After 12 1/2 years it's finally finished. Not really much for me to say other than I'm glad I did eventually get it done. I wasn't going for a fendered version, but painted the fenders at the same time as the body and liked that look. This is the first of five I've gotten on the shelf in the last few weeks and number 6 of ten finished this year. Four to go! Gary

I've been building models in eight (!) decades. Does that make me experienced or just old? I'm old! Well, I do have SOME experience!

Strange that the best looking 34 3 window kit is a snap kit. Although to my eye all 34 3 windows look great, some just greater than others.

Got two on my shelf, and they're great "slump-busters!"

Slick! I feel like there aren't too many kits that can just "go together" and look right; this is one of them, and you've done a bang-up job of it.

I'd nitpick the 80s/90s style slot taillights but I do recall seeing something like that on a 1:1 60s build once! I remember being surprised.

I started building one of these and immediately turned it from "slump-buster" to "slump" with a chop, lots of parts-swapping and indecision.

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

Nov 17, 2024 17:50:56 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: just want to wish everyone a happy safe holiday season! it's among us Nov 22, 2024 22:57:44 GMT -5
