Lol, thanks Phil. I wish it were that easy, I'd have a lot of badass cars...haha. Thanks Carl!

Thanks man...this is exactly how I'd want one if I could have a 1:1. Thank you.

Thanks Mark!

Thanks man, always been a favorite of mine as well. Eightyone81 has some awesome stuff, and the shipping was very quick.

Awesome looking model! As everything else you build, this is top notch!

2nd time ever using an airbrush to paint a body. Scalefinishes paint is awesome!

Thank you guys for following this build, it can now be seen under glass

Finally able to post this one under glass. Thank you for all the comments to you guys that were following this build. Definitely going to enter this one into the Hope it Don't Snow Show in January. Kit is a Tamiya MKIV Supra, engine is a Model Meister single turbo setup. Wheels are from eightyone81.com and are CCW Classics. Paint is from Scalefinishes and is a Toyota Royal Sapphire Blue Pearl with Scalefinishes 2k clear. My first time simulating any type of lines/hoses so go easy on me, lol. Thanks for looking and enjoy!

Got the spoilers clearcoated today...will be posting under glass in just a few.

So these finally got here last night, and I managed to get them cut and applied to the front and rear spoilers. This is my first time working with Scale Motorsports graphics, and they are awesome. Thought I was going to have some trouble, but after a little bit of struggle I got it. I used the Tamiya Tape templet method and cut out the decal from that. These decals are definitely made well, and don't tear/crack easily. Going to let them dry for a day, then put some clear on them...also going to be a first for me. Any tips besides do very, very light coats, and waiting 30 min between coats?

Both look awesome but, as others said, with the wheel tire size combo .....rake it.

Thanks a lot guys....this is probably my favorite paint job to date. Can't wait to get my carbon fiber decals in and get this thing under glass so I can start back on my 55 Cameo Pro Touring build.

Managed to get my decals on last night, minus the carbon fiber for the two spoilers. Still waiting on that to get here. Also still have to install the mirrors, probably going to put those on last to keep from breaking them off. I also detailed the underside of the chassis/exhaust/hot side of the turbo and under the hood.

Thanks Tom! Got a little more left to do on it before it goes Underglass. But I am extremely satisfied with the paint on this. Scalefinishes knocked it out of the park on this factory Toyota color. This is probably one of my best paint jobs...not bad for my 2nd time using an airbrush

Thanks Dave! Feels good to be back at the bench.

I bet you guys thought I had fallen off of the face of the earth, lol. I'm back after a long time away from the bench due to my 1:1 taking priority. Headgasket started weeping water under boost (31psi for 7 years on stock head bolts, what could I expect, lol.) So the past months have went to working on this, and getting it dialed in and small minor stuff. I'll include pics of it Anyways, let's get to what we are all here for, lol. I'm almost done with the Supra. There weren't many pictures to take of it after where I left off. I had to custom make an exhaust which is scaled to a 4" since it's running a big single turbo setup. I also wrapped the downpipe to make it look like it had heat wrap on it. Go easy on me on the lines, this is my first time running brake lines/fuel lines. I still have to detail the exhaust and the bottom side of the chassis as well as the engine compartment. Also, I still have to put the mirrors and the wing on. In these pics, the wing is just sat on so that's why there is a gap. I am waiting on my scalemotorsports carbon fiber decals to get here to do the rear wing and front lip. I quickly threw some white fabric on the bench and snapped the last few pics with my phone.

Awesome build! Love this color, would like to paint my 70 SS Monte Carlo this color. What is the name/brand?? Looks close to Safari Yellow? I bought this same kit 2 weekends ago at AC Moore using a 55% off coupon, lol. Plan on painting my Copo this Green Mist Metallic.

Looks awesome slammed on the rallies with the LS motor....reminds me of my stalled out project. A 55 Cameo pro-touring truck. Tamiya Clear Orange Over Tamiya Mica Silver, with a SSR engine and seats.

Alright guys, nobody here knows, but I collect Oakley Sunglasses ....on top of all of my other hobbies, lol. I found something that I'd love to build to put in my collection of my Oakley's. Oakley Headquarters had a Russian BMP-1 Tank that they logo'd up and used for demos and promos etc. Someone on the Oakley forum that I'm a member of builds them and sells them...for a crazy retarded price. Knowing that I've never built a tank, but I'm sure I can build it, I am not going to pay his price. So, I did some digging and I think I found the correct kit (which he wouldn't tell me what it is) and some pics of the actual tank for reference. I've never built a tank before, nor have I printed my own decals out. I'd love to build this sucker up and put it in my display case with all my sunglasses. So I turn to you fellas that will help anyone out, unlike the guy over on the Oakley forum, lol. Could someone possibly take the graphics that are on this tank and scale them down for a 1/35 tank model size? I'll be more than happy to reimburse you for your troubles. I will attach pics of the tank, his model, and the actual kit which I believe is correct. The skull is also what should be on the port covers. Also attached is my collection as of now. Thanks in advance! Scott

Stalled out due to my 1:1 go fast car, needing a head gasket resulting in mods that weren't needed but done anyways because it was apart, lol. Started this in February, crappy thing is, I could probably take a couple of days to a week and finish it and have it looking schweet. I'll get back started as soon as I get finished getting my 1:1 dyno tuned. And I started this one in Christmas of 2015, and got pissed off at it with some fitment issues, so I started the Supra....again, probably could spend a week and be finished with it.

Or this??? LOL!

This build is so awesome! Extremely clean and a lot going on. Love it man.

Managed to get a little bit done yesterday evening. I decided to airbrush all of the wheel wells semi gloss black so it would look correct. Also, I got all of the suspension minus the brakes in place, and I got the fuel lines ran and secured to the chassis. I also completed the headlights to look like the 98 models.

This being my first one I am definitely going to be a returning customer. The results are awesome!

Got all the black trim on the body and undercarriage (minus the driveshaft and support plate) finished up yesterday. I love the airbrush for this, no bleed through on any of the taped areas. I brushed the headlight areas to be completed tonight with chrome in the bulb areas. Also did the tail lights as well.
