Just a quick build? Wow it is totally awesome. It takes me years to do one of this caliber and detail....

Gorgeous! Love the sunglasses on the dash and the sticker on the window. How'd you get the grille and bumper to look so lifelike?

Beeyooteeful job on the Duster!

It brought me back to my high school driver's ed class where the local Plymouth dealer was chumming the high school waters with raw, bloody muscle. We had three Dusters, one with the 225 slant six (the girls usually got stuck with that one), a 318 Twister and a 340 Wedge. There were two Satellite Sebrings, three Furies (one was a Sport Fury GT [no six-pack] but had the 440), and two Barracudas (one was a 340 'Cuda, the other with the 318). No Hemis! But I guess they gave more than enough horsepower to kill ourselves if we were so inclined. Driver's ed was the best part of school and lasted for three semesters. My hometown was a big MOPAR town partly because of that. The two Air Force bases next to us (Eglin and Hurlburt Field) with their thousands of airmen with nothing to do but buy cars contributed in a big way, too. There were Superbirds, Daytonas, Challengers, Roadrunners, and whatnot running all over the place. Not to mention the Fords, Chevies and all the rest.

That Duster of yours just relit my memory of those days, Thanks!

Hands down, without question, the accumulated weight of your builds presented here over the past year have convinced me that you're the finest painter I have ever seen in the Auto Modeling genre!

I wish you would do some articles for Finescale!

You NEVER disappoint--just brilliant, as always!
