- (May 18, 2012)
- My first built Enzo; it's Revell's new snap kit. Very good kit for a snapper, I gave it a few tweaks above factory stock, and a paint scheme that's a bit more modern than seen in 2003, but one that is familiar to current Ferraris. Testors Chevy engine red lacquer, Tamiya gloss black, cleared w/U-Pol.

| | - Citroen 2CV
- (Apr 15, 2012)
- Revell AG's Citroen 2CV. The kit is a 2CV6 Charleston, I've decontented it a bit to look like a more basic 2CV. Weathered a bit with dull paint and pastels, to give it the look of the real cars I saw in Paris in the '70's.
This is a greatkit, detail is pretty impressive. I had fun just building it OOB and paint detailing. Underhood detail is especially nice. - Album was created 1 month ago and modified 1 month ago

| | - 1972 & 1976 AMC Gremlin X
- (Feb 4, 2011)
- I've just finished up a Bandit Resins '72 Gremlin X model, based upon AMT's recently reissued 1976 Gremlin X kit.
The blue model shown here is an out-of-box original annual kit from 1976, and is pretty much how I bought it in Toledo close to 20 years ago for all of $2. In the meantime I acquired an original box with many of the original parts, including sealed chrome parts, and basically all the parts minus the actual body, hood, and chassis plate. My intention was to restore this Toledo find, but because of the newly reissued kit, it's nice to keep original. If I do decide to restore it, I can build almost an entirely new kit from the extra parts I have, aside from the chassis.
I'd call this Toledo model a "sympathetic restoration"; I took it apart when I bought it planning to restore it, but then it sat for years. With the new kit in hand, I decided to put this one back together and clean it up and do a few minor touchups; this was my reference guide and comparison model for the new buildup of the '72 Bandit Resins kit that utilized the guts of the reissue. The original builder did a nice job; spray painted and clearcoated, silver trim, accurate detail painting on the exterior. The interior is just one color (same as exterior), the the chassis is all black, the engine block painted red. Neat model, and inspiration for the new one that was just finished. - Album was created 4 months ago and modified 2 months ago
