  1. It looks great Jay ! Looks like something I would own , primered with no chrome , but nice wheels and it's fast !
  2. Good to see it back on the bench Pat ! It should be even better this time around !
  3. Excellent conversion Bruce ! Also in making it a 4-door , that's not as easy as it sounds either . Very nicely done , I'm sure your friend will love it !
  4. You're off to a great start Jay ! Good choice in painting the wheels black , all that chrome is a bit much on a car this size . They look much better with just a chrome trim ring , and you've got the stance perfect ! The chassis looks really good , very clean and nicely painted . The engine compartment looks good too , if you use a semi-gloss or flat black it will help make the engine and other details stand out . I really like what you've done so far , keep us updated !
  5. I'm not sure what you are saying . . . SMP produced a promo style '60 El Camino and later AMT released the '59 El Camino which has been reissued several times . The SMP tooling is probably long gone and AMT isn't about to modify the tooling for the '59 since it is such a good seller . Likewise it's not very likely that Revell would modify or make all new tooling for a '60 as there isn't a big enough demand for it , the '57 Ranchero is a much more sensible choice . As for my build , it is built using parts from both the '59 El Camino and the Revell '60 Impala . Anyway , thanks for looking . . . I hope you liked it !
  6. Thank you very much ! I doubt we will ever see a '60 available . The tooling exists for the '59 and it's a good seller so it will continue to be reissued .
  7. It looks pretty cool ! You're right about the Glitter Blast . I used it on a build about a year ago ( outside on my driveway ) and I'm still finding glitter inside my garage !
  8. That's pretty cool ! I don't usually pay much attention to something that's slammed like that , but you got my attention ! It wouldn't bother me a bit if I was seen driving it !
  9. Really nice . . . I mean Really Really Nice ! !
  10. Very nice Doug ! Beautiful paint and great use of parts from different sources . Great job !
  11. That's lookin' good Chuck ! I don't know how many reference photos you have , but I have a few more that I used for a build I did a few years ago . If you need them I can PM them to you .
  12. Very nicely done ! The paint looks great and the interior details are excellent !
  13. Thank you Bart ! And welcome back !
  14. It looks great James ! Always nice to see models of your cars down under !
  15. It looks great to me too ! The chop and dark maroon paint are perfect for it . Very nice !
  16. That's interesting , I must have a newer reissue as it definitely says 1/25th on the box . You've got me curious now , I can't wait to see what you do with the bicycle !
  17. Jim , I just dug my kit out of storage to look at it and I was kind of surprised , it's big ! The box says 1/25th scale but it looks closer to 1/16th scale .
  18. Very nice looking trio Tom ! They're decent enough to just clean up a bit and display as originals .

    1967 Camaro

    Hey Carl , great looking Camaro ! They always look better without the vent windows . Beautiful paint as usual , looks like you've got a real winner here !
  20. That's very nice Anne ! And it looks doable even without a lathe , I might give it a try ! The three spokes of the wheel on the car look like PE , or are they from the plastic wheel ?
  21. I think it looks great ! As far as the wheels are concerned , the first thing I put on my old clunkers is a nice set of wheels and tires , so yours look just fine .
