Still haven't built a Chevy pickup model. Have priorities, you know.
Entered 7 models in a regional IPMS contest recently, got 6 awards. The one that took the least amount of time got 2, the
Dodge Stealth Indy Beater, done for the Model Car Magazine forum, Lee Iacocca Memorial build; class was
'factory stock' that was split into newer years. The
VW Beetle was my parents car, done from a photo, back-dated from 1966 to 1960 and scratch-built the skis and cargo, class was
'factory stock' split into older years. The
Porsche 959 Paris-Dakar is based on the
Tamyia 959, with a resin transkit that came from Russia, it's weathered like it just finished the rally; the class was
'closed circuit competition' with Formula 1 and other paved circuit race cars. The
Ferrari 275P was kitbashed with a
Ferrari 360 Modena, call it the
Mongrel, the ultimate in sacrilege and blasphemy; class was
'custom'. The
Porsche 904 was kitbashed with the ill-fated
Porsche March Indy race car, call it
Porndy; class was
'straight line competition' competed against drag cars, the Big Bend Open Road Race is 188 miles of straights. The last two are 1964 vintage Monogram kits. I have a collection of kits, they were meant to be built, you know?
