  1. great model this was a box build one of these days ill finish the aircraft and hovercraft for it.
  2. Went and bought the makeup brushes work great. Got mine at target a 4 pack of different sizes was $10
  3. Laid some color down on body panels. Using Wicked Air Wicked Silver.
  4. Nice job welcome to the hobby.
  5. small update for some reason Tamiya doesn't include the orange hybrid wiring in the engine bay. You can clearly see it in all pics of car. so going to try to scratch build it. Started buy drilling out connectors and running 20 gauge jewelers wire. a few pieces detail painted
  6. so got some primer and color going. Ran out of primer half way thru so haid to run to hobby lobby and get more. Wish I had a real hobby store in town. the only red on this Ferrari. Did the exhaust and struts with Alclad Titanium Gold, just for something different. started with gloss black bottom coat then 3 coats alclad. Engine and radiators Alclad Dull Aluminum.
  7. here is a look at Tamiya carbon set here some photo etch put on.
  8. Starting new build Tamiyas LaFerrari. I am also using Tamiya photo etched and Tamiya carbon Fiber set. the doors are made up of 7 pieces. body panels getting ready for primer.
  9. Best skyline I've seen. I don't know if you tried but amazon has aoshima wheels and on takes about a week to get. But hit and miss on selection.
  10. I built mine for around $60 out of 1/2 mdf. Has high volume bathroom exhaust fan and normal ac type filter.It vents out the back threw a 5" metal dryer hose. I run it out the window.Have a power strip on it and put normal plug on fan and over hang on one side to use as self.(where glue is) Also added florescent light. If you do use a bath fan make sure it is brushless motor paint fumes are extremely flammable. So no spark is key. Mine is pretty bi since i do ships too. It is in storage right now so in pieces and dirty, but here are some pics to give you an idea. Think it would make a good pic booth too. I used it in the house with out wife knowing so it catches fumes.
  11. Nice build looks like it was going thru the desert all day. How did you do the windows.
  12. Add my80malibu to the list just finished a trade with him.
  13. Chain is molded just like tamiya bikes. Just painted it x10 gunmetal. The winch cable is just the thread that came with kit. I dipped it in x10 gunmetal then ran it between 2 fingers to get rid of excess paint. Everything except the tank came with the kit. It was my first kit with photo etched and didn't know what i was doing (most of the time I still don't) so I didn't paint most of the metal.
  14. Thanks guys I will give the tips a try.
  15. All are 1/35. The dragon I did about 14 years ago. They take about a week for me. The hobby boss a little longer I changed the color scheme half way threw. As it shows need to take the airbrush to it. I have figures for the Famo just haven't got around to them.
  16. I tried swifter and it catches on mirror and antenna. I have big Rubbermaid containers. But things like my dora and tamiya uss enterprise don't fit. Can't see bing a tank that big just for that. Great idea though. Was thinking of compressed air but not sure if it will work might need to much psi and hurt the model.
  17. I am in the middle of a major remodel at home (6500 Sq ft house one room left untouched) my question is what have you guys found is best way to dust your collection. I put most in Tupperware, but some are to big. And drywall dust goes everywhere.
  18. Hobby Boss Modern Oshkosh M1070 truck tractor paired with Systems & Electronics M1000 Heavy Equipment Transport. Good kit lots of photo-etched. Instructions a little vague when it came to plumbing trailer. Mirrors were added after pics.
  19. small update getting ready to do airbrush work to finish. Think I might try my first weathering on this. all the gray is to much need to break it up.
  20. Doesn't Revell have Pagani license. Didn't they do the Zonda metal snap tight? Hope to get a good Huayra kit. But if none come out Autoart makes a great 1/18 diecast of it.
  21. Would like to see them bring 1/12 ferrari ' back too
