Yeah the new Revell looks nice, but nothing beats the old AMT new or old tools!

When Art and Plastic collide

Building box art models has been fun and I have a lot to build yet. For some reason I seem to draw more inspiration from artwork than I do from photos of real vehicles. Lyle Willits has also been bitten by the bug, at least awhile ago since these are new photos of an old build of his. He built his '41 Chevy pickup to look like a Jairus Watson piece. I really like the truck even if he had never shown the artwork with it. On TRaK I have a build going for modeling artwork in plastic. I have a feeling it's going to bring some really neat builds out!

'51 Chevy 2nd Chance

As previously posted, here is the car back at home with me! This was built back in late 2003 and sold on eBay in 2005. When I got a chance to get it back and do "better" on it than back then, I took it! The plan is to sit low and it will depend on what the body looks like whether paint flies. The roof alone is bothering me with the mold lines still there, so that has to get done.

Chance to redo

I built this car about 6 years ago.....damn time flies! I started to notice a signifigant difference in this build and newer builds in 2005. I decided I didn't want my cars to be on the shelf with all these "less worthy" ones. In 2005 I sold all of my builds on eBay to get rid of them and get a little cash. Now I know who has the car and we are working on a simple trade for me to get it back. It still looks the same minus the wheels! Well, I know exactly what paint I put on it and what it would take to IMPROVE the car. This time around, it will be completely "traditional" mild kustom. Back when I built this car, it just seemed cool to use these wheels..but today I can't stand them.
I will post again when it's time. Notice the poor photo quality taken on a borrowed camera because at the time I only had a 1MP Kodak Millenium Gold POS.
