• Snow Bunny *PICS*
• Got mine a couple days ago! *NM*
• Hey guys, here is my latest build, MPC's '71 Dodge Demon, done slightly differently.
  • Cool! *NM*
  • Nice! *NM*
  • Very nice! That engine looks great in there. *NM*
  • Great build! That wasn't the engine I was expecting to see, it's better! *NM*
• Is the Revell 1970 Charger based on the 67-69 Mopars, ie frame,suspension etc, that they have done or is it an ex Monogram tool ? *NM*
  • It's similar to their '68/'69 Charger. Both are 1/25 scale, unrelated to any of the older Monogram stuff *NM*
    • Duh!.....you'd think that would have answered my question if I'd noticed the scale...lol......thanks. *NM*
• Off the bench......PICS......
  • Hittin' 'em outta the park, Dave. I like what you did with the wheels. *NM*
  • Great looking Mopar! *NM*
  • SWEET RoodRunner, David!!! *NM*
  • Very clean workmanship *NM*
  • David that's a cool looking Roadrunner! *NM*
  • Nice one!!! Love the color and the equipment. Also, the aftermarket parts you added were perfect to enhance an already nice (but basic) kit! *NM*
  • NIce build Dave! Joseph's wheels look awesome on there! *NM*
  • Great job, David! I like it! It's a good, clean build of a cool car. *NM*
• Getting 'em done! Another stalled project, 1966 Buick Wildcat custom (PICS)
  • I like the repaint a whole lot. Hugger Orange was too bright for a big car like that, the darker shade pops but has a bit o' class. *NM*
  • Very nice! But I think it will need pinstripes or something in that gunmetal color. Just enough to break up that orange a bit. My two cents. *NM*
  • The Firey Orange looks great for a mild custom. *NM*
• Seeing Steve-o's post of '55 Cameo plus 2 wheeler reminded me of a future project I may tackle using body parts from a '55 Chevy...PICS INSIDE....
  • I can dig it! *NM*
  • That just makes me smile! *NM*
  • Now that's the Cadillac of tractors! *NM*
• According to this article, the Corvette America was outsourced to a coachbuilder. GM didn't build any itself. *LINK*
• Trainspotting... *PIC*
  • I missed it this year (knees are bothering me too much), but got to see it twice back in 2018.... Once during the day in Byron (IL) and then in the early evening, in Clinton (IA), a few days later... *NM* *PIC*
    • More inpressive after dark; nice pic! Funny, I guess the acquisition of KC left no money in the budget for paint to touch up the railings:) *NM*
• Some may love it, some my hate it. Here's my rendition of a 1955 Chevrolet Cameo and it's little brother. *NM* *PIC*
  • cool ! *NM*
  • What's not to like! *NM*
  • NEAT!! *NM*
  • LOVE IT !!! *NM*
  • Excellant *NM*
  • Well done! *NM*
  • Sha-zam! Assume the wheels are 3D? *NM*
    • Yep. The wheels, tires, frame inner bed, engine, inner fenders, suspension, shifter, radiator, grille and likely a few other parts. Oh and the whole little bike are all printed *NM*
  • I can guarantee you, the COOL kids are gonna LOVE it!!!! (No others need apply) 😎 *NM*
  • Sweet. *NM*
  • Not technically my thing, but it's flawless, well-executed, and just plain fun! Bravo! *NM*
  • Wow, that looks excellent! Who could hate it? I love it!! *NM*
  • That paint job, WOW! Wish I could get a finish halfway as nice as that. *NM*
  • Very nice Steve! *NM*
• I gotta build one of these....... *LINK*
  • That is cool! *NM*
  • Wow! That is neat. You could really let your imagination go wild while building something like this. *NM*
  • Oddly enough, there's a kit that's pretty similar. *PICS*
    • I'm sure it's a gravity anti-gravity system kinda like Mag-Lev......
      • Nothing compares with IMAGINATION!! *NM*
    • I think fans of Steam Punk often don't understand how steam power actually works, and I think the term itself might be misused sometimes.. *NM*
    • Terry, here in hot, humid Oz we've cockroaches that look like that.....lol. *NM*
    • That's a really interesting model you built. Entirely box stock? From what kit manufacturer? *NM*
      • Did a quick search, found that it's a resin kit that is long out of production. The site I found it on looks like they're using your build. I'll email you the link so you can check it out yourself. *NM*
  • Strange and entertaining. *NM*
  • So wicked!!! *NM*
• Back in the day that was also the stock style seering wheel in mother's 1:1 four door hardtop '62 Olds 98. *PIC*
• rdean58, the blue interior is killer--been lookin' for that color forever--paint source, please, PLEASE!? *NM*
  • Sure looks like Nassau Blue to me... *NM*
    • Yes, it is Testors Nassau blue metallic auto lacquer system. One of the discontinued colors from Testors. I have found it in a certain big chain store recently (last year) though. *NM*
• Re: That was a joke, son, I say, a joke. 😁 *PIC*
• Danno..........so are you a Foghorn Leghorn or Rhode Island Red......lol. *NM*
• Here in Oz when 2dr cars were not the norm & 4drs much more common I don't mind the 4dr Cuda, the side profile seems o/k tho' the rear pillar in a 3/4 front pic looks too thin, my oz 1.5 cents worth = 2 US cents worth. *NM*
• Sloooow day! *NM*
  • Iiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssss iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttt????????????.............llllllllllllooooooooollllllllllll.............. *NM*
• She came out really Kool, Marty. Nice concept, great build! *NM*
• I agree Steve. Too many ‘customs’ at shows have no bodywork so not a custom in my view. *NM*
  • I love a nice mild custom as well as the radical stuff like my Thunderbird.... A simple nosing and decking, along with shaving the emblems can go a long way to in improving a cars appearance.... *PIC*
    • Man, that Merc is so sweet, IMHO a perfect mild custom. *NM*
    • I agree Marty, I tend to do a lot of models like that too. ,, and you're Merc looked great. What I was refering to was the ones that still had all the stock trim, maybe even stock paint and just a set of mags. I don't consider that a "custom". *NM*
• I always liked seeing Jarius Watson's ideas/art. I wonder if he'd like to do a couple more sketch pads. *NM*
• They used '71-up B-body doors on that, which were visually too tall, IMHO. I think if they could have done it as a hardtop it would have been more pleasing in profile. *NM*
• "A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process." So maybe yes, maybe no? What you would call it probably depends upon the circumstances.
