Colbert's Quad Facepalm is better

Good job on the engine. If you keep this work up, you'll have a amazing Jag.

Wow. Everything about this build is wow. The crazy scale, the crazy detail... it's just amazing.

Welcome to the forum Royce! South of Columbus, I see. I'm near Akron. Good to see another "nut" on here, haha

Amazing job. Is this kit any good? I've heard some stuff about it, not sure if it is good or bad, or what... Your model is absolutely amazing, now you have to find somewhere to put it on the shelf hahha

1. Start with something cheap, epescially if you feel you don't trust yourself enough to start with a $70 kit. Look for "Skill Level 2" kits, also 3'n'1s Those have the most parts, including wheels, engine parts, and sometimes complete engines. Look for the basics; 32 ford, 69 camaro, 49 merc, and if you have a Hobby Lobby around you, look in your local newspaper for weekly 40% off coupons. 2. I recommend Amazon, because they are trustworthy and you can read reviews of people who bought the kit, not sure about others. 3. Get the necessities. A good exacto knife, a spray paint can of flat black, red, a blue, and a orange if you want. Buy the Testors Acrylic Starter paint kit. Get a couple cheap brushes; from large to medium to small. Get a cereal bowl that you can use for your water if you get acrylics, if you can't find acrylics, get enamels and a jar of thinner, has a red label with "Testors" on it. And get a good place you can work at, and not worry about spilling paint or cutting into. Find some small tweezers. and you can build your supplies from there. 4. Back to 1. Look for 3'n'1s, go to yard sales if you can and flea markets and look for cheap kits, already built you can take parts from or unbuilt kits in the box, preferably with the plastic wrap intact. Look for Nascar kits, you can basically steal them for $5, it has a beefy engine and you can use parts from those on other cars. Those also have racing seats too. As for harnesses and little things, look around you; you can make harnesses from fabric, and you can make the rollbars from the parts tree (if you trim it down some, it can be done) As for the wheels... don't know what to tell you. You can post in the "Wanted" section and see if someone has them. Hope this helped you some, Glenn Oh, and to edit your posts, look to the left of the MultiQuote on your post (at the bottom) and click on Edit, then you can edit your posts. -
Hey Owen, welcome to the forum. You might be surprised you're not the only "young'n" around these parts, I'm 14 about to turn 15 in August. My tips are: get a good exacto knife and set of blades (you will always need to trim something down, no matter what haha) and also don't build to please us on the forums. Build what you want to build and are happy with, also on every kit you do, try to make it better than the last. Excited to see what you will build, and also happy to see that I'm not the only 14 year old on this forum haha

Maybe make it look like a Pro-street type wing.. Or maybe just make it a lip, like a cuda wing.

Lowrider Appreciation with Jay Leno
DynoMight replied to Dr. Cranky's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Never really did like lowriders, but like Jay said, you have to appreciate it, especially those cars, because they look so well done. -
1969 Outlaw Camaro...updates (10/21/14)
DynoMight replied to tyrone's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Awesome. Can't wait for this to get built up.. a dark green metallic would look really cool with white stripes. Maybe it could look like a Yenko Camaro... -
Good job Jim. Absolutely amazing. What's next?
-
What is the point of blurring the Confederate flag on the roof, if it's clearly visible on the license plates?? On both of them... Good job nonetheless on the models.
-
Good job on that detailing. It'll look awesome under the glass in the rear. Are you going to make it stock looking? Or are you going use different rims/tires? And here's a abandon XJ220 in Qatar, somewhere in the Middle East. It's a shame.
-
I think GNX's didn't have chrome trim. They had blacked-out trim; or that's what my quick google search said. Great model, I love that you put its not black as a tag haha
-
Take a ford "stock car" (haha yea, stock car. Remember when you could do this in your garage if you wanted to? I don't, but thats besides the point.) and put a chevy sticker on it. Boom, you got a chevy.
-
Does that kit have full detail (engine, chassis etc)? Cool score.

This is really cool. Excited to see how those breathers come out! Also to see some color on that body; hopefully soon! -
Welcome to the forum. Very nice job on this kit. Hope to see more from you! What's next??

They do seem a little big. If they were a little smaller and had more rubber around the rim they'd fit right in. Good job on this man.
