint.

I had the same problem with the hood on my Challenger. I swapped hoods from a previously built Challenger and used it on this one and it was off on the driver's side. This kit is all wrong for a Challenger R/T. A 3-speed stick for a 440 6 Pack engine? The boot cover is way too thick? And, my favorite, it looks like someone dragged the chrome parts through sand before plating. I used old parts from a previously stripped Challenger.

Thank you Carl, Jeff, Chris and Mario! Station wagons are being replaced by SUVs and no one wants a station wagon anymore.

After looking at the side panels and some other parts, I have decided that some Semi Gloss Clear would be a good addition since it would take away the flatness supplied by the paint. The wheels are done then I realized that they are chome-plated and I followed the instructions and painted theme with flat aluminum. I may have to rethink this and get out the Alclad Black and Chrome paint and paint them as well as the headlight surrounds

Thank you Michelle, espo, David, Craig, Eric and Steve!

This is my 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8 painted with Tamiya TS-18 Metallic Red. I replaced the front grille with a piece of PE mesh, but it is built mostly OOB. I used to see this car in the afternoon returning from work.

I sat down with my Badger Universal 360 in my hand, some Tamiya XF-10 Flat Brown paint and I painted the interior parts of Will Trent's Porsche 911 Targa. Then I started painting the Fuchs wheels and I stopped to give my hands a rest. I still have the back wheels to do.

I have been recording the Will Trent series the second time around and looking for details of Will Trent's Porsche. The writing on the left side of Will's Porsche has been removed, so maybe I'll go without it since it does seem like extra work, even if I just try to get the font right. The series seems to be at the last episode for next week entitled, "A Bad Temper and a Hard Heart." On to Season 2, whenever that'll be...

Thanks Dann! Gonna have to get the air brush out and paint the interior and the seats. Brush painting doesn't seem right and I can't seem to be able to find an appropriate flat brown in a spray can.

I have been working on the Porsche by adding the front and rear suspensions and adding to the engine itself. Is this engine turbocharged? The interior is next and I may have to go out and get a can of flat brown spray paint or I will have to use my airbrush.

Thanks Mathias!

As I fired up my computer this morning, I worked on my Porsche 911 this morning. I installed the motor into the chassis along with the rear shocks. A test fit showed the ignition coil sitting above the hood line, so I remounted the coil lower on the air fan. I still have other parts to paint and install on the chassis around the engine.

Thank you everyone! My late friend, Barry Fadden had a '66 Chevelle SS and this is my version of it. He painted his a dark maroon color with Cragar SS mags.

I am nearly done with the Porsche engine. After looking at several Google photos over the last couple of days, I think this is how it goes. This is also a curious location for the ignition coil on top of the air fan. The instructions don't tell the name of the part, so I am flying blind here and I had to manufacture my own ignition coil.

Looking good John! Keep it going!

I have been working on Will Trent's Porsche 911 Targa. First up is I drilled 6 holes in the cylinder heads and one large hole in the distributor. Next will be the ignition coil. The single wire is for the coil to the distributor and the bundle of three wires are for the cylinder heads. The Targa top has been completed, but I'm not completely happy with it and may rework it again. The body is in the midst of sanding mold lines.
