  1. I’d like to actually complete a build. Just one would be nice!😂
  2. Thank you! I found the box with the car I’m going for. I don’t normally do box-art builds, but I’ve thought this one was sexy since I first saw it in the late 70’s.
  3. Hey, I started this project a couple of weeks ago, so take a look at what I have done and let me know if this qualifies. I’m totally cool with it if you guys think it’s too far along. I’ll just pick something different if that’s the case. I’m planning a box-art build of the old Monogram ‘69 Camaro, doing the orange box art car (not pictured). Progress so far: most parts have been trimmed and cleaned up, ready for primer. Some parts have been shot with black primer already. NO final painting has been done yet. Thoughts?
  4. Getting really close to the finish line now…
  5. Joe, what’s happening brother! There’s quite a bit going on with those pipes. The pipes themselves are brass tubing and the mufflers are aluminum tubing. Brass was painted with Alclaad (I don’t remember what color but probably dark aluminum). The mufflers were left unfinished. Nothing looks more like metal than real metal.👍 The staining is a mix of clear Tamiya acrylic blue, red and orange, all blended together with Tamiya weathering powders. They aren’t perfect by any stretch, but for a first attempt, I’m pretty pleased with the outcome.
  6. Here are the latest progress updates on the ‘40 build. Getting closer to completion now.
  7. Droid rhymes with rhoid, which is something none of us want.
  8. Waves are a friendly thing to hand out as long as they aren’t one finger.
  9. Person to person makes communication much less ambiguous.
  10. Family comes first.
  11. Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play…
  12. Wow, great selection.
  13. Got some flocking. I picked up the grey. Wish they had black…
  14. FINALLY got the exhaust done! Man I thought I’d never finish this step.
  15. Interesting. What section is that in? I wonder if they have embossing powder.?
  16. Hit the deck!
  17. Progress so far on the exhaust system. I’m using bendable tubing from hobby lobby. Pinning the pipes in place and maybe using a few 3D printed dress up parts.
  18. “Squirrel!!” is exactly how I feel when I find cool models for sale.
  19. Check this out!
  20. I ate some outdated pudding one time and got sick. Does that count?
  21. Masses of models always bring a smile to my face.
  22. I’m calling the engine finished.
  23. Shine on, you crazy diamond.
  24. I hear ya. Indiana is just as exciting as Ohio in the winter.?
  25. I think I do a little more in the winter. But only because there's less to do outside. Since I got my paint booth, the seasons don't have much effect on that aspect anymore.
