MGL Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) My completed models for 2016. I don't build when I am at sea so I only get about half the year to build. Most of the models I build are pretty close to out of the box with just a little bit of kit bashing and some extra details. Foose 67 Coronet. I moved the spindles up in the front on this, to look right the whole car should be lowered another 2 scale inches or so. 62 Thunderbird 49 Ford, one of my all time favorite cars. 56 Chrysler 300. 66 Barracuda. This is the Motor City Resin Caster kit. The only thing I added was the redline tires (I didn't have any blue stripes) and steel wheels and poverty caps. 69 Barracuda. 68 Dart GTS. 69 F-100. Gremlin X. 29 Model A. Mini. Box Art from the Mod Rod kit. Pink Floyd van. 49 Mercury. Van on the Run. I may get the reissue of the Sunbeam Tiger done still this year but I'm not banking on it. Thanks for looking. Edited December 17, 2016 by MGL mispelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyRed Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 All very impressive and you're very prolific. Did you do the airbrush work on the Pink Floyd van? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGL Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks for the comments, its much appreciated.All very impressive and you're very prolific. Did you do the airbrush work on the Pink Floyd van?These were decals I made from artwork off the internet. Next year I'm going to do the Revell Chevy Van with the Pink Floyd Animals album artwork including the powerplant and I think that's going to be a combination of decals and airbrushing. I was thinking of and asymmetrical mural that starts on the drivers side front and continues around to the front of the passengers side.Looks like a great 2016 to me. They are all very nicely done. I just started building that 62 'Bird also. I didn't realize it sat the high in the front! Great job.In looking for information on the engine I found a couple of sites that were helpful including this: http://www.tbirdranch.com/6163concours.html Towards the bottom it gives the factory ride height at each wheel well. I didn't try to correct it or even measure it because I like the slightly nose up look I see in a lot of the cars in some of my dads photos from the late 50's and early 60's Hot Rod scene in D.C. and southern Maryland. I'm not sure if that was a trend elsewhere but I think it adds a bit of character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
