Thanks for the comments, Nice red on yours Terry

Thanks for the nice comments. If I can give you an advice, don't hesitate to do a lot of try before final assembly, especially with the interior bucket feet inside

Some more pics

Hi guys, Back with a new built : this time a 37 Chevy Coupe by AMT. Bone stock to the 6 Stovebolt. Don't know if you ever built this kit but final assembly is a nightmare !!! Nothing feats !!!! And it's a pity because AMT did a very nice job back then with the engraving of the detail and the overhall line of the car !!! Anyway, I'm quite happy with the result, it's box stock expect for the little wiring. Color is from Mopar ( a 67 one ) but looks very close to the "Ottawa Blue Poly" from the 37 color chip. Hope you'll like it

Would it be fun if they could find/restore the 58 mold of AMT Original series !!!!

Really nice job I like it !!!!

Very nice build, to me the wiring looks a bit thick but that's my 2cents

Well done

Very nice build !!!

Nice convertion !!

Where's the key ?

Thanks for the nice comments, I really wanted a period correct look for this one

And now some pics with an AMT 49 Merc I've built maybe more than 20 years ago now....

Hi guys, Back with a new built. This time the Revell 49 Mercury Woody wagon. Mostly box stock except I've replace the Cadillac V8 by a flathead coming from the 53 Ford combining some element of AMT 49 Merc ( like manual trans and air filter ). I've done some real wood for the interior panel as the one from the kit were too "flat" and no decals for them. So I've took some cigar box wood which is quite thin and put some wood coat on it. It's my first woody and was quite a challenge concerning the wood part. It's been painted fisrt with Tamiya TS46 "light sand", then the kit decals which were very good and to finish some coat of varnish wood. I'm quite happy of the result but I let you judge !!! Paint is a light grey, polished for a shiny effect. I was inspired by a 1/1 model I've found on internet, which was without WW tires so that's why I've choose to do so. I've made one mistake if wanted to be 100% stock, I let you see which one.... Hope you will like it !!

Here are some of mine this one from my son :

Same thing for me !!!!

Very nice job !!!! Impressive !!

Wow it's a long time I haven't seen one soooo nice !!!

Very impressive !!!! All the details and the overhall look of the car !! I'm in love !!!!!

Very very nice !!!! One of the nicest I've seen built !!!!

Really nice trio !!!
