Scale models I’ve built over the years
Kit: Monogram 1990 Lotus Turbo Esprit 1/24 Scale I completed this model sometime late in high school in the early to mid ’90s. I originally did this model in the John Player Special Green/Yellow. I felt like that didn’t come out as well so I went all out on this version. To this day I consider it to …
Kit: MPC ERTL Dodge Stealth This is one of those second time around kits. I built a very nice red/tan version of this car before but gave it away as a present. At the time there was a great modern Smokey & the Bandit TV knock-off “Bandit” The hero drove a black Dodge Stealth and I …
Kit: Monogram Mark Martin Ford Taurus Kit 1/24 Scale Most of my worst models growing up were Nascar kits. I’ve done about a half dozen of them, all of which are long gone. They practically disentegrated before my eyes. The decals peeled off, the frame broke up, the seats fell out, the glass fell off, …

Kit: Maisto Die-Cast 1992 Ford Explorer 1/24 Scale To understand this model, you may want to know I saw the original ‘Jurassic Park’ in the theater no less than 15 times. It was a sort of obsession, plus it gave me and my dad something to do together when we were a bit distant. To …
Kit: Monogram 1980s Jeep Wrangler CJ 1/24 Scale When you’ve got almost nothing to work with, start with that.. I guess. – 15 year old Me. As stated in the Ford Explorer page, I saw the original ‘Jurassic Park’ in the theater no less than 15 times. After making the Explorer model, I tried making …
Kit: Monogram 1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula 1/24 Scale Nothing more than a paint test in preparation for another model, I whipped this thing together in 2 days. Such a beautiful car, such a basic kit. The entire interior is flat black, the engine was pretty simple, and the paint is one of my best jobs. …
Kit: ERTL 1993 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 1/24 Scale This one came out a bit rough. My enthusiasm wasn’t particularly high on this build. I intended to make the lights pop up but there is absolutely NO room to do ANYTHING to this kit. No place to put batteries, suspension, anything. The car is built 100% box …
Kit: Monogram Heavy Chevy Chevelle 3 in 1 1/24 Scale I got this kit from a friend who started the engine build probably 15-20 years before and then put it away. This happened to be my favorite year of Chevelle and the kit was free to me so I figured what did I have to …
Kit: Monogram 1980s Lamborghini Countach 1/24 Scale This model originally was intended to be a regular Lamborghini Countach, but my $2 open box model purchase at a garage sale turned out to be not such a good investment. It didn’t have instructions, which made it a challenge enough, and it was also missing enough parts …
Kit: RC2 AMT ERTL 2006 Camaro Concept 1/25 Scale I built this car in early 2008 after seeing the live action Transformers movie several times. I absolutely LOVED the new Bumblebee Camaro. Thankfully AMT/ERTL got the rights to release the concept Camaro kit, which was exactly like the car in the movie. The main feature …
