spencer1984 Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) This year I tried to finish off some "on hold" projects: partial builds, unboxed parts, and restorations: MotorMax Ford Crown Victoria, robbed for parts to another project and left unboxed; Safe Bburago Ferrari 275GTB, bought at a toy show with several parts missing/broken; C'était un rendez-vous AMT Peterbilt "California Hauler," started in 2020; Duel Lindberg Dodge 330, partial kit after using parts for other builds; 2021 "Cannonball Ruse" CBP entry; The Little Old Lady from Pasadena Muscle Machines Tree Shaker, broken in the box; Monster Garage Welly Lotus Elise, bought loose at a show and has been collecting dust since around 2008; Death Racers Revell Motorola Reynard, box/instructions/decals destroyed in a flood; Driven LEGO Model Team Highway Rig, one of my earliest custom projects from the late 80s but badly yellowed and dusty AMT Koach, started as part of a YouTube CBP in 2015; The Munsters MotorMax Ford Crown Victoria, in the planning stages since early 2000s but finally finished when the box got crushed; Animal Precinct Hasegawa Jeep Willy MB, had to swap out some parts after a mishap with another build last year; The Inglorious Bastards Maisto Corvette Z06, purchased for the pack-in truck but I got sick of tripping over it; Real Drift Modelhaus 1966 Impala, possibly my first purchase from Modelhaus and started immediately but put on hold when Revell announced their all-new '66; Mythbusters Revell '68 Charger, supposed to be 2020's Halloween build but I messed up the paint and it had to spend a while in the purple pond; House of Wax Danbury Mint Aston Martin DB5, started ~10 years ago as a pile of parts bought off eBay; Goldfinger MPC Coca-Cola Charger, built around an extra push bar I had; The Dukes of Hazzard Fujimi Ford GT40 and Ferrari 330P4, they were supposed to be done when the movie came out but got lost in the shuffle; Ford v Ferrari Revell Custom Cadillac Lowrider, probably the oldest of the lot here as it has been an on-and-off project for the last ~15 years; The Simpsons Edited January 1, 2022 by spencer1984 4
slusher Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Great looking builds and different verities. I like them..
TooOld Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Cool stuff , quite a variety of subjects too ! Like the Ferrari , would love to sea plastic kit of that one !
Koellefornia Kid Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Nice collection! I dig the TV/movie inspired builds, especially the "Duel"-hauler, though I'm not so much into trucks but it's one of my favourite movies and you did great job!
spencer1984 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Posted January 3, 2022 Thanks! I've only done a couple of trucks so far, but am going to have to try a few more.
1959scudetto Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Interesting variety, Bill - I already admired your JB DB5 in the die-cast section- did you use it's wheels for the Burago 275 GTB/4? Excellent other builds, especially the Ford vs Ferrari models - the P4 with P3 alloy wheels!

Yes, I needed a set to replace the broken wheels that were on the 275 GTB/4 when I bought it, and had several left over from the Aston Martin. So Bburago got Danbury Mint wheels, Danburry Mint got Tamiya wheels, and the Tamiya Jaguar will be getting a set of aftermarket steelies - everyone gets an upgrade! ? 1
happy grumpy Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Good looking builds.You had a productive year.I like the mythbusters chevy.
89AKurt Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Fun collection, I see a pattern. ? Really nice job on Duel Peterbilt. I have the 330 P4, someday......

It's a really nice kit, one of those that you can just about shake the box and it goes together. Getting the windshield to fit was the hardest part, and I think most of that was self-inflicted. 1
Dominik Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 really nice collection. well done! Bt that one: Revell Custom Cadillac Lowrider, probably the oldest of the lot here as it has been an on-and-off project for the last ~15 years; The Simpsons P E R F E C T!!! Love it
