Re: Lancia Stratos Turbo, Tamiya, 1/24

Getting the decals to settle in to those louvers up front must have been a bear!
This same model is next up for me, except, I'll be making it into a street version.

Re: '64 Ford 427 Fairlane Saloon Car

Thank you Bruce! I used the Revell '64 Ford Fairlane Street Machine 2'n1 kit. I used aftermarket Minilite wheels with some tires from the whoknowswhere box. I also blanked off the rear seat area and made the roll bar from scratch. Aftermarket racing seats and steering wheel were used. From the parts...

'64 Ford 427 Fairlane Saloon Car

This is what my version of a '64 Ford 427 Fairlane saloon car would look like for "SVRA" racing. https://i.postimg.cc/YSvGQ45j/IMGP5366.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Ghb4qgWW/IMGP5368.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/L53nmj1Q/IMGP5369.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/66r7VxmV/IMGP5370.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/...

Tire Lettering

This is what I use to letter tires and other things that may need white touchup. I found a box of them online that had several sizes: 1.0, 0.8, 0.6.

The "Mysterion" - A recreation

Back in 1965 when I was twelve years old, I built this model and entered in the Revell-Testors Model Car Contest. That model wound up winning first place in my region. When the model was returned to me, there were parts broken and to the best of my memory I think that the rear slicks decomposed. Any...

'65 Comet Cyclone

I figured that "Other" should be the best place to show this 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone. I did this as as a remembrance to my younger days. I was 13 years old in 1965 and loved the looks of "Dyno" Don Nicholson Cyclones. In our neighborhood, we all had nicknames. "Jungle Jim...
