    Beautiful job on the paint, this looks great!

    Thanks, guys!

    Thanks, guys! Ouch! it seems like there's always one that gets away.

    Thanks, guys! Good catch! I haven't found a mule figure that I really liked as a starting point yet, so at the moment I'm just leaving it off. If I do, or if I get inspired to carve one myself, I'll be updating this build. As for the decals, they're on the "Gasser Mini Sheet #36," available here: http://www.slixx.com/8060.htm?id=5505

    Pepe the Little Mule, built from Revell's '80 Ford Bronco. The base kit is really close, but needed a lot of little details changed including a reshaped grille guard, relocated sideview mirrors, bench seat, custom roll bar with 6x driving lights, dual gas cans, and a rolled rear pan. I used tires from a couple of diecast cars mounted on rims from HoppersBazaar, and the sidepipes were from an AMT Camaro. The door decals were from a recent Slixx set. A full writeup of what went into this build is available here, any comments/criticisms are welcome!

    This was a box-stock build of Revell's '48 Ford Convertible, the only change I made was making my own license plates. Paint is Maize Yellow by ScaleFinishes. A full writeup of what went into this build is available here, any comments/criticisms are welcome!

    Built from Fujimi's Daytona Speciale kit with a few alterations to look like Sonny Crockett's ride from the first two seasons of Miami Vice. The changes include deleted wing windows, square headlights, square mirrors, and a car phone. I didn't want to go full "kit car" (as represented by the Revell kit), but I did like the idea of the car being personalized over the years. A full writeup of what went into this build is available here, any comments/criticisms are welcome!

    I dig it, too. Certainly not the strangest car in Batman's garage, and with that engine it should perform admirably!

    Wow, nicely done!

    I feel your pain...I just wrapped up one of these kits earlier this year, and it's not the easiest to work with as far as getting things straight on it. Looks like you've got all the broad strokes down and know where you need to go from here, so I'm looking forward to seeing the Odyssey!

    "Kei car, K-car, or kei jidōsha (軽自動車, lit. "light automobile") is the Japanese legal category for the smallest and most limited power, highway-legal motor vehicles, including passenger cars (kei cars or kei-class cars), microvans, and Kei trucks (kei-class pickup trucks). Kei-cars are designed to comply with these Japanese regulations, most prominently a vehicle length and width below 3.40 m (11 ft 2 in) and 1.48 m (4 ft 10 in) respectively, and engine volume and power below 660 cc (40.3 cu in) and maximum 64 PS (47 kW; 63 hp). They enjoy both tax and insurance benefits, and in most rural areas are also exempted from the requirement to certify that adequate parking is available for the vehicle."

    Love the athletic tape as Volcano Wrap, that's brilliant!
  20. spencer1984
    So far so good!

    If you can get the stub out of the wheel, Rat Roaster's idea is the best way to get a strong and correctly aligned repair.

    Congrats on the new camera! When polish gets into panel lines like that, I usually take a toothpick or toothbrush to help get it cleaned out. You'll want to get it as clean as possible before you repaint.
  23. spencer1984
    Nice clean work, that looks great!

    Count me in, too. I've been wanting an Imperator for years, and have almost but not quite talked myself into a full scratchbuild. Seeing what you do here may push me one way or the other!
  25. spencer1984
    Thanks, guys! I haven't checked it directly against the newer tool but that's what I've heard. I'll be converting it to a non-RS front end, hopefully fixing the weird headlights in the process.
