What modelling software do you use?

Very realistic weathering!

I found this 1983 or 1984 GMC C-3500 dually recently and it makes me want to make one out of an AMT Deserter. Seems to have a few leaks though, and the driver's seat isn't exactly there ?

Nice door jamb work on this, very clean! My next build will be my first with opening doors and I'm looking at this for inspiration.

These are looking awesome!

Cadillac is beautiful too. There's a gentleman in my area with one of the ASC converted convertible versions.

I love that Camaro!

Awesome!

Looking forward to these, proper 70s iron!

That's some beautifully detailed work right there!

Good detail work.

Cool project, looking forward to seeing where this goes!

Man if I wasn't so busy with school I would have come! Sad I missed it! Should be there for the next meeting though.

I saw this cool thing in my neighborhood today. Good inspiration for a Revell 1/25 '83 Hurst Oldsmobile or '85 Oldsmobile 442/FE3-X build. It looks to be mostly factory stock and is riding on some period correct Centerline rims wrapped in BF Goodrich tires.

This is such a cool build...

Great work so far!

Beautiful work as usual!

Great detail work!

Cool project, excited to see where this goes!

Great work on this!

Hi Everyone! I am a University student from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and I am getting back into building model cars. I have been in and out of the hobby over the years, building a kit here and there, and over time I have amassed quite a large collection of kits. Recently I have gotten seriously interested in the hobby again and I plan to pursue it as more than just a casual interest and strive to be the best builder I can be. I have many plans for future builds and I'm extremely excited to get going again. In terms of subject matter, I'm interested in a wide variety of things, but my main focus is American cars from the late 60s through the smog era, especially the smog era. I tend to gravitate towards the "non-sporty" trims of cars too, like the luxury and base models. I want to build both factory stock cars and period correct customs, and I want to do trim, model, and year conversions on various kits. I plan to do things like take a Chevelle SS and turn it into a Beaumont for example, or take a Nova SS and make it into a base model car, that sort of thing. I love doing custom work, kitbashing and cutting up bodies. I'm very glad I found this community, and I've already been exploring the many excellent builds you guys are posting up here. I hope to join you soon with my own posts. If you guys are interested, I also have an Instagram page I started recently where I post my work. It is called Malaise Models, and you can find a link to it below. Anyway, I'll see you guys, cheers! - Mike Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/malaisemodels?igsh=ajI5bDd6bDBuMHhw

Exquisite engine detail! I didn't know these kits came with a straight six until now. I've been looking for a source for that engine. Keep up the great work!

This is awesome! I'm hoping to do a '69 Beaumont in the future based on the Revell Chevelle kit. This is very inspirational.

Love the colour and rims!

Nice work!
