Some of my other builds

I finally got a tripod, remote and I built a photo booth out of foam board....so now I can post some pics of my "four foot" (they only look good from four feet away!) models. Enjoy.

Nice pics of some nice builds! I guess we'll all have to just stand four feet away and enjoy them! As I mentioned on your Charger post, your engine compartments are especially nice ... very convincing.

Greatpics Frank.I like em all.What color is the Chevelle Wagon? My first car was a 69Nova SS that was that color.It was called "Grecian Green" whose paints did you use?I'd like to try it again with the new Revell kit.

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. The '66 Goat is actually a curbside. I had masked off the trim to paint alclad chrome on it, and when I lifted the tape, some adhesive was stuck to the paint. I used Googone to try to wipe it off, and it burnt the clearcoat, leaving a big stain on the driver's side...I gave up on it and finished it without an engine. The 65 Z-16's tires are a bit of a disappointment to me...I tried to use shabo dry transfers for the yellow lines, but I could not, for the life of me, get them to work, so I used the compass and acrylic paint method. What you see there is the best job I could do with my giant sausage fingers

George: The '66 wagon is Testor's Model Master Boyd's Ice Blue Pearl. I have some older bottles of this paint that are more blue; my newer bottles of it have a greenish tint to it that makes it look more like Grecian Green.

Ledsled Merc: the stance is actually unmodified from the kit...I used the tires that came with the Revell '65 Impala SS along with some resin steelies and dog dish caps. When I do this one again, its going to have a 327, and I'm going to use the stock hubcaps that come with the '66 ElCamino.
