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.
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!
