Very cool John! Love the stance, and the "big 'ol slicks"!

Rich...I was going to suggest "MV" lenses, but these look sooooo much better! The pattern sets them off perfectly! What would happen if you put a smaller, clear "MV" lense behind it....Do you think that it might enhance the look?

Wow Andy...this is turning out really nice! Can't wait to see it finished! The engine with the turbo looks great!

Beautiful conversion Tom! It certainly looks like something your Aunt Margaret would drive to the local "Piggly Wiggly"!

Beautiful Job! The exterior and interior colors really work well together!

Wow Bob! This is beautiful! A fantastic transformation! Well worth your efforts! Congrats on the article.

Yup...'70's all the way! And boy...does this bring back a memory. One rainy night back in '74, and I mean pouring, a guy pulls into a gas station that I was working at, with, if my memory serves me, a '69 or '70 somethin. Raked like you wouldn't believe. Cracks his window and hands me three bucks for gas. OK...no problem. That tore up rain poncho will....whatever. I get done, and as I give him the thumbs-up he stops me and through the crack asks for fifty cents more. All the while his buddies are yuk'n it up. Well, was he ever surprised when he pulled out onto Main street! As with most stations the drop between the drive and street was a bit higher, and since the valves for adding air to his shocks were both located behind the drop down license plate. Also where the gas filler was. Well...ya know....I kinda let a bit of air out of his shocks. I know, I know.....not the nicest thing to do, but it sure made me smile as I stood in the bay dripping wet and watched his tires smack up into his wheel wells! Oh and Bobby...great lookin Goat! Sixty-six through sixty-eight are, in my mind, the best years for the GTO. I've got an MPC '68 that I picked-up as a rebuilder off of Ebay waiting to be restored. I think that after seeing yours...that '68 will need to move up in the line-up.

Beautiful build Shane! Great stance! Love the "bigs 'n' littles"! Where did the engine set-up come from?

Beautiful Merc Brett! You just can't go wrong with gloss black and flames! And thanks for the polishing tips!

A "Yenko" 'vette! Now this is unique. I know that they did build some, but a model of one is different. Nice job!

This is really cool Tommy! I like the "unchopped" look with the wide whites. Blue & gold.....interesting combo, but cool!

Killer build Yuri! The subtle little things make this stand out! I agree with "Harry P.", by far one of the best I've ever seen.

Really nice Camaro Brian! Looks like something that would roll accross the stage a Barrett-Jackson and bring big bucks!

Very cool build Manuel!

Beautifuly done! This model deserved to be finished, and you did it justice! I love the license plate...nice touch!

Nice job Paul! Love the tape on the back seat...nice touch!

Rich....can't you just see Eddie Haskell waving good by to Ward, June, Wally, and the Beav as they roll out of the driveway. I can! Great job!

Beautiful looking street car! Nice choice on the mags!

Off the wall subject, but beautifully done! You certainly captured the look! Nice work!

Beautiful '59 Steve! Incredible interior work! Very nice!

Tim, This build is stunning in both it's overall appearance, and it's incredible engineering. There are a handful of individuals capable of reproducing this type of accuracy in a 1/25th scale model, and you are definitely one of them. I agree with an earlier post from a fellow modeler that this belongs on the table at GSL. I too came back into the hobby about six years ago after a thiry-seven year break, and through this forum I've learned a great deal. Most of all, that this is a great group, and very supportive. When you get the chance, Google Augie Hiscano. There are several articles, and photo's of the late Mr. Hiscano's work. As with you, he had a tremendous amount of patience and skill. If you are not familiar with him, then I think that you will find his story very inspiring. Thanks for sharing this. It makes me realize that I will "continue to persevere" no matter how futile my efforts may seem!

Outstanding build Yuri! Beautiful job!

Steve, out of the two wagons at the "CKM" show.....I liked this one the best!

Fantastic work Steve. I saw this at the "CKM", NNL show in Clemons, NC this past Saturday, and the photos in this post only do the actual model "half justice". You have to see it to truely appreciate the work that went into it. The transformation is flawless! Nice job!

Awesome Caddy Dale! Love the choice for the wheels, and the killer stance!
