How about trying a kit one from those AMT 68-70 Plymouth / Dodges? I know I have a 70 Coronet pro street at home

Agreed! Super presentation! That’s a valuable skill in itself. I especially like your interior detailing. One suggestion, you may have found a tighter fabric in doll house supplies, especially for what they call “half scale” which is 1:24.

Here’s a photo of the grille badge. The actual areas of color are smaller and there’s a lot of silver and maybe gold detail. Best option may actually be a decal from this photo. I’ll bet that’s how the mints did it

When I was 12 I got a very nice Framis folk guitar for Christmas. I had big plans! My parents hired a lady who was giving guitar lessons on the army post where we lived. First day she asked me to hold out my hands. She shook her head and said, “short stubby fingers.. you’ll never play a guitar!” And she left! I was devastated! I never did learn but for some reason I still have that guitar! It’s sitting on display in my basement rec room.

Very cool! A few years ago I fell in love with a 1:1 34 Ford 4 door street rod. Ever since then I’ve had the bug to fi something like this

That is the nicest slant six ever done in our scale! When Spotlight Hobbies had a release on clearance a while back I bought a case of six. The slant sixes are gold to me and the chassis fits under all the Johan sixties Mopars!

Very nice work! I’ve been thinking of building a Chevy from this era since I still see a lot of them around my area

I will eventually do something with it. Probably try to use the good parts, like bumpers, wheels etc with an AMT 58 Plymouth Fury kit

I have this one which is just as bad. All four posts have broke free.

I regularly print gauges on regular bond paper. I use white glue, the canopy cement. I generally do not cover the faces with it. Another source for gauge pix is eBay. Often you can’t get a decent shot with the steering wheel in the way. Look in the parts section for good photos of just the instrument cluster. i generally resize the photos in Word. I will create a line of the same one and resize each image by 5% less each image. Print this and pick out the gauge that fits best on your model’s dashboard.

Cooked or raw

Love the action shots!

For little worms

Like crows eat

I’ve always been a four wheel person, ever since I was a little kid. Same with models. I don’t see any trend because I belong to model car clubs and attend (in good times) model car events. Ive never had the slightest interest in aircraft or military subjects. Interesting since I was an army brat and grew up on military bases!

Humpty Dumpty had...

Not for hut?

Cool ?! Love the tire load

A major example is the 1966 Valiant Signet promo. The roof got significantly changed that year and word never got to AMT so the previous year’s roof got on the entire promo run. Best I can figure, they never made it to distribution and got destroyed. The remaining very rare examples all came from Chrysler employee’s collections. Thats why there was never a Craftsman kit for that final year.

Interesting conversion!

Neat!

There are enough 4 cylinder engines out there in scale that one should be able to find on that reasonably resembles the Luv engine. Recently or easily available kits include Datsun and Toyota and even the Dodge D50 Mitsu pickups. Yes, there may be a scale difference but as long as it looks right sitting in the bay
