Great score!!

since im a sign painter i always have one shot on hand ive painted a few models with tamiya and for me it just wasnt quite what i wanted one shot with hardener can be buffed out if you get a blimish

Wild! Following this for sure!!

I've often wondered if it was a single reservoir system on this Comet when things went down...

Thanks. I looked around but must have used the wrong search terms. I kept finding modern harnesses and vintage passenger car seatbelts.

Burbank's House of Hobbies has been getting some cool old kits in so I indulged and picked up a couple more. Yesterday I picked up a 74 AMT Mustang II kit and a Hawk Monte Carlo. I wanted to get one of these since I was about ten. They also had the Moebius (formerly Galaxie) 40's Chevy kits so I picked up a Coupe kit. We had our club meeting last night and some guys brought some kits to sell. I acquired a Revell 67 GTX (Sox & Martin), Fujimi Ferrari Daytona, Moebius Golden Commandos AWB car and a couple other things.

Beautiful 281. Well done.

While researching my Mercedes Sprinter rally van, I came across this van. Now I want to build something like it too. Any suggestions for this type of grill to go with the AMT Chevy van as I've got a couple of that kit. Were the vans the same except for the grill?

Great looking Red Express. Well done.

That's what I painted my Badman with. I mixed a purple from red and blue,cut it with lacquer thinner and shot away! It flows out, so nicely.

Following!

Very cool and very well done! I love Scooby Doo and this one really hits the awesome factor!

1) The original issue wheels were plated, but they were also molded open, as they are in the reissue. 2) There were no "recessed black areas" on the stock wheels; it's more of a medium/graphite gray. As you can see in the pic below (1985 Fiero GT), those recessed areas just kind of blend into shadows at scale viewing distances. You could probably replicate the effect with something like Tamiya's grey panel line accent or a simple gray wash.

I have a 1984 Corvette brochure. picked up (I had to pay for it!) at the local Chevy dealer when the C4 first came out.

THIS!!! ^^^ I always put my name on things I do, because if I do something and it's wrong or breaks, I will figure out why on both accounts. I try and teach our new guys this, and they don't care, they don't understand it. 1000000000000000000000000x facts!!! Exactly! Too many go the easy route! I hear this adnauseum at work all the time, and I fire back with.. was it there sweat or blood that did this? And they go no, and I follow with.. why are they getting my money this will make. The uppers shut up then because they know I will grill them to the ground.

BMW Z3 M Coupe. A BMW SUV cutting in and out of traffic. The license plate said MEEFRST. Of course....

This one is stunning! Eye candy every time I see it!

This is the truck I recently showed in the WIP forum. The 1982 era Monogram snap-tite roots of the kit made it a surprisingly uncomplicated and straightforward build. License plates and fuel tax tabs are attached along with vintage style "Northwest Trucking" door logos, I added a few accessories, made it a single stack, and even added some stainless steel chains wrapped around the tail end of the frame.

After some time in the freezer I was able to get some of the parts apart. There was a little damage, but nothing I can't handle. I glued the rear axle back together and used some evergreen tubing to add some support. I glued the roof and was able to find the missing chuck. The kit comes with an overhead console, so that will add some support. More next time.

All of your Chryslers are cool. 👍. I wish they would come out with the 68 Newport but I've never seen one. Closest thing is the 300.

thanks everyone for the comments & likes! Time to "put it under glass"

Kobalt pole saw. So far…so good.

Looks great. Those are some small fixings!!

The old guys that gave a sh.t made things to last because their name was on it. Now it’s just greed. I’m trying to teach this guy about (your name is on the repair) but some people do not care. I’m disgusted with the current situation.
