1956 Chevy Bel Air

1955 Chevy Nomad

"This is my AMT Chevy stepside pickup. It's my idea of a work-in-progress shop truck. It was painted Testor's Model Master Fifties Aqua over a red primer base.The drivers side is a gray primer. The model was finished off with dull clear and weathering. I added wire for the coat hanger antenna...

"This build is box-stock. The interior has a couple shades of tan to match the gloss black exterior."

"Do you remember the days when you didn't need a front-wheel-drive or a all-wheel SUV to drive in the winter? When all you needed was a set of studded snow tires and a trunk loaded with extra weight? This is my tribute to old winter beaters. This is an AMT 1964 Impala SS kit built basically...

"This AMT 1950 Chevy pickup is finished with in Dupli-Color VHT Burnt Copper, with eBay 20-inch snowflake wheels. This was my first time with Alclad II."

"My 1/25-scale work truck."

"This was a box-stock build, retaining the 'as molded color' but spraying the rear of the car charcoal metallic. The interior was detailed with black trim as required."

The basis of this truck was the Mean Mudder kit that I modified by stretching the frame, raising the cab roof, and fabricating a sleeper cab to it. The dirt bike is from the kit, and modern surfboards were added. The external cage was the most fun to build and really adds to the build. The base was from...

From this angle, it shows how the roof of the cab was slanted up to join the sleeper shell and the rear cab wall was removed to provide access. The external roll bar incorporates the overhead rack and mounts the off-road lights. I retained the rear section of the cargo bed for gas cans, tool boxes, and...

This kit has a flip-nose front end and a Pro Stock hood scoop. I added the 1966 stock version to my collection years ago, so this was made into a race car. I did not paint the body, just decals and clear coat. Several modifications were done to make this a strip warrior.

This is something that wasn't found in the new car showrooms, but should have been.

This Chevy is a stock build except for the black vinyl roof and a few details not offered with the kit.

Custom 1941 Chevy pickup.

This Chevy was painted Platinum Metallic (Model Master), and the interior has a couple shades of matching tans. I used wheels and tires from my stock to give it a performance look. The rear of the car, raised a bit, compliments the effect.

This is a Monogram 1955 Chevy Bel Air Street Machine. The wheels, tires, and rear end are from the 1970 1/2 Baldwin Motion Camaro. The big-block is 427 from a Revell 1968 Corvette. I used parts-box headers and pipes. It was painted Model Master black enamel with clear.

This is a detailed replica of my dad's 1959 Corvette. I grew up with this car in the garage, and got to ride in it every summer until I was 13, when my dad sold it. We still miss the car, but I was able replicate it in 2002 using Monogram's "expert" level kit. It still ranks among my...

This Chevy was painted pastel yellow, with a gold interior. Modifications include white headers, wheels, track bars, and chrome exhaust tips.

This is one of three kits I bought on special seven years ago. The paint is Testor's spray that was purchased in 1990 -- good shelf life! I kitbashed the 409.

1/12 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

I wanted it to look like a 1980s street machine. It won Top Street Machine at a model car show out of 200 other model cars.

Two very nicely detailed 1962 Chevy Impalas.

My wife saw this kit at a Michael's store and liked it. She wanted me to match the one on the box. It is box-stock except for the seats and the wheels from my parts bin. The paint is Testor's white enamel, and the top color is Testor's wood. I top coated with Testor's clear pearl.
