My builds for 2021 from Model T's to Corvettes

[RSchnell]

Here's some photos of my builds from 2021. Several are restorations of glue bombs, most are box stock. As you can see I don't stick to one genre! Kits from MPC, Revell, Hasegawa, Tamiya, AMT, IMC, Monogram & Moebius are shown. Sorry for the photo quality, my camera battery was dying as I did these.

Great work all around. I especially like the VW and the split window Vette.

Great variety of builds and styles, all done well.

Nice models.  They all look great.  What its the Delivery/Panel body in the 3rd pic that looks like it's a rootbeer color.  Looks like a really slick paint job.

Excellent 2021!  Nice variety, you may be an inspiration to others, myself included...  What kit is the black F150, is that the Firestone kit?   I want that one!  Looks great with those wheels....

Thanks! The black Ford is the Moebius '71 Ford Ranger XLT. Those are the wheels that came in the kit, I just painted the spokes dark grey to match the truck better.

Beautiful collection of builds there, love the pre war stuff.

That's the old Monogram '37 Ford Street Rod kit. I sprayed it with some Model Master Enamel that I picked up on clearance at Hobby Lobby. I haven't cut & buffed it yet, I usually spray 2-3 bodies and let them cure for a couple weeks before color sanding.

Nice group of builds!

The Lincoln is the stand-out for me but even though I am a hot rodder, I can really appreciate all those showroom stock Fords!

Cheers

[happy grumpy]

a beautiful collection, you've been busy. 

[BeakDoc]

Outstanding work on all of our them. You managed to cover nearly the entire spectrum this year. Quite impressive.

I agree on the Lincoln.  That's a great model, though personally,  I didn't see anything I did not like. Your output for 2021 is more than I've built in the last 10 years!

I don't have much time to sit down & work at the bench-usually 5-7 hours a week, so I've worked out an assembly line of sorts. Usually have 3 or 4 builds going-while paint is drying on one, I'll jump on one I painted the night before. Prewar stuff is my favorite and I've worked on 1:1 prewar cars for 40+ years so things go together pretty quick for me on those!

Great group of builds!  Congrats on a productive 2021.

I have ask...what do you have for prewar cars. Here's one of mine.

Nice output for the year. I am liking all the pick ups.

Nice Caddy! I'm down to a couple of Model A's but have had an eclectic group in the past. '32 Plymouth, '27 Whippet, Model T's, etc. I also owned a small resto shop restoring pre 1965 cars.  I'm still halfway looking for a 1931-32 Lincoln 7 passenger sedan if one showed up for the right price.

Awesome you completed so many!  I like the German cars, the 300SLR is a historic car, is it a decent kit?

It's a really nice kit, the only problem I had is the engine sits up a tad too high which doesn't let the hood close all that way- of course I discovered this too late! This is the kit. Revell reboxed this one later on, mine was the 90s Monogram boxing.
