Coyote_6 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 (edited) The "forbidden builds" in 1/25, The General and The Bandit. A Hailie Deegan F150 repaint in 1/64 diecast... And an.... aircraft carrier?? USS Yorktown in 1/700 scale. Edited January 3 by Coyote_6 6
STU111 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 The car builds are sweet as. But, I have to ask about the aircraft carrier, the Wildcat and Dauntless planes on the deck, at 1/700, they must have been tiny. I take my hat off to you, working on stuff that small would have done my head in!😂 Well done. 👍🏻 1
Zippi Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Great looking Diecast models Steve. I'm diggin the Ford F-150. 1
slusher Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I like the Bandit and General Lee, nice variety of builds! 1
Coyote_6 Posted January 3 Author Posted January 3 @Zippi Thanks! The F150 looks good in person but being 1/64 scale the decals look a little pixelated from the printer 😪. The other three were plastic builds. Slow year but fun - I have more in work on the bench than I finished. Ugh. 🤣
espo Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Beautiful looking paint finishes. The Aircraft Carrier looks great as well. 1
Falcon Ranchero Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Love the general lee and the Smokey firebird, I too built the general lee as well as daisy’s jeep 1

But my secret weapon is the optivisor, 2.5x magnification. If it looks good under the optivisor it should look good to just about anyone.

Again, well done on your 2024 builds. 👍🏻 1
mustang1989 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 I do love me a good General Lee and Bandit build for sure and those turned out pretty frickin' snazzy Stuart. What I really had my eye on was the carrier with all of the planes on deck in 1/700 scale. LOTS of patience in getting all of those planes done as well as the details on the ship itself. Which kit is that anyways? 1
Coyote_6 Posted January 6 Author Posted January 6 (edited) @mustang1989 It is the Tamiya Waterline Yorktown in 1/700 scale (Tamiya kit 31712). The planes are two boxes of Flyhawk FH1164. Below the Tamiya kit Wildcat on the left, Flyhawk on the right. A lot of work but worth it (Tamiya 1 piece, Flyhawk is 4 pieces). Steve Edited January 6 by Coyote_6
XYHARRY Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Well done Steve, they all look great. Cheers, David. 😎👍 1
