radiohd10 Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 I took an extended break this summer, so it wasn’t the most prolific year, but I am enjoying the slower build pace quite a bit - 4 to 6 cars per year definitely scratches my model itch, while also allowing me to see some sunlight ? I nearly snuck in a fifth build, but still have a bit of work to do. Hope to have it done and photographed in the next couple of weeks. Happy 2024 everybody! On to the cars… Monogram Packard Boattail Speedster AMT ‘66 mustang Aoshima ‘68 MGB AMT ‘60 Starliner In the shop…Revell ‘62 Corvette 7

If so, did you change the chassis? I noticed the inner fenders in the engine bay didn't look like the ones from the amt kit. It looks way more real with the inner fenders you have on it. great build!! Edited January 3, 2024 by Musclecarbuilder
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 Very nice work on a variety of subjects.... -RRR
70 Sting Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 Man, you do beautiful work! Top notch photography as well. ?
Duddly01 Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 Beautiful work! Glad to see I am not the only one kit bashing the 1967 AMT kit to make their 66 AMT mustang builds so much better!

I also used the 67 engine. It's still not totally accurate but its way closer than it would have been out of the box 2 hours ago, Rocking Rodney Rat said: Very nice work on a variety of subjects.... -RRR 1 hour ago, Zippi said: Great builds for 2023.

ismaelg Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 Very Nice. That Packard is the definition of classic beauty! The MGB is gorgeous as well.
bbowser Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 Beauties all but that Packard steals my vote! The Starliner a very close second. Well done!
Musclecarbuilder Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 Cool! I thought that the inner fenders looked different, I think I might build that kit now. Yours looks KILLER!
AMT68 Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 All top notch builds. That '66 Mustang is just amazing.
JollySipper Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 These are all really super good builds! I always enjoy the treat of seeing your work.......... The Packard has me wanting to build a classic now!
Yeah Nah Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 Beautiful jobs, all of them. The Packard and Starliner really stand out.
Rattlecan Dan Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 Goes without saying, they are all beautifully done. Hope you have a Happy New Year!
