Yes I can. Sad to see. Thank you.

All I see is a tiny blue box ?.

Thanks Peter. Yes, recommend Little Car Company, don't be in a rush.

☝️? Holy cow, this could become a new game, who can show the worst ad pollution!

That was me, couldn't resist not dripping a hint. ? I've got another builder here who will get them.

Thanks! Yes, I've used those gauges on a few projects, such as the Renault R5 Turbo which had zero gauge detail. Got the Hobby Design fire extinguisher done. The set comes with a pair of 3 sizes, so I've done each size to date. For tiny photo-etch parts, this goes together relatively easy, helps to have a bender for the mount. Started another interior detail, will leave you guessing what it is. I always struggle to get a show car paint job. I had sprayed one coat of clear, quick wet-sanded, then sprayed a second, should be good enough for government work. Plan to wet-sand and polish later. I do love that nail 'polish' purple! Had also wet-sanded the top, before spraying clear. I'm not happy with the kevlar-fiber, just need to move on. Painted the trim, then installed the glass, which is a headphones box, a much better clear plastic than what you get at the hobby shop. Also love the Testors canopy glue, so much better than Elmers.

Cool, yet another Classic series Chevy pickup! You already ground off the door handles. ?

Looking good! Fixing a pet peeve of mine, a rally car with slicks just doesn't seem right.

Needs a set of those gold-plated wire wheels, and a Continental kit, with a razor wing attached to it. ?

Flow was interrupted with playing pool, wife threatened to beat me, I won 4-0, so could get back on this. The seatbelts are almost done, getting the two front seat belts that go on the B-pillar will be the final parts. Added yellow wire to the seat backs, which will hold surfboards; annoyed that the fat buckles don't let them fold all the way down now. Extra detail will be the fire extinguisher. See how today goes, with clear coating the paint, should allow to cure before wet-sanding. Then painting the interior around the windows, then paper paneling. I better practice that patience thing...... ? I could make the monitor for the back-up camera (in lieu of mirror), and a flat screen TV behind the co-pilot seat. I really want to make a surfboard, don't know a thing about them, but can't be that hard.

Thanks for explaining your process. Did a nice job on this resto-rod. I have the kit, and a newer engine, so some day......

You do really well with Splash paint. How do you avoid orange peel? What do you clear coat with? You're doing very nice work, just need to paint in the exhaust tip. ?

Heck of a reason to get back into the hobby, I would be interested to see a study of everyone here, in how we have dealt with the _________ compared to those who have nothing to do at home and have catastrophic cabin fever. Welcome!

Huh, I'm amazed any kit has hood hinges. I made metal hinges, wish I could do pins that wouldn't shear or break. I'm sure antique watch makers have the knowledge for such things. I had also recently ordered magnets, they sure can be useful! Tested my vision, finesse, and patience with these microscopic toggle switches.

If I had built this when the forum existed, or started recently, would probably be up to a dozen pages. Thank you! I know right? ? Wet-sanded the body and sprayed the second coat of purple, a little better this time. Worked on the interior chassis today. I know the Top Studio toggle switches are hardly Porsche Design worthy, but wanted to use them, 3 on the counsel and 2 on the dash. Added a gauge on the counsel, to show the nitrous pressure (think that's a good excuse for using one of those cool decals). Detail Master "tuner" pedals, I had their previous product which is simpler, when I started in 2003. Started on the speakers, cone done on 4 so far. Painted the Detail Master photo-etch grills, when I did the Studio 27 seatbelt buckles, and struts. Added the nitrous button to the steering wheel. Glued the carpet in.

Needs the hood "scoop" popping through the hood, sideways. It's a design by committee, so you better consider all suggestions. ?

that's aged more

Nice job! This is making me want to get one, have seen a few built. If they are doing a series, will there be a Lamborghini?

Finished the shocks, with the second steel mount, and paint. Chose yellow and blue for the Bilstein look. Not at all thrilled about the seat base result, I've been soured with Scale Motorsports decals, will have to get their solvent before totally dissing them. Got the chassis painted, again. Thinking of not doing the Rhino-liner texture now. Repositioned the Captain chair location further forward, since the table was added after the original fabrication. Also used wire pins, so there are just holes in the floor instead of the rails, so when the seat is removed it is an improvement. Also ditched the fiber-optic lighting. I kept breaking the fibers, had broken a taillight run, that was the biggest size, replaced, then for some reason the other side wasn't lit, so ripped all but the battery box out. This hobby supposed to be fun, not a fountain of frustration. ?
