  5. That's fantastic! Incredible build.
  6. Thanks, Justin. Engine detail is kind of a unique feature on this Taniya kit.
  7. Thanks, Carl.
  8. Thanks, Michelle.
  9. Great looking Camaro. Very well done. Nice collection.
  10. Thanks, guys. @espo Yes, the dash gages do look nice, but you're right, it's unfortunate that you really can't see them once the car is assembled.
  11. Thanks, guys. I appreciate the comments.
  12. Great looking Corvette. Well done.
  13. I completed this kit about a month ago, but I lost a headlight somewhere. It was even glued into the grill & the grill was in the box. No idea where it went. Round2 was no help with replacing the part as the kit is OOP, but Carl (slusher) came through! I found the fit of the kit to be typical AMT quality. The hood (kind of) fits, the front wheels (sort of) steer, and all four tires (almost) touch the ground. Eh, whatever. It looks fine on the shelf. Color is Testors Gloss Metallic Gold (1244) with the black stripes from the kit. New York plate is from the MPC 1978 Dodge D100. Engine (glad there were two decals). Color is Testors Extreme Lacquer Bronze (1847). Interior (includes Best Model Car Parts dash gauges): Not the best "woodgrain effect", I know, but it's passable. Hope y'all like it.
  14. Great looking station wagon. Very well done.

    ‘79 Chevy Nova

    Nice looking Nova.
  18. Cool Beetle. Well done.
  19. Very well done. You sure have shown dedication the toe movie. Don't forget the "eleven long haired Friends of Jesus in a Chartreuse micro bus". ?
  20. Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. @Rich Chernosky The wheels are stock from the kit, and are painted with Tamiya Gun Metal X-10.
  21. Thanks, David. It's not a contest winner by any stretch of the imagination, but it looks pretty good.
  22. Fantastic build. Your attention to detail is amazing. Did they really just cover those air inlets with cardboard & duct tape?
  23. Thanks, guys & gals. I appreciate the positive comments.
  24. Here is my take on the Tamiya 2022 Subaru BRZ (ZD8): The build (per my build style) is box-stock, although I did add the Japanese license plates from Kagoshima. Japanese model of a Japanese car. Seemed fitting. Build went smoothly until final assembly when the model self-destructed five times while I was trying to put the body on. I'm going to guess that it was completely my fault, and not the fault with any defect in the kit. Body color is Tamiya Blue Mica TS-50. Engine bay (yes, kit comes with a hood prop): Interior: Not my best work, but I'm moderately please with the results. Onward & upward, right?
