  1. Another great show! I'm really pleased to get recognition. I was surprised the MINI Coupe got something, the Curbside class was full of good builds. Making great friends too, who have told me they have seen my stuff other places.
  2. -powered hospital beds
  3. That is beautiful! I will have to pull out my kit and see the differences. Can see you blued the exhaust pipe.
  4. Depends what the subject is. For a junker sitting around a long time, the grayer the better, for a new show car with the Armor-All treatment, almost gloss black. I tried glass bead blasting vinyl tires on a project, no paint, looked great.
  5. I own a 2016 EX-T Coupe, so will consider this just because it's a 10th generation Civic. I do wish Honda would produce the R in the Coupe body, seems stupid not to.
  6. Completed a diorama display of the Mercedes 170V Roadster that I finished last December. It was fun to make the Pinon tree and rockwork. Added some wildlife, a Kaibab Squirrel, Steller's Jay and a Raven. I do wish a limb on the tree was longer, but I would never finish it. LOL
  7. pressure sand-blasting Timmy YES
  8. I have a couple of parts box ideas. Nice to see you do such a great job using limited resources!
  9. Not so, I have bumped against a limit, and removed some of my pictures, but that will only work for so long.
  10. Don't rope me into a dependency relationship to force me to feel better about myself! Tsk tsk. I have 3 projects, lurking in my demented mind, crying for me to finish them. Meanwhile, a new project (or many) is shouting louder, little voices every time I walk past my stash, "build me ....." One of my WIP was moved along recently, but now I need to vaccuform some parts, and that triggered me to halt. A Cord....... I just got the Monogram 812, just because I got the book The Tom Mix Cord from a local bookstore. Now explain why I did that, since I'm not really into classics, more into exotic sports cars, but the Coffin nosed phaeton is so cool looking.
  11. Great job using paint! Cool TR6! Seems like 1:43 and/or 1:32 scale are available, but I prefer 1:24/5. When I was in high school, got a ride home in one, but the shocks were worn out, seemed like we were dragging our butts on the pavement.
  12. Looks great! I've had to mix for a proper BRG before. If I wasn't so obsessed about Ferraris, would get this kit too.
  13. It should be a requirement, that when one posts a car with lots of chrome, that you tell us Bare Metal foil, or Molotov pen was used! I'm amazed you used water-based paints, I've been bitterly clinging to using enamels, but for some things like interior parts, am using acrylics. Nice job!
  14. How cool is this? Love the black on red. Did you use Bare Metal foil? Memories, isn't it amazing how we have the sense of smell logged into our memory bank? My dad's Mercedes with the wool upholstery, his Auto Union DKW with the two stroke and military canvas, my current 1969 Chevy pickup with gas fumes coming through the holes in the firewall. Too bad this is a Revell, only because the GSL Common Kit is Tamiya's Bug. It looks like a nice kit. My parents also owned not one, but two Beetles, before I was born, and am planning to start .... and finish next year.
