'007 Hit List


Recommended Posts

OK I've seen a lot of your '06 handywork, Whatcha gonna do in '007? What do you have in mind, what would you like to do. The years are going by faster and the stuff on our shelves are getting older (as are our eyes and fingers). We're all friends here, what secret project are you going to drop on the show scene this year?!? :wink: I'll share to start.

Rear engine digger, 50's style, 4cyl

'30 Ford sedan hot rod, GMC 6 cyl

'62 Dart Max Wedge(Ugly is Beautiful)

Who's next?

Well lessee..........

1) Finish up my '05 Corvette sometime this month..

2) '63 Chrysler Turbine Car moderately detailed......

3) '06 Dodge Magnum with different tires and scratchbuilt hinges for the tailgate....

4) Get back to my '55 Ford so it stops screaming at me to finish it. :)

Of course like anything this is all tentative, as something really cool carwise can catch your eye and toss everything aside! :)

All the following are projects that only need finishing, (yeah ONLY):

1) '72 Mach I

2) '39 Ford flatbed with a Midget racer on the bed

3) '31 Ford sedan as a chopped n'sectioned 60's rod

4) Step on my '55 Ford so I DON'T need to finish it.

Plans for 007...

Finish the Camaro and 32 on the bench right now...

I'm sure this will most likely change, but as of now, it seems this could be my first "car-less" year since 1992!!!! But this will always be my online home :wink:

Revell chopper bike

Jet airliner

Prop airliner

3 helicopters

a 1/35 armor model

Then again, this can change anytime and many times :)

Can I respond even though I have yet to post my "Class of 2006"? A good question that can cause a modeler to focus, at least a little bit, as they approach the new year. Well here's mine: 1. Revell '32 Duece Roadster (in-progress), 2. MPC Jim Hurtibese Chevelle Stock Car, 3. 69 Daytona Charger, and 4. The Travolta Firebird. Four seems a good number given I got three done this year.
