Great looking Nissan in a great color! That kit is high up on my want list!

Thanks Jim, yes I did. I wet-sanded starting with 6000, then 8000, and 12000, polished with Novus #2, and put on a coat of Meguiar's Cleaner Wax.

LOL, sorry about that, no amount of lotion was going to help this one ?. Thanks guys!

Excellent looking Mustang! Great color choices as well!

Thanks everyone!

Very nice looking Lancia! Your background piece is exceptionally done as well and adds quite a bit to your pics.

This one was originally built in November of 2019 as an entrant for a Box Stock Build-Off. The paint was a custom mix of craft paints with Pledge Floor Gloss as the clear. Unfortunately the clear cracked almost immediately, but I was still able to take pics because the cracking wasn't noticeable enough to show up in the pics. I always knew I would take it back apart to add some extra details otherwise not allowed in said Box Stock rules, but was unsure about a re-paint. Last week I decided to go ahead and do what needed to be done and took it apart, not completely, just enough to add the details and give it a re-paint. I chose to go with Tamiya X-34 Metallic Brown through my airbrush with Createx UVLS 4050 as the clear this time around. I added valve stems to the wheels, and a coil, spark plug wires, and heater hoses to the engine. I did manage to break a windshield post during the process, but otherwise everything went fairly smooth. First pic shows the cracked original paint.

Very nice, and a sharp color choice! You did a great job on an underwhelming kit!

2K is great stuff, but I don't have the means or supplies to be able to use it at the moment.

Thanks guys!

Nice looking Nissan!

Nice looking Skyline!

That's a nice looking Mustang!

That's a beauty!

Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

Last weekend I fixed one of my biggest modeling regrets over these last five years. When I built this Revell 1968 Chevelle SS396 about 2 years ago, I thought the paint and clear looked good enough to not wet-sand and polish. Almost immediately after completion, I wished I had spent the time to do it. Fast forward to last weekend and I finally decided to go through the process. It was pretty tricky since I did not remove the body to do so, but thankfully nothing was lost or broken and I think it looks so much better now. Last two pics are good comparison pics.

That's pretty slick, and something I could definitely use, lol!

Great pics of some great looking models! Thanks for sharing!

That is fantastic!

That looks pretty slick! Quite an imaginative engine swap as well.

Fantastic looking Charger! Great color and wheel/tire choice!

Well done! I haven't figured out a color for mine yet.

Awesome! Very cool!

Too bad about the hood, but the completed work looks beautiful!

Another outstanding build Randy!
