Recently completed projects, repair jobs, and other stuff:

         
 
 
  '86 Corvette Indy Show Car
  Back in 1986, Chevrolet built a revolutionary concept car as a way of showing future design direction for the Corvette.  They started with a non-functional car made of clay and painted silver, and then followed it up with two working prototypes in red with assorted changes.  Over the course of this project, we will actually build 3 models of the silver concept car.  The first will be an all new model based on a 1/25 scale Revell kit.  We'll also perform some repairs on a finished 1/25 scale model of the same car from another manufacturer.  Finally, we'll build a 1/43 scale resin kit of the famed Corvette Indy.

  1934 Packard Coupe
  Our client is a real fan of the '34 Packard, and wants models of each of the different body styles.  Franklin Mint obliges with their rendition of the Convertible Sedan, which we will use as a starting point to build replicas of the Coupe and Coupe Convertible.  This is the beauty of collecting model cars -- owning all of the vehicles you love without the expense of the real thing.
