Excellent job on this, I think it's the first Belkits model I've seen finished!

Very nice, it's great to see one of these built!

Thanks guys! No one major problem, but a few smaller ones. Like there was a swirl line in the roof above the back window, another faint one on the trunk, and where I reshaped the leading edge of the hood was a slightly different color than the rest of it (Round2 copied their old incorrect Daytona hood with the square leading edge).

Nicely done, looking forward to seeing #003

Thanks, guys!

Nice clean work on this, great job! What did you use for the heater hose markings?

Sure thing, it's House of Kolor's Oriental Blue (KBC04) over silver. This time came out better than my previous attempt, though I'd like to take another whack at it some day.

Beautiful work on this!

Beautiful job, that looks fantastic!

Thanks, guys! I don't think I've ever seen that release in the wild, hopefully they caught it before it hit stores! Nice looking General! I used the Eckler Corvette wheels on my first General Lee, and Fireball Modelworks' vectors for my later one. His are the best, hands down. Yeah, I should have written that better. I actually like the wheels as far as them being quality castings, and they'll definitely find a home on a future build. The box just seemed to be aiming for more of a "pro touring" look, and the kit parts had more of a classic muscle/rod vibe.

I really dig the box art on this one, and wanted to follow that as much as possible (anyone know if this is a Don Greer piece? I haven't been able to find info anywhere). The original plan was to simply polish and assemble, adding only basic trim. Then the more I looked at it the more I didn't like the kit wheels, or the molded color, or...well, you all know the drill.

Thanks, guys!

Thanks!

I like it, those wheels suit the car nicely

Very clean work here, that's a great looking truck

I always liked this color scheme, and it looks great on a Mustang. Nicely done!

Thanks, guys!

Nice looking group

Awesome job, that color combination looks killer on the GT!

Nicely done!

In the early 2000s, Fujimi released several kits as licensed tie-ins with special resin figures of characters from the series. Among those was the manga Over Rev!, and this repop of their MR2 kit. I opened the engine cover and added some basic wiring, front brakes, and license plates...otherwise it's pretty much a straight out of the box build. The included Shino Ryoko figure is still waiting to be painted.

Awesome job, that looks great!

Very clean work, that turned out great!

This year I've been working on models of stuff from books, comics, and other static art pieces. One day working at the bench, the mind went wandering in search of more project ideas and came back with one of my favorite series from when I was a kid: The Mouse and the Motorcycle. I figured a 1/18 motorcycle would be about the right size, then I scaled that down so it would fit with my other 1/24 scale models. That makes it about 1/430 scale, a little under a quarter inch long. There was nothing even close to what I wanted out there, so I scratch built this from bits of plastic and wire:

That's a great looking collection, nice job!
