From the 60's

[dpride]

I recently unpacked these old models I built about 1960. They survived pretty well. The rubber and chrome have seen better days.

You can see the influence of the show cars of that period in these two. I don't think I will start building anything this small again.

I think I left out some of the front suspension parts or they have been lost.

Very Cool, Love the Fiat.

Cool builds, and I wish I had some of my old builds from the 60's but I don't.

[randx0]

Cool , I really like this style of builds. I wish I could capture that feel of that era . Thanks for dusting them off and posting them up.

[Danno]

Great stuff! Right on the 60's money!

[slusher]

Sharp old builds, they did hold up really nice..

[peekay]

Wow, you were really going for it already way back then.

[PappyD340]

Yep, I would say they have survived extremely well, they still look fantastic!!

[DonW]

Wow! What scale are they? What kits are they built from? Thanks for showing them.

[Foxer]

Those are pretty cool from way back then. Interesting that you found decent sized wire instead of sewing thread to use!

[Nitro Neil]

VERY cool. Wicked pissa model.

[Jordan 191]

It's cool how inline they are with current trends.

[cobraman]

I agree, very cool. How nice to see these old builds.

[Sixties Sam]

Very cool builds! Those frames look like ones from the AMT parts pack. I had a couple of them. Nice work - glad you kept them all these years!

How cool is that to stumble onto, and in your own stash..... Both are very neat pieces of history, thanks for sharing Dave.

[Ramfins59]

Dave, those are really cool. Engine wiring, fuzzy upholstery and opening doors...... you were really an "advanced modeler" back in those good old days.

[Matt T.]

Wicked! Very nice vintage builds here, David. Well done.

Thanks for all the comments, finding these little guys brings back a flood of good memories that are generally just filed away.

I guess I was about 13 or 14 when these were built. It appears I liked the Chrysler Hemi and blue paint.

[mrknowetall]

Survivor Models! Can't beat that, and they all look great!

[Jordan 191]

I have gone back and looked at some models I built when I was 13-14, and in some ways I think I had superior technique back then. It doesn't make sense, but it's the sad truth.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Great looking models !! I see a lot of vintage Revell parts-pack content in both of those...very very nice period pieces, clean craftsmanship, and well-thought out and integrated modifications.

[the goon]

Very nice. They do fit in with todays styles.

Very nice! Love both of them! You kept them very well, too.

[ToyLvr]

Great time capsule!
