  1. I added a racing stripe to this one, and of course, painted the rims again... There sure is a seriously large gap between the doors and the front fenders... It's the same on both sides, but I can't say I noticed this on the orange ones I have... I guess I can't complain for $10... And they've put out a red one and a white one with black stripes on it... Can't wait to get my hands on a few of those...
  2. I got another one and had to give it the treatment... These are some really cool models... Definitely, one of my favorites.... For those who don't know, these things come with black rims... Totally, not a fan, so I painted them...
  3. Thanks, Bill.... I didn't open the rear door, this time... I only made the roof removable.... There is a place down the street that I want to try to see what they would charge me to work up some vinyl graphics, but as of yet, I don't have anything planned... Thank you, Jim... I have quite a few cars that I could display with this thing... When I decide which one/ones to display, I'll shoot some pics... Thank you, Bill... Thanks, Brian... I appreciate that...
  4. Well, Guys.... Here is my Prostar race rig... My first and only "real" build for 2020... I had really stalled on this one, but I finally got to it...I stretched the frame, and opened up the roof of the cab...The roof comes off the trailer, as well, to reveal a nicely detailed interior...(In theory that is, as I haven't done that, yet.... Didn't get to the interior on the trailer as I had planned, but I'm sure I'll get to that, soon enough... Just not for 2020, I don't think... I've been looking at this one for about 6 months, now, and I just want to move on to something else, if you know what I mean... But here she is...
  5. Love these Euro jobs... Very nice work... I really like this model, as it builds up well... I have 4 or 5 of these built up or boxed up... I always enjoyed the way this one went together... You've done an excellent job with this one... I need to snag another one of those container trailers, too... Great job...
  6. Those are really cool looking trucks... I like what you've done to yours... Not sure why I don't have one of those, either... Hmmmm.... Excellent work, My Friend....
  7. I got the trailer exterior built up and painted...(For the most part, anyway) I plan to do something to tie in the blue frame on the truck... Here's how it looks at present.... I actually, decided to use an unfinished trailer that I had built, before... It was for someone else, but I had messed up the over all profile for trailer I was supposed to build... And, since I'm already WAY behind schedule..... And, I think this will be the last post, here before I send it over to "Under Glass"... Thanks, Guys for checking this project out.... What is looked like just yesterday morning.... I'll get to the interior sometime in the near future.... Kinda run out of gas on this one... Just wanna do something else in the meantime till I get some more motivation/inspiration.....
  8. Thanks, Bud... Yep... Just some flat plastic and foil along with self adhesive jewels I found at the dollar store... I've gotten the trailer exterior built and painted, as well....
  9. That is a nice looking car... Good detail for the scale, for sure...
  10. Wow!!! That interior is terrible... I never took it apart to view it... But your work on it, so far, is pretty awesome...
  11. That is seriously COOL!!!! I want one of those... I've seen some in 1/18 scale, but WAY out of my price range at around $865.00 (US).... I wonder what one of these little ones costs...
  12. Man... This thing is going to be HUGE!! I'm on the edge of my seat....
  13. Too cool... I love this stuff... Straight out of "The Fifth Element".... Awesome....
  14. That is a cool looking model... In 1/24 scale, too... I'm intrigued... I may have to investigate availability of this one, here in the States....
  15. That looks real nice, Man.... Funky!!
  16. That is a seriously killer kit... Very nice...
  17. Man, this is a cool kit... I'm going to have to pick one of these up... I like your work on it... It's beautiful...
  18. Very cool build... Great weathering... Beautifully executed...
  19. This is looking rather cool... Excellent work on that grille...
  20. It does look really good in that green... I love that paint can... Too cool... Amazing... Over here, paint cans are printed in English and Spanish.... The top language is usually English... Cool how it's reversed over there... And why wouldn't it be? Awesome....
  21. This bad boy looks great... I love the engine color... There are a lot of custom jobs out there, and I like to paint mine orange or whatever I think will make it "pop"... Don't care what it was painted at the manufacturer... Fact is, a rig that old would probably be on it's second engine, anyway... I love the custom look... Bottom line... It's your truck....Do whatever you want.... I like it.... ? Great job... I have to agree with you on the decals, as well... I think it would look better without them, but it still looks good...
  22. Real nice... Real small... I'm diggin' it... Excellent work...
  23. I like it... Pretty cool paint scheme, too... I'm gonna have to get my hands on one of these things... Very nice... And welcome back to the hobby...?
  24. Thanks, Bud... I appreciate that... I hope you get the nerve to build it... It really is a good kit, despite the frame's short length... Very nice fits... No flash... Even the mirrors mounted onto the cab without glue...(Big advantage)... It should be extended at least 1/2 an inch or maybe 15mm or so to look like the 1:1's on the road... This is what most of them look like....
  25. That was the ingenious thing I noticed about it... With all the cardboard boxes I've gotten from Amazon and Ebay, I can make quite a few of those things... Genius....
