Ditto!?

Excellent work so far Luke. That’s the kind of slicing and dicing I can appreciate!?

Picked this up at a local flea market today. I would have scored a couple more kits, but I forgot my dang wallet at home.?

Nice clean build. It looks very realistic. ?

Nice truck. I agree, that is a beautiful paint job!?

Nice job! It is REALLY weathered all right…but I wouldn’t say over-weathered.? Nice touch with all the cr*p in the bed.?

Sweet looking ride!?

The Tamiya cans spray the nicest of any aerosols I have tried. They work really great on a body or even interior parts. I find that they can’t compare to a good airbrush when it comes to painting something with a lot of nooks and crannies like a partially assembled engine or some dashboards. And colour options are limitless with the AB.?

Yes. I don’t know why I posted that pic. I did make my own for the TJeepster from soft aluminum wire. Copper or aluminum would work nice and still hold it’s shape. I wrap thin wire around styrene rod to make shock boots also.

I just painted the valleys and cleaned up a bit with a Q-tip if needed. I have also used real springs.

Nice job, and good eye for deciding what goes together nicely!?

Nicely done!?

Nice job on this one! I agree it is a wonderful little kit.?

WOW! Absolutely outstanding talent…and talk about patience!

I use this stuff for plug wires. I have some HDMI and old USB cables that I use for battery cables. That is about as far into wiring as I want to get.

I made some styrene sheaths for our knives in the RV and a fridge door holder. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/162846-other-styrene-projects/?tab=comments#comment-2431485

I thought I got these from Olsen Bros. but I don’t see them on their website. Dang, my memory is getting bad!? Maybe someone will know who has them?

You can send that to me if you want. That was my very first car when I was 16. It had a straight 6 and auto. I paid $400 bucks for it.?

Stalled projects.? I bought a few models today at a flea market. So I plugged this site and the model into google to get some ideas brewing. I found some absolutely fantastic custom and kit bashing builds going on. I just get interested and excited with it to find the thread just stops, three, five, ten or more years ago.? I don’t know if I should dredge up a ten year old thread to see if anything ever became of it? I have a few kits myself that I’ve started and put aside, and if I had kept up with this hobby since I was a kid I would very likely have a stack of them.

There’s a bunch of threads on it. Type this into google: site:modelcarsmag.com tuck and roll

Picked these up at a local flea market today. The seller said they were all complete kits. The ‘37 Ford pickup has been partially built and there are no instructions so I will have to see if I can find them online to be sure.

I am really liking that trailer!?

Great movie! I have it on DVD. Good luck with the project!

Sweet, that turned out real nice!?
