Got the seat painted in MCW medium saddle just now. I really like the sheen. It’s pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. still might lightly weather it, just so it doesn’t look new.

Today is Wednesday isn’t it?

Mail call. Looks to be complete and unstarted. Box is really nice too.

World domination is my long term goal, but for now I’d just be happy if I could rule my own roost.

Another squirrel is calling my name from the shelf of despair.

Do or do not, there is no try.

Oatman is this guy’s nickname.

I still have all my old Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars too. ?

Awesome work you guys are doing! As some of you know, my other love is music. I’m passionate about guitar, and currently trying to put a garage band together with a few friends. It’s taking a lot of time away from modeling, but it’s worth it to me. I like to take it a step farther than just playing music though. I also enjoy building guitars, amps, and any other part of the signal chain. It’s a rewarding feeling to make music through gear that you created. Here are a couple of past projects that I built. Custom Jackson with black limba body. I spent six months hand applying and rubbing out the finish on this one. It’s my pride and joy. Mojotone one watt Marshall clone. Sounds like a quieter version of a jcm900. All hand wired.

Years ago, I was years younger.

Rainbow was one of Ritchie Blackmore’s bands.

Wow! That’s really cool and creative. Looks like it should be racing in some fantasy league. I like it a lot.?

Crazy! I love it. Awesome job!

That color is gorgeous! Really suits the car. You’d never know this wasn’t a fresh build. Looks great!

Thanks for all the responses guys! This is a topic I’ve been thinking about quite a bit lately. Since I started printing my own wheels, it’s become more important to figure out how to actually use them.

With enough time, I just might finish a model someday.

Dearly attack kittens should be avoided at all costs…?

Domination describes perfectly my plan for winning the one sentence game.?

Awful is a pretty accurate description of how I feel when it’s time to apply bare metal foil.

Gentlemen prefer blondes.

It could create a bad situation if you glue your fingers together…

It seems aftermarket wheels come in an almost unlimited range of styles these days, and so are their attachment methods. But unfortunately it’s not normally as straightforward as using the kit supplied method. I don’t have a specific set in mind for this thread, but rather, I’d like to hear your tips and advice on how you’ve accomplished this task in the past. Let’s hear it then. How have you made aftermarket wheels work for you? Any style welcome. What modifications did you make to the axles/wheels? Glue you used? Anything else that could be helpful to someone on the board who might be facing the same problem.

Be excellent to each other.

Heavy Metal, the movie, had some “interesting” animation.
