Those are cool as hell.

Just shot the clear over gold metallic on a late AMT from their last release a couple of years ago. One of our chapter members worked a deal with our local hobby shop and several of us ended up with a case each. They are resting happily in my model building/car library room with about 100 other unbuilts and 50 or so models I built from the time I was about 8....gonna be fun re-doing some of them.....

These are all models. NO PHOTOSHOP.






Look at the set of images here. The guy is a genius at both model building and photography.

I believe you have the wrong idea there.

Hey Corvair friends, I finished Bumble Bee some time ago but forgot to post his finished picture.
Been busy working in knee therapy and working on a 65 CORSA convertible. when I can hobble around it. sitting down on the ground is not bad... but getting up....OMG
I have posted two pictures with his lights on.
Hope you like him.
Thanks,

Coming to a Chevy Dealer near you.....This was my favorite because it was in a Chevy Showroom. But this is one you can NOT put up on a shelf.
Great work on the Paper Bee!!

Those models are pretty wild !

I just came across these items from 1969. I can still remember building the Mustang.

I found this picture I took of almost all the models I built growing up. The Green Dune Buggy and the Bed Buggy were the only Corvair powered kits in this picture. I think this was Early 70's.

Anybody build any models over the winter or even more recent, that they can post pictures of here?

If anyone out there is interested in buying a collection of mostly unopened 1/24th 1/25th scale automotive model kits, I have a bunch of them that are all made prior to 1993 (mostly)
They have been stored in a cool dry area, not in an attic or shed so they should still be as new once opened.

A quick inventory follows:

74 Kits are Corvette's ranging from 1953 to about 1993 when I stopped buying kits.

10 Kits are Buick or Pontiac.

22 Kits are Chevrolet.

23 Kits are Chrysler, Dodge, or Plymouth.

17 Kits are Ford or Lincoln.

11 Kits are Miscellaneous.

I also have a smaller collection of smaller scale die cast and promo's that are mostly Corvettes (no Corvair's sorry) including Matchbox, Tootsietoy, Monogram Exact's, Micro Machines (again no Corvair's), and Johnny Lightning.

I have a more comprehensive list on an excel spreadsheet that includes most of the stuff. I obtained and sold some since compiling the list and have not updated it in over ten years but it is still a fairly accurate inventory.

If anyone out there is looking to make a large purchase, I would like to sell the collection as a whole, not one or two pieces.

Back in 1993 I valued the collection at no less than $1,100.00 when the average kit was about $7.00 each. I would be looking for somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,500.00 for everything I have. (Yeah I know.....I'm dreaming huh)

I'd love to have a 65 Corsa model to paint the same color as mine, but the trick would be getting wheels that match the ones I have installed on my Vair. And how to duplicate the vinyl/cloth seats...

Did a quick search and found this model theard. here are a few i'm working on now. The Chevy II is closest to done...

[JasonC]

heres a done one, the smaller one is a 1.18th scale diecast to show the size of the model kit.
