Nice Brizio! I picked up a 71' Hemi Cuda convertible myself at Hobby Lobby the other day on discount - $5! Definitely should be a fun build.

I'm assuming you dry-brushed those raised tire letters? That worked well on my second gen's Firestone tires.

Today I completed it. The kit was pretty fun to build, easy, and fit together very nice. Add some parts, scratch build the Hamster... The Hamster it is not in scale, but I preferred so.
The name Hemster its a combination between Hemi and Hemster... Why this??? You'll see it later... :)

The model done...

The new decals...

Of course, need a custom license plate... :)

Now you can understand why the name Hemster... :)

Thank you for looking!!! :)

Nice build Brizio. Toast Toast Yes Yes Love the engine compartment. My wife was wondering what I was laughing so hard at. Then she saw it. Don't know how many times I've yelled at a slowpoke driver to feed their hamster. Never thought I'd actually see one. Great idea, really great.
