Amazing paint job, love the weathering on the chassis/undercarriage.

I agree with everyone else, that paint job is fantastic!

That paint looks awesome in the sunlight, nice job!

Great detail, very cool looking!

Fantastic paint job, looks great!

That is a great collection, very nice looking!

Beautiful model of a beautiful car, great job!

Whoops, you are 100% correct David! I obviously didn't pay attention when I installed the tires. Good catch, I will have to change them, thanks.

Nice clean build.

This is the Tamiya Nissan 350Z built box stock as a painting exercise. There is no engine, just the bottom half built into the chassis. Everything on the bottom half is one piece which makes it a painting challenge. The body is painted with tru-color "chromit black pearl" and Tamiya clear. The rest of the paints are Tamiya acrylics. The driver side window had a large crack in the top half so I cut it out to look like the window was rolled down halfway. Like all Tamiya kits it went together very well.

Great looking model! Excellent job on what had to be a decaling nightmare.

What a cool idea, well executed, great work!

Being a big fan of both Tamiya and supercars this is going to be a must-have! Looks both complicated and well thought out by Tamiya.

Amazing detail Mark, your work is always incredible!

Really nice build!! I love the 1/16th scale front engine dragsters and funny cars. It would sure be nice if Revell would reboot them!

Great job on a very nice looking car!

Great looking Charger, love the color!

Which model are you talking about Tom? The NASCAR truck is normally in a plastic display case, I just took it out and set it on top of the cabinet for the picture. The Bigfoot is on a 12 x 12 base which unfortunately I have never been able to find an affordable case for.

Luckily my office is locked and custodial only goes in during the day when I am there. They are great conversation starters especially when people realize they are built models and not diecast.

For the first time in my working career I have my own office so naturally I had to put a few models in it. I recently bought this case from an antique store that was going out of business and I thought it would be perfect for the office. My wife loved the idea because it got some models out of the craft room and I loved it because now I have space in the craft room to build more!

Very cool looking! Good job on taking the painting "plunge", you are a braver man than I.

Those are both great looking models! Well done!

This turned out to be one of my most disappointing builds! I was not impressed with the level of engine detail, but was really happy with the interior detail. I used the Aoshima detail up parts kit which provided excellent details for the interior: gauges, seat belts, floor mats, pedals, and aventador floor plates. Unfortunately after fighting with the opening doors for hours and repainting the doors twice I ended up gluing them shut this losing all ther nice interior details. The mesh screen material for all of the vents makes a huge difference in the final detail. The kit went together ok, I knew it was going to stretch my talent level. I'm sure the majority of the issues were my own fault and not the kit. All in all it's done, my frustration is over and it is going on the shelf.

That is a great build of a beautiful race car!

Very nice build, looks nice and clean. I really like that seatbelt set, definitely looks authentic.
