  1. I probably will too!!
  2. Its a toss-up between these three; My original Airfix JB DB-5, which I just started yesterday, my Chitty Chitty Bang Bang....original, was still sealed, but I opened it since i'm going to build it too, and my Fujimi Ferrari 288 GTO kit No.9......VERY hard to find!!! -I don't care how rare, I build them all!!
  3. great job!!, love this kit!
  4. YES!!…...ANOTHER Cobra!!
  5. This sure is looking beautifully realistic!!!!, hope you get back into it!!
  6. A little update here; changing the wheels....
  7. Thanks, Patrick!, those aren't decals, I hand painted everything.....basically three times, since I did three THIN coats of each kolor. The DB-5 is the Doyusha "Goldfinger" kit.
  8. Thanks, Dennis!, Nice scratchbuilding!!, I don't mind you sharing here, I hope you start building yours again, and posting it here...….we can compare notes...lol
  9. Thanks, Matt!, and I keep thinking that my $250 was a great deal...You'd be mental NOT getting it!!!
  10. Thanks, JC!, its one of my favorite Lamborghinis.
  11. Here is the new firewall padding, i'm VERY happy with this one!
  12. I sure did!!….all of your builds
  13. Thanks, Ashley!, I've got some neat techniques for this one!
  14. Thanks, Jason!!, I cant really remember...lol, I will get back to you on that.
  15. They look VERY awesome!!!!…..nice job!!!
  16. Anybody who knows me, knows that I rarely follow the instructions, so I've decided to start with the interior. After rounding-off all the edges that were too sharp, I used a white colored pencil to mark where I needed to scribe the stitching seam-lines. Lamborghinis back then were hand made, so I didn't scribe perfectly straight lines, and some plastic "sagging" was left to help create realism. I opened up the shifter hole, so that it could move through the gate better. I will be scratchbuilding new seatbelt tie-downs, interior light, newer e-brake, better center counsel knobs, firewall trim that goes behind the headrests, and whatever else pops into my head as I go along. After painting over the speaker grilles with flat white, I drilled-out the holes. There were too many holes compared to my reference photo, so I drilled-out every other hole, and it looks great! To make it easier to fill, and sand the joint-seam on both sides of the guage enclosure, I first cut out the gauges, then glued, and sanded the two dash halves. I sanded off the stereo since i'm going to scratchbuild a newer one, and I cut the seatbelt slots where they retract to. Lastly, I stripped ALL the chrome parts.....especially that CRAPPY gold stuff!!!
  17. Hey everyone!, this is gonna be my first ever large scale build......and my last. A friend of mine gave me this kit, and I said that I don't normally do large scale, but if I did, it would be a Countach, so here I am! I say "upgrade", because EVERYBODY builds this kit as the kit specifies...….NOT me, I will be turning it into a later model 500s, while getting inspiration from the lesser-known Twin Turbo prototype, so there will be a TON of scratchbuilding involved! -thanks for checking it out!
  18. I've decided that i'm not totally happy with my firewall padding, so I am going to redo it with a bit thicker piece of sheet styrene.....same technique though.
