I've always said, "To have nothing to do, I always say busy!". As much as I enjoy building and see others post their accomplishments, I can't always keep up on the photo ops and posting, so it's easier to post all at once when there is more of a relax atmosphere......

1970 Dodge Charger:  The Revell FnF kit bought at the Clemmons,Nc meet this past fall. Falls in line with the quality of the 68 and 69 Revell kits and I'm sure they got a winner when it hits the shelves.  Got the last back seat and a rear tail light panel with lenses from Missing Link when it was posted on the forum this past fall and used the hood from a Revell 69 Daytona and used MM Firery Orange and a flat black base to simulate the Factory Color of Burnt Orange  to complete.  Defintely plan to buy more for stock and NASCAR builds....

1968 Chevrolet Chevelle

A resin body that a friend gave  me.  Used the AMT 69 Chevelle for a donor. The second build I put a vinyl top on using masking tape.

US Army Jeep

The Hogan's Hero Jeep kit. A nice diversion because I only had to use Olive Drab, Flat Black and Flat Aliminum....

1956 Desoto Firedome

Bought this kit and a another, 59 Dodge Adventurer, at a Farm Sale a few years ago. While my buddy was looking for a small tractor to cut his 4 acre yard, I was keeping a eye open for any kits.  Found the two in a wooden basket with old cowboy boots and other odds and end.  Thinking that no one else would care and pass over I kept a close eye and ear until bidding started.  I was thinking $20 while the owner decided to bunch up a few more items to that basket  and off the bidding went to the 40 and up range. Didn't win the bid but I did get with the buyer and offer $15 for both to which he gladly accepted and even threw in a free soda that my buddy had just come back from the concession stand with....that he bought to "sweeten" the deal.  Just a old Johan Promo kit with tinted green windows and a plain bottom plate...

2016 Dodge Challenger R/T

A coworker at the Dodge dealership gave me the kit because of lack of interest.  Since I had just bought the real deal the 1st of the year......why not? The kit was the AMT 2009 Challenger.  A little body work and mods to the grill and rear tail lights and the wheels/rims from the Revell 2013 Camaro (since they are more accurately represented for the 16 Challenger).  I call it the Mini Dodge to the real Dodge....

I like the color on the Charger. I've been thinking of trying that combination on something myself. Good to know what it looks like, thanks!
