    Thanks everyone! And the kit went together extremely well there is just alot more detail and time to put into a big scale kit.

    Thanks everyone! This build is quickly coming along. Got it cleared and wetsanded/polished. The bmf Is almost done. Also got the second color on the interior and got the motor sitting where it needs to. Thanks for looking.

    Thanks everyone! And it is actually the monogram 1/24 snap kit I put an ls1/t56 and a few other bits in lol.

    Well here is the old monogram nomad kit with some restomod touches lol. Pretty straight forward build. Ls swap, updated interior, big wheels and the body was cleaned up( door handles, emblems etc removed). Now it needs clear and then I can foil it ? Thanks for looking

    Well I built this from the foose issue of the 1/12 kit. This is my first big scale kit I have completed. Mostly box stock. Paint is a duplicolor gm color and the stripes are airbrushed on. I added the springs, vacuum lines, brake/fuel lines and other small details in the bay. Overall the kit was pretty decent to put together. There was a few fitment issues and the chrome plating is not very good. But the finished product came out very well. This will probably be my last finished build for 2018 ? Thanks for looking.

    Thanks everyone!

    Lol yeah what a pain! Glad you figured it out tho cause other the that I found the kit to be a breeze. I just trimmed the springs down till it sat the way I liked.

    Thanks everyone! The only issues I had with the autozam was the headlight fitment. Took awhile to get them fitted properly but in the end I got it figured out.

    Well here is my latest builds, a Honda beat and a Mazda autozam az1. A couple Japanese kei cars. I'm pretty happy with them since I have never built anything like them before lol. The autozam is box stock and the beat was lowered and photoetched emblems. Both have custom plates I made.

    So I finished this build up last week. It's a very high detailed kit with 540 pieces but there is some parts and assembly that could be done without. The kit has opening doors but I found the hinges so finicky I gave up on trying to get everything to fit. The roof and other panels didn't fit at all either. I built the model box stock and for colors I did u333d Smokey caramel metallic which was a rare color options available in the late 90's on most gm products. Overall I'm glad I built it because it is something different but the muilt piece body was not fun.

    Haha yes they say gaarich ? so this one is done and pics will be under glass!

    Got some color on this build

    Another little update on the hummer. Got some interior work done still lots to do.
  16. Jared Roach
    Well little update on the hummer. Got a rolling chassis and the engine built. So far so good.
  17. Jared Roach
    Thanks guys. I got this thing last week and couldn't wait. And as for color it's going to be mesa dusk or Smokey caramel metallic, code wa333d. The color was available on most gm products in the late 90's. Starting in 1999 for the hummer. My 1:1 sonoma is the same color. It's hard to photograph but in person is awesome.
  18. Jared Roach
    Managed to get a bit done on the chassis, lots more to do.
  19. Jared Roach
    Well this is the next build since I can't wait any longer to crack into it lol Only has 540 pieces ? so should be fun lol.

    So here is a quick build I pulled out mainly to try my airbrush compressor. It's a model master acrylic teal. Pretty much just building it box stock with all the optional drag parts.
  21. Jared Roach
    Just received these two in the mail
  22. Jared Roach
    Thanks everyone. This was actually built from a unopened original kit, but I picked up this rebuilder not too long ago just to show the difference between my build and the original.

    So I ended up building this for the meeting tomorrow night (anything 30's), just needs a few touch ups here and there tomorrow. I finished this one early this afternoon. A full 24 hrs from start to finish. Completely box stock and it's not my best work, but it was fun to just sit down and build something without worrying! Great kit and it has alot of nice detail, my first 32 I've ever built but probably won't be the last lol. It was nice to build something that pretty much fell together without major issues. I can't tell ya how long it's been since I did a 24hr build, and I didn't intend for this to be one, because I had three days ? but it went together that smooth I can say it's done early! Thanks for looking ?
