Somtimes I just want to build something that is simple yet unique....

That's when I start lookin' at my stash of promos.

Promo models from the 80s and 90s (even a few from the mid and late 70s)

are cheap and plentiful and can be a real hoot to play around with!

Here's a couple of examples.....

I started with this.....

And wound up with this.....

taurus-7.jpg

This '88 Taurus was inspired by a co-worker's son's everyday high school cruiser...

taurus-8.jpg

It was lowered and wears a set of 20" wheels by Hoppin' Hydros...

Paint is Duplicolor automotive touch up lacquer.

Here's another..... I started with this.....

storm-1.jpg

And this is the final result.......

storm002.jpg

storm003.jpg

Once again, this Geo Stormwas lowered... Wheels, tires and rotors are from some forgotten source....

Revells' PT Cruiser perhaps? Paint is Tamiya Candy Lime Green over Tamiya Gold Leaf.

I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I sure have fun building stuff like this! :)

Very nice work!! I would have just tossed them both, but you made them both into really nice looking models!!

Maybe I'll have to take a second look the next time someone gives me something like what you started with!!
