My Dream Truck.....in scale

[Drunkcanuk]

Opening up an old wound for me! Woman made me toss a bunch of model kits I had stashed away after we got married. Had nice 454ss and 32 ford kits waiting to be done. A least I still have my 91Sierra ST in the garage, told her it was there before we got married, and there after she's gone. I enjoyed my evening on the couch!!!
You definitely have some skills and patience for your models. Good job, keep up the battle, been there done that.

Mine's been after me to thin the stash some more (which I've already done .....twice) but the ones that I've got remaining are "holy grail" kits that wont be leaving anytime soon (meaning in my lifetime). Some of the kits that I've got are crazy expensive. Ever price out a Jo-Han Ford Maverick kit these days?? Try 300 bucks on for size. I've got two that were given to me by a close friend.

I don't got the patience or the fine motor skills to put those kits together. RC stuff is as detailed as I get.
Glad to see y'alls skills though. Very impressive.

RC is definitely cool that's for dang sure. Most everybody has something that relaxes them in some way and modeling (in addition to building 1:1 scale stuff) has a way of doing just that for me. I spend on average, about 1 hour a day building. My current project is a fastback version of a 1967 Mustang Coupe that I owned a little over 20 years ago. I've got most of it done except for finishing up the body but the engine and interior work is my favorite parts of building any scale auto

The fast back engine...

and interior: (those are individual steel rivets that I inserted into holes I drilled into the steering wheel ring)

That reminds me of my favorite movies, Ronin. One of the characters makes little Japanese samurai models with that type of detail.

I remember that. lol. Dude built himself a cool diorama. I'd love to paint figures with the level of realism that I see some folks do. I'm comfortable building military aircraft to some level of realism but figures are a whole 'nuther area for me.

I have a 76 314 Porsche I have waiting for me to build, as well as another 1967 Impala SS. I keep forgetting about them as they are in the garage on a bookshelf.

I haven't seen a kit of a 314 yet but I've seen several of the Impala SS kits. Is the Impala AMT or Revell?

67 Impala is AMT-very good model with clear lenses and even clear glass on the gauges. One of the best AMTs I've come across-and I did have a massive collection before I started selling out. Still have some gems that need to go if anybody's interested.
