LL3 Model Worx Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Those look fantastic... I love the minion garage and the barracuda! Too darn kool! Wait a sec... how did I miss that Merc? DUDE! Those colors are AWESOME! Edited December 27, 2019 by LL3 Model Worx
Plowboy Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 You had a good year Bucky! I really like the Datsun and the Catalina!
Scott8950 Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 all are very nice but i really dig the barracuda and especially the 240. i had a few 240s with v8s in them. fun!!!
Bucky Posted December 27, 2019 Author Posted December 27, 2019 Well, thanks, guys! The Barracuda is painted with TESTORS color change paint. I tried to upload a video of it spinning on a turntable, but couldn't figure out how to do that. The Z-car was a fun build. The hood is covered with a carbon fiber decal material. Took a bit of solution to get that to lay right! LoL. The MINIONS had been laying around in the way for a time in the hobby room, so while I was building the ESTES garage kit, I decided I'd toss them in for a bit of comic relief!

bbowser Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Great work on them all. I'm partial to the Model T delivery, that garage is too cool!
Bucky Posted December 27, 2019 Author Posted December 27, 2019 Thanks, folks! I appreciate the comments. The Model T was a little finicky to build....it had a couple warped parts in the box. The garage was a fun project.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Nice work! Love the Minions in the last pic! I need to find some of those guys!

Dann Tier Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Love your builds here!!!....and that Minions Diorama is a Gas!!!!, lol
Bucky Posted December 28, 2019 Author Posted December 28, 2019 Thank you, Dann! I got those little MINIONS from a seller on eBay. Here's a link to the build up photos: https://public.fotki.com/imperialbucky/minions-garage/ I never posted a build thread for the garage. Wasn't sure how much interest it would generate.

That is KRYLON Gloss Khaki from a rattle can. I sprayed it over Duplicolor gray primer. It laid down fairly smoothly.
ewetwo Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Nice builds. I've always wondered why they never made the stock body Barracuda. And I love your work force. They look very busy. LOL

The one I built in the above pic came from this kit: I understand it's the same as the Hemi Under Glass kit.
mustang1989 Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 I really like the minion garage!! LOLOL!!! Good stuff Keith! I like that Barracuda as well. My first car was a 66 Barracuda and I've been looking for a stock version of the kit. Can't seem to find one for a reasonable price. May have to see about a resin offering......
Snake45 Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Great stuff! I especially like the Cuda, and the Pontiac's not too shabby either. Well done and model on!
