1980 Jeep Honcho w/Snowmobile
This one I had issues with paint bubbling, so I repainted it brown. It's ok from afar.
1969 Chevrolet Nova
1967 Chevrolet Impala SS
I decided to leave this on the molded color.
1970 Chevrolet Corvette
Same with this one.
1985 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Such a fast turn around and excellent finish, too. I particularly like the Jeep with matching snowmobile: perfect for Aspen.

Very nice selection, John. It must be satisfying to finish models so well. Love the engine detail.

Thanks to all. I appreciate the kind words. I'm no master car builder compared to a lot of pictures and work I see. But I enjoy building them and seeing how they turn out.

If I could build and paint models even half as good as you, I'd be excited. But it's a craft I've never, ever come even a little bit come close to being able to to. I've always started out with so much hope and determination to get it done and get it done right. It has always turned in to a project of complete frustration and dissatisfaction.
And each time I've declared I'll never try again. It's now been probably 15 or more years that I attempted to build a model, and I've just accepted that I can't do it. If a model isn't already completely put together (i.e. as our diecast cars are), I'm not interested in it.
It takes a special talent, patience, and person to build them and have them come out right. It's NOT me!
