That looks a little better!🙂

Got the first coat of paint on. I hope the next coat darkens it up substantially or I may have to add more black. I previously filled the hood cut-out with styrene and Tamiya thin cement and didn’t sand the outside sufficiently.😕 So I’ve stripped it, sanded it and re-primed it. Hopefully today I can get it re-painted. Thanks for lookin’.😎

I enlarged the rear window slightly and managed to make a rear window and a windsheild from clear plastic. I will eventually remake them, but at least I know I don’t need to vacu-form something.🙂 I also made a firewall and attached it and the interior to the floorpan. I can fish the whole assembly in and out of the body shell relatively easy, so now I can work on the two assemblies independently. I need to do a bit more shaping of the trans tunnel and then fill the voids with Milliput. Thanks for looking.🤓

Probably half the kits in my stash.

Evergreen. I have a fairly good stock of sizes and shapes. Yesterday I picked up four more packs just because I don’t have them. I’m sure I’ll find a use for them eventually.😬

Beautiful looking truck!😎 But then it must be easy turning out quality work with a shop like that at your disposal.😜

Nice build. The paint is super nice!😎

Cute looking little car. Well done!😎

Nice looking Barracuda.👍😎

Nice work on the opening bed floor. Heck, nice work on everything.👍😎

Office work is boring but it’s easy on the knuckles.

I thought level 3 meant that you need 3x cheaters and level 5 requires 5x cheaters.🤪

Research is always a good idea, but don’t get hung up on trying to make your first build (or every build) perfect. Just enjoy the process and try to improve a bit with each project.

WIP? I think you could slap a plate on it and call it beautifully done!😎👍

On to the next project I go without finishing the five I have started.🥴

I too have an Iwata Eclipse and I can’t say anything bad about it. It is a very nice airbrush. I have only used it a few times though because I bought a Paasche H and have since used it exclusively. I like being able to use a cup or a bottle and cleanup is a breeze.

I’ve been away for the last week Bob, but now I’m back at it. I’ve been fiddling with the tail lights trying to get them to fit nicely. The front turn signal lights don’t fit great either. I had painted the headliner black but today I sanded most of the black off and brush painted it red like the interior. I hope to get some paint on the body either tomorrow or Sunday.

Very cool project!👍 Looking forward to seeing this finished.😎

It’s looking mighty nice!👍

This is not the same kit and the hood is obviously a different molding, but it fit together ok if I recall. There is a small gap between the body and running boards. I agree that your grill is not properly placed, and the front of the hood should likely be lowered till the sides meet the fenders.

I’m seeing some pretty cool mockups! I’ll follow along.😎

Too much smoke in the air is hampering my enjoyment of the summer.

You could also cut a disc from cardboard about the size of your rings. Glue a long piece of sprue (or any round rod) to the center with CA, and then use double face tape or a tape loop to attach the rings. Then you can spin it as you spray. A bottle cap might work instead of the cardboard disc?

Beautiful looking rig! Super clean build, and I love that colour on it.👍😎
