  1. So ive googled it several times, but i cant find any good website to find some 1/12 models...id love to start one but idk where to start looking. Can anyone point me in the right direction of selection?!? Thanks:D
  2. You take it up to 88 MPH yet>? Do that and post MOAR PICS. Looks great
  3. Was thinkin something along the lines of a mustard-ish yellow, as it was origionally yellow and has yellow accents on the interior...open to ideas tho.
  4. Hey haven't been around in awhile...playin games and what not...going to try to fix a build from 'bout 7 years ago thats been shot with an air soft gun and rolled off afew shelves in its day... Another one in my junkyard....idk why this one went wrong but thats where it ended up Ford Focus partsbox find ...and we'll see where this goes. AGGGGGHHH I posted in the wrong spot...can anyone move my post?> Sorry lol.
  5. Shoulda put gears in it while you were at it, jeez man you blow my mind.....in a good way, of course.
  6. OK....i gotsta know....is this your most in depth, crazy, handcrafted, off the wall build ever? Because ive never seen so much love to go into a model and if you've got something more amazing than this then i have to see it, if you would present it good sir. Amazing.....
  7. Color sure does pop: The Extreme trim/bumper will be black, and i found some neon yellow stickers im going to put along both sides on the trim. The bed i think im going to stain, i mean with stain AND some oil stains/scratches like a flat bed should have! Pop sickle sticks FTW.
  8. Thats pretty awesome, i always wanted an s10 blazer...buddie in school had one.
  9. I'm gunna start using my phone to post instead, it takes better pics than my camera! extensive work on the back of the bed
  10. Ok so here's the scoop: About 5 years ago i broke up with my girlfriend at the time, she wouldn't let me see my friends so i gave her the boot. My lifelong best friend seen me one day bustin away at a model, and said he'd like to try out the hobby. He owned a S-10 extreme on 20's and a Cadillac Eldorado at the time, so we went down to the hobby store and picked up one of both. I'm tellin ya, of course most of you guys know it takes some patience watching someone and helping them build they're first model. He glue/paint bombed it terribly and donated it to my parts box. Recently i noticed most of the kit was still intact throughout my vast assortment of parts, so i pulled it all together, minus suspension and that tired little V6.When i got the side trim <Extreme version> off i noticed he used so much glue it wawrped the bed terribly, so i put it aside for about 2 minutes before i said: Flatbed with style! Parts box amp and subs in the door made out of calculator buttons...i think...maybe it was a keyboard idk, seats from an El Camino lowrider kit NAME THAT ENGINE cuz idk what it came from, been in my stash for prolly 15 years Color was going to be the color of the engine, but couldn't find a rattlecan at hobbylobby to match, so its going to be One coat Testors lime ice with black ground effects, as you see on the hood. Man thats an impressive shade of green! Tell me whatcha think, i know its different!
  11. Im gunna have to bump that comment.... im in love with the Challenger and the Mustangs still carry they're original bodylines to some extent...the Camaro is just....not me lol.
  12. That's an awesome ride, man. The paint looks real deep.My dad had a '69 with a 454....blew the engine racing in charlotte, called my uncle to bring the flatbed and my uncle dropped the front end on the flatbed, bent the frame. He officially sold it for 25$.
  13. Thats awesome, especially for a 3 day build!
  14. You just made me bust out my buddies glue bomb S-10 xtreme he gave me like 5 years ago...its gettin a Caddy 390 c.i. from a '59 Eldo kit, man your build is awesome!
  15. If i won the lottery today i would buy a skyline and a real cheap house...or a supra its a toss up... Very nice good sir!
  16. That machine is awesome. If it bugs ya too much and keeps talking from its shelf about not being liked, sent it my way! I need to replace the Mrs' nick knacks off my entertainment stand. Seriously.
  17. I think the paint you were looking for is black sapphire metallic, im embarrassed to say but my daily is a '92 lumina in the exact color of the 1:1 you showed. But your paint looks fantastic anyway! Keep it coming!
  18. Id rock that bagged camper as a daily driver, i don't care how many heads turned cuz you'd never see a cooler camper!
  19. Im torn on how i feel on this one, its either gonna be a backyard resto or brand spankin' new mopar orange, this kit feels like it wants to be a resto, but we'll see how the front end turns out....as you see its pretty gnarly! Also i taped off the gas cap tryin to carve the flash and busted the body line @ rear driver side cuz the masking tape was in the way, like i said iv'e never weathered a project before so this model being poor manufacturing could be great for my first weathering project. Til then ty for checkin it out!
  20. I have that same kit, my buddie gluebombed it and handed it over, and i just pulled it from my pile last week. Whats awesome is i found everything essential to build it, even the glass, after it surfed with 10 other kits in a box with 150 pieces for 5 years. Im going with a mustard color if i ever get around to building it, but the colors all you buddie, its your kit! BTW do NOT stick that lil v6 in there, im sure you got at least a 350 layin' around, right?
  21. Loves me a GSX. Thats pretty. .
  22. Hey we heard around here you had some pc issues, since you been back i just wanna tell you im DYING to see that thing, i know ya had to have finished it, i just want to see some pics of the finished product if ya have any man! That build was intense!
  23. How did you make them cushions?!?!?! They look like real seats! And cozy ones as well.
