    Yeah. Add some wide, square fenders to a box. Anti aerodynamic.

    Great job Rich. I like the pictures "in the wild".

    Finally got this one done. Took a long time in whatever spare hours I could work on it. The engine was from USCP (Ukrainian Scale Cars Production) and came with an engine bay. Took a lot of fiddling to get them in and fitting properly but it ended up looking pretty good.

    Thanks. The wheels and tires are from Pegasus. They look more to scale than the tires in the kits, and I wanted to go for an East Los Angeles vibe. If I could make the car hop, I would!

    Thanks. The paint is Tamiya "Pure Orange" with a couple of coats of Clear Orange from Tamiya.

    Will, this MPC model reminds me of how hard it is to build an older kit. Needed a lot of work in terms of fit. And because there are no decals, there also no place to hide in terms of paint. Glad to have this one done, and on to the next!

    Yes, Jim. WRC (World Rally Cup) from the late 1990's

    Hi all. Just finished the Tamiya Evo V and pairing it with the VII. The engine is from Hobby Design. I ended up getting too far into the build for the car, so the engine will wait for the next Evo kit and then I'll manage the order for the build so I can modify the car chassis and drop the engine in it. I've been looking around for a 3D engine bay for these cars, but can't find it. So I'll have to improvise later.

    Thanks!

    Fast forward, finished. With the exception of some plumbing to be added later.

    I worked on the body sections, adding a lot of mesh. For the front nose, I opened up the access panel that will lead to a spare tire. After finishing some additional detailing, I'll add the decals.

    Added the dash, and got one of the seats finished. Did I say making seatbelts is my least favorite activity!

    Thanks for the comments. I'll keep you posted.

    Hi. This is the beginning of the build of Lancia Delta S4, by NuNu. With detail parts by the same manufacturer. I'm substituting their decals for carbon fibre/fiberglass surfaces with Scale Motorsports. I'm using some leftover Testor's metalizer paints. Sorry they are being discontinued!. Anyway, start of a journey here.

    Thanks for the comments everybody. Appreciate it. Reply to "ESPO" - the color is Testor's One Coat, Fiery Orange. It is a pretty good match for factory.

    Slipping between 2 planes of existence sounds like a good idea. For anything!

    Although I like to build rally cars with a lot of decals and interesting livery, I think the hardest thing for me to do is build a box stock model, because everything shows. I keep learning new things, the latest of which is to make sure the surface of the trim is smooth so when you apply foil it gives you a smooth finish. Still trying to do better on that. Attached is the 1966 Mercury Parklane, which had a lot of fitment problems, and the 1961 Pontiac Ventura.

    Hi Rich and thanks. I do my modeling in a virtual cave. So no worries about sunlight!
  22. dougwintz
    Elaborate design for this one. The decals need to be laid down in a specific order. First pass, pink splotches. Then the "snakes". Then the hieroglyphics, or whatever those Egyptian like symbols are. Some nice engine bay detail comes with the kit. And seatbelts with anchored harness. Does anyone know the artist that came up with the design for this car?

    Hi. Yes that's right, it is the Revell Germany kit.

    Hi. Fun build, more work than i thought. Put a ton of carbon fiber into the interior, then realized it's all hidden from view. Anyway, nice addition to the shelf
  25. dougwintz
    Mario...you WIN! It is from the Revell Germany Trabant kit. Reminds me that, if I ever buy another used car, make sure to look under the hood. You never know what might be lurking there.
