I do things much more simply. A six drawer plastic drawer unit. Interior, extrerior, engine, suspension, wheels/tires and completes. A large tote and gallon ziplocks for partial kits/rebuilders.

This what half round stock is made for. -
Very nice work. Something I'd be proud to have in my display.

Cool. Another option open to you is to find a real car online that fits your idea and then contact the owner online. You'd be surprised how forthcoming folks can be with photos and technical info when they hear you want to build a model.
-
Yep. You need to be a little bit more specific in your needs.

Those wheels are slick. I like it.

1967 Pontiac GTO/Monkey Mobile - What if...
Jantrix replied to Koellefornia Kid's topic in Model Cars
Outstanding work. I like it quite a lot. -
I've wondered. Why would a race car have the spare mounted on the car at all?

AMT 1934 Ford Truck Custom

I like this. A master class in kitbashing right here. -
This isn't something I'd ever take on as a project but I do appreciate the lines of the 911 and I love me some whale tail. So I will be following along. I dig the attention to detail, nice work.

Go to the IPMS web page and you can find a local chapter I'm sure.

This has hit kinda close to home. He's has always been one of my very favorite entertainers from a young age. Dad had all the LP's and as a pretty PG rated comedian, they were mine to enjoy. We watched and enjoyed the Cosby Show and he sorta became America's dad. I've seen him live and always thought the world of the guy. To hear the allegations and know what he was, those old bits are hard to listen to when they pop up on my Pandora comedy station.

Far far far from my cup of tea.

I like this and feel the same way. -
I'm doing a shadowbox dio. With a plexigrass front cover, there will be no dust issues. Plus, it's wall mountable so shelf space is not an issue. PLUS, it's a finite amount of space so it's doesn't take on a life of it's own and continue to grow like some dio's I have seen over the years.

He made it more comfortable, drive better, perform better in every way. What's your complaint? He removed bumperettes, blacked the grill and removed ugly trim. If it was uch a great car in it's original state, you'de see more of them. -
https://www.bare-metal.com/experts-choice-decal-film.html Print those on some ink jet (if you have a GOOD printer), or laser jet water slide decal paper. Be sure to print on the white paper for those. I'd had good luck with it.

Now I know where they went!

Every once in a while Tom throws that model back on the forums just to see how how many people he can catch with it. Go ahead and show them the back of the car now Tom. -
That's definitely a new one on me, but it's not surprising. Marketting is everything, but it really grinds my gears when it a driving factor on major decisions of the creation of a film. Sony single handedly destroyed the first Spider-Man franchise with it's interference. "WE GOTTA HAVE MORE ACTION FIGURES, SCREW MAKING A GOOD FILM!

I bought this with plan of doing a box art build, I just haven't gotten to it yet.

Let me bump up the size of that font for ya there Bruce. Thanks much. That's exactly what I was gonna post today. There are several builds that I saw in January that I REALLY wanna see on race day (cough-Zenrat-cough). Don't let me down.

A couple of comic book backing boards. It's poster board at near double thickness. I sprayed it with standard grey primer and by some happy accident it dried rather mottled and varied. It's a very convicing. Thanks guys, I plan to get back on this this weekend.

In Florida we have these rather large golden silk orb-weaver spiders, commonly called banana spiders. I've seen them cover an area over some stagnant water in huge web colonies of 10-20 spiders, covering 20 feet. They just set up in the right spot and feast on the mosquitos. Quite industrious. They get a bad rap unfortunately. Although large and scary looking they are pretty harmless. Unless you are a bug.

When you are being instructed on something new by person "A", and you're a bit confused but you have the gist of it, and dismiss person "A" so you can read over everything and come back with questions. Then person "B" comes over and says, "Don't listen to what he said, this is how ya do it". And then procedes to transform what was once a semi-cohesive idea into a possible aneurism. I'm positive more murders are caused by this than are actually documented.
