1958 Chevy Impala custom
I built this one about 25 years ago, looks like it came right out of Rod & Custom magazine. Quite a bit of putty and sanding done here. That's what we used to call a very sanitary rod.
10 - AMT - Anakin's Podracer
What an incredibly fun kit to build, from the subject to the fit and finish I had a ton of fun.
The details are great and the figure was amazing to paint, a few gaps here and there on the pod but nothing that was too tough to fix up.
The [...]
1/48 Douglas A-20 by AMT
Lots of aftermarket items added to this build. The engines, cowlings, propellers, control surfaces, cockpit, control panel, guns, and wheels. Foxbot decals were also used to replace the kit ones. I fabricated the pitot head on the fin, [...]
AMT 1/48 Grumman F7F-2N Tigercat “Big Bird”
The kit directions have a note that I started putting paint to plastic on July 16, 2020 and I finished the model July 5 of this year. During that time, I did manage to complete one other model that had been set aside, and also started [...]
AMT-FROG “Famous Fighters Series I” – Box Theme Build
This is a build I completed a few months ago of AMT-FROG Famous Fighters Series I, No. 3955-130, 1:72 (1967 boxing). I started work on the first plane this past September while involved with two different FB group builds on a totally [...]

The road trip model – Stinson SR-9 Reliant, AMT 1/48
I am in Florida, having competed in the Top Gun RC meet a few weeks ago. My son lives not far away from where the meet was held, so we came to visit. It was only supposed to be for a few days, but has turned into a few weeks. It turned [...]
AMT Douglas A-20G
My favorite twin-engined bomber of WWII, and probably the most iconic, as in overexposed, livery.
Relatively straight forward and basic kit-another member of the 20/20 club, and another lockdown build.
AMT Bulldozer 1/25
This is the AMT kit that was originally titled "Caterpillar D8H" but has been re-released as the generic "construction bulldozer." It's a great kit, very detailed, and very much capable of even more scratch-building [...]
John Deere 4430
I grew up on a farm with green tractors, and as kids my school mates and I used to have tug-of-wars over whether John Deere or IH were the better tractors. Sometime around my early teens I built the Ertl Massey-Ferguson 1155 tractor which [...]
