  3. I didn't know that you work on these decals !!! there great, lot's of possibilities !!!! Thanks for the nce comments !!
  4. And the last ones !!! : this one when it was incomplete but with the 2 other Gremlin I've built !!!! I think I've enough of Gremlin built now !!!
  5. Hi guys, back with a new built, the last one from this year !!! The one I know you were all waiting for : the Gremlin 4X4 Snow Plow !!!!! It's a long time project that I start last year I think, than I loose "faith" in finishing it. And finally get back to it to finish before the end of 2015 !!! Lots of "first" for me in this built !!!! : First in real dirty body, first in rust work all around, but not too much as it was suppose to be in order to "work", first attempt with weathering set.... Suspension parts came from a Esci CJ7 Jeep... Snow Plow stuff from the Revell GMC. The original idea came in my head like this : what would it be if the AMC guy have mix the Jeep suspension and AWD system on a Gremlin ? And there it is..... Still need some weathering here and there but you will judge !!!

  10. Hi guys, Back with a new built. This one is kind of special to me : a few month ago I've lost one of my best friend from a brain tumor. He was a very nice guy and I miss him very much. He was also a very good modeler. And I've bought some of his models from his widow. This one is one of his. It was built/painted at 80%, so I decide to finish it as good as possible. I detailed the interior, polished the paint, did some stuff for not seeing the interior bottom through the front wheelwell, and did the final assembly. It's an original Johan kit from 1960. I really like that car and I hope that you will like it too !!!
  11. Very nice job !!! Funny as I'm working on the same model but painted as the Dee Dee Mc Call version, great !!! Those MPC kit were very well detailed, I think the difficulties are the stance and wheels place...
  12. Thanks for the nice comments, if you have a picture of your first car, I would like to see it....
  13. Thanks
  14. Not my best so far.... Anyway, as usual camera reveals more "wrong detail" than eyes can see
  15. Some more Tell me what you think
  16. Hi guys, back with a new built. This time a 1967 Plymouth Fury 3 Htop Coupe. It's an original one from Johan. I found it as a built dragster model with some missing parts. So I decide to restore it full stock. The color is the ref from 67 call "Light Turquoise Poly". Hubcaps are from my parts box and are very close to the "basic" one they put on the car. I'm quite happy with them : it's changing from the usual "Road Wheels" replacement. Tires are from the AMT pack.383 Engine is from a 68 Dart Revell so it's got the right auto trans, as on the original kit, you had a 426 Hemi manual.... Hope you'll enjoy it
  17. Very nice !!! I haven't seen the Ford Pick Up
  18. Sehr schonn !!!!! A very beautiful built, the color suits the car very well
  19. Nice Pontiac, I remember when building my convertible that it wasn't an easy kit to work with to have something nice !!! Congrats
  20. Very nice built !!!! It has that "period perfect" look I really like !!!!
  21. All I can say is WOW !!!!! Everything seems perfect to me, and you can't loose with a black paint/red interior !!!
  22. Thanks for the nice nice comments and memories !!! I had a 65 Oldsmobile with the 330ci and it was a very nice engine, that car was fast even if it wasn't a "muscle car"....
  23. Brings back good memories, very nice bild and idea !!!
  24. AS usual Scott, when I go in Car parts shop, I always look at spray can and when I see some color that suits car very well I bought them As I live in France, I don't know which car is this color from...
