  1. Aint THAT tha truth! LOL!! I've got one diorama that's completed and I'm always adding a few things here and there to it. It's even gotten seasonal now with the addition of a Christmas tree during the holidays. lol Awesome work on everything in the picture. You've got some good skills brutha.
  2. I like what you're doing with this one. This is gonna be great to continue watching.....
  3. Came out well James. Paint looks great man.
  4. That turned out VERY well. I'm right there with Roger, I've never seen one of these built up stock before. Great work on this Joseph. BTW......I like that shop as well. Did you scratch build that or is that a diorama set?
  5. This is looking great so far Lee!! Love what you're doing with the engine!! Nice touch with the Duster decal on the rocker cover.
  6. Great ideas going into this one. Being a Prius, I've gotta admit, I was reluctant to click on this thread but I really like what I'm seeing. Watching.....
  7. I’ll be coming back to this build. I’ve been wanting to build this kit for a long time now. Looking great so far bud
  8. Thanks fellas!! Getting this one to a lower stance has been a tricky ordeal but I'm making my way through it. I did some work on the rear suspension to get the stance mostly where I want it. Gonna play around with the front a little more to get a tad bit lower. A good test fit/ mock up later: One thing this kit has going for it is a completely detailed out undercarraige. Very high parts count (over 40 parts) and a great effort by AMT on replicating it.
  9. Those indoor photos look really good but it's those outdoor shots that really do this build all the justice. Dang near flawless build Bob.
  10. Man that interior is the “bee’s knee’s”!!!!! Very well done!!
  11. Black and silver are a great color combo and they look great on this ride JR. Looking forward to seeing more on this one
  12. Looking very much forward to this one James!! Builds like this one is inspiring me to try one of these kinds of cars. Looking forward to more from this build.
  13. LOTSA work going on with this one just trying to figure out how to get the stance right. After several days I finally got the front where I want it after sanding the heck out of the mounting pad on the chassis to get the upper control arm to sit further up. This gave me the scale inch or so lowered that I wanted and I may be able to tweak it just a wee bit more. Test fit:
  14. I've done just that in the past as well James. Thank you for the comments. 'Preciate the kind words and you're following along Carl. Thanks James. It'd be really nice to get this one finished up quick but I just don't think it's gonna happen because I'm a stickler for detail.
  15. That's some definite clean pinstriping Dan. Such a clean paint job too dude.
  16. Thanks fellas!! I appreciate the good word. James: I saw that one when it was done and it does indeed look good man. Two thumbs up!!! I started on the chassis by getting the brake rotors and brake calipers all ready. I really wished there were some "Camaro" scripts for the calipers as they are going to be extremely visible through the wheels. But...that's that and they aint there so....moving on now. I also started the aluminum shielding for the exhaust painting this morning. I'll be touching up the chassis in areas that didn't get adequate coverage/ overspray/ or totally missed in the days coming.
  17. Man....you sure put a shine on that one Dan. WOW!!
  18. The only chrome parts in the whole kit were the wheels and these aren't supposed to be chrome. They are more of a silver with a contrasting darker color used for the inlay areas of the wheel. So I went to work by stripping all of the chrome off of the wheels and cleaning them up. Here they are finished up. One of the problems with silver is that any leftover flash at all will show up in pictures. In real life you've really gotta be looking to see it. I used Vallejo Silver for the wheels and shaded the darker areas with ground up black pastel. Just didn't feel comfortable painting the inlay areas. I then put a dot of Molotow Chrome on the lugnuts and then used a toothpick to apply MM Chrome Silver to the Bowtie emblem in the middle of each wheel.
  19. This'll be fun to watch. Looking forward to more Bill!
  20. No problem dude. I'm really looking forward to this.
  21. Thanks fellas. Will be resuming this one starting tomorrow.
  22. That stuff is like Liquid Gold. I use it for every paint job....even on my aviation subjects. Will be watching this beauty come together Bob.
  23. Love what you did with this car. Beautiful work indeed.
