Why thank you Michelle,,you do some great work also! I didnt like the banana yellow that was on the box art,,so I used tamiya TS-56 brilliant yellow, made it jump a little more. Thanks again ,,cheers!

Thanks so much folks,,you all build great stuff also!! Gotta go to Mid-Mi Motorplex this summer to get the real deal drag scene Thinkin about getting a 1:1 project car for my real garage.. Maybe a PS Pinto for street. Bob Gliddens PS Pinto from the 70's is in a warehouse in Yipsilanti Mi not too far from here where I live.,,saw it one night when my buddy was getting stuff out of storage ,,,not sure who owns it,,but was fun to see it up close. Build on!!

Greetings all,,hey its almost spring,,yeeehaaa! So,,this MPC 68 Coronet is a great kit,,I added some x-tras,,headrests,,x-tra roll bar pc w/ padding,,minor wiring/plumbing. Also my 1st try at a garage scene diorama type deal. All it is ,,sprayed cardboard,,drew bricklines and put signage on walls. Turned out ok. Sprayed car with Tamiya rattle can,,and interior as well. I like the multi pc interior,,easy to detail. A fun little project ,,I may have to do a larger diorama soon. Enjoy the builds here,,,thanks for lookin. S

Thanks folks for the kind words. This is a really fun kit to do,,everything fits+ lines up really well,,dont have to dremmel /realign stuff. You can get these kits off amazon and some other sites currently. Around 45-50$ depending. I dig all the old Large scale bike kits of the day. I have many in the collection. Go get ya one and have fun! -
Hi All,,just goin thru some storage stock and ran across this I built last year,,The Revell LA Street Chopper. Probably the most iconic kit for large scale bike kits. IMO Glad they re-issued it. Heres my version. Thanks for looking!

Thanks much guys..always enjoy folks builds here. This kit went together ok,,there were some leveling issues with the chassis/interior matchup but I put a couple of lift shims between the chassis and interior,,and got it all level. Thanks for lookin!

Hey all,,just clearing some kits from the shelves to make room for new builds as this AMT Cal Drag combo kit goes up. Rattlecan Tamiya + Testors spray. scratch built tire rack. Added header collectors on ends of headers. Roll bar padding on roll bar. tach on dash. Aftermarket rear tires. Fuel rails on intake manifold. Mounted distributor at back of motor,,looks a bit less cluttered in the engine bay,,I know its not 'correct" for a real 427 but thats ok. Finally got an indoor spray booth to use,,makes all the sub assemblies faster to pc together,,paint ect. Nice kit,,but a bit campy to put together,,but nothing a dremmel cant fix. Enjoy your builds ,,and theyll enjoy you.. Cheers S

Greetings,,wishing all a happy spring,,just finished this Revell GSX Buick,,what a wonderful car,,that big 455,,rally wheels,,great graphics. And a rear deck spoiler. I know they only came in white or yellow,,but I wanted a different color. I did the twin 4 barrel/hi-rise intake setup. And not alot else. Little bit of engine spruce up ,,wires ect. Great kit overall,,hats off to Revell on this one,,and look forward to doing more of these Revell Street muscle machines. And yes,,I really would rather have a Buick. Cheers!

Thanks guys,,enjoy your stuff as well,,I did the badman years ago and it was fun,,but this is a bit cooler graphics,,and has 2 choices for rims and tire decals which is a plus. I also added some decals that didnt come in the kit. Looks pretty good on the shelf. Thanks for lookin and comments,,gotta get back to watching "Counting Cars" they build some amazing 1:1 cars and bikes. Next from the bench: AMT 1/16th 55 Bel-Air convertible ,,build on!

Happy Spring all,,just cleared the bench of this one. The Monogram 1/25th 55 Chevy gasser,,which is the same as the "Bad Man" yellow 55 Chevy gasser kit ,,just with different decals. I kindof like this one better with the Patriot theme to the decals. I did add some x-tra stuff from my leftover parts bx,,the corvette bumpers on the front,,the drag chute,,different seats,,and some stuff in the engine bay,, a tach for the dashboard. Its such a cool kit to build,,Ive always enjoyed the early Monogram stuff. So,,on to my AMT 1/16th 55 Chevy convertable,,,,,,in jade green metallic. Thanks for looking,,,Build on!

Yea,,it comes on here on MeTV sunday mornings @ 6am,,,always a blast to see it

forgot about this one,,,,

Hi all,,I was watching the thunderbirds TV show,,,circa late 60's or so,,and I was amazed at all the model set work,,and vehicles ,,cars,,trucks,,landscapes in that show. The characters in the show are all puppets,,which is alot of work in its self,,but the space ships,,cars,,trucks ,,landscapes ARE AMAZING. There was no computer generated graphics in those days,,everything was hand built,,if you have a chance ,,check out that show,,its wild.

Happy Spring all,,its warming up here in motor City,,getting ready for the Autorama at cobo hall,,one of the best car shows in the nation,,along with the Woodward cruise in August. I just finished the MPC 67 ' GTO,,it turned out ok,,,warning about the front grill set. It dosent fit right. lol. not sure if its just the production lot I got my kit from Hobby lobby or what,,but man ,,had to file ..sand ect to get it this close. And as always I chopped,,cut,,modified quite a bit of it. I put some real tires on the back,,added some headrest to the seats,,added some side dump header pipes,,opened up the rear wheel wells to fit back tires,,installed a 409 mtr from the x-tras bx,,and 671 blower. Installed a replacement rear end from the x-tras bx. Rattle can sprayed red from the hardware store paint. hand painted everything else. Overall its a cool kit,,but it will test your fabrication+ modification skills. maybe if I had just left it stock it would have been easy,,but I hardly ever do that often. Build on!

Why thanks sir,,it looks cool on the shelf,,build on!

Great Bike,,love the bike kits. {Sidenote: If you dont want to do JDuty,,when they ask initial questions for you about your background or relatives ect,,just mention you know/known/hung out with ,, someone in law enforcement,, somewhere and they will excuse you from duty under "questionable conflict of interest" as to you being completely impartial . It worked for me years ago.} And I do have a relative who is a LT Detective on the Detroit police dept. And when they heard that,, I was one of the first to be excused from JD. And Ive never been called back,,and that was over 20 yrs ago.

Thanks so much folks,,enjoy all your works as well,,so much great stuff to see here. I was going to build it as the factory issued white color,,but I rarely do "factory issued" versions. Not that there not any good or whatever,,I just take what the factory started with,,and take it to a different level/style. But hey thats what its all about I guess,,the freedom of building the model the way you want. So thanks for the comments,,and next up on the bench:: "THE LITTLE RED GOAT" w/a 671 blower on a 409 mtr! lol,,,,,build on!

Thanks for the views,,build on
