That's cool, Nick. Thanks for sharing

Thanks, Brian - I appreciate it

Thanks, Tony. I'm glad you like it. Hopefully, "someday" will come soon for ya.

Thank you, Bruce - I appreciate it

Thank you for the comments - I appreciate it. I liked this car when it first came out, so I am glad to have the kit on the shelf.

Thanks, guys. It was something different for me (I'm not generally a Ferrari man), but my daughter wanted it to be done, so what's a dad to do?

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. I am glad this is done and sitting on the shelf now.

Thanks for the comments, guys robertw, thanks for the tip on the decals - I'll try to keep that in mind next time

Thanks, guys For the dash, I sprayed the whole thing in satin black. When that was dry, I painted the radio, heater controls and other inserts in gloss black. The whole thing then got a light acrylic wash of black with a little blue. I found some images of the dash online and downloaded those. I cleaned them up and cropped the three displays as well as the insert with the engine lights into individual images. I used a micrometer to take measurements and adjusted the images. I then printed them off on white decal paper. I added the decals last and used MicroSol to make sure they snuggled down against the molded-in detail.

Thanks, everyone. I've been having fun cleaning out my stash of all the incomplete kits. Luckily I didn't have to scratch-build anything for this one!

Here's the interior: Here's a couple of pics under the hood: and here's the undercarriage:

Well, I am calling the Corvette done. This started off as an incomplete kit. Another person provided a donor car so that I could complete this build. The parts from the donor include the fan belt, water pump, upper radiator hose, and front tie rod. The rear stop light was made from a sanded down piece of clear red sprue. I modified the kit distributor so I could wire the engine by drilling holes for the wires. The carpeting is flocked as well and I made decals for the dash gauges (including the idiot lights). The body decals are old Fred Cady ones I bought last year. Other than that, this was box-stock. The body gave me fits during the build process. The body and the hood were warped (and still are just a little bit). After painting, I had to strip the paint and start over as the primer wasn't sticking to the body well (guess I hadn't cleaned it up well enough). After it was re-painted, I had another issue when masking off the yellow to paint the black. After I was done, the tape pulled off paint. So I had to re-do the body a third time. Anyway, here it is - hope you like it

Thanks, Scott - you have a helluva good name there!!

Looks almost like my old T-bird - I think mine was just a little bit lighter color outside is all. Of course, I didn't have wheels like that on it, but it looks good with 'em. Thanks for bringing back some fond memories for me.

Here's the engine shots: For those that don't know, the rear fascia is not painted black, but is rather a clear smoke color. I didn't have any clear smoke paint (sorry, but I'm poor), so I tried to re-create that effect on the clear piece that came with the kit using very thinned down black acrylic And here's the interior:

I was looking around for something to build and my daughter picked this out for me. What's a dad to do? I had to build what she wanted. This kit was missing a few pieces that I had to fabricate, but overall it wasn't too bad

This is my Monogram Bugatti EB110. This kit was missing parts, so I had to fabricate everything from the oil pan to some of the exhaust pipes. Well, I got right down to the end with this build, making the missing parts as needed - I get the body glued onto the chassis pan so everything is all tucked in nice and snug. Then I dropped the thing. With the chassis glued onto the body, I couldn't quite get in to put everything back in place, so I improvised. This is a model of a unique EB110 with an off-center engine - or at least that's what I'm telling people... I was able to get most of the parts pretty much where they belonged, but the engine is forevermore off-center now. I'll just say that it improves stability in a left turn... yeah, that's the ticket! Anyway, I'm calling it done and moving on, so here it is... I noticed after I took these pics that the rear bumper's coming off on the passenger's side - I'll fix that before putting it away... Here's the engine looking through the rear window: Even though the hinges broke when it fell, I can still simulate the rear deck being lifted: And here's a look at the front - not much room for luggage with the battery, master cylinder, and cooling fans:

glad to see it almost done - I like the engine in there

Thank you, Bruce.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it

I think it was the Mobay piece - got it from Mike's Decals

Well, here's my version of Kurt Busch's 2012 COT car driven at Talladega. The kit started out as Dale Earnhardt, Jr's #88 2010 Chevy Impala kit. I added missing bars from the rollcage, wired the ignition modules, used a resin nose for the car, and used decals by Stoney's Customs. The kids have been wanting me to build this for a while, so they're happy that it's done.

Thanks, Ron and Edgar. I'd wanted this model since I was a kid. It took me a while, but I finally built it and I'm happy with how it came out.

thanks for the info, Drew and thanks for the comments, Scott - I may need to pick up another one or two for later

thanks, Bill. I'm happy with how it turned out, too. yep - the windows kinda slide up and down - they don't roll
