Nitrozilla Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 My first project is to find my winter parka. The temperature dropped to a mind mumbing 38 degrees this morning. Here's my winter project list: Working on Charlie Allen car at the moment. Hope to be done by the end of the month. Next, I'm resurrecting an old build to use as a transporter for it. Ignore the Chi Town Hustler and the current carrier section. After that, I hope to get back on the QuarterMaster.
FASTBACK340 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Joe, that 8-wheeled Deora-based transporter is absolutely INSANE. More pictures please!
FASTBACK340 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Plans call for: Finishing my `70 `Cuda drop-top start the `68 Hemi under Glass start the `68 Baja and maybe a front engined rail…..* Naturally, I also hope to finish all those cars I plan on starting! * I may have to amend this build list to include a Gasser for next years NNL East theme. And boy do I have an original idea…….
afx Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 You guys build way faster than me. I hope I can finish one model this winter.

JTalmage Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) holy moley I just read thru the whole Deora build.... mind blown. Get back on that thing!!! Edited November 17, 2014 by JTalmage
JTalmage Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Oh, and if I build anything this winter it will be a miracle.
Nitrozilla Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 holy moley I just read thru the whole Deora build.... mind blown. Get back on that thing!!! That's the direction I'm heading in. Thanx. Oh, and if I build anything this winter it will be a miracle. Jesse, even though you're a Ford fan, don't let that depress you so much that it affects your building habits. MOPAR's are much easier to build. Kidding. I had to go there.

MOPAR's are much easier to build. Kidding. I had to go there. Thats quite OK! I actually have quite a few Mopar kits stashed away! I do have a secret love for Mopars. I just realized as a 17yr old kid (at the time) that Mopars were WAY out of my price range/cost of living/budget. And that Foxbody mustangs sounded soo much more enticing (cheaper!) Amongst my Fords I had a '74 Plymouth Scamp... Best lawn ornament I ever owned! LOL But alas.... the real 1:1 Fords will be taking up most of my time this winter. Rust repair on a '98 F150 (both rockers and cab corners... not my truck) Reassembling my '93 Lincoln Mark VIII (not so stock anymore ) Making my '88 Mustang street/strip car actually resemble a car instead of a pile of sheet metal on wheels Very little building will probably happen for me in the plastic world Edited November 17, 2014 by JTalmage
ChrisBcritter Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Oh boy. Just the stuff that I have all the pieces to finish or nearly so: '40 Ford pickup '65 Dodge Monaco '60 Chrysler Windsor '61 Pontiac Bonneville '62 Pontiac Catalina '62 Impala convertible (original) '61 Continental convertible '62 Continental sedan '64 Continental sedan '64 Chevy Malibu '61 Falcon (been 2/3 finished for 35 years...) '66 T-bird (A Craftsman, for Pete's sake. If I can't finish that...) Plus my uncle's '57 Fairlane 500 four-door sedan. Got the parts for the 406 conversion, plus I found a great set of sharp interior photos to match the upholstery patterns (way different from the 2-door hardtop) and door panels. When he comes for Thanksgiving I'll be picking his brain for more details...
Bruce Poage Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Hope to soon finish Chevy SSR in star spangled blue right out of the box. Next will be Studebaker AVANTI showroom original. '52 Ford sedan delivery Who knows after that.
Tonioseven Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 A couple Ferraris, some Mazdas, a '62 Bel Air, several Skylines, and at least 3 Monte Carlos. All are painted but one and most of them just need careful assembly.
Eshaver Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 I took this year off as movie prop and my being published three different times has had me on a small tour of colleges and medical office facilities sharing on subject completely un related to plastic models . I have several service stations I have wanted to do and the decision to delve deep headlong into another is daunting . What plastic kits I actually do construct must relate to what ever building I actually build . Who knows , I may decide to do a Sonic drive in .......................
Tom Geiger Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Joe, that 8-wheeled Deora-based transporter is absolutely INSANE. More pictures please! Agreed! I love odd Deora custom builds.
Tom Geiger Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Since we're talking about winter builds, I should mention my annual Christmas Holiday Amnesty Build. I've been doing this for better than 15 years and a bunch of guys from the udder board have joined in or at least cheered me on! The premise is that every year the US President grants Thanksgiving Amnesty to a turkey, giving him the gift of life. So I figured I would do the same for a long abandoned model car project, but over the Christmas holidays. I have had the week between Christmas and New Years off most years, so I'd find some promising project and finish it that week. I have a bunch of models that are at that 80% completion mark, that a week of concentration will get them out of a box and onto my shelf. And there are years that the project goes a bit longer, but it counts as long as I continue working until I'm finished. I'm not about to rush anything and make a mess. I do need to look at all the unfinished projects on the shelves over my work bench and decide what I want to do this season. Front runners are the Volare Messenger Car and the 1960 Plymouth stretch wagon. We will see...
Ramfins59 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 Hey Tom. I sort of did the same "amnesty" thing with the '54 Dodge and '51 Chevy Fleetline Custom models that I recently finished up, but I did them a little earlier than you do your amnesty build completions. I wanted to get those done before I started any other projects. It really feels great to have finally gotten both of them finished.
ZTony8 Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 The builds closest to done are a Nissan 300ZX,a 2015 Mustang(not so) quick builder,a '69 Coronet,an MPC snap '49 Mercury,and an AMT '25 T hot rod coupe.If I can finish those in reasonable time I can move on to doing a '40 Ford for a club challenge build,a Ramchargers Magnum wagon phantom Super Stocker,a box stock McLaren MP 4/5b rescue,a Moebius Hudson,a '65 Bonneville Street Machine, a Pro Street '67 GTO,another Calsonic liveried Nissan,and whatever else strikes a chord with me.I've only got about 1200 kits from which to choose.
PARTSMARTY Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 More kits than I can even mention. lot of started projects going at once. a few subject to change-lol 1>50 chevy pickup-Sherwood green-for "hot rod john" 2>a restore of a 67 t-bird for a friend-baby blue-white vinyl top for mark orr 3>fire truck street rod for a guy I used to work with-either candy apple red or apple red 4>just about to start formulating ideas for my 1/8 scale Harley sportster-color not decided yet 5>also about to start a resto of a 57 amt belair -a barn find that my brother built in the 60's - a few years before he was killed in nam too many more to list-lol
webestang Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I hope to finish my 32 Duce and then start on another Mustang.
Agent G Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Two maybe three different police cars, at least four tanks and supervise what ever else the grandson needs help with. G
Jantrix Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Well, I'll be starting my next Cannonball racer, a sleeper. Then catching up some more in progress builds.
robertw Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 If I can get some time, I'll be focusing on trying to complete these... If you ever get this Silhouette kit trailer finished I hope you'll share. I've had one of these things laying around for years and always wondered what I could do with it. You look like you've on an interesting path with it. rob
