Yours might have been the one I've seen because someone posted photos of one on here a while back that looked so nice it changed my mind about what I thought of these kits. Really quite nice in the hands of someone who's comfy with multi piece bodies.

Well, if we're including '60's...

This was fun to watch. Congrats to the finishers. And to the unfinishers, don't leave us hangin'

X2. He was in some bad B movies but I've suffered through a few on TV because he was just too cool to switch away from.

The failure in many of these is the depth of field... the blur in front of and in back of your subject. Those who have that figured out, along with scale textures and lighting have very convincing photos. John Teresi has it figured out. Aside from the obvious build quality, look at some of his outdoor photos.

Getting all those color separations is a pain the patootie, but it makes so much difference, and will really set off an all-black vehicle. This is going to look wonderful.

The closest I can get to modeling in the sum-sum-summertime is thinking about it while doing this.

Superb work Russell. I hope you can sleuth out more history like this. It's valuable.

Member KennB did one from scratch, the way he did most of his models. Sadly, most of the photos are missing from his build thread and he hasn't been around the last several months. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=44750

That's a rather handsome model there Ray. Might be place for this kit in my stash after all.

Apologies to the builder who entered this at NNL North, didn't get your name.

AT LAST, PICS HERE. Got them loaded to Photobucket instead of Fotki which allows me more preferences. CLICK HERE.

46. Seems appropriate.

Beautiful work there. The details are lovely.

RATS! Thanks guys. I'm not finding how to unlock that Fotki topic. Could be because I was using a free trial access. I'll move these over to Photobucket soon. Meanwhile don't waste your time on the link.

This was held last weekend. Took me a few days to get photos posted. I think I heard 311 models were shown. Enjoy EDIT: Not working. Check back for reposted photos.

I think that's the right choice. You'll have more fun drawing on Buick influences than trying to convert it to a Buick. It'll make a cooler custom that way too.

For some of us in the snow belt, when the days get long and the sun is warm, people are out and grass is growing, the world gets much too big to sit under a light bulb detailing a 1-inch engine. The 1:1 projects are like a physical work out. That is, it can be hard to muster the energy to start, but once you're under way the momentum turns it into a rewarding evening. Just gotta push through the initial start up.

Not sure how you feel about body mods Rob, but I've always wanted to see somebody lop about a scale foot off the back. (Thanks atomic holiday, hope you don't mind if I use this as an example.)

The link takes you to this page to use for online entries. See if this works for you. http://www.customclinic.com/?page_id=71

That's a lot of subtle detail. Very well thought out and executed.

Thanks everybody, much appreciated.

Thanks Tom and everyone else. Much appreciated.
