That turned out nice! Looks great!

Dark Grey Metallic upper half, black lower half, lime green or Smurf blue detailing/striping.

Okay, I'll play. Me in the mountains, fairly recent pic. And my last Halloween costume. A costume that included a van.

Awesome band. I'm a huge fan of industrial music. Been listening to Laibach for a long time now.

Twelve?! I'm not even sure I could pull that off now! Would be interesting to see you build the same thing now; with everything you've learned since you were twelve. Same theme, same mods, improved technique.

That's some excellent work. Love the subject matter!

Fav Euopean bands. So many great bands, how to narrow this down? I won't bother posting up any Pink Floyd, as we all know what they sound like. Pop Will Eat Itself - absolutely love these guys. Have been collecting their music and merch since the very early 90s. In Flames - love my metal, and these guys are in constant rotation in the truck. Rammstein - Can't say enough good things about these guys. Keaton Henson - awesome songwriter. Love the darkness of his work.

Excellent build!

I love where you're going with this.

Yeah, I have a couple of the campers. Want a truck though!

Early May update: Nothing to update. Been getting a lot of painting and building done, but unfortunately it's a fence, not a kit! Out of town this week on business, hoping to get some bench time this weekend.

It's funny to see those. You look at how race teams arrive at the track now and then compare that to this. Fully enclosed massive race haulers with office space, living space, and full garage/shop setups...compared to a couple of cars strapped to a flatdeck.

I like the direction. A lot.

I find these transporters fascinating. Would be great to see that Shelby truck restored properly. On a somewhat related note, over in the Big Truck Workbench section, there's a guy converting one of the Revell London Bus kits into a transporter. Pretty awesome build.

It's insane isn't it? I mean, it's not like it's an ESCI Transit van or something.

Nelson DeMille's books are excellent. The Charm School is still my favourite of his. I usually have two books on the go at one. Some sort of fiction, and a music biography of some kind. I'm just finishing Sekret Machines by Tom Delonge. Yes, the guy from Blink 182. The book is excellent, all about Dreamland and reverse engineering alien technology. It's a big one, 700 pages, but it's good. Apparently the first book of a trilogy. Also recently read Adrenalized by Phil Collen from Def Leppard. Pretty good book. Before that, it was Lita Ford's Living Like A Runaway. Not a great book. She really glossed over a lot of things. Much like Tommy Lee's book, this just seemed really definesive.

I think the colour is just about perfect. And the big spoiler/wing is the way to go on this one. Before laying down clear, I would do something about the panel gaps for the doors. Something looks off about them. The edges almost look a little rounded? Of course now that you're happy with the paint, it may be too late to go back and fix that. So just do a wash or something on those panel lines and clear that thing!

Love the 8-series. Can't say that I've ever seen a kit of one. I guess there's another I need to add to my want list! Colour is perfect. I worked for a local BMW dealer in the late 90s, and it seemed like every 8-series we had come around was either this green or dark blue.

That is fantastic! Awesome idea for changing up a van build.

Just finished a trade with intmd8r. Arrived quickly, was packaged safely, and exactly as described. Would trade again.

Whoever is in charge needs to lay off the musicians and start taking politicians instead.

Easy one for me. Nick Cave.

Awesome! One day I'm going to suck it up and buy the resin Doka version. Wish someone made the Vanagon style Transporter. I had an '85 that I highly modified. Would love to build a replica.

Your detail work is amazing!

I like the kits that are a little different. Nice build!
