Anyone else build models?

[BJoe]

Got a freebee Revell '57 Chevy Snapper out of the scratch and dent stuff at work, some bodywork required :p






The roof does appear to be straightening out now that the A-Pillars and Vent Window Frames are gone

I was hoping there was a thread somewhere on RCC about model building. I recently just got interested in model building again. Haven't built one since I was a teen.

This 78 Ford was built specifically for my trail trekker chassis..



Here is a 32 Ford that is almost complete..



This is my latest jeep model that is being built around the idea of the Jeep-rod from the Roadkill show.

Score with the free model. Too bad someone started a chop top . Lol
How nice and shiny is the new snap kits body plastic ?
My oldest built a couple,I could not believe how nice it was.

I just brought these two home tonight...........that huge scratch and dent pallet purchase (10 of them ), almost all styrenefrom Great Planes my bosses made is going to be the ruin of me.........I still have 2 Viper ACR kits, a '68 Bullett Mustang kit, and '59 Impala 2n1 waiting to be bought, a '78 T/A out in the XJ, a '58 T-Bird up stairs, plus the above freebee '57 Chevy.


I also have 2 GM NASCAR kits as well as a IMSA Mustang kit to use for possible track day car rebody projects out in the XJ. Still need to find a '69 Charger Daytona from Revell and just need to break down and buy the Tamiya Jagermeister Porsche 911 kit we've had on the shelf for a while to steal the rolling stock and wing from (possibly even cut the flared fenders off too) for the above '78 T/A..........might be a good seat donor too.

1/12 '57, and 1/24 delivery truck built for my G scale railroad, and ya I know I left some of the details off, like the mirrors, and grab handles, but unfortunately, small items like that have a tendency to get beaten by the weather and fall off anyways.

alabamaman asked if I would post a picture of a hemi he's been working on.

[alabamaman]

I have always thought the people who wire model car motors ,with proper firing order , are kinda a little over the top.
But I might do it on this one.

The alt. is stock chrome , the rest of it was sprayed with window tint to make it look more like real chrome.
Any feed back would be welcome.
