I built the street version and the race version many, many years ago. Love what you did to this race wagon.

Awesome!

Looks fantastic!

Harem Scarem!! Their tune No Justice is still awesome.

Not much to show right now. Did some more work last night. Painting all of those tiny pieces, getting another small step closer to finishing the engine. I'm almost done with the engine and chassis, then I can start trying my hand at weathering it slightly. I'm not going for an old truck vibe, I want it to stay looking like a "new" truck.

Actually, After I ordered, I got a refund of a few bucks because shipping worked out to less! Items are already en route to me.

For me, essential Canadian bands and some of my thoughts on them: Our Lady Peace - their debut album was Naveed, and to this day it still goes down as one of my all time favourites. I Mother Earth - the debut album DIG is still amazing. The follow up, Scenery & Fish, is even better. The Tea Party - Edges of Twilight. Just go find it. Big Wreck - Gee. Tar. That is all. Big Sugar - amazing live band. That much nopise and sound from a three piece? Awesome. Sons of Freedom - a little more alternative and obscure, but two very solid early 90s albums. Awesome band. Bootsauce - like your Red Hot Chili Peppers? This is right up your alley. Varga - because there's always time for some old school thrash metal Slik Toxik - because why not fly the flag for hair metal. Doin' The Nasty is cheesy and awful and it's fantastic. Skinny Puppy - godfathers of industrial music. Their song Worlock is one of my all time favs.

I've been looking for a 1:1 J-series trucks for a long time now. People either want crazy money, or there's more rust than metal.

I succumbed. Ordered the duallie kit and a fifth wheel kit this morning. Looks like I have another trailer and a Meng kit to get started on!

I hope mine can look half this good when I'm done with it!

If that was RHD, it would be be exactly like dozens of Subaru wagons I see around here everyday! Looks perfect, love the racks, box, and bike.

Just wow. Turned out amazing!

Nothing new to report, just wanted to update though. On a side note, thanks to all of you truck people, now I'm noticing and rubbernecking at trucks when I'm roadtripping, and now I feel like I need more truck kits.

Great looking build!

I'm trying to avoid that site. Too much good stuff I want to order! Fifth wheel hitch, duallie conversion for the Meng F350...

I have a couple of the Meng F350 kits. This will end up behind one. After I fab up a fifth wheel, the Galaxie gooseneck trailer will get put to use behind the other. Wish someone would make a kit of a new Ram. But Chrysler are notoriously sticky about licensing their stuff.

Definitely one of the more interesting takes on the New Beetle! and I think it mostly works. The only thing I would work on is the back of the cab on that overhead view. It's curved, and the bed cover is straight. Otherwise, I dig it! Then colours are just right, and the mid-engine works great!

I say enough is enough when I stop having fun with it. Then it's time to move on. No matter what I'm doing, or how detailed I'm trying to get, when it stops being fun, I stop doing it. I apply this to pretty much everything.

The Audi 80 is a Fujimi kit. Nice kit...right until final assembly. The chassis does not fit into the body nicely. 4X4 ride height. Even if I remove the interior, it still sits ridiculously high. Ticked me off so much I'll probably never do an under glass post for it.

Another built I never really got pics of before. Picked up this Galaxie 20ft car hauler. Pretty simple kit, went together well though. Kits comes with a ton of decals, so lots of options for logos, plates, warning labels, etc. Could probably spend a little more time detailing the interior, make it a little more realistic. I have the Galaxie 38ft 5th wheel trailer, so may play with that one a little more. Just need to build a decent pickup kit now to display this properly. And make some Alberta license plates for it. And I need to remember to wipe down my kits with a microfibre cloth or something before I take pics.

This one's been done a while. Was a quick build of a snap kit, mainly as a paint experiment. I used automotive paint on this, just to see how it would turn out. I finished the two-tone, was pretty happy with it, then managed to drop something on the driver's door, and chipped the paint. So I masked, repainted, and now it has a slightly mismatched door, just like most real Tahoes! I also flocked the interior, but didn't get any pics of that. A little more time and I could fix this up. I'll probably use this as my experiment vehicle. Next test...BMF the wheel arches.

I wouldn't say I'm sick of it, but I've noticed lately that just about every interview with a hockey player uses the word "obviously" at least twice. "Well, obviously that was a hard game..." "Obviously we didn't get the puck in the zone like we wanted..." Could almost turn it into a drinking game.

I really like where this is going.

Digging that Caprice!

Well there's a nice pick-me-up this morning. Glad I could help lift your spirits in some way. On a related note, your package is being couriered out of here today. Hope your son gets home safe and soon.
