Steve H Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hi all, hope everyone had a great Christmas, and I wish you all a safe and happy new year. Thanks for all the great sharing!! I had a bit of an “off” year, but I have several builds that I’m really looking forward to, so definitely ready for 2023. First up the 70.5 Camaro Dutch Boys tribute build.. next up, the Mystery Machine… then the parking lot diorama… and lastly, fresh off the bench, the ‘72 Blazer. Technically, this one isn’t quite finished yet, but I’m hoping you guys will cut me some slack. It’s really close, have a handful of details to add (gas cap, coil, exhaust, air filter…) and a few touch ups. I have a bunch of catching up to do with everyone’s ‘22 builds which I will do over the next few days. Cheers, Steve 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Bruce ! I really wanted a better photo background, and the parking lot works. Now I just need to take better photos!

Hi Roger!! Thank you sir, very much appreciated. As mentioned above, one of my favourite builds. I still have a soft spot for my 66 Olds “Ol Comino though… I think you might be interested in my next build, hoping to start a WIP soon. Cheers 11 hours ago, AMT68 said: Great looking builds and I remember the parking lot diorama. Serves as an excellent example of that type of work. Thanks Tom, as a first diorama I’m fairly pleased. It’s relatively simple, and it combines my model hoody, with my landscaping hobby. I thought the pavement turned out decent. 9 hours ago, Koellefornia Kid said: A great diorama, a cool van and a killer Camaro!

I’ve got some good projects brewing in my head for this year. I’ll get that Blazer finished up then back to some pro touring builds. I also have a replica build planned for this year that I’m really excited about. Take care and happy new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bill, it was fairly simple, I think the key is finding what product works for replicating asphalt (or concrete). Everyone’s eye is a little different… 33 minutes ago, slusher said: Great year I like your Diorama and builds ! Hello Carl! Always good to hear from you my friend. I’m hoping for a slightly more productive year this year, we’ll see how that goes. Thanks to all of you for taking the time to comment. I haven’t been on the forum much since spring, but I’m recharged and ready for 2023. We have a wonderful group of very talented builders here. I look forward to more learning and sharing, thank you all. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
