curt raitz Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 When the guyz at NNL West announced the themes for next year, the "ought" years 1910, 1920, 1930, etc. plus "racecars". I dug around in my stash and found this: This is a very, very nice kit. Did not encounter any problems during the build. Basically a straight outta-da-box build with a little detail work in engine compartment. again, thanx for lookin'....
randx0 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Curt you are an excellent modeller I enjoy your style !
MrObsessive Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Flawless job Curt!! So nice and clean! I have this kit but for some reason, I haven't given it much of a look in recent years..............hmmm..........
george 53 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Man that came out nice,Curt! I 'specially like the engine compartment. Shows what a NICE job can be done with this kit,when you take the time. Yours came out GREAT! Color's really right too!
diymirage Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 that is a very nice and INHO underrepresented model good job on it
my name is nobody Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 terrific job on a very nice kit. these were under appreciated kits, but for that I'm thankful. I stocked up. They also make for a fun driver..........................
caine440 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Very nice. A underrated muscle car, I always had respect for them.
kingiguana Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Sweet lookin' build ! What color/paint did You use? I had that kit, and sold it, gotta get anohter one someday, I've always loved torinos.
Custom Hearse Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Nice build! I used to own a '71 G.T. Torino. I have one question.... Did that taillight come with that kit? I wanted to build a copy of the Torino I used to own, and bought a Revell Muscle Series '70 Torino Cobra, but it has the split taillights, where as mine had the full width taillight like yours. Your Torino looks great!
Raul_Perez Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Very nice build, my old friend!! Where do you get the time to build so many models?! Also, thanks for the info on nect year's theme. Later,
Bernard Kron Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Very, very nice. Since I am genetically programmed to be unable to leave any kit unmolested, factory stock builds like this leave me gobsmacked and envious! Replica builds not only require great technique, they demand a level of discipline that totally escapes me. Beautiful model, Curt.
curt raitz Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 Where do you get the time to build so many models?! Since the girls have grown, got boyfriends and all; momma's got her own thing goin' and she like's the fact I'm in the garage playin' with plastic...I have been afforded the luxury of time to build. Plus, I build faster than I really should anyhow, does lend itself to making mistakes...but what the heck that's me.
crispy Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Great Job Curt. Turned out beautifully. No surprise there. Look forward to your next gem. Chris
curt raitz Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 Very, very nice. Since I am genetically programmed to be unable to leave any kit unmolested, factory stock builds like this leave me gobsmacked and envious! Replica builds not only require great technique, they demand a level of discipline that totally escapes me. Beautiful model, Curt. Thanx Bernard when building factory stock, you are free from having to be creative and attacking the plastic with the ol'dremel tool, but you have to build'em clean. I'm gettin' better, still a long way to go...
Randy Kern Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Curt, that turned out beautiful, as usual. I was thinking the same as Raul, about the time to build all those great looking models! Oh well... come on, retirement! .
Raul_Perez Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Curt, that turned out beautiful, as usual. I was thinking the same as Raul, about the time to build all those great looking models! Oh well... come on, retirement! . But he's not retired!! He still works a full time job!! Let's see...my kids are also grown and out of the house, mama works, spends a lot of time with her mom and like's the fact I'm in the playing with plastic...but I still can't build anywhere near your pace. I'm going to have to take a trip down to Hollister and see how you really do it...I think you've got elves helping you. Later, Edited August 5, 2009 by Raul_Perez
ajulia Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 I'm going to have to take a trip down to Hollister and see how you really do it...I think you've got elves helping you. LOL to funny Raul! Mr.P'.. Hit after hit I began to think the same from the f-1 racers to the vintage ones.... but then ya gotta love dedication;passion and ambition. Curt top notch build-up here fella and as always amigo keep on wit the keepin on!! paz Tito
