  1. Great job Jason! Love the old school celica's. Your weathering is very convincing!
  2. The tires in the 911 "turbo" kit are like balloons! The rims (although extremely well detailed) are too small for the car looking like they are only a 15" diameter at best. The engine is an odd duck for sure.....using parts/designs from multiple years of 911 builds and a little model engineer mind to fill in the blanks. I have the kit but I am building it (a little bit on the side) into a turbo using the twin turbo setup from a Muscle Machines import tuner 350z and a scratchbuilt exhaust setup made from silver solder.
  3. Paint them all black and use a silver Sharpie marker to carefully do the silver "machining"
  4. Oh oh.....I thought it was Modern Muscle!.............oh well.
  5. Usually less parts count on the kit, the parts will "snap" together, sometimes the quality is not as good. As far as that goes though, I usually just add back the details from the parts box.
  6. I'll be there as well.......got the EVO done for the Modern Muscle build.
  7. My daughter's Snap-tite Enzo (father/daughter build)
  8. Thank you Phillip! The car was just "screaming" for flames.
  9. Got a couple.......
  10. Here's a new one of mine..........
  11. Revell Snap-tite Acura NSX....got this at a swapmeet for $5.......pulled it all apart, changed the wheels/tires/brakes, built a new engine cover, remade the rear taillight panel with inset reverse lights, and painted House of Kolor Majik Blue pearl.
  12. Fantastic job so far on this build Curtis! The interior looks amazing!
  13. Thank you guys! I really appreciate it. It's almost done now.....needs only the mirrors and the exhaust done. Really took on the Time Attack personality once the sponsors went on. Enjoy the pics....the next ones will probably be in "Under Glass".
  14. Thank you Bob. More to come.......
  15. It is actually red.....camera makes it look orange.
  16. Thanks Christopher.....nope maybe about 3 hours. Not bad.
  17. Thanks guys! Here is a sneak peek at the direction this is going....the decals are on the way for the sponsors (K+N, DYNOMAX, etc.) "Stripes" were done with BMF and VERY thin 3m vinyl. Enjoy!
  18. If you really want a wide mustang body, you should pick one of these up.......you could use parts of the original body to make it a street car. Easy!
  19. I think it is looking good so far Miles......don't give up on it yet, this could be an epic build with just a little more work.... .....like said above, hit some of the areas (the rust areas) with dullcoat, then hit areas here and there with a wetsand of about 600 grit (to remove some of the shine.) That will add to the realism of a worn out car.
  20. Thank you Ben. I am currently working on the graphics.......remember I said Time Attack, this is gonna be WILD!
  21. Thanks for noticing Miles. It lets people see what I am obsessing over and/or what is on my "front page" at the moment. Thanks Ben! They are actually the rear wheels from two Shelby Series 1 kits inserted into Pegasus 23" aluminum sleeves.
