We own several Mustangs, so that could be accurate mostly.

Show pieces… all of them. 🤩

Beautiful work across the board, I especially like that Cougar!

[Falcon Ranchero]

Stunning detail on every one, your signature addition to your builds is the lights and it's way cool👍

Super nice group, well done!

[SpikeSchumacher]

All outstanding builds Don! The Cougar Eliminator is one of my favorites. You have inspired me to try lighting on my current car build. Have built several sci-fi based builds with lighting, but this will be my first attempt at lighting a car model.

Cheers,

Mathias

Thank You! Making the headlights open and close was especially tricky for the cougar.

Thank You! Other than every build having LEDs, I added poseable steering to the 67 Mustang Convertible and now my family is saying I have to add that to all future builds.

Thank You! Making the lights open and close on the corvette and Cougar were the most difficult part of lighting them.

Beautiful looking paint finishes, and the colors used. Like how you add lighting to your builds.

Just some Great looking builds for the year Donald.  I really like the 50 Chevy pickup.  

[David G.]

I remember following along on most of these as you built them Donald.

It's great seeing them all together in one post like this.

Fabulous builds, each one.

Thank you Zippi. Not that you’re biased to the 3100 right?
