- Built this scale model Vette as a kid in 1987. loved it! ... haven't really done model cars since. decided to try it again!
built with same set up options as I did back then.
1/25 scale model
scale model supercharger
scale model race slices
scale craiger style mag wheels
side exhaust
You made a tough kit look good! Glad you rejoined the hobby, as you can enjoy it with the skills you acquired over the years
Thanks!
That corvette was my re-introduction to model building as well. Yours is much better! The professionalism out there now compared to my old glue-sniffing days is extraordinary.
Covid was a big help to expand my model collection, now I have been working on all my favorite cars and planes that I only saw in museums or someone else’s driveway.
Awesome! ...wish I could afford a couple real versions of these! Lol
Great job I’m 67 years old and just started my first build since 50 years. A revell 71 Cuda 426 and parts need tweaking, but that’s half the fun.
Nice! Have fun with it!
Great job buddy, just got back into modeling myself. Same thing been a long time . Becomes overwhelming at times Especially seeing what other guys are putting out. The model world has changed so much in 50 years. Like I said before a great job feels good to get back into makes me feel like a kid again
Thanks! Hope you have fun with it too!
Great job on your builds. It will get easier as you progress!!
Those are awesome builds and you did a great job! That's coming from a pro car builder of models to full size show cars.
Nice! Thank you!
Great job on both builds
I appreciate your honesty all though you don't give yourself enough credit. You do good work. At 63 I am retired and too have found myself back into plastic model drilling after 40 some years. I have a lot to.learn as my first build being the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier looks a bit amateurish. I bought the AMT '63 split window myself and am getting ready to tackle it over the next couple of weeks. Again great job.
Thank you very much! And good luck with your 63, have fun with it!
Nice build man! The '63 is my favorite year of the Vette! And airbrushing is something that takes time to manipulate but you'll get there!
Thanks! Always been my favorite too. Ever since I bought this model kit as a kid!
Excellent builds.
Thanks!
Bro, you did an outstanding job on this model.. Remember, if you like it, it doesn't matter what someone else thinks.. I always say that I try to learn something every time I build a kit..I think you did an outstanding job.
I hear ya brother, always something to do .
Great job on both builds. I may be a little sceptial,. I’m 66 years old and recently got back into modeling. Please don’t be offended if I say that, that, judging from what I’ve gotten back into, but that looks a bit more experienced than someone who just built their first couple of projects in that time frame. I apologize in advance if I’m wrong. If you’re that skilled, good on you. If that being the case, maybe you can hone your skills and you could be a model master and a show winner.
@@CrappyBuilder Thank you! To be fair, I've always had artistic skills, and I dabble in customizing old toys.
I just haven't done a model car or plane since I was a kid!
Look pretty damn good to me .. nice job bro. Looking forward to seeing your future builds 😊👍🏻
Thanks!
Finally someone made decent looking AMT Vette. Been browsing videos for some time now, and most of them are really medium. This one is great. Especially considering you had 35 year lay off lol.
Hey thanks man! This was my dream car when I was 13. Still love it!
@@LastBastian You got it! I'm Vette fan my whole life, so looking forward for more builds!
@@loganit0 Awesome! ...wish the real C2's were more affordable! Haha!
This kit is very basic with not a lot of great detailing. With that and the fact that you haven’t built a model in 35 years you did an incredible job. Keep at it and your models in the future will be amazing.
Thank you!
Too great looking builds.🤓👍
Thanks!
Good looking build!! 🤙🏼
Thanks!
Looks great! I do believe that the valve covers are on upside down. Four bots on the bottom, three on top.
Ahh. Instructions were not very clear. And I'm not very experienced.
..if only someone would lend me their supercharged 63 Vette, I could learn a bit more. 😁
good looking build
Thanks!
Great job,car stance is perfect for that build. Back after 40 years on and off aswell. Still learning everyday,keep at it
Thanks!
Good Work! Compadre!! Keep it up!!

Trying to finish up the same model kit an it just won't let me lol!! It's a nightmare to get everything to line up. Can't let it beat me lol!! You did a great job on it.
Thanks! Yeah this thing fought me every step of the way! Good luck!
Thanks buddy you also. You still building ?
I have too many hobbies, lol! Always working on *something.*
I have a couple hot rod car models that I want to do, but haven't found the time yet.
What engine option did you use
