AMT68 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Well those are all interesting and beautifully done models. Now.... I suppose that Missing Link '73 Chevelle isn't currently available but that would be something of a crown jewel in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if Kevin is still taking requests for them or not. He was selling them through e-mail, with names going on a waiting list and him contacting buyers as their place in line came up. Mine became available in late September, after joining the list in September 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 You've been busy! Great variety, all a movie theme is interesting. I like 2001 Space Odyssey, wood be a good slump buster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 That Renault is 1/24? I'll definitely have to grab one. ICM's Model Ts are beautiful. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, and they are. I added the windshield and solid roof, but otherwise it's built straight out of the box. No problems with flash, fit, parting seams, etc. I'm still trying to talk myself into getting their Benz Patent-Motorwagen, and this got me that much more convinced.

I have to start building my Ts, but I was absolutely floored at the quality of the moulding. When I was working in a hobby shop, the military guys LOVED ICM kits. Uniform excellence. I wish they'd start doing those 1/35 Packards in 1/24 (or even better, 1/25). I'd buy one of those without a second thought. I'd also like to see them start doing more cars, period.

David G. Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Wow, such a variety and all of them very well done. To my eye, the one that truly stands out from the rest is the Fiat 500. You did a great job with the weathering and damage. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Cool builds! I am a sucker for that Chevelle! Need to get my TA inspired Chevelle done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I love to see dedicated collections no matter what the theme is. This really is an amazing body of work for one year's production They are all sharp as, but the little white Cobra is soooo purdy!

doorsovdoon Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Lots of different and interesting builds there! My favourite has to be the Fiat from Lupin III, and the Galaxie from MIB3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer1984 Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Thanks! The Fiat was quite a learning experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Dude, this is an impressive and expansive array of pop culture builds. You are the IMCDB of modellers. Particularly loving the Galaxie, and Cobra, with its whitewalls and deeeeeeep wires. I've heard good things about that black 3.0 stuff; it barely registers any light at all.

The video tutorials that are available were very helpful, if only to find out how this stuff likes to be prepped for different surfaces. I've got about four thin coats on this, and while I like it I may add a couple more - it does seem to get blacker with each successive coat.
