Another vintage build from 1982

This Revell Lil John Buttera 1926 Ford Model T Sedan was originally built by me in 1982. It was recently cleaned up and reassembled. I’ve always loved this kit and its variants.

Fad T Bucket build from 1984

I have been posting my repaired old builds and here is another. I finished this kitbashed Fad T Bucket in 1984 and just repaired all of the parts that had broken off over time. I have to still find some suitable taillights.

Top question: Black, Tan, or no top? I can’t decide.

Some of my Sto & Go stuff

I’m still collecting the accessories for the Action Command set so I don’t have that one out yet. I have all seven of the original blackwall era folding S&G sets. I still have to get a display case for the other three not shown.

1977 Transition cars

I have a large collection the late 1977 transitional cars. I love the ones with the redline stripe divot. Lots of stuff was carried over from early 1977 and the previous year.

My TRASK TRUCKs

These were an extremely early run with an obvious l spelling error. Very few were packaged before the problem was noticed. The fix was a correctly spelled sticker that is very common. I changed the brightness on the sticker card to show what is underneath.

Cleaning and rebuild of AMT 1940 Ford built in 1986

I originally built this 1940 Ford Coupe turned convertible in 1986. I built it from a first issue AMT Trophy Series kit. Lots of mods and kit bashing on this one. It was built before any of the Pro Street kits were available. I hand made the treaded tires. I’m slowly cleaning and rebuilding all of my old builds, so stay tuned for more. Please look past the flaking 40 year old paint….🤣👍

I recently cleaned an old Syclone build of mine.

I built this around 1992 when this Revell kit came out. I wanted a basic GMC Sonoma, so none of the Syclone parts were installed. I built it as a curbside because I just wanted to do a quick and dirty custom paint version. I cleaned and detailed it recently so it can sit proudly in my display cabinet. Enjoy.

I started this Revell Outlaw 41 years ago

I painted and put decals on this Revell Ed Roth Outlaw kit 41 years ago and just assembled it today. Somehow it survived 4 moves, two wives, two children, and a career. Some of the parts have been lost to time and the pearl paint didn’t age well, but it’s in one piece! I have been going through my older kits and organizing them recently. I’ll post some of my older finished builds here as well as my final assemblies of long stored kits.
