I'd say you're back. Striking piece overall but what got my attention is your foiling. About the straightest edges I've seen anywhere.

After all this Mopar talk, the '60 Cor-Vex's 283 sounds like a punch line, but it's almost done being wired. Photos will be posted when I have something to boast about, which shouldn't be long. The interior is half painted and half masked for color number two. Primer on the body revealed some pesky but manageable problems. I get at it about every 2-3 days, so no rest for the weary and all that.

The stance is dead on perfect. Any more or less and it would betray the piece. Superb all the way around. Excellent quality pics too.

Though you are completely correct, the concern is that somebody who is easily duped will get scammed. We take it as an insult and makes us protective of our fellow modelers who are vulnerable to vultures. Anybody whose beloved parents are elderly will know what I mean.

My favorite part of HS and college art classes was everybody being given the same assignment, then seeing the exciting diversity of interpretations. CBP is one of the first places I go.

Add a mid-range, versatile, gasoline engine truck. People have been clamoring for the occasional Opel Blitz for years. Something newer that can fill the gap between pickups and semis.

Crop and/or size your avatar jpeg photo to 200-pixels x 200-pixels. You can use the Photobucket editing tools to get your photo to that size, then it'll drop right in.

**Sniff, sniff** Smells like a punk.

That's fantastic! Very fun, lots of character

Nice concept and execution. Makes me want to go on vacation.

That's amazing! Who's the poor bloke who lost all his homework? BTW, excellent photos. You did a masterful job of answering most questions with photos. That's photojournalism buddy.

I do believe this is the first one I've seen built. Fantastic. Wonderful job.

Hey everybody! I decided to take the pickles off my hamburger today.... Here's a picture of my feet. ***There, now it's exactly like Facebook.***

I always had a warm spot in my heart for this kit after enjoying the build as 70's youth. You did a great job with it. Nice day-tripper.

In short: College roommate and I renting a house. He had inside chores, I had outside chores. He had ten thumbs and a flailing dust rag. Every week more pieces were laying next to my openly displayed models until I had to pack them all away. His excuse... "Don't blame me, you shouldn't build those things so flimsy." To his credit, he gave me 3 old, 70's vintage kits he got as gifts but never cared to build. (MPC Fire Fighter Mustang II, Revell Fun Truckin' Ford Courier, AMT '34 Ford Pickup w/custom parts.

That's amazing. But if those prices are correct it would be painful to spray it as liberally as shown in the demonstration.

Of the many times I've seen this done I've been left a little vacant. But as an accent used like this, WOW!! That's truly exciting!

Why would original shrink wrap even be a big deal? All it does is create doubt. Wouldn't the model sell better and be worth more when collectors and buyers can verify the original contents? I know of at least one case where many owners of a box honestly vowed to the authenticity of an original kit until someone finally cracked the vintage plastic only to find heartache because somebody, many years earlier did a switch-eroo. Shed the plastic, show the guts and cash in with confidence.

I love what you're doing here. You may have already seen these in your research, but here are a few reference photos to help show how much you may still have to soften the Magnum's character lines. I sure like the Mirada.

Great sleeper Nick. I like the wheel choice too. Kind of a fresh take on a Mopar standard.

You must work at Wal•Mart.

Personally, I'm a little suspicious. Heat shrink back then was a little cracklier and would certainly have yellowed by now and either compressed the box a tad or cracked in some places. Seller only says "sealed." If it was original shrink wrap he likely would have heralded it boldly.

Beautiful, clean build and quite striking. Nice work.

Mine has remained unbuilt because I keep thinking it will always look toy-like. Thank you for the excellent example of why it should be back on my "to do" list. Great pics too BTW.

That's pretty forward thinking, considering you were awfully close to what the new VW is going to look like now, at least in the profile. Any more (bigger?) pics?
