  1. Incredible. Simply incredible.
  2. Had a great time at the show. FAST guys did a great job hosting the model show. Highly recommend attending if you can!
  3. I designed this set for MCG and I'm sorry you have had some trouble with it. It appears you have butted the Photoetch piece to the edge of the dash instead of attaching it UNDER the dash. The speaker grille needs to be much closer to the dash pad for it to fit as the unmodified kit piece. From the instructions: "Included in this package are several pieces to enhance the dash supplied in the AMT kit. The top of the dash of the real car is metal with a crash pad on top of it. The area on the top of the dash that is not the crash pad needs to be replaced with part no.26. The dash has a very faint line of demarcation that is a good guide of where to cut to add the metal top. Part no. 26 is designed to be glued UNDER the dash so that a lip is left as the edge of the crash pad." I've included the illustration that shows where to approximately cut the dashboard and a photo of the real car that sort of shows how this works (hard to find a shot of the dash through the windshield). Also, this piece works well in the 1st gen Camaros as well. I used it in my build of this '69 Camaro and it greatly improved the detail seen through the windshield. Hope this helps.
  4. As others have said, this is an amazing video. I found and contacted the creator of it. He said the people were pipe cleaners with hand made uniforms and clay heads!
  5. Those are some serious sixes there!
  6. Looks Kool! I built one very similar to yours about the same time. Various PE parts have fallen off mine as well...
  7. Looks cool. As others have said, nice weathering. Cool how you set up the steering.
  8. I love this so much. Nice build and I prefer indoor shots!
  9. Great build, love the 1:1.
  10. way cool idea and execution. made me smile!
  11. awesome build, awesome pics. love it!
  12. Very nice build! Nice attention to detail esp the muffler clamps.
  13. This is precisely how I build my models. It takes a little extra time, but it will save time and frustration when it comes to painting and final assembly.
  14. Awesome job as usual! Love the pics with Fitti!
  15. super nice build! looks like you had a lot of fun with it.

  18. Very impressive model. Inspirational scratch building.
  19. Looks perfect. Great job!
  20. I have 2 Drag Piranah kits coming my way that I "Spotted" at a well known online hobbyshop for under $13 a piece. Think there might be a couple more left. Very exciited to see the UNCLE car coming back. Another grail off this list.
  21. Saw a few pix of this from the Table Top show. Cruised over here to find your final pix and perused the WIP. Great Job! Need to start saving my pennies, cause I want to build one. Hope it comes out half as nice as this one. Hope to see it in person soon!
  22. I'd drive that! Impressive detail job.
  23. Nice job on both. The door jambs look great.
  24. Wow, just saw this one came back. Thanks for all the nice comments.
  25. Cool thread. Makes me happy to see all these builds since I had a hand in many of the MCG sets. Here a some on a couple of my builds. The green Charger has a Nascar grille, I used black decal paper on the backside, before gluing it on. Keep 'em coming!
