  1. Thanks Mark ! Thanks Peter ! Thanks Ray !
  2. While searching for something quick and easy I came across a box with several of those small Weird-Ohs figures that I had bought years ago and thought Digger might fit into a Li'l Red Baron , and that's how "Li'l Digger" was conceived . I modified the LRB by replacing the front axle and tires with parts from a Roarin' Rail with clear plastic wheels and I made decals for the spokes . The rear wheels are the LRB pieces with the centers replaced with Screamin' Vette centers , and the backs of the tires were blocked off and the shoulders rounded . The engine was pieced together from my parts stash . The figure was modified to fit and sprayed with DullCote then his helmet was repainted yellow and Digger's fingers were reshaped to better grab the shifter . By the way that shifter ball is a 10mm acrylic bead , I had to buy 250 of them so if anybody wants some let me know !
  3. Not sure if that will ever happen which is why I decided to pay for these . I bet if any more sets pop up on Ebay they'll be priced even higher !
  4. That's one nice looking Model A Coupe , beautifully done Alan !
  5. Well done Mike , beautiful paint and trim work ! This was well worth the effort that you put into it !
  6. Super nice looking Eldorado Jay ! Boy those were good looking cars .
  7. Here's a few of what I've picked up over the summer , they are all new/complete and the Cougar is still sealed ! I built all these as a kid so it's really nostalgia that made be buy them again , at pretty decent prices too . I do plan on building them all except the nomad , that one I just really like the box art . Got these a couple weeks ago on Ebay . A seller had several of them but they were kinda pricey so I just bought two sets .
  8. I'd buy this one in a heartbeat !
  9. Beautiful '55 Jim ! That color is really sharp and the interior upgrades are something I'd do in real life !
  10. Really sharp looking Sonoma and that color is gorgeous ! It's a shame the new body styles are so ugly .
  11. Sharp looking drag boat , the paint and detailing are excellent !
  12. Very cool truck John ! I really like seeing different paint schemes and decal/logo layouts and this one looks excellent , great job !
  13. Stephen , Ron passed last year but this build thread shows what looks to be the kit decals . https://drasticplastics.proboards.com/thread/6242/amt-chaparral-2a While Ron never had a chance to build the 2E he did build the Arii 2C kit . . .
  14. Very well done John , looks like a real sleeper in white ! I'd never known this was your first time applying BMF , congrats !
  15. Beautiful GTX Andy , really looks good in that color ! Is the grille photo etch ?
  16. Beautiful work John , your foil and trim work looks excellent ! Love that color too , I have a can I'll have to use one day .
  17. Great use of the chassis and other spare parts , great looking pickup ! I forgot about the Rat Roadster tires , have to use them on a build one day .
  18. Have to agree that is a very cool looking Tow Truck ! Great colors ad excellent fab work on the boom !
  19. Beautiful Camaro ! Perfect color and I like it with the RS grille and those stripes . Where did you get the redlines ?
  20. Absolutely beautiful Super 88 and it looks perfect in white ! Your foil work is so precise especially the emblems and script , excellent work !
  21. Thanks very much Roger ! Finding a GT grille is the hard part .
  22. I really like that color , and lowered with the big meats it looks awesome ! Great work Bob !
  23. Very well done Ken ! I was a little worried that JF tank would be way too big for your build but it looks just right too me , and all of the gold accent really works with that color !
