  1. Great builds. The Camaro is my favorite, but they all are great looking builds.

    2017 Builds

    Very nice collection for 2017. I remember the '58 Impala build and I think the '64 also. I really like the '55 Step Side. Very productive year.
  3. Nice looking Kustom Ranchero and the top on the Falcon looks like something Ford should have done. You wouldn't be a Ford fan by chance ??
  4. Another great looking build. That is a perfect color combination for this body style.

    Seven for 2017

    I like how you followed the Box Art on your builds. They are all very clean looking.

    2017 Builds

    Great looking collection of builds. That Road Runner just stands out.
  7. These are all done so cleanly and then I noticed you're working with 1/32nd scale, way beyond my skill level. Nice to see some models that you wouldn't otherwise get to see.

    chevelle

    Great looking Chevelle. The Wheel opening Moldings are very faint on this kit and the fact that you were even able to show them is an accomplishment. Those Hub Caps were an option on the Chevelle and weighed more than any Hub Cap had a wright to. When these were new I remember a couple of Chevelles that we couldn't get the Tires to balance once we reinstalled those Hub Caps.
  9. Outstanding Body work and the Paint job is very impressive also. Don't often see a Flamed Corvette but this is exceptional looking.
  10. Very impressive work on the Grill, you need to cast that for the future.
  11. This should be interesting to watch. I remember when this truck was featured in Hot Rod Magazine and others. I never figured out why the roof was painted Flat Black.
  12. And a very happy New Year to you and yours from the Edge of the Prairie Kansas. A good place to be from.
  13. Beautiful display cabinet, and the lighting makes a perfect way to see the kits without handling them.
  14. What an unbelievable find. This and the Revell's '56 Ford Convertible and the '56 Ford F-100 pickup were some of the first kits I built as a child. The multi part body was difficult to build at the time but they did make a very well proportioned body when done. I would like to see this subject redone today in 1/25th.
  15. Beautifully done. I always liked that style of Kustom. You managed to do the body modifications perfectly including the paint treatment. A friend of mine had a '58 Impala convertible in the early '60's, it had a White Body and Top with the Red Interior. While it was stock it was a great cruiser.
  16. Great looking Mustangs. The Green and Gold ones are body styles you don't often see. I like the Boss with all the different colored body parts.

    2017 builds

    These are all outstanding builds. I agree with everyone else on the weathering, these look like well worn tools that only get a bath if it rains. The longer I look at that Tractor the more you notice mismatched panel colors as if they were replaced once. Two different colored front wheels and the Hat looks perfect for the subject.
  18. That is a beautiful build. You can see the effort you put into the paint finish. I'm glad you mentioned the two tone treatment as I thought it was just the lighting. The wheels make it look like the current trend in Street Customs. With a slightly smaller diameter wheel with a little more tire side wall and it would look just like something from a few years ago. The advantage is that you could just change them back and forth as you see fit. Which ever this is a great looking build to be very proud of.

    Builds 2017

    Looks like you had a great year in the cabin. I like the beach theme builds especially the Model A Wagon. The VW builds are all special in their own ways.
  20. I built the Ventura version last year and followed some of the suggestions from other builders on the Forum and the only problem I really had was the Hood. The Hood wasn't warped, the problem that I encountered had to do with the Grill fitment. The back side of the Headlamp Buckets on the Grill would hit the Radiator Support before it would fit into place. Did a LOT of grinding on both and never got it 100%. I didn't find this until all was painted and was in the final stages of assembly even though I had test fit everything. Knowing this problem now I plan to really pay attention to this problem on the Catalina build that I'll start after my Suburban build. I think this is a great kit and I wouldn't let any of the minor challenges keep you from building it.
  21. I hope they aren't counting on any of my money this month to help pay the bills. Nothing there to get me to pry open my wallet.
  22. Very nice, we just never seem to get to see any RR builds here. I like the Bus also.
  23. The tight photos show the attention to detail on these Camaros. Very clean builds. I'd like to see all of the Camaros you mentioned together. Maybe after the first of the year you could post all of them.
  24. Those are great looking builds. I remember following the Mustang build, I really like how that turned out. Unusual color on the '36, #20 looks almost to clean to run on the beach.
  25. Very nice clean looking build. I agree with you on the color combination, it looks great on that body style.
