    Yeah I did, but that was mainly meaning to stick with Tamiya spray cans for painting the bodies 😉

    Yeah same, always have enjoyed the content. I have missed getting the last 4 years, so trying to play catch up when some become available on ebay in Australia.

    Maybe just people wanting to shield themselves from people and things they dont like 🤷‍♂️

    Next kit on the bench. Was doing some colour spray outs the other day and really liked the look of this colour shift pearl and it got me itching to paint something with it, so I will apply it to this 211 Skyline build. Decided to not use the kit supplied wheels. Will change out to Formula Mesh. Oob mock up. Now the fun begins 😁

    68 Plymouth now Under Glass. Very happy how it turned out for a 6 day build.

    Another patina style. I really enjoy and have so much fun with this type of build. Just a good way to remain constructive and productive with my spare time at the work bench. Same technique I have used on the previous rusty builds. Dremeled out the molded in headlight lenses and replaced with clear lenses from my spare parts stash. I 3D printed the wheels, file is from Z Force Model Worx. Tyres are from Slowys Models Scratch built a half roll cage. Aluminum tube for the exhaust. Scratch built inlet super charger manifold, I 3D printed the super charger and file is from Scale Auto Model Works , I 3D printed the pulleys, which are a special one of design from Slowys Models, scratch built idler puller bracket. Carburetors and air cleaners are from Morries Kustoms. The belt was made from masking tape and painted with AK paint marker rubber black. I 3D printed the Accel Super Coil which is a file from Scale Auto Model Works also used his Willwood master cylinder. I 3D printed the Distributor file is from Slowys Models Radiator was moved forward to gain clearance from the blower belt and lower pulley.

    Well done Henri, some great detail work with all the typical lowrider features. Sometimes a build will put up challenges and we just have to persevere through the situations we face and push through to completion. The end result is always the reward for our efforts and each build is a stepping stone for the next. Look forward to seeing your next build.

    Bit of a preview before the last stages of assembly and completion.

    Excellent, super crisp and clean, well done. You should post more of your builds.

    As Stu has pointed out, that is the shape of the roof.

    Me personally I would rather direct most my spare time to being at my bench being productive and getting results. Thats why I prefer to view the wips and underglass sections as thats whats provides me with inspiration and motivation to build. The off topic basement section is nothing more than a distraction that I really dont need to view, but I do just for 5mins of amusement.

    I find it odd that people want to discuss other off topic matters on a site that is dedicated to building Model Cars. I visit this place to get away from all the noise and nonsense.

    Some great ideas in this build Claude, certainly nailed the modern pro touring style. Well done.

    Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated. And what a privilege to get a comment from @Ace-Garageguy thanks Bill 😁

    Salt work done and wheels chromed 😁 As per usual for me its seems I need to go back in and do some sponge work adding more rust to specific locations.
  18. Cool Hand
    🤣 I will make sure I go back in and add some extra rust on those lower quarters 😉

    Nice one Bob. A well thought out build that all came together for a great looking American Pano.
  20. Cool Hand
    Smoked ties in with all the black trim 🤷‍♂️
  21. Cool Hand
    Pictures should explain the direction of the Plymouth build 🤣
  22. Cool Hand
    Supplies and a kit.

    Stance adjusted. Scratch built an inlet manifold for the supercharger I 3D printed, increased the snout length and made the idler pulley bracket to mount onto it. Going to change out the Bird Catcher scoop and replace with some carburetor's
  24. Cool Hand
    Looks tuff. Excellent detailing work in the engine bay.
  25. Cool Hand
    Wheel mock up, need to make some adjustments to the stance.
