koo koo ka choo!

Why do you assume all Porsche purists are dead???

You mean "Maurice"...

Nice and clean, but it's riding a little high.

If you post a photo directly from your hard drive it will show up in your post as a small thumbnail image that you have to click on to see full size. If you use a photo hosting site like Photobucket, you can upload your photos there, then copy the "IMG Code" below the photo and then paste that code here in your post... and your photo will appear in your post.

At the risk of coming off as a "hater"... I agree with Ken. The drive belt should be smooth on the outside, not textured or ribbed. That belt was about the first thing that caught my eye when I looked at your photos. A cool model in every way, but if it were me I'd replace that belt with something more realistic, to bring it up to the standards of the rest of the model. Just a suggestion...

You're quickly becoming the "Official MOPAR builder" here! Very nice!

Do you know that if you click on the thumbnail you get the full-size photo?

I was going to go by Quentin McLemore Pomegranate III... but it sounded too pompous...

You did such a nice job on that... I wouldn't mess with it. Lesson learned, though... stay away from clear enamel.

I'm with Tim... add the wing. If you don't want to mess with paintng the white stripe, you could either use white decal paper and do the stripe as a decal, or skip it altogether... maybe just paint the wing white. That wing looks really cool on a '66 or '67 Charger.

Fantastic! The level of detail is very impressive.

Early 60's Mopars were different, for sure... but credit to Chrysler for "daring to be different!" Nice model!

When I was a kid I built them all... stock, custom. drag, you name it. But nowadays I've settled into factory stock.

Remember... don't post your answer or any clues here. PM me with the answer. I need year, make and model. The answer: 1974 Holden Monaro GTS

My 2¢... a little OT never hurt anybody. Skip... don't know if you'll see this, but technically you're right... this is definitely OT. But what makes this forum different from the other one is that we are "family"... and sometimes an off topic subject will appear. Jon marked his post as OT, he did a google search first, he didn't find what he was looking for, so he asked us here if we had any suggestions. No problem with that as far as I can see. I'm sure you'll agree.

Cadillac?

The "dual headlights" are kind of odd... But the "beach" colors are cool!

Did somebody say something?

The chat room has been iffy lately... don't know what the problem is.

That's right. We're not talking about a whole new sub-forum with categories for aircraft, armor, ships, etc... just one more section called "Other Models," maybe at the very bottom, that would be a catch-all place for anyone to post anything that's not a model car or truck. Anyone interested would join in, and anyone with no interest in anything except model cars or trucks would of course be free to happily ignore it.

Aluminum or brass rod and superglue.

The body is definitely not scratchbuilt (as far as I understand the term)... but a modified production piece. Sure, it's highly modified, but you still started out with a manufactured body... and modified it. You didn't create a body by carving a buck out of a hunk of basswood and vacu-forming it out of sheet styrene, or by hammering brass or aluminum sheet to shape. To me, when someone says their model was "scratchbuilt," that means it was created from raw materials ala Gerald Wingrove. Like I said before, a model may not be entirely scratchbuilt but may have scratchbuilt components, which is what it sounds like you'll end up with. The "misuse" of terms that I was getting at in the first place is when someone takes a body from kit A and a chassis from kit B and an engine from kit C and some spare parts and puts it all together and calls it a "scratchbuilt" model, which it isn't.

If we do add an "other models" section, you always have the option of ignoring it... But based on previous responses, I think most members would say "yes" to an "other models" section.
