Just finished this one last week...

I've got a rebuild of a Little Red Express on the bench now.

Here's the last one I finished. It's a Salvinos JR Donnie Allison Monte Carlo. I have tons of kits I need to get busy working on.

1968 Charger project. I don't have a fender tag or a buildsheet, so it's getting a 440. Help me decide on a color--most everything looks great! (NOT white. My Challenger is white. Need some variety :D)

I’ve got a 1/24 scale ‘70 cuda 340 convertible project in mind. The 2 kits I’m using have been on my shelf for ages. Went and bought some paint and such before they locked things down here last month.
Found a guy online selling hockey stick stripe decals I need to order a sheet.
Seeing how I theoretically have lots of free time now that I’m working from home and can’t go out much weekends, not sure why I haven’t got rolling on this yet! shruggy

I think I have 5 or 6 unbuild Mopar models in a box in the basement. I've been pretty busy with redoing my full scale 48 Plymouth coupe, there isn't much time to do a model. Those small model parts are harder for my abused hands to deal with, so that takes away from the fun they used to be.
I do like to see the great work others are doing though. Gene

Nice work, you guys !
I must have 30 kits to build - many 1/25th cars that I owned in 1/1 - but I've still not found the time.
I've tried a couple times to have a model built of my racecar (see sig pic) but nobody wants to.
Both guys do a lot of really good racecar models, so maybe it's me shruggy

Now that the weather's nice, I've been bustin' out the car, home, & shop projects that require decent temps & sun.

iagree I'm far better building the real stuff.. on the models I used to much glue.. now
I use a welder and a paint gun
EDIT
If they didnt turn out the way I wanted I blew them up with fire crackers.. I think thats what got me into

I have about 15 1/25 put away to do at some point...

Actually built an area to work on them in the basement of the garage...

If you want to really get aggravated I started modifying and customizing the 1/64th last year...

The details on some are too fine to even attempt...

A couple more of the 1st ones I did...

Like anything else I found better ways as I progressed...

These are before and afters of the same cars...

They're a little primitive but they were made to be like friends of mines actual cars...

I built these in the early 80's - back when life was more simple. The Challenger is an original MPC kit from 1970, RR is a JoHan kit. I had the PCP mixed & put into a spray can. RR paint was standard automotive spray touch-up - back when there were still some green cars around!

I built these several years ago recuperating, took time this evening to take pics. I have several other unbuilt, probably should sell the old ones and will build up some of the mopars I have, inc one resin body I have no experience with in the past.
