1/24 VW Bus
Hi All, Here’s my first 2019 post. I recently completed this VW Bus as a birthday present for my wife. In +/- 50 years of modeling this is my first non military vehicle I’ve modeled, so it’s a bit rough around the edges, so please [...]

2 down 2 to go! “Diggin” building in 2019!
Ok, so my goal was to build the 4 kits I had been given as gifts before building any others. The Pan Am 2001 Clipper was first, next I chose one of the sillies kits I've ever build, straight from the "Rat Fink" craze of the [...]
Monogram's 1/24 Scale 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Super Bird
Another one of my favorite Chrysler products. This kit was kit bashed with Monogram's 1969 Dodge Super Bee. The Super Bird kit was way off in detail in certain areas. I used the engine bay, chassis, suspension, rear axle, engine, [...]
REPOP Resin 1/25 Scale 1971-72 Dodge Demon
Don't remember where I purchased this resin body and hood from. Has to be the worst resin kit I have ever worked with. I had to build it because it is a replica of my 1972 Dodge Demon that I have restored myself. The kit ad so many [...]
Modelhaus Resin 1/25 Scale 1969 Dodge Charger R/T

Monogram's 1/24 Scale 1966 Ford Shelby GT350H
Started to build this kit about 15 years ago. Never completed due to the horrible stock decals associated with this kit! I painted this Shelby black lacquer and masked off the black and painted the gold stripes with lacquer. Was wet [...]
AMT 1/25 scale 1971 Dodge Charger R/T Kit
Long story behind this kit! My best friend Marshall Smith who owned a Restored 1971 Dodge Charger SE. His Charger was authenticated by Gailen Govier as to be 1 of 7 built in 1971. Charger SE was a luxury style Charger with a leather [...]
Monogram's 1/24 scale 1970 Plymouth AAR Cuda
Pretty much stock out of the box. Had to reshape side window opening and replace drip rail. Kit was way off. Used airbrushed automotive lacquer PPG EV2 "Hemi Orange" paint. Three coats of Testors Clear Coat Lacquer. Wet [...]

My attempt at the Airfix 1/32 Ford Escort - 1968 to 1974 model.
Scratch built wipers, headlights (white glue gone clearish when dry), wing mirrors, interior rear view mirror, interior door and rear panels. Also exhaust modified to go into [...]
