New Member a few of my completed builds

Hi, just stumbled across this site, and it looks great.
I thought I would post a few pics of complted builds I have done recently, I mainly build American classics but I am partial to the odd Jap kit now and again.
Any comments greatfully received.

looks great! I really like the old Chevy truck. where'd you find that pinto?

Nice work. The heavily weathered one ('69 Cuda?) is my favorite. Welcome aboard!

:1: If it wasn't the leaves in the background I'd swear I was looking at a 1:1.
Great job.

I like the last one the most, it looks like a real one from the backyard! :grinyes:

Wow, the rusted car is fantastic!

I agree with guys, you'll see the last one is a model just from wheels... fantastic stuff: welcome here.

Thanks for all the comments :wink:
The Ford Pinto was an old 1975 AMT kit that I built up, looks ok I think, kind of nice to build a stock normal car now and again.

The pickup is the Revell 65 Chevy kit, I have built several of these kits they go together really well and I'm pleased with the result on this one.

The Impala Fire Chief car is from a rare 1972 AMT kit that was issued alongside the La France fire engines, This was a challenge as the shell was very warped and it was hard to get it all lined up !.

And finally the MPC 69 Barracuda, hmmm well I lost the bonnet on this kit somehow?, so I decided to build the kit as If it was left out to rot for 20 years, looks ok doesn't it?, the heavy rust was made by using a Dremel and copious amounts of weathering powders and paint.

It sure is, very very convincing. Excelllent job you did on that. I especially like the fire chief car also, I wouldnt mind that on my shelf.

nice weathing

Quadzero funnily enough I have another complete unstarted Fire Chief kit in my stash, don't think I would build another so it could be surplus to requirements, might put it on Evilbay not sure yet.
