Quick clean and detail on a promo Dodge Ram. I added the black trim around the windows, black washed the grille and wheels, added thin white walls to the tires (from vinylnation.com) and added the black trim around the tail lights. Looks much more realistic now. Still need to find a set of mirrors from a kit for it.

So this is actually one of Chuck's bodies? Here is a shot of the passenger side. It's a little better on this side.

Just got one of these that I won off ebay from Southern Motorsport Hobbies. While it's a pretty nice casting, the beltline contour of the body sides is missing over the wheel wells. Mostly so on the driver's side as you can see in my pic. I've included a pic of my original JoHan 2 door promo wheel well to show the difference. I know that Ratnasty is producing one as well, and wondered if anyone who has his can compare it to this one. I'd like to have my correct. I am not bashing anyone here, and if it were going to be a drag car replica, I wouldn't mind. But it's going to be built stock, and I'd like it as good as I can get it.

Not really builds so to speak, but modeling techniques were used to achieve a more realistic piece. Here's my 2014 promotional re-furbs.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments, and the Ford sedan body is from Morgan Automotive Detail (M.A.D.)

What a gorgeous build!

Killer cool builds! I can't pick a favorite, I love them all.

Awesome builds! Gotta love the Malco Mustang and the little dune buggy!

Very cool, I love the '56 Ford!

Super sweet builds!

WOW! The absolutely look real! Amazing builds!

Awesome. Man, I'm really diggin' the patina'd '50 Olds.

Fantastic beautiful builds!

Wait a minute while I put my tounge back in my mouth........... ................just absolutely breath taking! Beautiful builds.

Just beautiful. You are one fine builder. and I LOVE the Texaco display case!

I always enjoy looking at everyones builds for the year. Great bunch of modelers on this board! Here's my builds for 2014. These are the kits I completed, not my detailed promos.

Stunning build, and wonderful colors! I could have sworn it was a real car!

Yes, all the trim on the car is foiled. Thanks to everyone for all the kind words!

Very nice weathering! Love it!

This is a promo I rescued. The factory Ming Green metallic actually polished up very nicely, so I left well enough alone and detailed the interior, sprayed the roof in white, blackwashed where appropriate and added bare metal foil. I like it because of the 2 door post body style in 500 trim.

Awesome! Color was a great choice, due to it being found mostly on the full and mid-size GM cars. Wish I could find a can of it somewhere.

Very nice '58 Tulio. I cheated for this one and found a Danbury Mint Christine. Lol.

Gorgeous build and colors!

Another beauty Al. Love the color!

Gorgeous color. Beautiful build!
