February’s model challenge: Speedweeks

I have a kit I'll throw out as a second place prize. 
Too many sweet builds this month for only one person to get something! 

The Ferrari 250GT is done, well to the same degree as Saron's spectacular T-Bird, as the paint is still wet on the coils, so they are not installed. I have a couple other stalled projects that I opened the doors on. I don't think I am going to do it again, the work involved didn't yield enough extra impression on this one for sure. Very difficult kit even to build stock. I wanted to install the rear bumper, but it was far from fittable.

Here's as far as I made it.

And the chassis

Perhaps for July we can have the "Firecracker 400 at Daytona (finish all our unfinished NASCAR models from February)" theme. 

I for one needs to slow down. I count 8-10 builds in a year. After the C7.R I'm gonna build the 1:20 scale Vette I bought last month.

Who dropped the ball on doing the vote?

Wally to the red courtesy phone please, Wally.

His only excuse would be finishing the box truck from two contests ago.

After rush hour I'll get it up. The past couple days have been a zoo.

I've got a dollar on this meaning at least one actual live animal in Wally's house and/or workplace.

Finally, in no particular order here are all of February's models. Another round of incredible work.

I gotta vote for Saron's Thunderbird, but all of the builds came out nice. Good work y'all!

Two things: the pics are all squashed. But they look "cute" that way!

T-bird gets my vote.

All the pics have been skewed for me since the site seemed to be down last night. ??

Another vote for sauron's T-Bird. Lots of great builds this month!

Saron's T-Bird by a nose over Claff's Chevy.

Everything I post here seems to be oddly misshapen, much like myself.  I'll leave the voting up fit the rest of the day but it's looking like the Aerobird is running away, again. 

Tough call for me again this month. I love the extra work put into Turners 250, and it's such a pretty little car with its photo etched grill! The 330 is one of my all time favorite race cars though, and Bens model is VERY well done. But then I also like VWs Cale car. Extra crisp paintwork and a really clean build out of a kit that looks like it wasn't easy to do that with. I also like Claffs MC. It's a car I've never seen built with a cool livery. I would've never noticed the flaws he pointed out. We are our own harshest critics! David's dirt tracker was a clean build of a different subject that I usually don't see as well. Cool outside the box build! I was looking forward to seeing the AMC and Sachs cars come together... keep us posted if they get finished! Great work all around this month! Let me know where to send my kit. 
1) 250 GTO

2) 330 

3) Cale 

Side note.. all my pics are fixed this morning (except for wallys post that must've quoted the oddly shaped ones) 

I literally cannot decide. Every finished kit has excellent paint and detail and a clean overall presentation. I am gobsmacked by the results here. 

Saron's #9 Coors car gets my first place vote

ddavid's #7 Modified second place vote

BenB's Ferrari third

Saron's Coors bird FTW

It looks like the runaway winner is Saron's T-Bird. Sent me your info and I'll get your kit in the mail,

In reply to Wally (Forum Supporter) :

Message sent! 
Really appreciate the votes guys! It is the best NASCAR I've ever built... and is one of my favorites instantly. 

Thanks again! 

I haven't given up!
