Volvoman Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hi there folks, my name is Mark and I am all new to this forum. I have been dropping by from time to time but have now decided to join you all and show you some of my stuff. I thought I would start the ball rolling with one of my recent builds, my Pontiac Ventura. This was offered to me by a friend who had acquired it by a kit collection he had bought but he couldnt sell it on because it had missing parts so he offered it to me for spares. It turns out that the missing parts were a set of tyres which I had plenty of in my spares box so I set about putting it together. Being an old MPC kit, it did fight me a little bit but I was quite pleased with the end result. The paint is Tamiya TS 60 pearl green metallic which is a very close colour to another Ventura that I found pictures of whilst looking for reference material. Hopefully these pictures are ok and all questions and comments are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I like it! That MPC roofline looks so much better to my eyes than the AMT Novas of the same body type. That's a real pleasing car to look at, it's easy on the eyes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
