Keavdog and everyone else .

you are correct .The " Batmobile " was once one of the most loved in the “FORD” " Cars Of Tomorrow Exhibit " ! It was also in a Movie with Glen Ford . A long time ago . It fell on hard times , was sold to Barris , sat in front of his shop for a few years then became the Base for that totally distasteful remake to the Batmobile .

I always thought , like the FORD LEVA Car , that it belonged in MOMA for what it foretold in auto design . All I can say is after I got mine at Kresge’s ( I bought two )For 98 cents each . I got three more as gifts from relatives .It really must’ve hit a chord with the grown-ups cause my LHS couldn’t keep them in and all the buyers were adults ! That along with the Pontiac Club De Mer were some of his top movers . Along with the FORD Country Squire in 1/25 scale . All these by REVELL .

Now the originals command ridiculous prices on the collecters market ! If you can find them .

Now , I have to say . After all these gorgeous models ( The 57 and Tweety ) and all else . I am overwhelmed and Ashamed . I lost all postable stuff and am starting over , be patient please ?

Crownr7 - Whose Pfiel kit is that ?

I just make them up on paint.net and transfer them to office to then print them off on some card. The flags and badges were just downloaded and then resized and i have downloaded different fonts, such as USAF, RAF, Army, German and so on.

I saw a couple of other guys doing somthing similar a few years back and so just adopted it to what i wanted.

Here are my last three builds:

1/24 Pegasus Spinosaurus

1/48 Bronco MQ-1 Predator

1/48 Fine Molds TIE Fighter

Yeah, I like planes too, but, as you can see, I’ll build anything!

Also, I have to say, many impressive builds have been displayed in this thread.

Bravo, Gentlemen!

I’m self-conscious about posting, given the level of talent here. I need to work on my photo skills, but let me see if I can make this work:

International Scout II

Pontiac Firebird

Those look just fine to me Doc.

Thanks, I certainly appreciate it.

Love the scout.

I enjoy the subjects as much as the builds

Thanks. I’ve wanted to own a Scout for as long as I can remember. I live in an old IH town, and you still see Scouts here. If I ever hit the lottery…

This particular one caused me quite a bit of headaches, as the color I wanted was from Humbrol, but I discovered the hard way it didn’t play well with my thinner. I am happy with the final result though. Since that picture was taken, the antenna managed to get broken and has been replaced with a piece of guitar string, something I will do as a matter of course in the future. Just a better scale look in my opinion.

The picture is better on that one, because I was using my old Canon digital camera, which unfortunately seems to have died very recently. It served me well, making multiple long distance trips and surviving through deployment to Kuwait, among other fun things. The other two were taken with my phone’s camera. I may be able to get some better pics from it with better lighting, but I do want to upgrade to a DSLR.

As to subject matter, I agree with you, and I look for things that catch my eye. That explains why my stash has so much variety!
