Pyro German postal car. This is a vintage model kit, not a Jada model.

Some great looking work in this thread!

I'm just getting back into scale modelling after an almost 20 year break, but I've accumulated a bunch of kits over the years. No photos available of my older builds at this time (they're half a continent away from me until December), but here's my current build...and the first build I've done in a LONG time.

Stock, out of the box, no modifications to the kit.

These are actually 60's style slot cars, but use some model parts.

The Dynamic Delivery is based on the "High Roller" bus model kit. It sits on a Dynamic 36d chassis.

and the other is a 60's style dragster with a blown V8, suicide front end, and headers blowing out the front wheel wells. It's on a home grown chassis with an old Pittman motor.

A lot of great builds. I like the popout windows on the Tamiya.

Here's another vintage Pyro, or rather half a Pyro.

I built the Panama Herbie from Herbie Goes Bananas. "Rustoration" is by Yann Picard of Quebec.

Attended a NNL Model Car Show today. Even though the word Volkswagen is spelled wrong, it was a pretty good turn out. They had a VW class with a nice trophy. In Clemmons, NC.

Great stuff! I hope you bought that Monogram Goin' Buggy kit. You don't see those every day.

Was that doublecab ever a kit, or is it custom?

Double was never a kit, sadly; if that one wasn't modified from an existing Hasegawa Bus or Single, it may be a resin body from www.scaleproductions.de - and I'm pretty sure they went out of business not long ago.
