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!

It's the world's most exciting update. Started sanding and smoothing the fuel tanks last night.

For me, the guitar is my big hobby. I've played the guitar for almost 30 years now. I still jam with the guys from the band I had in high school. I also rebuild/restomod guitars. I also enjoy camping and the associated hiking and mountain biking that go with it. And I'm a voracious reader.

I love these old ESCI kits. I have the standard G Wagon kit, the molded in green one. I should bump that up on the "to do" list, as it's just such a neat kit.

Hit up an antique fair yesterday. $10 CDN for the pair.

So believe it or not, my local International dealer does not currently have a Prostar in stock. is anyone able to find a Prostar and snap some pics of the rear chassis, and lower engine compartment? I want to get some pics of how the brake and airlines are run. From the rear suspension and air tanks, to the compressors and pieces under the hood. Google search isn't helpful. Thanks! Dan

This is turning out really nice.

Working on plumbing lines right now. Trying to find pics of a 1:1 chassis or brake set up has been a challenge. Might have to stop by a dealership and take a few pics. Got the body painted, really happy with how it turned out. Shouldn't need much polishing at all. Have to detail paint first though, then add clear. More pics soon.
