Tamiya Mustang GT4 - Red, White, & Blue - ‘Merica
metalhead replied to lghtngyello03's topic in Model Cars
Just incredible! I have been kind of on the fence about trying out these paints. But now, I will definitely give them a go as I am running out of my Scale Finishes paint. Love your build! -
I know Hobby Lobby isn't a one stop for all store for our hobby. It's usually just the same stuff as always. And I know they don't really cater to the plastic model hobbyist. But this is just disappointing. On the other hand, they are starting to stock some Gunze GSI products. I picked up a couple of cans of the Surfacer 1500 spray.

Star Trek Picard The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Loki I have to say, I thought I wouldn't like Star Trek Picard. But, it has turned out to be a very good show. I'm eagerly awaiting season two.

Moebius 48 foot flatbed
metalhead replied to metalhead's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I'm sorry to say that any model building has taken a back burner for a while. My mother fell very ill again and I have been taking care of her. As I am her only caregiver at the moment, there just isn't really any free time. I do intend to finish it. I currently have it painted in aluminum and had started on the undercarriage before I stopped. I hope to get back to it sometime. -
worst commercials - i have to mute the tv
metalhead replied to youpey's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I know a lot of people don't like paying for subscriptions, but youtube premium is literally a godsend to me. Ten bucks a month and I can watch all the videos I want with absolutely no commercials. And the Liberty Mutual commercials make me want to reach through the screen and choke the life out of both of them. -
Working 12 hour days, six says a week now for the past four months. All because people here don't want to do their job.

What non-auto model did you get today?

Philly cheesesteaks for dinner tonight! Although this is the simple version. Just steak and onions with provolone cheese on a fresh sub roll.

It would be really nice if they brought out the Beall tanker again. I have one and I'm almost afraid to build it because it is very rare to find another one at a price that won't kill your bank account.

Yes, they have been selling out everywhere. And I would love to see more trailer and truck kits come from Moebius. A modern tanker would be killer! Some modern Peterbilts and Freightliners! -

Making decent progress. Almost ready to paint the deck. Currently working on the suspension. There is a fairly good sized sink mark on one of the axles that needs to be addressed. Other than that, no major issues so far. I'll try to have some more pics this weekend as I have no time to work on it after I get off work. Thanks for watching! -

I got mine from ebay. But, they seemed to have sold out pretty fast. -

I have to say, certian parts of this build kind of feel like an amt kit. Some parts are molded really well, while other parts are kind of heavy handed. So far, everything fits pretty well. The frame rails have a pretty decent sized mold line, but nothing a scapel blade and some sandpaper can't handle. Also, the above aforementioned rub rails need to be glued together small sections at a time. So far, a really enjoyable kit! -

The rub rails have a good bit of warping. But, if you're careful and glue a little bit at a time and hold it with tape, it all lines up very well. I'm currently working on the other side. Same issue with warping. So, make sure you take your time and glue small sections and hold it with tape. I'm really enjoying this build so far. In fact, it's going so good, I decided to share with you and start an in progress thread, something I have shied away from. I really want to finish this and I don't really forsee any major problems. Thanks for watching! Edit: I found it easiest to go ahead and glue the two parts together,then glue to the side of the deck. Then do the cleanup on them. That way, they are much more rigid and you run less risk of breaking the rub rails in half, like I almost did. -
I just recieved this kit today. Couldn't wait to start on it, so I shoved my other projects into my closet and got to work on it. I have to say, apart from some minor flash and some warpage of the rub rails, this kit is fitting pretty good! So far, I'm only a couple of hours into it and I have the frame put together and glued down to the top deck. More to come.

What Did You Get Today? (Not Model Related)
metalhead replied to LOBBS's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Just ordered a bottle of Apollo Creed Aventus cologne at a very steep discount. 90% off and this stuff is still over $100. I have been after this particular brand for a while, now. But, I wasn't going to pay the premium price it goes for. -

Excellent model! The color choice looks good on the Camaro!
