Two I'd like to see, 2024 GMC Denali 3500 Dually and a transkit for the Fujimi Ferrari F12 Berlinetta to render this

Would be nice. I've still got an original unbuilt

Update 11-02-2023. Got back at this one as the clearcoat process on the 57 Crew Cab Car Hauler progresses. There's a scratch in the hood that requires a touch up of color coat and then clear. I cut out the front and rear windows using thesupplied templates and acetate sheet. They glue in from the outside, so a bit finicky. Then I glued in the lamps (front/rear), interior tub and lower body piece. Getting the frame ready to attach. I will then finish off the engine compartment, do a fina polish and add the remaining finicky bits like side view mirrors. Wheels are 3D prints from Off the Sprue. Detailed them out and need to air air valves (usually do as one of the last steps). Been a fun build thus far.

Yes. Was stolen and totaled by the thief. About 1.5 years after this pic. Wound up replacing with a 70 1/2 Z/28

My brother. SS 396, 325 HP, 4 Speed, Bench Seat, Black on black

Two weeks old from the dealership in early May 1968.

I've got two Styline versions, but nothing newer than this kit

Got the base and first clear coats on. Starting to decal the cab and hauler ramp body. Detailed the interior a bit. But not totally prototypical. The caster used the AMT kit interior tub as their base. The detail on the kit is exceedingly soft and this wasn't any better. I added some details including scratch built arm rests, door handles and window cranks. Once decaled and final clear coat applied, finally assembly will begin.

That is because the interior and engine came from the 250 GTO kit and were not updated. Also, the included cold air intake is not correct for a street version but could be construed an add-on. Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland DID an interior set but I do not believe Norm has it available anymore. HRM has an updated engine but is a $40+ option. When I built mine some 25 years back, I didn't have these parts and cobbled together pieces from the parts box to get more accuracy (including scratch building an air cleaner

I have the Monogram. Do you have that, the Hobby Boss or Italeri? The other aircraft I won is a 1/48 Monogram Eastern Airlines DC-3

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmm.... One was a 1/48 A-10 Warthog. Traffic patrol ?

Hey, at first, I thought the same. Modeler I was talking to said a sub wouldn't do such a rise to surface near survivors in the water. Makes sense. But you could read it either way in my view. There was some serious craftsmanship on display. I'm really not into that area either, but can really appreciate the work and quality. I would up with 2 1/48 scale aircraft from the raffle and wondering if I should "dabble" in one. Not soon though.

I was told the sub was sinking. Hence the life rafts near it as well as debris. Either way, stunning. It got Peoples' Choice. I certainly voted for it.

Went for the first time to this show. Picked up my good friend and wended our way down to Albany Oregon for the show. Very nice event. Smaller than the Nimcom and Bruce O'Hare shows I attended while in the Chicago area, but still great. Brought 3 models and came home with 3 awards, my friend came home with two. I also wound up with a good run on the raffles, even though tools and aircraft (their automotive stuff was somewhat weak.) I've included the link to the photo album. It includes all catgories, not just the 5 automotive classes. Some really NICE work presented. Album Link

That would be the way I would go with that for race versions

As long as you are doing the shorter wheelbase version. The longer wheelbase version would be a nice option

My two fave's in their collection are the 67 Cherokee and the 250 GT/L Lusso

Had a chance yesterday to go back to the Brothers' Collection in Salem Oregon. This time we were able to visit the "workshop" area as well as the collection. I took photos of the new stuff (not seen at my August 2022 visit) and some added photos of the more interesting (to me). https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAY9N5 And here is a refresher of my August 2022 visit of the collection https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjA3vsC

Got that right. Would save a lot of work correcting the AMT

Curious on the dimensional fit of the Doyusha DB5 and Aurora DB4 as I have the 2 and am contemplating the same fit.

Love those plug boots

Detail Master and Model Car Garage sell various grille "mesh". You just need to find the right size/pattern

Just arrived

The crew cab I got at club meeting (don't know who cast it) is rough on the inside and required some considerable mod of the interior pieces to get a decent fit. The mods won't be visible when assembled which is good because some serious trimming was needed or there would be big gaps in the firewall area. Finishing up the cab part and stripped the ramp body to repaint after the drop off the stand.

Update 3 Got the frame just about fully assembled. Cannot do much more until the cab is mounted so I can complete simulating fuel and parking brake lines. Using the Ford trucks exhaust and bendable rod, I crafted the exhaust system. I used rod as I had no solder of the right diameter, and no hardware store had the needed size either. Getting ready to mount the wheels and finish the painting plus the interior.
