Bucket T

No primer on mine.

I'll add one or two to the pile. I like the reissues as well.

You can always check with a thrift store for figures. The one I go to has bags of 'em for just a few bucks.

I've had good luck with Createx and FasColor acrylics. Can't remember what rattle can clear I used tho but it worked just fine.

That would look good next to Tom's new FED kit issue.

I'm convinced. Barn find for sure.

Sweet!

Nice replication. Can't get enough of FED's.

Great build.

I have two that are near completion. Just need BMF/chrome trim and decals, both of which I don't like to do. They need a dusting off tho first.

I finally get to add some kits I found at a yard sale. The Stude (sealed) and the Indy Car (need decals - cracked) were 4 bucks each. The Futura was 2 bucks sealed - I mainly got it for the figures.

I do try to knock down sharp edges on a body, but in this case I sprayed paint on the underside of a detailed hood. Just enough valleys to see the white primer.

I did try a search up and down with no luck. I got a great deal on some MM pearl yellow on clearance so I picked up a few cans for a current project. I sprayed Tamiya white primer then the pearl. Three coats so far but can still see white near sharp edges. I must admit I usually spray acrylics. I couldn't find an answer online so any help would be appreciated. Should I spray a solid yellow or another color before the pearl? This was done on a spare part so nothing is lost. cheers

Revell "70 Boss Mustang Funny Car. The one with the funky short and wide hard plastic rear tires. Another in my junkyard pile. I "somehow" managed to melt the body in a few places.

Sand Crab dune buggy, in my junk pile redo list.

I'm partial to Daddyfinks post of the BRE Datsun cuz I drive a '71 dime that looks like it everyday.

Very nice!

Awesome everything!

Way cool. Looks like you could start it up and drive away.

As far as rarity goes, not sure. I have an unbuilt Futurista. Mean Maverick, the cheesy 1967 GTO funny car, Sand Crab dune buggy, and the 1/16 Rod Shop Vette need to be rebuilt. Need to put on the decals for the Unreal Edsel funny car. A while back I rebuilt one of my first kits - the Uncertain T. I have a box full of my old builds and everything is tossed together.

Something to spice up your trip on 66: https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/a20082/route-66-musical-highway/

Awesome build.

Always enjoy your builds.

One of these days I'm gonna find some old kits at a yard sale or thrift store. Picked up this at a sale this weekend. It was a display case for golf balls. My craft paint bottles fit perfectly on the top shelf. The glass paints will go on the lower shelves. A little bigger than 2x2. 2 bucks. Told the lady she could keep the bag of golf balls...

Neat bug. Looks like a 1:1.
