I'm getting more and more into the fine detail stuff and this build is a benchmark as far as I'm concerned! Amazing! Makes mine look rubbish

Beautiful job and it was great to meet you, Marcos.

Mr409: The 1969 Build Off sounds like fun, just bought myself a kit for that in eBay so I'm ready to go when the build off starts! The forum is a bit quiet like many of these seem to be nowadays, but hopefully we'll have a good number of participants. Nov 5, 2023 15:44:05 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: I hope so and I hope I can also , things keep getting in my way it's frustrating Nov 7, 2023 0:17:56 GMT -5

Mr409: I know that feeling, because of the same reason haven't had much time to build anything for last couple of years. Now it looks like I might get some more bench time, at least during the winter. Nov 7, 2023 15:19:01 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: nothing stopping me but being able to paint! Nov 23, 2023 1:39:12 GMT -5

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: fyi I did Pay for ad free here, I might have to renew that Jan 23, 2024 23:51:04 GMT -5
