  1. Thanks man. Besides this and the 500SL, I have 12 more Mercedes in the queue. Lol.
  2. I struggle with color on my street car builds. I feel like I gravitate towards black and red. I need to change it up but those are my favorite real life colors.
  3. I’ve always preferred Ferrari to Lamborghini as they seem more refined, less boorish than the Lamborghini. Lamborghini’s always seem like they are the kid shouting for attention. That being said, the Miura is in a class of its own; hands down the best Lamborghini ever.
  4. That’s a heck of a paint job! I’d hate to do that one too. Hopefully you can resurrect it. Good luck!
  5. That’s the one!
  6. I’m going with a Tamiya blue...I thought about sourcing the right blue from Hiroboy but another builder here used the Tamiya color and it looks great to me.
  7. Black Falcon Bilstien...
  8. Thanks Dann. I snagged some aftermarket race decals...excited for this one.
  9. Good point. Maybe silver with black. Thanks for the reality check.
  10. You could always do a Mercedes “Motorwagen”. ?
  11. Thanks man. I'm leaning toward a beige with the two tone (darker lowers) and a brown interior... something I'd never buy in real life.
  12. Yes sir! My "birth year" car.
  13. The box is stamped Fujimi MRC. I’m not even sure what color to paint it. I haven’t even started and I’m kind of “over it”. Lol. Not a good attitude.
  14. Starting this as well today. @Snake45 gave me some good advice on the crushed a-pillar. Since it turned out acceptable, we’ll get to building. I’ve never seen so much extra plastic
  15. Starting a few today. The bath is the first step.

  17. Coming down the home stretch. Just need to finish painting the gold trim
  18. Good lord!
  19. I like the Testors/Italier kits. I built so many as a kid and still have most of them. I'd like to redo them now that I have more patience but it's hard to justify the redundancy. Great work as usual Dann.
  20. Any updates here Dann? I've not been on the forum much lately...anxious to see some color on this bad boy!
  21. Looking good man. I hear you on the slow progress. I feel like I've been mired on the same build for too long. I thought I'd quickly knock out a customized die-cast Bugatti. It's still languishing on the workbench. Meanwhile I want to start other kits.
  22. Welcome to the forum. Your story sounds similar to mine. There's a lot of good information on this site, although it can be tricky to search.
  23. Got a new airbrush last weekend and finally got it fired up. Reshot the tan inertial bits of the Bugatti, changed the wheels color to brassy gold and applied the first color to the front of the car.
  24. Thanks guys! I’m all about the Mercedes stuff. Dann, that SLR kit looks awesome. The wagon kit is an Aoshima...at $98 plus shipping, it’s now the most expensive kit I’ve ever bought.
