  1. great start .. i thought the hood was a paper template
  2. looks great so far , those wheels and tyres looke perfect
  3. awsome progress , too bad the paint went wrong .. maybe you really need to take your time and only spray a light mist over it and waight a few minutes so it can set and dry a tad between every mist coat ..
  4. this is funny i'm a dutch guy on a american forum and you just showed the van of a dutch guy i used to hang with on meetings in belgium .. got to love the internet right ?! ps this van was on airride (superfast system) thats what the x-cars did they build airsystems ..
  5. my list >> it said when you can choose and well we dont have a lot of old fords here and i love them , i could live my dream i could easely name cool musscle cars or other dream cars but for me the real rods are out of reach here in holland .. so here is my dream list 1....1932 ford pickup hotrod , a bit jimmy shine style so not exactly like that but the style and stance 2....1932 ford coupe hotrod (can be either a 3 or 5 window) just an example > 3....1932 ford roadster hotrod 4....1932 ford tudor hotrod 5....a cool woody with modern engine / drivetrain (v8) and suspension to haul stuf and go away as a family on longer distance
  6. awsome !! very very realistic , really love this one
  7. that is truely insanely impressive !!!!!!!!!
  8. ooeehh i always trow away the instructions .. dont care for them.. in a fact i maybe use like a small part of the instructions for a build since most is build up my own way i seldom go through the whole instruction sheet but i can def. understand it can be cool to save all the old instructions .. i trow them away because at one point in my life i desided not to keep everything (like stuff) i could easely become a horder or a person that collects and keeps every sily thing they own , thats in me .. so i decided at one point not to hang on to certain stuff anymore
  9. thnx i thought the racer was too clean , like something was missing . i usually dont like flames on cars but these where the best option i had from what i had lying around . and well when they where on i really liked it. the decals have had a mild white wash to blend in with the salt weathering .. and made a bar on the back of the racer where the truck's pushbar can push against
  10. only on my garage diorama , because i started a car build and had so much fun the diorama is still on hold with cars (kits) i have never had that problem , i just build one project / kit at a time and only when its done i move on to the next .. atm i have 4 new boxes waighting and every time i see them i think > hmm love to start one but i dont because i know i wont be interested enough in the current project
  11. i do have a question , why do people buy that many boxes just to put on shelfs ? dotn get me wrong i think it looks freaking cool and i would love to go through those collections and see whats in them .. already see coolness in the pics .. but in a way i dont really get it .. i mean you guys are never going to build all the kits in this life time , some people have multiple kist (the same) and i understand some are rare and might become real valuable .. atm i have 4 kits in stock myself and those are already burning on the shelf ... ooh i want to start them so bad my way is more like i want to build one kit at a time and i would def. like to make a collection of boxes , just i would want to have boxes in stock i want to build and wil build in a certain time frame .. so anybody wish to explain the idea / feeling / drive behind the hudge collections ? like is that a hobby on its own , just the collecting of kits ? and again dont get me wrong i think its awsome to see such extensive kit collections > love it
  12. cool looks great !!1
  13. nice idea !! , what are the plans for the roof ??
  14. thnx vintage yesterday i rolled some thin electrical wire into airlines (spiral) and painted one yellow and one red .. today i made cuplings on the rear of the cab and attached the hoses , now i need to make some connector things on the trailer side alright i will reveil my secret i just put these guys to work , works great hahaha
  15. haha thnx man !!!! for years i have been doing automotive renderings and maybe some know about autemo , i'm an artist there .. but since a year or half a year i have not done anything .. the modelcar hobby is just more statisfying , something you can really hold and rotate irl and hands on beats virtual stuff anytime .. but when i looked at one of the last posted pics i got an idea , the shot was taken on a blanc painters canvas and using fotoshop i (done quick) made the visible part of my living room white also , removed the green light fall and added just a simple filter this filter erases noise in the pic , sharpens details and at the same time makes it kind of more blurred and soft almost to the painted look so i didnt alter anything on my model just a all white backdrop and a filter .. if i would make real good shots especially to do this stuff the results could be way better , this was just done in 5 minutes because i got the idea
  16. thnx everything is glued in place painted the toolbox hinges and locks chrome , BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH that was some tiny stuff actually very easy to paint with a wooden sate pin ,just sanded the point smooth and sprayed some chrome in a bowl ...works every time close up started paint on the broom , needs more still
