Lindberg ?

Thank you Bill , glad I could be of service !

I usually do but this time I was experimenting with different methods of printing them on white decal paper with a plain old inkjet printer , I used both Paint.net and Inkscape for these . The thread being moved was a decision by the moderators , I'm not going to second guess or argue with them .

Thanks ! I have CorelDraw x8 that I use for most of my artwork . But for this and the other faux box art I've done I used Paint.net , it's very easy and quick .

Thank you everyone again for all of the kind words , I wasn't expecting this much response . Thank you !

Looks like you've got the rust down pat , very realistic !

Holy moly is that nice !!!

Great job , it looks just right !

Pretty cool ! I love the concept and you nailed the look !

Beautiful models ! They're all so nice I could never choose one over another , great job !

Nice work on the T'rantula , love the paint !

Beautiful looking Slingshot dragsters !

Great job Craig ! It looks great in orange with the white stripes !

Thank you everybody , I appreciate it very much !

This is the second "Never Was" model in my tribute series to the 1/8th scale Monogram models of the 60's . Creating the faux box art was part of the fun ! The Little Drag was created using parts from a Little T and a Boomer Bucket . The tires are Monogram , the rear wheels are from a Li'l Coffin and the front wheels were made by adding trim rings on top of '49 Merc wheels to make the deep steelies .The Chevrolet Script valve covers , headers , blower , scoop , Moon tank , tach and gas pedal came from various kits . The hand brake , shifter , and steering wheel were all scratch built . The roll bar and push bars were formed from polished aluminum rod and I made my own decals using the Big Drag decals as a guide . The finished chassis and everything awaiting final assembly . A few more . Up next the "Little Tub" .

Great looking Fairlady Z ! (Datsun) Saw plenty of these while stationed on Okinawa in the early 70's , this and the 240Z were the best looking of all the Z's .

Beautiful color and great paint job as always !

Ooooo I like those colors !!

Beautiful work , it looks great ! Knocking them out as quick as you can may not be the best way to get experience though . If you take your time and treat each sub-assembly as a finished model you'll learn some patience , which is more important than anything else .

Very nicely done , the black turned out great !

Nicely done ! Great detailing on the engine and interior !

You should be happy with how it turned out . . . it's beautiful !!

Hated these cars when they were new but now like many other cars of that era they seem kind of nice . Great looking model !

I just measured the Revell Cutlass convert and the Revell '69 Camaro convert , the Cutlass is 5/16" wider at the opening in the bodies where the top would go . I don't have the top .

Agreed , this Rat Rod I really like ! Most are rusty pieces that were tacked together in a garage somewhere . Very nice work ! Where did the mesh come from ?
