  1. Looks Outstanding! -love everything about it!!
  2. Wow, its too bad you had those problems -VERY unexpected from a Tamiya kit, but you did do a nice klean job of it! Q: was it your windscreen that was warped, not wanting to fit?
  3. I think you did a fantastic job on it........and the others!, Q:did the mesh come with the Revell kit? IMO, it barely looks like a Revell, more like a top-end Japanese kit! -Very well done!!
  4. Great job!! -nice to see an "out-of-the-norm" color choice! great photos too!
  5. I think they are very clean, and very nice, but you do actually know it too.
  6. Extremely nice build!! -love the clean detailing, the wheel/tyre choice/ stance, and the metallic flames are sweet!!
  7. There is only one kit that has given me nothing but trouble from the beginning, and unfortunately its my favorite car of all time -the Lamborghini Countach. The Fujimi Enthusiast kit, to be precise. My first attempt was in 1988/89. For me it has to be white with semigloss black vents and trim, and a light beige with black accent interior. While I've never had problems building it up and detailing it, the white paint has ALWAYS never come out right for me. First time I sprayed white, junk ended-up getting stuck in it. Another time, when I actually got the white done right, I got black overspray on the white body that didn't polish-out very well, and yet another time after having to keep sanding junk out of the white finish, there were so many coats of white and clear that none of the body parts would fit anymore. I took a 6 1/2 year break from modeling, and joined the Army. After I got out, I tried another white Fujimi Countach, and all the same problems cycled right back. Talk about ANNOYING!! I don't believe in stripping bodies, to me, that's just adding more depressing work. I think Fujimi made a small fortune off me with the Enthusiast Countach kit, because since 1988/89 til present, I've purchased and destroyed 16 kits! Looking back, I think that maybe God knew that eventually Aoshima was going to come out with a Countach kit that would kick the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH outta Fujimis -AND THEY DID!!!!! So, to make a long story short, the Army made me persistant, my wife gives me encouragement, God gave me the talent, and Aoshima gave me THE kit! The ONLY thing that could improve the Aoshima kit, is if it had a complete engine to build., soooooo, as of right now, I am in the process of putting a complete Fujimi engine in my Aoshima kit, and its working swell
  8. Some of my favorite cars, Scott!! -cant wait to see them!! -I have the Fujimi Fairlady 430z kit, its pretty sweet too. it has two optional engines in it as well.
  9. My wife wanted me to tell you, thank you so much for your kindness and input! -I tried to get her to get her own account, but she just hasn't got around to it yet. she says she doesn't build as much as us yet to have one yet. I think she still should.
  10. Pretty darn nice!! Q:what kit is this? MPC?
  11. Outstanding job!!

  14. Know that feeling all too well. You showed better control than me, just last week I lost it over the body on my Tamiya Ferrari F-40 Shell kit and I totally crunched it up in my hands and threw it away. Thank God I had another one.
