Thank you Carl and David!

I had wondered if the Mod Squad Woody could made from the new Revell kit. I never researched the differences between the '49 and the '50.

Looks great, Curtis! Excellent job!

Looks great! Even the shifter is positioned correctly!

Thank you Atin!

Thanks Sam and Dann!

Thanks John and Carl! I went to drill the distributor for plug wires and the distributor broken off the water pump. I used my cordless drill on a slow speed and routed a groove for the replace shaft made from 1/16th inch styrene. I enjoy adding plug wires to my engines! I was thinking of replacing the water pump with another unit from my parts box, but I decided to stay with the kit unit. I found a better detailed set of exhaust manifolds and I will use those instead of the kit manifolds. More Barracuda to come...

Looking good Jr! I thought about getting that kit, but everytime I pick it up and look at it, I put it back on the shelf and walk away. Looking forward to your version.

John, I built the blue Barracuda back around 2005-2006. I had many people point out what was wrong or different with the model and nothing about how well it was built or if it looked good. Thanks for the pictures Patrick! I am not worried about the grille shapes. As far as I am concerned, it is a '68 that I am building and the grilles shape is close. If the entire grille was different, I would find a conversion kit and make the change.

Thank you Al, Christopher, David, Tom, Jerry, Larry and Guido!

Thank you Guido!

Thanks John and Mike! I had built a '69 Barracuda years ago and I had replaced the hood with one from AFX/N resin when they were still around. It was a kind of '68 Barracuda, but with '69 side markers. This one will be a little different.

This kit has been in my stash for a while and I plan on making some mods to it. The kit is an AMT '69 Barracuda and it will be backdated one year to 1968. I removed the peak on the front panel and I will replace the hood with a hood from Modelhaas, I replaced the trans with a Torqueflite short tail trans from Competition Resins and I partially assembled the engine, the wheels and tires are Pegasus Shuey's, the interior console is from the Revell '68 Dart Hemi kit. I haven't decided on a body color yet, but the interior will have white seats and side panels. The body has engine compartment side panels from an old AMT Charger chassis and it will have side markers made from shirt pins. More Barracuda to come...

I have finished my '71 Ranger XLT pickup and it is posted in Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who have viewed and have commented on my WIP.

This is my '71 Ford F100 Ranger XLT pickup painted with Testors Competition Orange enamel over Model Master Wimbledon White lacquer, a wired engine, whitewall tires and built mostly out-of-box.

The Story With the suspect handcuffed and placed in the back seat of a Police cruiser, McNally is driven by one of the detectives back to the old house where this adventure began. He changes his clothes back to his usual pants and t-shirt. He gets into his car after he puts on his shoulder holster and his gun and a shirt to cover the holster and gun and he drives down to Boston Police Headquarters to give his statement to detectives. Inside Headquarters he gets his Visitors Badge and he goes up to the Detective Squad and he gives his statement to Sgt. Det. Alonzo. The statement includes everything from when he left the old house in Brighton to the arrest of the suspect. The Build I finished the foiling of the body and did a mockup to check my progress. The cab still has a warp to it and I hope that when the cab is glued to the frame, the warp will go away. McNally will return...

Thank you Dann! The wood details were easy to do.

Thank you Larry, Matija, Carl, David, curtis and Trevor!

Thanks Anton!

I have finished my Volvo 850 Turbo Estate and it is posted in Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who have viewed and commented on my WIP.

This is my Volvo 850 Turbo Estate or Station Wagon for those who are not famliar with European nomenclature. It is painted with Tamiya TS-86 Pure Red with Tamiya TS-65 Pearl Clear. The interior is painted with Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black and is built box stock with the addition of headlight wipers from my parts box and my usual license plates. The decals were an issue since they were getting old.

Thanks Carl!

Thanks Carl!

While I no longer have any pictures of my 1:1 '70 Plymouth Duster 340, I did build a model of it about ten years ago with the AMT '71 Duster 340 kit. I scratch-built a front bench seat, added a resin grille from Sport Suburban, deleted the A/C and got some side stripes from the late Fury3 aka Dave Greibling.

Since the wheels and tires have been sitting on the bench for a while now, I went and detailed them with Model Master Metalizer and then some Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color. This morning I put the wheels and tires together and mounted them to the chassis. Then I found out that the chassis has a slight twist to it. More NCIS to come...
