  1. Wow, really clean paint job. Nice work!
  2. Wow, really an amazing job. I honestly thought these were the real cars at first.
  3. Excited to see what you do with this. I have always wanted this kit! I'll keep checking in!
  4. Looks dreamy! Take me for a ride stud ! Nice work. Great detail on the tail & head lights
  5. Thanks Ron and Gary! Was not an easy build that's for sure. A lot to change on the next one! Will dooo. I gotta get better shots of this thing though. These photos make it look terrible
  6. Well, I finally finished this car this weekend. It turned out great and am very happy with it. I definitely learned a lot working with this resin kit and am happy I have the 964 version still to do. That one will turn out even better. There is a lot of modifying and making sure EVERYTHING fits before final painting. This is KEY. Pardon the photos below for the dust on the car. At then end I noticed there was two tabs in the back where the taillight lens goes. I have to grind this and thought I got all the dust off the car. But photos are unforgiving and catch all these details. The decals didn't sit too nice on this car either. You can see the square cut out around the "Number One" decal. Thanks for looking!
  7. Thanks Ron! You are right. There is a lot of working this one. I'm pretty excited how this one is coming out. I have another kit I'm building where I want to make the wheels almost a rosey silver color. I am hoping if I lay a base of red down that metalizer with show through some of the red. I'll do a test run first.
  8. Alright I haven't posted an update in a long time on this car and it's about time! A lot of progress has been made lately. I switch to the "Number One" Car scheme. I ordered a 964 and will be doing to the signal green color on that model. I completed the wheels. I couldn't find any machined parts to use so I picked up some C1 Models Metalizer. This stuff is amazing, you simply paint a base coat and buff on the powder. After buffed it turns out great! I don't need to explain too much, the photos will do justice:
  9. Thanks everyone for the compliments. This one took an insane amount of time it seems. But turned out great. These Fujimi kits are no joke!
  10. Thank you everyone! I am keeping this one close to heart!
  11. Just finished up my Fujimi Ferrari 250GTO. This model took quite a bit of time. Turned out not too shabby. Would change a few things but that is all part of the learning process. This is my 6th model ever. Thanks for checking it out.
  12. Thanks! Yeah I agree! The car is stored in a basement garage while I am finishing college this year. To get it out there it is a steep driveway and would be stuck if it were any lower! That is first on my agenda once I get another place to store it!
  13. Had to strip the color: New Paint: Mock Up:
  14. The Process: C5 Z06 Wheels: Origianl GM "Flame Red" Paint. Definitely doesn't match at all! LS Engine: Chassis:
  15. I have always wanted to make a model to match my actual car. My buddy Steve Smiley (Terminator-Fox) gave me an MPC Camaro IROC kit. I couldn't have been more excited. I am still early in making models. This is just my 5th. I had to get a C5 Corvette kit to get the matching wheels and brake kit. This is my first time mashing up kits to make one kit. It was a fun and also frustrating journey. It turned out pretty good and I am satisfied with it. I started with what I thought my car color was which is flame red, but this was no where near the color of my car. I ended up using the color call mystical maroon. The decals were custom made Joseph Osborn from Fireball Modelworks. If anyone has any decals needs be sure to contact this guy! He was such a help. Well Enjoy: My Car:
