Stunning builds man.  I didn't know the Testa Rossa kit existed.  Is it older?

Thanks Jeremy! The Hase Testa Rossa came out in the early 2000's if I remember correctly. It's an absolutely beautiful kit. They're on eBay pretty frequently but they tend to go for silly money now. This one has KA Models photoetched parts and Hasegawa's own PE/plastic wheels.

Jason, I must say that you are generally very quiet on here, but every one of the builds you post knocks my socks off. I hope you have a disaster plan in place to save them if a hurricane / tornado / sharknado threatens your part of Floriduh.

Best Builds can be a little subjective so here are a few of my favorites. 

[Koellefornia Kid]

Oh man, choosing a Top 5 is like saying you like one of your kids more than the others.... But I picked five builds that (imo) turned out quiet nice. In no particular order:

‘72 Blazer, lots of fun creating a custom interior and a custom paint job:

'30 Ford Model A Coupe de Cab. The original 1:1 car once was the property of one of my childhood heroes, professional skateboarder Steve Caballero. Just had to build it in scale:

'78 AMC Pacer kit bashed with a '06 Camaro. Actually turned out cooler than I envisioned it:

'68 El Camino. Probably my cleanest paint finish and best engine:

'48 Custom Cadillac. Modified to resemble Boyd Coddington's Eldorod from 1998:

But I do love my other builds, too...

LOL, speak for yourself.

Karmann Ghia with suburu engine

1972 Nissan Skyline on a calibra dtm chassis with twin turbos and all the cooling and 4x4

1951 VW Hebmuller mild custom with working front suspension

Datsun Cedric Lowrider with ott one line painted roof

Chevy Impala Lowrider, everything opens except the doors and the paint is almost impossible to get a decent pic of as i used reflective paint for the silver and golds under the candy. a little of the effect can be seen on the sides but it glows in person

I've lived in my house for 22 years now and it's come through direct hits from three major hurricanes (Wilma, Irma and Ian) with flying colors. It's built tough and I'm on "high ground" about 8 miles inland. When Ian hit Naples last year with 130+ mph winds I lost power for less than 24 hours with zero damage. I have native trees (live oak and cabbage palms) for landscaping and they handle heavy winds really well. The plan if I ever do have to evacuate would be to pack up the top 20 or so builds as if I were going to a contest and load them up in the car in big flat storage boxes.  As for sharknadoes, not a lot you can do about those so sometimes you just have to roll the dice!

I had a pair of those in 1988. I was more keen on Vision Street Wear , Converse, and Airwalks.

Fantastic models!
