I figured since I just joined today, I would post a couple pics of recent builds. By recent I mean within the last couple years. Hope everyone enjoys.

-1976 Ford Torino- Starsky and Hutch Kit, turned brochure car. Tri color interior, on saddle bronze metallic. Wheels and tires donated from parts bin.

- 1980 Corvette- $3.00 promo turned detailed. Oxe blood flocked interior, Dark Cherry Metallic exterior.

- 1967 Dodge Charger- Brochure car from 1967, ebay resin correct wheels, red interior, folded down rear seats, lots of cutting and modding.

-1978 El Camino and 1980 El Camino- 78 is a brochure Tri-color car, tan interior. 305 to match specs from catalog. The 80 is a detailed promo, silver on red, with flocking.

- Original Mini Cooper- British Racing green/ white on mint green and white interior.

- 1955 Chevy Cameo- White/ Red. Real Wood bed, was a lot of work but totally worth the time spent. 

- 1963 and 1966 Galaxies, box stock builds.

- 1962 Olds Starfire- Rescued Johan glue bomb, modelhaus hood, rechromed bumpers, also a brochure car.

- 1969 GT500- Blue on white, hours of photo research.

- 1978 Chevy Monza- detailed/ flocked promo.

- 1997 Ford Explorer- Replicar, modeled after a photo of a 97 I owned.

- 1967 Mercury Comet- Box stock build.

If anyone wants further detailed pics or has any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks again for the add!

Some very nice models there Ronnie. My favourite is the Mini but I love that silver El Camino too. 

[StevenGuthmiller]

Nice stuff!

I especially like the Olds, although it is a '63, not a '62.

But regardless, it's a very nice looking build!

Welcome to our board!  That's quite an impressive array of builds you've posted.  My compliments on your paint and assembly work.  

I couldn't help but notice your MPC '80 Corvette, as this was mine for 20 years.  

It looks like you were able to "carpet" the area behind the seats.  Do you have any WIP pics of that process?  I tried using embossing powder, but couldn't seem to get it to cover evenly.  

[El Caballo]

Welcome, I like the 69/70 Shelby. That brown Torino is a real throwback, I remember that color being very popular.

[vamach1]

All of them are great but my favorite is the 69 Shelby.

[Ronron1214]

Thanks so much everyone!! Means a lot.

Hey Monty, sweet vette! I sure do have some photo's of the rear deck work. The material I used was actually called Flocking. I've tried embossing powder, but didn't work out to well, lol. Ken's Kustom Fuzzi-Fur makes the stuff I uset. I'm sure its available at the local hobby shop, if not, I've seen it on various model sites. The color selection is pretty big, and the price is very reasonable. In my experience, very easy to work to with. I highly suggest it.
