Enjoyed following the evolution of this build. All the finishes look great, and I like the lower line side trim. The engine and chassis are the most impressive to me.
-
So many great looking builds, and I like all the phantom body styles.
-
Beautiful looking builds. Partial to the Woody and once owned a '66 Impala SS. The Citroens are an interesting car.
-
Beautiful looking paint finishes throughout. Amazing how good an OOB build looks when built in this way.
-
Great clean looking build and like the paint color and finish. Your picture of the orange Honda above, did you add bug splatter detailing on the front?
-
Very realistic looking finishes. The mechanical detailing is outstanding.
-
I'm building a Moebius '65 Belvedere I and the kits axels are very delicate, and they provide a short plastic spacer between the axal and the wheel backs. These are prone to disappearing since they are attracted to the floor. They are an odd size that can't be bought so I have had to improvise a little.
-
The Gundam chrome pen works great if you're needing to do some touch up or chrome detailing.
-
The only problem areas that I experienced had to do with the door hinges since the kit's hinges were designed long ago and were sort of fiddly then and haven't gotten any better with age. For the most part it is a well detailed kit with some build options. Just take your time and test fit the parts often during the build.

Ever watch World Rally Cup Racing on YouTube? They'll sometimes have in car camaras, and you can hear the navigator barking instructions to the driver in their native tongue until they crash and then they start swearing in English.

Great realistic looking finishes. They say that "Rust never sleeps" and this is a good example. -
Very realistic looking Torino. Nice clean detailing and I like the color. Don't see one of these built very often.

Beautiful looking paint color. Remember winning a $5 bet on those hub caps. Working in a shop a guy brought in a new Chevelle with those hub caps. The guy I was working for was going to take an air impact wrench to them to rotate the tires. He wouldn't believe me when I stopped him and told him they were just hub caps. The bet was for $5, and he paid up when I popped of the hub caps with a big screwdriver. $5 is nothing compared to how much one of those things would have cost when he got thru with it using the impact wrench.

Beautiful looking paint colors and finishes. Like the color on the Supra, and the Chevelle and Camaro especially.
-
Great looking builds and remember when you posted them thru the year. Look forward to the '40 Delivery as it is a favorite of mine.
-
Great looking builds. Not a bike builder, but the BMW looks very realistic to me. The Stinger Corvair looks well done as well.
-
Great looking builds. Like the finishes and the variety of subjects.
-
Great clean looking showroom style build. Like seeing them the way they were when new. Building a model of a car with memories like this is fun and you get to remines a little.
-
Only finished 2 builds for 2022. Impala SS and GT500 Bronco

Both beautiful looking builds. Like the way you blended the features, body parts, and drive trains from other models. -
I agree with radiohd10, about the level of detail on your builds and this one is no exception.
-
Smooth as a baby's bottom.
-
Paint is look'n good. I used to use a large box I picked up at the market for a spray booth and it worked pretty well.
-
Running into the same problem on a build on the bench now. I used a couple short lengths of copper and plastic tubing to adapt the wheels to the spindly axel ends.
-
The new inventory that is showing up has the new pricing. Locally the stores I checked still had some models offered at the old $29.99 price and with the 40% off I'm buying the ones that are either something I'll build or contain parts I would like to have for parts doners.
