  1. Nicely done! I built one of these into a Batmobile a while back, and found it to be a much better kit than I would have expected. I want to build another one some day as the car my parents had for a while in the early '80s.
  2. Nicely done, the V6 is a great touch and fits the new proportions perfectly!
  3. I first read Jurassic Park the year before the movie came out, and was hooked immediately. The Land Cruiser tour cars mentioned in the text were always something that I wanted to build in scale, but since the descriptions of them were a bit sparse it took me a few brainstorming sessions over the next few years to come up with a design that I liked and felt fit the time and style of the story. The kit was Tamiya's 80 VX Limited, modified to look like a not-quite-finished preproduction variant. Custom additions include a scratchbuilt electric motor/transmission setup, generic dashboard with 2x late '80s computer monitors, and graphics I drew up in Illustrator.
  4. This is coming along nicely, great job!
  5. Looks like some nice clean work, great job!
  6. Nicely done, that turned out great!
  7. Yes-ish. I think the Ford was originally listed as 1/25, the Buick 1/26, and the Dodge 1/24.
  8. Some very cool subjects here, count me among those happy to have certain subjects regardless of what the material is. Here are a few that I've modified:
  9. That looks great in blue, nice work!
  10. Awesome work, that looks great!
  11. Looks great, nice work!
  12. I always liked this one myself, it looks good in the Gulf colors! What did you make the exhaust nozzle from?
  13. Huh, they did the same thing on the stripes for their Jack Reacher Chevelle. I thought it was just a one-kit problem, but it sounds like their decal designer(s) forgot to do the knockout on multiple sheets...
  14. That's the only thing I can think of every time I see this kit. I was going to build the heroes' Rambler Rebel some day.
  15. Looks good!
  16. Thanks, Thomas!
  17. Nice clean build, this looks great!
  18. Beautiful work, this looks great!
  19. Revell's kits of the deuce, '55, and T-bird were all pretty good. I kind of wish they had been able to continue the line and include more of the cars
  20. Thanks!
  21. For the wheels on my A-Team van, I stripped the chrome, painted them flat black, painted the spokes flat red with a toothpick, and then clearcoated them to give them a glossy finish. The flat paints are thinner but layer better than gloss paints, and painting them wasn't nearly the headache I expected it to be.
  22. Some incredible work on this! Also, thanks for the heads up about the book!
  23. Nice clean build and it looks great in blue!
  24. Beautiful work, if you didn't have the "before" photos you'd never know how far this had come!
