Another top shelf model CT. Hi Sir! Thank you so much. I recently bought Mr. Gibbons' latest album, "Big Bad Blues". Pure ZZTop sounding stuff! Maybe I got influenced listening to it while building this car. Subliminal messages laced in his music? Hmmmmm..... What do you think? CT

Another masterpiece, as others said above, the flawless execution of your styrene imagination is just awesome. Very creative, what do you put in your coffee! Cheers, Steve Hi Steve! Thank you. As indicated above to Mr. Woodruff... Might be what was in my ears more than what was in my coffee... Who knows? CT

I have the feeling, that nobody likes the 1983ish Camaro or Firebird as a kit. I know from Germany that I can't get sold it - not even for 10 Euros (sealed!). I built a couple of them for may collection but have another handful of them sitting in the shelf with no mood to build some more. Maybe sometimes. In a long time..... This idea gives a lot of new ideas. Well done, well done! Thanks Christian! To your point, that may explain why my friend gave me the kit upon receiving it as a door prize... Maybe this car is not a favorite of masses? After all, it was that generation of Camaro (built out of Montreal, Québec, Canada) that saw the demise of the Camaro at the turn of the century. Before the "retro-camaro" came back in 2009. Not unlike the Mustang 2, unloved by the enthusiasts, even in the face of record sales. Go figure... However. my experience shows that the Monogram kit is EXTREMELY well designed, with minute details all over. Certainly a great source of mash-up pieces, if nothing else... The only snafu seems to be textured molding outines for the window black surrounds molded on the OUTSIDE of the glass, CT

CT I thought those subliminal messages could be heard by playing the recordings backwards. What ever you inspiration was the message came through loud and clear. This the stuff of scale inspiration my talented friend!

Yesterday, Tom Woodruff send me personnal pictures he took last year of a spectacular 41 Lincoln custom, but a Zephyr coupe, not a Conti like mine. And it was a creation of famous modeler Ted Chopper Lear. Bad news is, Tom told me Mr. Lear had passed last year. Very sad. He was so creative and talented. Life is short, it appears... CT
