  1. Really liking the build! These kits are fun and nicely detailed. You can see mine here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/159576-out-of-storage-dodge-dually-snapper/
  2. I wouldn't, for the effort involved, what's there paint details nicely. Best bang for the buck underneath is to give it proper tail pipes. Just cut and grind away the last straight piece from tip to where the curve begins, and replace with some tubing, and it will look way better. You can see my take on the chassis of the dually here:
  3. Beautiful build, and I love that color!
  4. Clean build! Cool to see one of these built up.
  5. Excellent use of leftovers! Testors copper sounds cool and kinda old-school perfect for this build.
  6. Very cool stuff waiting to happen! I'm especially drawn to the golden '60 El Camino, and that Caddy has a very tasty shade of gray on it.
  7. I like the sound of your color choices for both interior and exterior, should look sharp.
  8. Very sharp. Love the redlines against the mile-deep black. Well done!
  9. Love that interior shot, very realistic. Nice job.
  10. Very clean machine. Well done!
  11. Clean build, and looks nice in gold, but that blue is just gorgeous on a '58! I would never have expected to like it as much as I do! Nice collection.
  12. https://www.ebay.com/itm/195017305300?epid=18053590054&hash=item2d67efecd4:g:Tn0AAOSwIKNibbRu
  13. Hey look, there's a car, too!
  14. Interior work is very impressive so far, can't wait for more!
  15. She's a looker in gray! Very appealing finish, and clean build make me wish I had an extra hand to give it three thumbs-up!
  16. Another absolutely real and believable appearing model! Well done variation, and that's a sharp shade of blue; really complements the "wood". Good job.
  17. Nice save!
  18. I had to go to eBay to see the COBI kits available, and it is mind-boggling what they have available! (Budget boggling, too) The armor kits are pretty cool for what they are, and several of the plane kits are rather interesting. I saw a P-38 that looked like fun, but there are SO MANY! They have planes, armor, submarines, ships, even a humongous Titanic. The bigger kits have scary prices, but nowhere near Lego-crazy, and not really bad these days for what I'd consider a premium quality toy. I'm impressed with their approach to modeling real subjects, and the quality of the pieces themselves. Your plane, for example, is incredibly opaque in appearance, and red at that, so it avoids a "plastic-y" appearance. Red pigment isn't particularly strong in any medium, so no corners were cut in that respect. Good stuff, and thanks for introducing me to it!
  19. Looks good! There is something so satisfying about a nostalgia build; the memories come flooding back, and you get that shot of self-satisfaction in seeing how well you can do the kit now versus that first attempt. Fun stuff!
  20. Oh, absolutely post 'em! This is just neat. Sometimes you need a simple construction to clear the cobwebs, or at least I do. I find the engineering of these things very interesting, and myself couldn't resist picking up one of the new Airfix car kits that build up in a similar fashion, and have yet to assemble it, but the bits in the box are intriguing in their design. I suspect it must be much the same for you with this kit. I'll always take a look at a model if the subject interests me, whether you carve it from soap, chisel from rock, or assemble from plastic!
  21. Nicely done! Very clean build with realistic finishing.
  22. Yep, that's a pretty cool save right there. Looks perfectly appropriate for a paint shop truck!
  23. Very nice work on this kit, looks nicely realistic. What a beauty!
  24. Very attractive color scheme/livery on this racer. Very well done!
