I've got 2 at the moment that I am particularly proud of.

Image
I'm happy with the way everything worked together on this one. It's a fantasy livery based on a real wine label. But the design worked well with the car. The decals went on well. The decals were printed by Phil Kalbfell from artwork that I provided to him. The blue is almost a perfect match for the label which is always a bonus when it comes from a spray can. Just everything worked well together.

And this one is just one of the best finishes I've achieved yet and it hasn't been cut and polished.
Image

I'm sure I will come up with better ones in the future. But for now these are my favourites.

Just a basic white car but it came out slick as glass, a favorite scratch build of mine

Aw Harry, you remembered. I think it may be one of your best, too, but I'm biased. I always loved that one.

Lynne, that Jag is still the world beater.

Mark, Not only do I remember it, I remember that car is in the center column of your website page!

Nice thread!

I'm kind-of proud of this one, did it quite a while back from a Slot.it white kit, with decals made by a friend on an ALPS printer. I am not good at painting on the outside!

Image

Then, does this qualify? There's only white paint inside this vacformed shell, the rest is all home made decals:

That's very impressive decaling, for sure.

WOW.
There's some talented folk on here. They are outstanding.

Even although I'm on a Tran Am kick right now. I still love my 70's F1 cars, and this is my fave repaint. Not a completely accurate colour, but I figured at the time "that it's my car and I paint it the way I want to".

I don't really have a favourite. I like most of the cars I make & each have there own reason why I like them.

My most enjoyable car I have built & driven on the track would have to be my 1961 Plymouth police car. It just went together super nice & it all came together with no issues. Just a pleasure to build & without doubt the most fun driving car I have driven. I think the reason why its so fun to drive as it has ultra slim cheese cutter tires. To give you an idea of the width of the tires it has Front H&R wheels all round that I chopped 2/3rds off the width. Its quite a challenge to drive. Also with working siren & flashing light, just a hoot!

Image

Another car worth mentioning is my 1970 Javelin TA team. They fought me all the way & I really didn't think I would ever finish them. Mainly warping & massive cleanup needed. Also nothing seemed to fit. These would have to be up there as a favourite just due to the fact I finished them.

Stunning model. Best looking NSR in our hobby.

Good thing I am not biased.

I am going to have to say this is my favorite...

These other 2 are a close second though.
