My Models For 2021 (pic heavy) Part 3

[MrObsessive]

The following you guys have seen here just recently. First up is the Agora 1/8 Shelby Cobra that's probably my favorite of builds this year. This is one of the few instances where I saw a kit (partwork notwithstanding), and I IMMEDIATELY went to the site to order it. I give MANY THANKS to @Brudda for pointing this kit out. I had no idea this beast existed until he mentioned it, and I'm glad it's in my collection now. Here are some new pics I took just this morning. A little better IMO than the ones I took where the lighting to my eyes left a bit to be desired.

Take note how big this thing is compare to the 1/25 '74 Corvette I built several years ago!

This is where it'll sit in its case 99.9% of the time. Next to the '67 Shelby and kept covered from dust and cat hair.

Last but not least, is literally the last finished build I'll get done this year, and one I just posted very recently. I took some new pics on a different background, and I'd like to give a HUGE THANKS to @mrmoto who was very nice enough to make and send me the decals for the wheelcovers. He also made the burtex type mat that goes in the trunk, but I've yet to put that in. Thanks Manuel!

That's it fellas! Back on the table is the Shelby Green Hornet which I'll be updating here in the not too distant future. What else is new for '22? Well, after the Shelby, I'd like to build a "Sand Crab" dune buggy based on the old Lil' Van kit from Monogram, but with my own take on how it could be done as a "street legal" car. After that, I hope to have the 3D printed and cast in resin 1976 Olds Cutlass Supreme from Robert Burns which I'm going to turn into a full detailed model. No opening doors and such, but full engine and chassis detail.

Stay tuned!

Bill I always look forward to your year end build summary. Tremendous work as usual.

Beautiful pair!!

I kinda sorta like that Cobra. ?

Shelby Cobra turned out beautiful.

I really like that Vette in that awesome shade of green off to the side. Given that it's a '74 it would seem to have been a pretty rare find.

Tom, the '74 'Vette was a $20 rescue from eBay. I had most other year 'Vette's except that one so I felt sorry for it and snatched it as it had a BIN. I did run a thread on the board originally........if you go here, you'll see the resto pics of the work I had to do to whip it back into shape. ?

That was a great rescue and a great price Bill. I notice Ranger Tan Embossing powder was used and that is a color I have not been able to find for the last couple years.
