Cars (and Trucks) 2024-25

I havnt seen a general auto build in a while and the GBs are getting a bit thin. I also have a bunch of cars I need to get started on.

These are the only rules,

  1. Must be a car or truck.
  2. You have till the end of June 2025 to complete something.
  3. Can be stock, modified or imaginary.

I’m not sure how much time I’ll be able commit to this but I’ll try.

68Gt - Revell 1999 Ford Lightning, 1/25

I’m going to be starting with this Revell 1999 Ford Lightning.

Ed-looks interesting. One question (for now…)-are cross overs allowed? I’ve got a couple of Japanese autos that I’m thinking of using for the Japanese GB.

If not, no problem-I have plenty of autos that will fit the bill.

Thanks

Bob

“One question (for now…)-are cross overs allowed?”

I’ll be in with a Kenworth or Peterbilt.

Jim, I’m in Woodland,near you.

Definitely want to build another auto this year. Just about to finish up my MPC 1970 Super Bee and I may want to build a second in close succession before I forget all the things that needs fixed with the kit or that I could improve upon. Also have a Monogram 1/48 71 Plymouth GTX I want to get built. GTX seems like an easier build though, so I guess just put me down with the Plymouth for now.

John, we are practically neighbors! I do a lot of HVAC work in Woodland…Engstrom Properties, Palm Gardens senior home, Hotel Woodland to name a few. Lovely city. Visited your website, impressive models & website!

And so it begins!

Does it have to be a new build, or can it be started?

We’ll have to get together some time, Jim. Let me know when you are in town.

Got a color scheme picked out Ed? Good to see this underway!

Sounds good John, will do!

I’ve always liked True Blue but I’m not getting a blue to turn out the way I want it. Dark Shadow Gray is also a possibility since Gravity Colors has Magnetic and Liquid Gray.

Ed, is this civilian vehicles only, or are military trucks or cars allowed?

I have both in the stash of couse, but was planning on a gun truck and one of ICM’s WW1 Model T kits later in the year.

Both and since it’s a truck your in!

I’ll jump in. A 1937 Chevy coupe, by AMT, about one third done.

Sounds good Steve!

When anyone else narrows their build down I’ll add you to the roster.

I had a change of heart and will be building this one, Ed.

Aoshima Lambo Huracan.

Fair amount of parts:

How are those kits?

I started painting parts this week.
