Thanks Chris!

Thanks for sharing Matthew. It's always fun to go back and look at our previous builds and see how we progressed along the way. It's great to see you passed along your skills to Ruthie. Her Chevelle still looks awesome. Can't wait to see here Porsche completed. Nice progress on your old Ford. I like how you are taking your time on it to make it as realistic as possible. Be safe and keep the videos coming. 👍👍

lol, Matthew when I first started building kits over 55-years ago, I didn't always even paint them!!! If I didn't have money for paint and didn't want to wait, I built the model, anyway. I remember a '60's Lincoln convertible that was molded in white, and I built it that way! And on a lot of kits, if they were molded in color, that's how I built it. Don't worry about those old paint jobs and decals on your shelf. Your old builds still look good!

Cool look at the old builds, Matthew! You should get Ellie to 3D print some placards with the model year and name to display in front of the models on the shelf.

Nice looking builds Matthew, Ruthie chevelle really looks great , great and thumbs up for the teacher thank you for sharing now get that 30 , and the 26 ford done Matthew lol

Nice builds Matthew. Happy Fathers Day

Again, its always great to look back at some of the older builds and i remember when you built some of these when i first started following your channel. I realize I've built a number of these kits. The first blue 4-4-2 with the maroon convertible version is a 1966 because the grille and headlights were different on the 1967, the Impala is a '67 and i painted mine that same color, and i had the Hurst Olds for a number of years. I think Ruthie's multi award winning Chevelle is a 1970 and i had that one as well.

👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks

Great looking builds Matt. I had a gremlin when i was younger. cool little car.

My cousin had a Gremlin with a 232 straight 6. it was awesome

Oh if I could only keep all mine that clean!

Hi Ray, Just read your comment, like you Indid the same and stopped in 1979ish made the Monogram TRY,Capri and lastly the Firebird Turbo then got into real cars my best was a 70 GTO. But now after 45ish years I made a 65 Mustang 'no paint' then a 68 Mustang painted with a brush in red and now working on another 65 Mustang in dark blue, I luv the challenge of painting with a brush and do them single colour as found I luv the look of 'Promo Models'. Happy modelling and best wishes to yourself,family.

Nice video Matthew! I have fun looking back at my old builds,,,and cringe at my new builds!! Regressing I guess? But nice to look back.

Great old kits they all look great to me 👍🏿

Lol, I just watched the 72 GTO build; it's MCW, you were pretty thrilled about that one!

It's to go back and see what you did and remember how you did it.

Nice builds 😁

The green 69 Chevelle resembles one of mine. Similar color. 😊

Awesome builds Matt!!! It was fun watching you and Ruthie completing these kits. Great colors and great subjects. The more we build the better we become at building. Enjoy your weekend.

The gauge on the console is a vacuum gauge. My dad had a 66 with tri power and a 4 spd

That top h9se on the Gremlin isn't going to anything, watch out it gonna overheat 😅 The bumper on the GTX was glued under the bumper gap panel. I remember all these. The Testors paint was really good back then.

Your Nova is a 1966 L-79 350 hp 327 Al Midon

The grille calls it : 1966 Dr.Boogie Lee Farnsworth

Impala is a 67. 68 had side marker lights

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA You ably execute your build of this kit, the weathering subtle yet noticeable, as appropriate for combat over the north Atlantic. Your account of the New Zealander Flying (Flight?) Officer Lloyd Trigg sacrificing himself in doggedly, relentlessly pursuing the Unterseeboot (literally “under sea boat”) in a fight to the death is one of the most poignant I ever have read or heard! I have in mind a somewhat similar project as yours, except that I would envision building for it the Hobby Boss 1:32nd-scale kit of the Consolidated B-24D Liberator USAAF Heavy Bomber, converting it to a replica of a Consolidated PB4Y-1 Liberator U.S. Navy Maritime Convoy Patrol Bomber in the USN mid-war camouflage scheme, with its engines running, its landing gear retracted, its control surfaces deflecting appropriately for a shallow dive, its forward bomb bay doors open; I would position the aircraft model roughly sixty scale metres (almost two actual metres) over a 1:35th-scale kit of the conning tower and a portion of the upper hull of a DKM Typ VIIc U-Boat as it suddenly succumbs to the fearsome simultaneous blasts of a pair of air-dropped 160 kg U.S. Navy depth charges detonating at that very instant! (This target would be from Border Model’s BS-001 1:35th-scale plastic model kit of a DKM Typ VIIc U-Boat conning tower and deck. Also, the Liberator model upon completion would be nearly 105 cm, or over 41 inches, in wingspan.) A similar project would be building Hobby Boss’s 1:48th-scale kit of the B-24D Liberator Heavy Bomber as a model of the PB4Y-1 Liberator U.S. Navy Convoy Patrol Bomber, again the landing gear retracted, the engines running, its control surfaces appropriately deflected for a shallow dive, the forward bomb bay doors open. Here, I would place immediately beneath the convoy’s aerial guardian a Trumpeter 1:48th-scale DKM VIIc U-552 U-Boat kit (06801). Incidentally, if you are of a mind to build the latter, one can replicate much of its interior, including several crew figures; it also has transparent hull pieces to display it all! Trumpeter advertises its length upon completion as being 139.83 cm or 55.0 inches (4 feet 7 inches)! (The actual vessel is 67.10 metres [220 feet 2 inches] in length overall. Coincidentally, the submarine is almost exactly twice in length as a B-24D/PB4Y-1/Liberator I is in wingspan!) My personal favourite engagement of all the Second World War centres upon a Liberator engaged in anti-submarine convoy patrol over the north Atlantic; I never have been able to determine whether it was a USAAF B-24D (prior to the Navy assuming the task) or a USN PB4Y-1. Whilst making a great, slow circle round a large number of heavily loaded Liberty ships, the crew of the four-engine aircraft saw approaching from the east six (6) Junkers JU-88A-6 twin-engine Schnellbomber (fast bomber; the first prototype Ju 88 V1, on Monday, 21 December, 1936, when it first flew managed to reach a speed of about 580 km/h [360 mph], which was fast for the day; however, operational units heavily laden with ordnance slowed significantly), armed with two external torpedoes inboard of the engine nacellles. To make their attack run, they had descended to round a hundred metres above the ocean. The much denser air greatly diminished their speed even further, too. However, the B-24’s much larger Davis wing gave the bigger aerial combatant greater lift and stability, which was of much greater utility in this unusual engagement. Taking advantage of all these factors, the Navy plane commander boldly turned his mighty warbird into their formation and accelerated as he dove to close the distance, immediately breaking up their arrangement and scattering them into disarray. More heavily armed than the intruders-eleven or twelve heavy machine-guns to four lighter guns and a 20-mm cannon on the JU-88s-the big bomber quickly shot down two foes, sending them down into the cold, windswept Atlantic in mid-winter, then soon damaged two others, who in their desperation to avoid ditching at sea broke off their attack run, jettisoned their heavy ordnance, and turned to flee for the French coast hundreds of kilometres away. The remaining two similarly turned in panicked rout (source: B-24 Liberator In Action, David Doyle [Squadron/Signal Publications: Carrollton, TX, ISBN 978-0-89747-664-5]).

I've noticed 2 models nobody has ever built.their historic models.chevy corvair & Chevy Vega.

It’s a 66

How do you keep them so clean?

They stay in the display case. They do get a little dusty

Or is it toluene fumes?

Drink much? 1967
