  • AMT 1970 Ford Galaxie Police Car Build Finale!!!
    What a fun build!! Thank you Bruce from Bruce’s Eclectic World for sending me this kit. I sure had a B-Blast with it. The kit went together so nicely, and there were almost zero problems with it. Mold lines and flash were not a problem as there was almost none to be found. I am super happy with the operation of both the Gaahleri Mobius .3mm and the Swallowtail. They preformed flawlessly. The Arduino worked great, but the A24 battery doesn’t hold a charge for more than a couple of hours with just three LEDs being used. I had fun with the doughnut box on the font seat. Also, I want to interduce everyone to Teri our new Police Detective Sergeant. She came all the way from Las Vegas to move back to her old stomping grounds at Hobby Town.

    Beautiful work Mark, and you’re right black is the show all, most unforgiving color to spray, but when you get it right, as you did here, all is great!!

      Thank you very much. It's nice to finally have the right tools to get black to lay down. I've struggled with it for so long that honestly if this kit wasn't sent to me for the Texaco station I wouldn't have ever done it just because of the black. Now I need to get some cotton gloves to handle it. LOL Have a great day.

      I have to thank you, I don't think I would have ever picked up this kit, and I had so much fun building it. I can't wait for the weather to get nice again so I can take this and a few roadsters out and have some picture fun. I learned so much while I was building this kit, and truly enjoyed every minute of it. You know that this made me think that sometime after I finish the Texaco station I'll have to build a City Center for this and the rescue squad truck that I'm going to build here real soon. Thank you again my friend.

I will be doing a photo shoot sometime soon (when the weather warms up) where I have all my cars lit up outside with a sunset or sunrise. I've been planning on taking them and the Texaco Station somewhere where I can set them all up at dawn or dusk to take some very cool pictures. Something like a Friday Night car show. I think someday I'll do an OSP car with the MPC cruiser kit, or a combination of that kit and this one. It will fit right in at the City Center building that I plan on building this summer.
