Thank you for sharing. Man, there are a lot of sweet looking builds here.
-
The Gasser option is nice to have. Looks as if the only seat option is from the NASCAR version. Just leave off the side bolster.

"Danger Ranger" AMT 77 Econoline Van
espo replied to KurseD's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Beautiful looking paint work and looks like when the Van Craze was in full swing. The "Shagan Wagon" interior is all well done. Ah Farrah Fawcett, who didn't have that picture tucked away somewhere. -
Great looking paint color and finish. Like the interior trim. What did you use for the seat pattern inserts?
-
Great looking GTX. Like the interior and engine details. Got the stance and the Crager's always looked right on the MoPars.

Mpc 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler 70’s street machine flavor
espo replied to GoodbuildNY's topic in Model Cars
Beautiful looking paint and vinyl roof. Like the back story and helps with the time frame for the Tunnel Ram Dual Quads. The Cyclone Spoiler never got them attention it deserved when new. -
beautiful looking color and finish. Like the stance and upgraded wheel & tires.

Have owned a few El Caminos at different times in the past. I really mis them and wish GM would have imported the Manero Ute before the dumped the Pontiac line along with their Holden family. I already had the Pontiac dealer who sold me my '05 GTO ready to order me a Ute and take my GTO in trade before that all happened.

Stash organization
espo replied to atomicholiday's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Most my stash is not on display because of its volume. I'm using boxes from U-Haul and Home Depot, and I'm sure there are others with much the same type of boxes. The boxes are 25"x25" and 28" high. U-Haul lists them as TV & Computer boxes for moving. They seem a little sturdier than most and provide openings on two sides as handles. When full of kits you will find these handy. I try and keep the boxes contents on a small spread sheet and box the kits by subject, I.E. Chevy, other GM, Ford and Chrysler. I also have a couple of boxes for NASCAR and other competition vehicles. With the spread sheet I can tell what is in the box without removing all the contents to see what is there. I cross off anything removed and pencil in any additions. -
They're still out there
espo replied to Modlbldr's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
If only these cars could talk. I would love to hear their tails of late night goings-on. -
Great looking interior. What color did you use? This looks much like the Tamiya Pearl Lt. Blue I have used on my present '67 Charger build.

39 Chevy sedan delivery
espo replied to junkyardjeff's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great looking restoration. Up until now I have always considered this molded color as ugly, but seeing it done in this manor I like it and think it looks feasible in real life. Like seeing the six getting some well-deserved attention here. -
1999 Ford F-150
espo replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Like the paint finish. Every now and then you will see something like this on the road. Makes you wonder what all had happened to the truck in the past. -
Van out of Hell
espo replied to Chinacar's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great looking rebuild. Like the mural and the tire splash. -
Freshened up Lindberg 1967 Olds 442 from Nov. 2020.
espo replied to Dragonhawk1066's topic in Model Cars
The paint color and finish really pop now. -
Great looking paint work and clean body trim.
-
Ouch, that will smart. I found the hardest part was relearning how to chew on a steak. If you were to ever see me in person, you would realize that I have managed to overcome that problem.
-
Love the expression on her face.
-
I have a Pro Shop '76 Caprice with the trailer if it will help you out. It has been opened for inspection only and is complete.
-
You captured the look of the car in the TV series.
-
Beautiful looking pictures look more like a real car than a model. I remember seeing an article on a Karmann Ghia done in much the same manor in one of the enthusiast magazines last year.

Christine’s reincarnation goes awry
espo replied to Earl Marischal's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
If this isn't photo shopped my compliments on the body work. Would make a great looking "Bad Guy' Car" in a movie. -
Old Revell 56 Ford pick up
espo replied to larrymoo's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Loved the subject and have owned a couple of 1:1's years ago. But a few of the body proportions in this kit leave a lot to be desired to say the least. -
Do You Create A Backstory For Your Builds?
espo replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My complements on your design combining the features of so many different year models together and actually making them look correct somehow. This model reminds me of an auto insurance print ad from years ago. I don't recall the companies name, but they would photo shop a picture of a make-believe car in their insurance ad. Looked like they didn't want to pay royalties to any manufacture but wanted sort of a generic looking car for their ad. -
You couldn't make this stuff up...
espo replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Do you think?
