You had a good year Bucky! I really like the Datsun and the Catalina!

[Scott8950]

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]

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!

Nice ones Bucky , you had a great year ! 

[bbowser]

Great work on them all.  I'm partial to the Model T delivery, that garage is too cool!

[Bucky]

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.

Nice builds. That Coke C-cab catches my eye. 

[Dragonhawk1066]

I never posted a build thread for the garage. Wasn't sure how much interest it would generate.

Thanks, Carl! That is KRYLON Gloss Khaki from a rattle can. I sprayed it over Duplicolor gray primer. It laid down fairly smoothly.

[ChrisR]

Very nice!

[ewetwo]

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

Thanks for the compliment!

AMT did a stock one in '66:

I have one in the stash.

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]

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]

Great stuff! I especially like the Cuda, and the Pontiac's not too shabby either. Well done and model on!
