Bernard Kron Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Great showroom stock builds and super selection of subjects. Thanx! And Happy New Year!
72 Charger Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Wow Steven Im just stunned at the quality of your builds even if they are JUST curbside . Do you think that you could do a pic of all of them together?

echo Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 These builds are beautiful. I like that you do up tops with the convertibles, it adds a lot to the model. Wish all the convertible kits came with them. Keep up the good work.
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks Guys! I always like to build my convertibles with up tops if possible Ed. For one, I really like the look. And second, it helps hide the "less than stellar" detailing on the interior of these old annual kits! Steve
Danno Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Gawd. Stunning! All of them. But, hands down, my favorite is the '58 Buick! Great models.

I love that old Buick too. That's why it's the first photo! I picked it up on ebay as a restorable built up. Wish I would have taken a few before pics. Steve

Wish I would have taken a few before pics. Steve The AMT '58 Buick Convertible annual kit was the second car model I ever built. Bought right off the Rexall Drug store's shelf when first released (I'll let you guess what year that was! LOL). No BMF back then, and as a grade-school-age model builder, I wasn't yet into things like paint and trim anyway. I was into ~ guess what ~ gluing as many of the custom parts (louvers, fins, scoops, fender skirts, spotlights, mirrors, antennas, and continental kits) onto those revolutionary one-piece styrene bodies as possible. Love it!

Love it! Oh.... You were one of those kids huh? Well, this wasn't one of your old kits then, it was in pretty nice shape. I made the connie kit for it though. Mostly to cover up the horrendous sink marks in the trunk lid. by the time I had them repaired, the "Roadmaster" script on the trunk lid was not able to be restored. So I decided an "after market" continental kit was in order. Steve
