  1. Good to hear your recovering ! Looking forward to your updates
  2. Good to hear your still puttering with the FLD ! If your trying to move photos from android phone to site..its pretty easy. Click on the paper clip below text box, click files, that should access your phone gallery. Select photo and depending on size it should automatically load. Ya just need to click the little + on photo and site adds it to post.
  3. Wow those wheels and tires look good! First upgrade to any kit should be better wheels and tires, theres no many available options now days !
  4. Thanks ! I havent watched any build videos of Dave's Getting the interior details painted up, and the dash gages ( decal ) in place and I should have it finished . Decided since it's a fresh air car , the occupants should have at least minimal safety belts. Would white lap belts be appropriate?
  5. Very nice project
  6. First time doing bmf, turned out pretty good! Just a few chrome moldings to break up the pink Once I get the dash details and door panels , this will be finished thanks for looking !
  7. Awesome variety of parts to make a much more detailed truck
  8. Man those old school steel wheels make a statement, whose tires are those
  9. This is gonna be an epic build
  10. Outstanding work ! The roof conversion looks fantastic
  11. I'm totally blown away by the amount of fabrication you've stuffed into this ! Every little nut bolt and assembly is present , and cool use of the bendy straws
  12. Fantastic color combo
  13. Started assembly on the frame and floor pan and fitting the aluminized exhaust system. I was very impressed how everything fit together, even the exhaust pipes clicked right into their slots . That small area of bare plastic will be touched up before the suspension goes in Yeah..sorry about leaving the manufacturer info on the tray..
  14. Impressive build , really like how clean the opened doors look considering how much work it was thinning the resin . The shot of the cab corner w door open really shows how much material you had to deal with
  15. Thanks , I used a toothpick to sharpen the outlines and clean out the panels
  16. Very nice!! Love the interior treatment
  17. Thanks ! Yeah I need to clean up the separation lines once they dry more . The tamiya paints dry quicker , and using few drops of thinner kept the paint flowing..sometimes with a mind of it's own lol
  18. Heres where I hit the wall..not building many cars, I dont have the eye for colors that work w each other...a quick text to my buddy Tbill, and i had a few ideas. Originally a tan accent was planned, but screwing around with a mix of red and white ...i had this salmon color hmm ....Tbill liked it and our daughter gave me the thumbs up so I was off and painting. Now the big test..what's it gonna look like in the car..and the engine together That's it for now ! Any comments or suggestions welcome ! Jeff
  19. I picked up this kit awhile ago waiting for inspiration to strike , and I finally got around to building it. Wandering thru the lhs w our 4 yr old daughter, she started playing w paint cans..noticing they were shades of pink....I'm building it for her ! The builds gonna be straight oob, just a fun build while I wait for parts to arrive for the oshkosh plow. She kept picking up a certain can..it matched her coat...and we decided that was perfect. Testors electric pink lacquer w wet look clear ! A quick cleanup of the fine molding lines, and bath in dish soap..and it headed to the booth! 3 light coats later it was laying down perfect and even..the rounded body lines on this model really showed off the raspberry colors and flake in the paint. I let it rest a few minutes before getting cleared ..then took outside for a look in natural light I planned a light interior, settling on tamiya white primer, that seems to dry w a nice sheen. I stuck the primed tub in the drying body to check contrast.. More to come!
  20. Nice and flat Theres been a few builds where I've used a small line level to assure frames are correct , doesnt hurt to check..now the wheels will sit on ground !
  21. Truly fantastic news that Ryan was able to walk out of the hospital under his own power 2 days after his crash. The photo of him smiling at the hospital w his 2 daughters before being released really are emotional
  22. Very nice work !!! Those cabovers certainly look busy when ya start adding all the parts !
