Hey guys, it's been about 2yrs since I've posted on here and built a model.. I haven't left the hobby, but had a lot of things going on that kept me from building models... Mainly my 1:1 car I'm building (1970 340 Swinger) I've still been collecting kits over the past two years and finally decided to start building one up. I have been working on this one for about two weeks and it's almost complete. It went togather pretty good. It had a few little issues but nothing major. I figured I'd post in here and say hi! And show what I've been working on.

It's box stock with some extra wiring, BMF, flocking and seatbelts.

It's automotive base clear (custom mixed colour)

Beautiful color anf finish! Why the tape?

Joe.

I think he's gluing the front splitter to the bumper.

Great model and glad to see you back at it!

Thanks guys for the comments! The tape is holding the subframe to the body while the glue dries. My subframe was slightly warped in this kit, so it didn't want to fit tight against the body.

Randy your work and detailing is very clean and neat... I remember your past work that you shared with us on here.. especially the Charger ( I think it was ). I'm glad to see you back at the bench.... keep up the great work !!!

Thanks guys! It's pretty much complete now.. Just have to black wash the hood vents.

Hey Tyrone, yes I built a 69 tribute charger a while back!

That Z28 is gorgeous! Nice choice on the colors and a very well executed build. When I see a model that looks like a person could just get in and start it up then I know the builder hit the sweet spot. Your Z28 is like that...
