Very nice conversion work. I've turned that kit down a number of times because I couldn't figure out anything to do with it. Are you going to scratch build the grille?

Amazing job, and probably the only time I've ever seen this kit built. Maybe everyone else just gave up?

Lots of really neat stuff coming up.

That looks very nice, and the color looks much closer to the factory shade.

I saw some color-shifting colors getting stocked.

He's local. The cars are bigger than 1/2 scale, closer to 3/4.

I was just at a local HL. Three employees were remodeling the model aisle, new paint chip strips in the Testors case for new colors coming, and one employee showed me their stock arrangement sheet; a page with color thumbnail pics of all the coming kits and where they go on the shelves. Included were all the Revell kits - the Baja Bronco, Foose FD100, '70 Charger, Big Game country/High Roller GMC, basically all the kits that are blowing up on eBay. Don't be impetuous, just wait for them to come back in stock. Let the online crowd pay way too much, they seem to like that.

Minus eBay's 20% fees, or $11, your actual profit was $26.

Update: All molds are made, some had to be re-made because there were strange air bubble problems in the resin castings. It's a weird thing, what works well on some parts will fight you tooth and nail on other, very similar parts. The only thing to do is try molding in a different way that splits the part in a different configuration in the silicone. If that makes any sense. Molds in process: Some finished castings: Test fitting of parts to body: Lots of great progress made in the last few weeks, shouldn't be much longer. Thanks to everyone for your patience.

Not even close.

Just checked his feedback page on ebay, which is still up, this is the most recent feedback: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No reply never received, don't buy from ever again.

Top notch!

Those decals are a must-have.

The '59 Ford car-based stepside pickup might be the basis for an idea. Same basic theme... '70s style street machine...

Very nice job on a kit not known to play nice, and the spoon flare idea is quite inventive.

Got a '76 Torino and a 914/6 at HL at Greenfield and the 60. They still have a few 914s and a snap 2017 Mustang.

Very cool, not many small parts left! I am almost done with the '88-'89 steering wheel and column mods.

I spent all of Sunday at the Master Caster Remote Desert Outpost. The mission was to set up the new shop, organize the many projects, and pre-stage them on a long counter divided and labeled by project and in order of when received. We got a lot done, almost half of the shop is now organized, and casting can begin again in the new digs. In the number 1 spot is the Crown Victoria, followed by three other jobs, as we felt that four jobs on the table at any one time should suffice. Casting is all about organization, and without it things can get confused quickly. Greg has also been working on a new, large center island table that the actual casting takes place on, with an encircling high pressure pipe array that has chucks for the many surrounding pressure tanks, powered by a new large compressor. A new industrial style A/C system has also been installed with exposed duct work and vents, and you can make it cold enough to hang meat in there. A lot of work has gone into this shop, and it's going to do very well. A few pics:

Great looking truck, love the colors, and this has to be the most popular new kit in the history of this board. Top three, at least.

Great job, and not one but two, no less. I have always thought that these CJ7s were among Monogram's best efforts in terms of scale and proportional accuracy, and these builds do them justice like no others I've seen.

Wow, stunning and jewell-like.

It's funny how the Celica looked so much more Mustangish than the Mustang of the same era.

Outstanding, Dwayne. Looking forward to seeing your new LTD-S (single headlight) header panel, always my favorite design.

Wow, how cool! Love the Mercer Raceabout, (there were possibly two) and I bet they were affordable back then.

I considered picking one up for 35 mil. Hey, that's half price!
