  1. "Painting w/Q-tips" lol I hear what your saying,,I used to do that myself. It looks like a fine re- start to building as much as I can tell. Those Daniels Monogram kits are soo much fun to to,,ya know,,,I dont have this one,,Ive got others,,maybe Ill have to get this one. This build looks great to me,, Welcome back to the hobby!
  2. Great stuff there,,I wish those were still run today in races as much as they used to be.
  3. Those rims are perfect for that,,great looking car!
  4. Hi all,,heres my version of the 1/25th Revell 68' vette,,,,I did it as a combo car,,drag/Tran-am style,,sortof like you could use the car for either style. I did a few mods to it,,different windshield,rims + tires,scratch built roll bar,put wing on the trunk deck. Side pipe headers are from the spare parts bx. Put different headrests on seats. Other than that its the stock kit. Just a different spin on the Vette,,thanks for looking,,and happy building!
  5. Thanks all for the kind words,,its decent build,,did have to use the dremmel on a few things to get it to fit right,,I actually got the kit for the X-mas tree light set that was in it for the upcoming drag strip diorama in the works. Thanks for looking.
  6. wow,,way cool theme,,funny I watched this show just last night,,one of my fav shows,,Red Fox is soo cool. Great buidl
  7. Thanks am73,,I used testors rattle can silvermatallic blue,,hand painted interior ,,I actually got this kit for the X-mas tree that was in the kit,,lol for the strip diorama,,but I thought,,what the hey,,Ill build the GTO while Im at it. Thanks again.
  8. Looks great for not building for a long time. I restarted building in a similar manner as you,,I bought 1 kit,,from being out of it for 20+yrs,,,17 yrs ago,,and I couldnt stop after that 1st one . But I wouldnt trade this hobby for anything,,I do enjoy other hobbies,,,music,,landscaping,,auto modification/race prep,,but I always do modeling everyday. Keep on building!
  9. Man,, all you guys here build such great stuff,this being no exception,,Ill have to get an airbrush someday and see what I can do.
  10. Thanks for the kind words,,@DM,,yea the trunk deck wing looked a bit bizzare for this year,,but it was the only one that I had,,it seemed to fit ok,,so I went with it. @ crazyjim,,that setting is the base for the drag strip diorama I have in the works,,its just a 2 ft shelf pc,,with plastic sheet I got at the CNC shop I work at,,and made the gaurdrail + stuff on it out of leftover parts. You guys build some great stuff also,,stay warm
  11. Dug the color,,,nice build.
  12. What i do with cracked windshields is,,just find a related decal,,IE: campgrounds,,license plate tags,,or whatever and just place over crack. Just a thought. The crack is in the corner,,so it wouldnt be too out of place to have something there. Just a thought
  13. Whoa! amazing stuff there.
  14. great concept,,Im sure this will very cool
  15. Happy 2014 all,,hope your staying warm in this crazy weather. Heres what Ive been up to recently,,its the AMT 72' GTO,,a decent kit ,,although it had some "issues" as far as fit+ design,,had to modify a few things to get it together. But it turned out ok,,I used different rims+ tires,but other than that,,with some minor wiring/plumbing thats about all I did to it. Fun kit overall,,have fun and stay warm!
  16. Never seen that one,,looks cool to do
  17. Looks pretty awsome just as it is. IMO
  18. Nice,,dig the metalflake in the paint!
  19. Wow,,way cool,,didnt know this even existed. I now want to watch an episode of Mr ED,,and drink a 6 pack of budwiser.,,,and hope it all works out.
  20. Happy Holidays ,,just finished a 1/8 1995 Revell snap kit that I got @ swap meet. It turned out ok for a snap kit,,it actually has some decent detail molded into it. I didnt have the decals,,so I just put a TA wing badge on tank,,it looks kindof like a Harley badge. Also scratch built a sissy bar for back seat. Thank for looking
  21. Great stuff,,love the GSX's
  22. Sweet Job,,one of my fav cars.
  23. Whoa! That really grabbed my eye,,,great stuff mon!
  24. Nice,,i just watched the history of the ramchargers team on vid yesterday,,nice to see this.
