Here's a couple of mine - better quality kits from Revell for sure.

Revell 67 Dodge Charger

Recently 'almost' finished - body is just set on the chasis ( 15 year shelf queen, but actually a really nice kit ).  Decals are still settling and needs a clearcoat.

Revell Ryan Newman Dodge Intrepid

 

Thanks,

John

I forgot about this thread. Does AMT count?

Mustang GT

It's really too bad that most of the pictures on the former pages have gone away thanks to Photobucket.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

I'm using ImageShack and haven't had any problems. It's pretty cheap at around $35 per year but at that it's no where near what PB wants. I still have plenty of images up that are PB but that'll change when my subscription anniversary comes around.

 

That's a nice car regardless of the fact that it's not a Revell or Monogram there Jim. Yes

Hey Big Jim, I'm trying Fotki.


For some of the forums that I visit, they have the ability to directly upload my photos to their site. Kalmbach is not one of them.

For Kalmbcah forums, I am using PostImage: http://postimages.org/
It is free. So far I am happy.

Below is not Revell/Monogram, but, is PostImage.

Hey Big Jim,

I'm trying Fotki. I like it so far, no ads and it's pretty easy to use. I started with the free trial, and now have a plan for about $ 24 a year. They explain pretty well their plans and options.

Here's one I did for the Monogram Mafia this year.

LOL! I hear you on that one. At the end of this year my account will dissolve. I've had a couple of email exchanges with them and called it quits.

It's been a while since there's been any activity here on this thread so I figured I'd give it a little help.

Finished this restoration/ upgrade project about 8 months ago and started with a 35 ish year old Monogram Z/28 Camaro that I built when I was around 12-13. It took around 7 months to complete and I converted it from a Z/28 to an SS 396.

Monogram's 1969 Z/28 Camaro upgraded to an SS 396 Camaro.

Mind blowing and inspiring builds in this thread.

 

 

 
Rob Gronovius

Here is my Revell PT Cruiser, probably one of the nicest snap together car models I've ever made. I went for the retro US Army looking staff car, reminiscent of a WW2 army staff car. I don't build a lot of automobiles, but this one caught my eye.

 

 

Rob, Where did the decals come from?

 

The spare parts box, just excess US Army stars I had. The 3-star general's flag was made using Powerpoint and some styrene.

I bought this 3in1 kit years ago and built the red convertible................

And looking in the box recently the middle cab unit (in grey on the box art) was still in there, so I built this..............

 

After a few slight modifications!

 

Sorry to see this Pat. When you get your new image storage account repost this. I'd like to see it.

Starting with Shawns awesome Cobra, then to Nicks jaw dropping GTO and then to Dave's drop dead gorgeous 36 Ford and wrapping it all up with Robs very cool VIP modern VIP just confirms the fact that it aint the kits that count in modeling..............it's truly the modelers!! Wow guys! Truly inspiring stuff on display here!!!! Yes

Well Joe... Some day I'm going to learn not to get involved with your threads...(lol) As you stated, Now I'm REHOOKED on car kits. There is so much now in the way of detail, resin, PE, aftermarket detail parts that were'nt available when I started building, that you can REALLY get into some amazing work. Now that I am fully retired, I will have some extra time on my hands and will likely need to be restrained from over doing this beloved hobby of ours! lolol... Any way, This is another Kit that I started awhile back but just now decided to finish. All I had done was the frame at the time. Its a Revell-o-Gram 1/25 1940 Willys Gasser That I call "Mothers Worry". The base coat of paint is HOK Aztec Gold, and the top coat is HOK Candy Tangerine, both lacquer based. Most every thing (other then the body and frame) was Kit Bashed or scratch built including the shop and everything in it. Thanks again Joe... (lolol, just kidding)

Any way, Thats it, Hope to have this one in an up-coming show the 29th of April... See how we do... Take care all!

Gene: It'd be great to see you there. I've got a couple of cars to take and maybe one aircraft.

Matt: Don't worry about what you think of your work. Post it in a WIP by way of Photobucket. Do you happen to own a PC or laptop?
