Just checking to see if we have any "?" 1/24 ? ...... 1/25 ? Modelers out there ? Building during "Shutdown" ? Someone had posted building a 1968 Hemi Dart and got me to thinking ? I've been working on an old Monogram kit of 1969 A-12 Blue Super Bee ! ( I'm not good at posting photos ) Let us see / know what you're assembling ? ? ?

Just finished this one last week...
I've got a rebuild of a Little Red Express on the bench now.

Wrapped this one up in early March, before the world fell apart...

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) 1974 Challenger 360 2012 Challenger R/T 1991 Dakota 5.2

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!

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

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 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 demolitions in the military

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!
