This one was a real bear to build;A Contrail Vac-form Handley-Page HP-42 in 1/72 scale.

[Dr. Cranky]

Wonderful models, lots of interesting subjects.

[caine440]

This one as of now.

[Raul_Perez]

It's pretty tough to pick a favorite...I like many of them for different reasons...

But, this would have to be number one:

It's the '57 Chevy pickup that I built with several Vette influences.

[ValvEasy]

It WAS a Tamiya Calsonic Skyline R33, but my boy smashed it. I guess that's why I stole his Suburban.

[Terry Sumner]

I think this is my favorite model car.....

[Jon Cole]

I guess the one I am the most proud of would be my Edsel / MIR spoof

[bbowser]

The next one!

LOL! Me too, the eternal optimist. This one took 1st in category in the one and only show I ever entered several years ago.

This one is my favorite, took a concept to conclusion and actually scratchbuilt some parts!

[Terry Jessee]

This one is always a big hit!

Holy cow! That's beautiful! (Too shiny for anything but a museum piece, but gorgeous.)

Do you suppose you could post some photos of the '59 Stingray? I've wanted one of those since they were new, but was too late. They kind of folded just as I was trying to order one.

Yes Terry it is not correct(the real Devastators were dull silver)but it really garners attention!.

I'll try and load all those that I mentioned later this week.

Great stuff popping up here,the Gravel crusher is so different it's cool.

[groo12]

working on it

in the mean time

Possibly a stupid question, why are the wheels on an angle? (I may have mentioned before I'm not mechanically minded, with cars at least)

[mcandela]

Well, I have a couple,

69 GTO.

Another GTO.

Tom Daniels Vette. (70's original kit)

It's a newer fashion trend with the negative camber

It's not a stupid question. In the real world, one week of regular driving would trash those tires.

I have built several of these Revell Nascar models but for some reason, this is the one I adore the most. It was just a simple out of the box build but it just seemed to fall together. Cannot say that for a bunch of my others, LOL! Neat topic!

I have several, mostly rescued Glue Bombs. The first is my Phantom 1967 Corvair Yenko Stinger convertible (All Stinger convertibles were '66 models. There's some discussion as to the actual number - somewhere between 5 and 10. The 1966 Stingers were white with blue stripes, while most 67's were blue with white stripes.)

This one was a '66 annual that was a real mess when I first got it. I thought that it looked sort of like those old, used-up cars that you occasionally see some optimistic guy trying to sell in his front yard. Light bulb time! I decided to actually "Restore" it to that appearance. It turned out to have a nearly perfect body, but I was so psyched about the idea that I trashed the body for the build, perforating the body with rust as well as various other damage. This model was an absolute BLAST to build!

And after being transformed into a replica of my first 1:1 Corvair, a Monza Sport Coupe:

AMT's 1970 Camaro annual. I got this one partially assembled and badly painted:

Has to be a couple of my recent builds, a resin Jimmy Flintstone 1932 B400 body combined with a Revell '32. Took some work to massage the body/interior and I wish I could have this as a 1:1. And then my modified '31 Sedan, also on a '32 chassis.
