Looks great in that color, nicely done!

Nicely done!

Thanks, guys! I've had a couple of bad applications of Silver Leaf on previous models, so of course this was the smoothest it had ever went on for me. I hated doing the weathering on that finish, but I kept telling myself that I went into this project knowing it was going to have to happen.

Very cool, nicely done!

For anyone unfamiliar with the Fallout game series, the Highwayman was an amalgam of every 1950s excess in one car, then left out in the apocalypse to cook for a few decades. The bulk of this build combined the body from a SnapFast Slammers "Street Fury" and the roof from an AMT '57 Chevy Bel Air, then used the interior from at least two different Ford Galaxies. Wheels, pipes, grille, etc. were pulled from the parts box and modified. The paint is Tamiya Silver Leaf and Gunmetal, then heavily weathered using Vallejo effects paints, Tamiya weathering effects, and a light mist of Dullcote. As always, any comments/criticisms are welcome! The old game sprites weren't sharp enough to give the car a lot of details, but one that was obvious was the missing trunk lid and cargo full of survival gear. More scratch building and parts box to fill it in with everything I thought was necessary...and if I realize I forgot something, I can just say, "it's in the crate" (which was made from a wooden knife from a local food truck).

One more vote for ordering direct from Auslowe. The last time I did so was about six weeks from order to delivery.

Great job, and thanks for posting this! I think it's the first time I've seen a Fast 111's kit built.

Looks great, niely done!

Somehow missed this before, glad it got bumped. Excellent work!

Great job, how did you end up doing the tuck & roll?

Great job on this!

Funny, that was the one I was never able to find - I ended up getting two of the white ones instead.

Excellent work on this!

Nicely done, that looks great! Fujimi released four kits in their Italian Job series - this one, and the three new Minis.
