These have been built over the last couple years since getting back into the hobby. Slowly adding more as I go... 100% accurate? Nope... but they do look the part to me..
The Batmobile - Batman Series
Bullitt The time machine - BTTF The General Lee - DOH Dazed and Confused Christine Bumblebee - Transformers Eliminator - ZzTop |

Those are all VERY cool rides Jeremy but I really like that Bullit Mustang. I think I built that one with my son around 13 years ago and it was the one that had the metal body. I think I've still got that one too.

Thanks Joe. Much appreciated!
I remember the Bullit mustang being a pretty sweet straight forward build.
On the flipside... the General Lee and Eliminator.. not so much

I sourced the parts and worked on that one off and on for like a year Those Revell Chargers really are all that. Something that really goes good on these Chargers are the wheels from the AMT Eckler Corvette which is what I used with some big and little tire combo. Frickin' sharp look on these cars. I'll be doing a Bullitt II '68 Charger coming up that I'm going to do pretty much the same way with the big and littles with dog dish hub caps. |

The last model contest I've been around was probably 30 yrs ago at a car show here in town. I was one of only 2 entries  |

I don't know where in TN you are, but according to the IPMS calendar there's a Knoxville show on May 20. I'd totally enter that as "Movie Cars" in the collection category!

Shows provide me with SO much build motivation it isn't even funny. The fact that I've been to one show in the last three years because of that little pandemic thing has hurt my output in a BIG way.

Tell me about it. I plan on making it to the Nats in New Braunfels this August I think it is. I'll be taking a handful of my "winners" just to see how they'll stack up there but the real fun is going to be meeting folks. |

Great builds, a fine collection !
Yeah try the shows out, theres no shows anymore anywhere near me, Id love to still be competing...
They provide an oppertunity to meet new friends, buy more kits and mostly give you a kick to keep building !
