  1. Great looking weathering and I like the way you aged the signage on the truck.
  2. Beautiful paint work. I liked the contrasting Gold, and now with the Cobra in tow it really fits.
  3. Great looking build. I like the way you did your detailing under the hood and the different colors you used on the chassis gives it a very realistic look. I have often used the same magazine for referencing a subject and found it to be about the best. The TS92 paint is one of my favorites. Another one to consider next time would be Testors 1840M Flaming Orange as it is just a shade darker.
  4. The Goldberg reference was one I grew up with. My father served in WW II and it was a common reference about creating what you needed with what every you had to work with. Some of the stories he would refer to, and I wouldn't think my father was involved except my mother verified, did not seem like the father that I knew. As they say that's war.
  5. Good because it was meant to be. I'm often hesitant to use expressions that my be from another time as it may now have a different meaning.
  6. So many great looking cars and trucks. I look forward to seeing the rest of your photo gallery. The dog looks pretty happy about everything.
  7. Looks great. I like Rally cars and watching the little bits we get to see here.
  8. Great looking build. Your diorama really adds to the look.

    Very nice. I like the COPO look. What was the source for the wheels ? The rears look as if you may have combined two wheels to make one.
  10. Beautiful looking build. Nice color and smooth paint finish. Great looking interior and a speaker cabinet under the dash.
  11. My compliments on your "Rube Goldberg Engineering". That is a very old term a more modern one might be a reference to Mc Giver. Glad to see you used a vent to the outside. The actual spray booth part is larger than most commercial spry booths sold.
  12. If GM and the Pontiac Division could have just hung on another year we would have gotten the Ute. I was already to trade in my '05 GTO that was the2 door version. The local dealer had already told me that as soon as he got the order info he would call me so we could order what I wanted. Sadly it was not to be. Should Revell or another company offer a really good kit of the UTE I would buy more than a few kits.
  13. If you have a COSTCO near bye, you should check there. I went thru much the same thing both with Walgreens and a couple of different small local pharmacy's. I found my deductible was even much lower at COSTCO, I think it had to do with their volume purchases. My neighbor across the street has had to install T shaped metal stakes with reflectors on them in his yard. We have fairly flat yards and the street makes a gentle bend in that area. Under a couple of inches of snow it is hard to tell just where the street is. The stakes are from Home Depot and they are a few bucks each.
  14. I always enjoy your photography. Thank you for sharing. So many beautiful looking builds and some great ideas for future model builds.
  15. You might look on line for pictures of a '67 Impala. I think the kit hood could be changed by sanding down the center a little bit and filling the area for the fake vents.
  16. Beautiful looking build. Excellent paint and interior finish. I have always liked those wheels on "sports cars" they just seem right. This should bring back some fond memories.

    Looks great. I like the sparkle in the paint. Is that an OEM color ??
  18. Great looking paint and paint finish. I like the stance. The Schwinn Sting Ray bike is neat. I remember the Goose Neck handle bars and the Banana seat.
  19. First off this is very well done indeed. This is such an iconic car for it's place with Ford and it's designer Mr. Shinnoda it at first seems a shame to not have it pristine looking. But to display it in it's present condition also required far more building skills and its appearance is very realistic looking.
  20. Very nice clean looking build. I like the paint finish as well. I agree the wheels really do enhance the look of your build.
  21. This should be interesting, you don't often see the '67 Charger kit built.
  22. The '32 Sedan Delivery sounds interesting. I've never seen this kit before and the box art that I have seen the body doesn't look right to me. Could you post some pictures of the contents and give your opinion as to the body shape ?
  23. You have 19 people over the wall, at least that was all I could count from the overhead picture. Seems to me in addition to their assigned duties their biggest issue is staying out of each others way.
  24. I don't think they sold well. Note the wheel well openings. Don't know which one is weirder the front or the rears.
  25. I was wondering where McNally had parked his rig. Turned out great. lots of well done details and a great looking finish.
