Toast

Threw together a little collage of a GMC Syclone that is at a local classic car dealership. These pickups have always held a special spot in my heart!

We're planning on going!

What's your bets that these are the same thing? The large can is $3 less. 🤦‍♂️

Put together a video of cars from a local monthly roll-in. Lots of variety, old to new, and all styles of cars and trucks show up. A few bikes always show up too but I stuck to footage of cars and trucks.

That thing is awesome!

Awesome work! I dig the concept and very clean building!

Thank you. My daughter and I have attended a couple figure painting classes at a local game store. They definitely came in handy building this kit.

Great work! I really like the tattoos and dice.

I had been fiending over this kit since I found out about it. It was on my list of gets and was lucky to win it at NNL North this spring. It's been on my bench slowly going together next to my other projects. Wrapped it up tonight. This was my first time working with 3D printed resin. The kit was really fun to build and paint. My daughter helped me make the base with dirt from the yard. It's painted with Army Painter and Vallejo acrylics.

The kit has decals for the red but only for one side of the fins so I masked and painted them. Worked out I have a Mustang that needed some red paint as well so made progress on two kits last night. Now time for decals, clear, and a bunch of chrome!

Ooh grab me an umbrella and some poutine! I'd love to grab some footage at a rainy car show. Great pictures. The rain on the cars and the contrast of their bright colors against the hazy background really make them stand out. Thank you for sharing.

Wow there's a lot of fat tries at that roll in! Some good inspiration. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

One of our favorite car shows we check out every year. All years and styles are welcome so it's always a really good variety.

Great start! That's a perfect reason to build the car. It will be a cool memory attached to your finished kit. I also have one of these kits and have yet to start it. There are lots of in progress builds in this forum so scroll through the pages and you'll find some valuable info for building these kits.

Thanks. I try to put videos together that are at least a little entertaining to sit through. Goofball helps quite a bit. Yeah I'm dreading the day our youngest decides she's too cool to hang out at the bench with me. I can sometimes get our oldest to sit if we all have a protect to work on.

Really cool 80s cars and trucks at this show. Some amazingly preserved originals and some great customs.

Slowly plugging away at this build still. I wasn't thrilled with the way the rear wheel openings looked. But luckily my daughter lost interest in her Ecto-1 she was building. So it donated its rear fenders and this Ecto-1 has some wide hips to hold the big drag tires. After a good amount of putty, sanding, filler primer, and re-scribing door lines, it got a coat of sealer and white paint!

I really tried to get all the entries into this video but there were so many and I kept getting distracted throughout the day. It was really great to catch up with fellow builders and even met a few new friends. Amazing builds in every category.

Amazing show! Pictures and video downloading to my computer as I type. I'll put it together and hopefully post it up in the next few days.

We've got what we're planning on bringing completed. And I'll second visiting Scale Model Supplies if you're traveling from out of the area.

I started documenting some of the processes used during my recent builds. This is something I've wanted to try for a while and like the way it turned out. My setup was very simplified and it worked well.

I like where this is going!

It was definitely worth the travel! Drove to Indianapolis for the eclipse and thankfully the sky was clear. Spent the day at the speedway. Tons of fun activities put on by Purdue and IMS. Our youngest loved the hands on projects and we got to geek out around some racecars. Both kids agreed it was worth sitting in the truck for two days driving there and back.

Going to be in Indianapolis area this week with family and want to visit the speedway. Looks like tours are throughout the day but anyone in the area have any tips for us tourists?

Oh yeah. This one will be on my bench!
