I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

Here's another one. This one has a significant bit of work done, but still quite a ways to go too.

...and again. I've only sprayed the base color on the body so far. This is the old 1/32 1966 Mustang.

I bought this one second hard, thinking it was unstarted. WRONG ! I've stripped it back and started again. Anyways it will be finished in a different livery, with decals from Patto's for a car that raced at Spa in 1971. It just had a gloss coat of Future over the body and decals. Photos to follow, it's a bit wet right now.

and lastly, this one is started,  but not too far gone. Progress pics to follow. It's my first resin car kit.

ok...I'm game.

Here's my list:

• Revell Cadillac Escalade - Zombie-proofed SUV
• Revell `77 GMC wrecker - Popo tow
• Revell `77 GMC pickup - FD brush truck
• AMT/ERTL 1996 Dodge Ram Dually

Welcome abourd Greg. Awesome work, that's 9 models on the roster already. I hope you enjoy the GB.

Cheers

Tony

Here's the latest progress on the Jaguar XJR-9LM. The tyre sidewalls are glossed and ready for the stencils to be applied.

Cheers

Tony

Here's the current status of the Alfa GTAm 2000. I've used Future for the gloss coat, which I don't usually do on cars, as Patto's decal instructions advise that it is the only compatible gloss coat for those decals. I'll give it a few days before I polish it out.

Cheers

Tony

Here's the current status of the Ferrari F186. I've made the seat cover furry like the real thing, but the kit seat belts are stiff stainless steel and I'm unable to make them realistic. I like the way the wheels have come out.

Cheers

Tony

I just started building a 53' Triaxle Van Trailer for Carlisle Transport (Ice Road Truckers), it's made of 2 AMT's 40' trailers. I have Lisa Kelly's W-900 Kenworth, and It's about half done, but I need some after market parts to update the Kenworth, but I can't afford that right now. So just put me down for the trailer, and if I can get the parts I need for the Kenworth, I'll do that too. A semi trailer can stand alone as you see them sitting in trucking yards all the time

I also recently got AMT's 2011 Camaro, (I'm calling it a 2012) so

My list is; both in 1/25 scale

Carlisle's 53' triaxle Van trailer

2012 Camaro Convertible

Pics will be posted this evening

Thanks

Mr. Ken Worth

They sound like terrific projects Ken. I'd love to see the Kenworth done too. I'll look forward to your pics.

The build roster has been updated. We're up to 11 builds :)

Cheers

Tony

Tony gonna have to dig through the stash and see what does'nt shoot or fly ,I'll find something tho! You're off and running already I see,looking great! Studio 27 resin,I'm drooling already! cheers Trey

It would be great to have you on board Trey, I'll look forward to it.

Cheers

Tony

Tony thanks! I'm in with this 1/25 Revell 49 Merc

I'll be getting rid of all the chrome,ca'nt stand the stuff. If it aint fast chrome it!

I've got a few others time allowing that might get added later. Got good feelings about this g/b thanks for hosting it!

Tax I'd like to see the kenworth finished too, LOL

Trey I agree I have good feelings about this group too

Pics are on their way

I'm glad you're building that thing Trey, I like the cars of that era.I'll be keen to see how good the kit is, as I might have to invest.

I'm really liking the diversity of subjects already in this GB, and I'll do my best to keep the energy up as we go along.

I've added the Merc to the build roster. That makes a dozen so far !!!

Cheers

Tony

This is what I'm going for on Lisa's Truck, except it won't be a reefer truck

Here is the camaro. Here is the one the car dealer had last summer. I sat in it for about 10 minutes. it cost more than $42,000.

This kit didn't come with the engine, only what was molded into the bottom of the chassi. I got my LHS to go half on the Revell kit and I got the motor out of it and cut out the molded engine out of this chassi.

That's a great photo of the truck Ken. I can fully understand why you would want to build one. Nice dog too. Looks like you're on the way with the wheels and chassis.

There's no photo of the Camaro, but I know that will get me going too.

Cheers

Tony

My computer froze up thats why it took me a little bit to get the other pics on there

Thanks for the complement on the dog. Like most everyone else she too thinks I'm obsessed with model building LOL

Yeah, I knew I would want one too. Looks like you are doing some good work on it. What's the rationale for building the AMT kit with a Revell donk ? Is the AMT a better body ? It will be good to see this one coming together too.

I really love these late model Camaro's, and Mustangs for that matter. Same for the muscle car era ones.  I think I have every 64-73 Mustang kit in 1/24 or 1/25, except for the 1970 Mustang Grande that Revell once did. I think I will try to squeeze one or the other into this GB later in the year.

Cheers

Tony

I didn't think it was a donk, The AMT kit has the same wheels that the 1:1 has. The only Revell parts i'm putting into it are under the hood. I got this kit because it's a convertible. Revell only has the hard top

I'm not much of a Ford person, even my models show that LOL I've always liked General Motors

Hi Ken

I use donk colloquially for any engine, maybe it's an Aussie only slang. Now I understand the reason for both kits, thanks.

I actually worked for GM for some years here too. I'm currently driving their product.

Cheers

Tony

Hi Tony,

Can I jump in with Revell's Rebel '69 Corvette? It was a road race car, and I do have a layer of paint laid down on the body and the chassis is mocked up.

Thanks

Glenn

I just googled it Glenn, that's a good looking race car. I've added you to the build roster, and I'm very glad to have you on board.

Cheers

Tony

Hi,

This sounds like fun. I have three that I would like to add.

AMT 1966 Nova Pro-street (recently started still cleaning flash hehehe)

AMT 1962 Bel Air

REVELL 1960's era Beetle (Nope, not using the flowery stickers that came with it and ya can't make me hehehehe)

I'll start posting some pics of the Nova tomorrow.

Thanks. :)

Your not a flower child hippy huh ewheeler? LOL

I came of age in the early 70s and tried to let my hair grow long. The only problem is it get down to the top of my shoulders and stops getting longer: then it grows thicker LOL
