I got to digging back into some old photos and decided that I should probably post some of these old builds that I probably have not posted before, and if I have, it was a long time ago. These models are from a far gone era when I was still building minimally, with very few additions and limited detail. This was back when I was pumping them out, one every few weeks to a couple of months, and when I was still honing many of my paint, foil and general detailing skills. Even though these models are far from my best efforts, they are representative of the progression of my modeling skills, and in the end, I suppose they should get some exposure and a little love too. This is a Johan/X-EL 1961 Dodge Dart, and the date on the photos say that they were taken in 2012. Not as far back as I had anticipated, but I'm pretty confident that the model was built some time prior to that. Could have been as much as 10 years earlier. It's become very difficult for me to track time anymore. In any case, it's an old curbside build from a time gone by, so please don't expect much. My photography skills back then were obviously even worse than my building skills.

If this is you "sharpening your skills" then I have a lot longer to go than I thought to catch up. Very, very nice! Also, I have never seen this kit. What a beautiful car!

Very nice build. All that chrome is outstanding. I know what you mean about "tracking time". Three things happen when you get old. First you lose your memory and I forget what the other two are.
