  1. Beautiful Impala , the paint and detailing are superb ! Gotta love a 348 Tri-Power !
  2. 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 .
  3. 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 !
  4. 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 .
  5. Thanks Phillip ! They're a good distraction from from the more serious stuff . Thanks much ray ! Thanks Neal !
  6. 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 .
  7. Sharp looking eliminator and in the perfect color ! Great photos too !
  8. Well done Andy ! That color looks great and I really like those headlights !
  9. 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 ! .
  10. Ooo there he is again . . . well done Bob ! I'm going to get some Vallejo paints and give them a try .
  11. Wow that's nice ! That color is beautiful on this one , one of the nicest 58's I've ever seen !

    MPC 1940 Ford

    Well done Pat , I love these snap kits !
  13. 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 !
  14. Thanks ! Thanks much Carl ! Thank you Bob !
  15. 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
  16. Thanks Hector , me too !
  17. Thanks Doyle !
  18. Sharp looking car and great color combo ! Well done !
  19. Oh my that's nice , beautifully done !!
  20. Beautiful 442 John , that red looks super ! Glad you remembered the mirrors , it does look better with them .
  21. Well done ! I watched a lot of Winston West races and Ray was always a favorite .

    Trans-am

    That turned out great Bill , definitely a top shelf model !
  23. Thanks Trevor ! I wish more of my early builds survived this well . Thanks Ray ! Thank you Joe !
  24. Looks good to me Chuck , It's great seeing one done in yellow ! I built mine a looong time ago but don't remember anything particularly difficult at least no more than any of the MPC or AMT Corvette kits at the time , they did have a reputation for fiddly small parts . You said you had warped parts, was this one of the new Round2 reissues ?
  25. I posted this a couple of years ago and with Round2 recently reissuing it I thought I'd share it again . This is a survivor that I built in 1977 straight out of the box and painted it with good ol' Pactra 'Namel , no primer used or clear coat . I loved that stuff ! This was the first kit that I built when I came back from overseas and I'm very happy that it survived the last 45 years ! Here's the condition when unboxed several years ago . A few more , enjoy ! Didn't notice before but it looks like the 45 yr old hood prop (toothpick) survived too !
