I can't remember how much I've forgotten .

Nicely done , love the color ! I know what you mean about all those front suspension pieces , they can be quite fiddly and hard to glue in place .

Just copied a woodgrain pattern and drew some lines on it , really easy .

Thanks ! The hardest part was cleaning out all of the debris afterwards . Been working on and off all this week but there really hasn't been anything to post . Finished detailing the wheels and painted the radiator shell and front axle yellow to match the rest of the suspension . Very quick assembly to finish the chassis straight out of the box with nothing added . Instead of painting the wood floorboards I made a couple of decals .

Beautiful work Bobby , nobody would ever know that it's not an original Gypsy Wagon ! As always you're craftsmanship and paint work are the best !

Looks good , the decals are great !

Definitely some fine fab work there , keep up the good work !

It's not much but every little bit helps ! Thanks Glenn ! A couple of days ago John Goschke suggested thinning the front spokes and I guess I dismissed the idea . Well about an hour ago I started thinking "what the heck !" and went to work . Still needs some cleanup but here's the result . Thanks John!

Great detailing on a very overlooked kit ! I've always thought this kit had some potential and it's great to see one being done right !

I did a mock-up to check the ride height and it sits just like it should , HIGH off the ground like they all did back then ! I like the traditional look but want to lower the front to give it a bit of a rake and looking at the front axle this is a simple mod . The frame rests on two pads (arrows) , so removing them will effectively lower the front 1/8th inch or a scale 3 inches . Here's a nose to nose comparison showing the 3" drop . It's barely noticeable but I think it improves the overall appearance .

I was always a 1/25th scale and nothing else guy too , the 1/24th kits just looked wrong to me on my shelf . Then I started restoring these old Monogram kits and got hooked . . . built a new shelf just for them ! I got lucky as it didn't cost me an arm and a leg ! Very simple kits and they look great when finished !

That chopped '32 at the SEMA show is definitely a nice one ! You're off to a great start with those wheels and tires !

Real rubber tires are definitely cool . I've done that before but think I'll leave these alone . The 10 spoke outer wheel spokes look pretty decent to me . Absolutely ! About 70% of it is aircraft/military kits ., here's the car section of the catalog .

Nice one Pat , it looks cool in t hose colors !

I picked this up a couple of months ago , the box is a bit worn but the kit is in excellent condition ! The plan is a "Box Art" build straight out of the box . It's a very simple little kit so there probably won't be much to show in this thread but I'll show what I can . I actually won't be starting until this weekend so here's a few photos of the kit itself .

Excellent job and an outstanding L'il Hot Dogger ! It's got my vote !

Beautiful ! The blue with gold flames really set it apart from the rest !

Well done ! It's nice to see a '32 done up completely different from all of the rest !

Me too ! Very clean and a great looking Monkeemobile !

Beautifully done !

That's a real beauty , would love to see it on the salt !

Great job on the Duster ! Can't go wrong with Plum Crazy paint !

Beautiful color on a beautiful model of a beautiful car ! Did I say it's beautiful ?

Great build of an early Championship Corvette !

Pretty cool Vette , I like that look !
