Sorry everyone, my 27th wedding anniversary was the 4th and we were gone all weekend. I will get to work today.

He only needs a banana seed for scale on that one. Seriously great 1/43 job.
Thank you sir. It was a fun little build!

Here's my current project... Tbird Super Coupe
Was going to paint it purple... but liked the silver base coat so much that I'm going to leave it silver!
In reply to Saron81 :
Sweet! That and the matching Cougar are pretty nice kits.
In reply to ZackM :
You guys that build those little nano-scale kits are amazing. Where do you usually get them from? My usual sources for car modeling, SpotModel and Hiroboy, only carry the crazy expensive ones. I'll usually only spend that kind of cash on an F-4 kit!
I'd be up for a "bring out your dead" build. I have a couple more partly built kits that I need some motivation to finish.
So we doing a new thread for September?

Yerah, does somebody else want to host? I think we agreed to "finish something" as the theme.
For those who liked the Jeep here is the in-depth video review of the kit and a full look at the build I did.

PM me your address and which kit you would like.
Not a model I'm building, but...
I don't know how many people here follow Adam Savage's Youtube channel, but he's slowly working on an amazing model of the Ecto-1 ambulance from Ghostbusters. It's a 1:8 scale kit from Eaglemoss.com that's 31.5" long. 
Not a car I'd be personally be interested in building, but it's still pretty cool (they also make a couple other giant model kits, check their website.)

Anything planned for January?
In reply to solfly :
Good question! Yeah, we can do a January build.
I was going to volunteer to run it. I have a kit for a prize. I was thinking of doing an "alternate scale" challenge, meaning anything other than 1/24 or 1/25. I have a 1/32 kit lurking (but will make myself exempt from winning).
I'm also going to host a movie/TV car replica build sometime but need to research a bit more before doing what I want as I will have to scratch build part of it.
Let me know your thoughts. If these are too limiting we can just do another 'run what ya brung' style contest.
In reply to ddavidv :
I love the "Alternate Reality" class! Why don't you host? I'm in to build!
Oh man, I have a pile of 1/43 unbuilts.
I have a few smaller scale kits as well
I still have the little half built Honda Z600 that I could probably finish if I stop doing everything else.
Guess I need to buy that 1:20 scale Corvette I've been eyeing on eBay.
I have some options for 1/32 scale, and also possibly 1/43 scale. I'm in.
In for odd scale
I guess we're a go. I'll start a new thread for the January build.
Any suggestions for 1/18 or larger scale kits that are readily available?
In reply to solfly :
AMT has been re-releasing some of the 1/16 scale kits recently.
