Thanks, ya it is weird and wild and fun Leaves lots of freedom in building it up

Thank you

This was my inspiration car photo

My take on the Revell Baja Humbug. Working on the wheels and tires. I melted a tread in the rears Then starting a desert base for him About 3/4 done here, all dry fitted...need engine finished and little bits added More to come

God, you have that right...all those BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH reality Tv shows Ahhhggg just turn it off!

Hi Bruce, nice to hear from you and I hope all is well with you and family I have a couple builds that just need to be finished and keep getting pushed to the back of the line

Just ordered some new Borrani Wheels form Model Builder's Warehouse Trying to get an old build off death row

I got a Meng Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in the mail today Anyone got a source for beefier wheels and tire set??....the kit ones are pathetically thin IMHO and coming up blank on eBay

Fabulous work indeed Ruby stone and Burberry ...awesome ???

Then I replaced the kit foot pedals with aluminum ones from Scaledetails The accelerator needed soldering together as the PE folds popped open first bend and used my own hardware to assemble the pedal to the floor ;

Well time for my semi-yearly posting ? Picking away at her between other builds and a long absence from the hobby until January. I got the center console details finished on this beast. Next for the interior is headliner and dashboard...lots to detail there

Hey,Thanks man Summer and the plague had taken away a bit of my modelling motivation, but I will get her done I did test spray one door its first coat of clear blue when I final coated an A/C Cobra I have a F40 love as well. Got a built semi-wrecked 1/8 to refurbish one day

Apparently yes was my own fault, can’t blame anyone but myself

Such clean work Always amazes me how crisp everything is you are making

Hey man thanks I exploded one of the Borrani wire wheels trying to tighten it up on the axle. I had the other three all placed and done, this was the last one. I had to dissect out wheels from a gaudy set of Fujimi wheels and make do. Sand down the deep dish to similar dimension to my other three and rearrange the spokes inside. I am missing one layer of wire in the pattern, but it is the best I can do with out replacing everything. Finished one compared to the original donor wheel

Fantastic paint so far and you have just started. Lovely coverage....real pro work there with that gun I suffer from that BMW policy of "Replace New" rather than repair anything...paying throughout the nose every service. Good to hear you are picking up their 'old' paint.

Nice stuff, following along

Found some clear parts from digging around stash kits and the parts bin. Especially important are the front headlights from a Fujimi Slantnose Porsche that had perfect round clear headlights that were not to be used. Usual porsche headlights are kinda oblong They are perfect fit and I can retire the google eyes. Other clear parts are for the front signal lights, the taillights and an AC sticker I have used to reduce the image and will make the steering wheel center cap

I make my own airbrush cleaner similar to this. At work so don't have the diluting proportions in my head but can add them later Winter windsheid washer fluid Distilled Water 90% Isopropyl Drops of dawn detergent or glycerine It cleans up acrylics very well...which Future is.

Finished out the headlights. Really makes the car come alive
