  1. Nice. What did you use for suspension? Also what did you paint the wheels with.
  2. Nice group of models. Wish I could have made the show.
  3. Thanks . Do you prefer the revell sportsman kits for ghese conversions?
  4. Home stretch looking good. Looking forward to it being finished.
  5. The original gone in sixty seconds. More hubcaps came and went. Also there was jump seen and it could clearly see the tierod broke and then fixed next scene. . Same thing with terminator 2 when the semi comes off the road and down in riverbed you can see the two front tires going in to different directions and then be ok in the next shot.
  6. Nice work on the ranchero. Just curious what paint did you use on the stude?
  7. Paint what is seen. Use test fitting to see what is exposed.
  8. Glad to see this one back on the bench. Great idea using the laptop to hide the glue mark.
  9. I always find that paint and assembly can often be unforgiving. For many the model would end up in a box and in the closet. Its much better to fix it and push on. On a current project I managed to polish through the color coat on the body. The recoat on the body went fine but in the process of repainting a bumper , it feel off and into some junk on the floor. Managed to get that piece repainted after sanding out the junk. Its times like this I keep remainding myself I'm having fun and the hobby is supposed to be relaxing.
  10. First a lot would be lost if people only showed completed builds. Sometimes an idea can be gleaned from a wip that has stalled. Wipswill stall because the builder loses interest, gets stuck on some part, or life issues. Also it is presumptuous to dictate how wip should be done or if a builder even does a wip. For me I enjoy looking at everything and picking up ideas and new techniques in the journery.
  11. Nice work. What did you have to do to get the chassis to work?
