  1. That's gross. Great job! Reminds me of some of the cars pulled from the Florida waters after hurricane Ian.
  2. Special Edition, with seat cover and storage compartment.
  3. Really cool. Old school cool. Love the black pipes.
  4. Very cool build and gift idea. I'm sure your dad will love it. There is a 3d file for his rims on cults3d...
  5. I've never been a fan of these in 1:1, but you did a great job.
  6. Not on the road, but on the dealer's lot. 2025 Chevy BrightDrop. I had no idea Chevy made an electric cargo van.
  7. Thanks Steve. It did take a bit more effort than I expected. I enjoy making those IG Reels. Thanks again.
  8. The Jo-Han '66 Marlin kit is averaging $280. I'm not aware of any '67 buick GS in 1/25 scale, please let me know if there is one out there. There is the Revell snap Raptor kit, but the new AW F-150 is a 2020 Lariat. How cool would that be in a 1/25 kit? I believe the AMT Probe is 1988 and '89. The new AW is 1994. Not high on my list, but at least it would be something new.
  9. I wonder why we couldn't get the Marlin, Buick GS, Probe, and F-150 in kit form. I'd get at least 1 of each of those.
  10. Thanks David, and yes, he's been excited throughout the build process. And you make a great point. Thanks again.
  11. This started as a Vic's Resin '69 Cadillac Coupe Deville. The goal was to make a replica of the owner's 1:1 The resin casting was pretty rough. Everything had to be massaged to get it to fit correctly. The paint is not exact. I used Tamiya Mica Red, which is metallic. The folded top is from 3dscaleparts. I printed the 26" Dub G.O.A.T rims from the King3d file. Side mirror is from LowriderScaleParts. The visors and headrests are printed from the parts file, not the parts box. The grill I 3d "scratch built". Headlight covers are also scratch built from aluminum. Dash gauges are by BestModelCarParts. Bumpers are sprayed with Revell chrome. Not perfect but the owner is pleased. Thanks Check out the Reel on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJzogofTk56/?igsh=MXR4M2V3aWFycGlvbw== Thanks
  12. That's one of the things that annoy me on IG, where people post pictures of kits and parts, but rarely a completed build. As far as the "my wallet is safe" comments are concerned, it's a matter of builders expressing their lack of interest in regurgitated kits we've all seen for decades and may have built once, twice, or more. Some of us long for new, different subject matters, hence the rise in 3d prints. Rather than asking these folks to keep their comments to themselves, more of those who feel this way should be speaking louder, then perhaps the kit manufacturers would listen to their customer base. Yeah, I know, wishful thinking. Just my $2 (2 cents adjusted for inflation).
  13. I recently had very similar results from a can of Testors.
  14. This is coming along beautifully. Care to share any tips on how your body printed so smooth?
