  1. Same here ! My finished models are in sealed cabinets but when air freshener was sprayed near my workbench it damaged all of the chrome parts the same way as the OP is showing . It also did some damage to freshly painted parts but not as severe , I was able to wipe them down and polish the spots out . Ever since then nothing ever gets sprayed anywhere near my workbench !
  2. Really like that look and the green paint is gorgeous ! Nice work !
  3. That's awesome ! Love the clear hood idea and the cut down windshield , very well done !
  4. Thanks Jason ! Thanks Ray ! Thanks Robert ! It's a retooled Tweedy Pie released in the 70's . Thanks JC !
  5. I don't build many '32 Fords but I will just to use this grille , it looks really nice !
  6. Thanks very much Bob ! Thanks ! I haven't looked lately but I'm sure the prices are getting way up there . If you have a Tweedy Pie it's the same kit except for the wheels & tires , and I have a complete original decal sheet it you're interested . Yeah it definitely has the 70's look !
  7. Thanks John ! Can't believe you remember , it was at least 10 years ago ! Thanks much Joe ! Thanks you Mario ! The kit comes with steerable fronts .
  8. Beautiful Impala , the paint and detailing are superb ! Gotta love a 348 Tri-Power !
  9. Best version of that kit I've seen yet , great job !! They may be Sox & Martin colors but they sure look good on that Chevy II .
  10. Beautiful Shelby , the paint and detailing look excellent ! Well done Harry ! Just my opinion so don't take offense . . . it needs more rubber , those skinny tires just don't fill up the openings enough . Still it looks great and I'd be proud to have it on my shelf !
  11. This is an older build that I took new photos of for another site , I built it 10-11 years ago when I just got back into the hobby . This was probably my first attempt at running brake and fuel lines on a chassis . I also added a MAD distributor , brass screen to the radiator shell , some gauges , and replaced the kits rear tires with some from my parts box . Nice little kit , it's a 70's version of the Tweedy Pie with all of the fiddly little parts .
  12. Thanks Phillip ! They're a good distraction from from the more serious stuff . Thanks much ray ! Thanks Neal !
  13. Thanks Rick ! They're 2 piece plastic so I sanded the heck out of the . Thanks Joe ! Thanks Tony ! The AMT VW body is a bit larger and better detailed than the Zinger body .
  14. Sharp looking eliminator and in the perfect color ! Great photos too !
  15. Well done Andy ! That color looks great and I really like those headlights !
  16. I wanted to build something quick and easy so I dug thru my parts and came up with this . It's my home built Zinger using a body and front wheels/tires from an AMT 1/43rd scale VW , engine from MPC Popcorn Wagon , headers from Revell Anglia , rear wheels/tires/axle and misc pieces from my Zinger parts box . These are the same parts Dennis Johnson used to build his very first Zinger back in 1970 except he used the rear wheels/tires from an MPC Olsonite Eagle , I had those but decided not to break up a complete kit . It was fun but not so quick , ended up taking almost four weeks to finish ! .
  17. Ooo there he is again . . . well done Bob ! I'm going to get some Vallejo paints and give them a try .
  18. Wow that's nice ! That color is beautiful on this one , one of the nicest 58's I've ever seen !

    Well done Pat , I love these snap kits !
  20. That's super nice ! Don't think I've ever seen this kit built , I like it especially with the white walls and that Gunmetal paint . Great job Bob !
  21. Thanks ! Thanks much Carl ! Thank you Bob !
  22. I ordered half a dozen sets last year , like already said the service is excellent and shipping times are fast . I emailed him with questions about custom colors on two sets and it was not a problem , I sent him photos and he made the decals to match no extra charge ! Great guy to deal with ! There is also a North American dealer that sells on ebay : https://www.ebay.com/sch/pontiacbanker/m.html?rt=nc&_dmd=2
  23. Thanks Hector , me too !
  24. Thanks Doyle !
  25. Sharp looking car and great color combo ! Well done !
