I received 2 from Mega Hobby a couple of days ago.

Well done. I have one of these in the stash. I'm just waiting for my son to get older so that we can build it together.

I'm liking everything. I love Group 5 cars. They are just so aggressive looking.

I like that stance.

Great thread. A couple worth mentioning:
Hell or High Water - great story, lots of action. Kind of a modern western set in TX. Jeff Bridges should have got an oscar.
No Country For Old Men - kinda the same genre. Javier Bardem's character is one crazy dude and mean.
I'm a big fan of Hell or High Water. It was written by Taylor Sheridan. He has also written both Sicario movies, Wind River (which he also directed, and I highly recommend), and is the creator/ writer/ director of the Yellowstone series on Paramount network. I will watch anything that has his name attached, much like with the Coen brothers, who are responsible for the other movie recommended above.

There seems to be no way to keep folks from voting multiple times tho.
I didn't actually vote a second time but it let me back in.
I can confirm that it appears to allow a person to vote multiple times.

Well that's interesting to know about the Alclad black chrome. Wish you have had tried it to see how it looks.
Give this a look, Mike. It starts just before he compares the chrome to the black chrome.

Light mist Alclad chrome over black until you get the look you want, then seal it with a water-based clear.
To me, Alclad chrome has always looked like black chrome. That being said, Alclad has black chrome in their catalog of paints. I have some but have not tried it yet.

I don't have any input on the airbrush, but I give 2 thumbs up for Spraygunner. Always received excellent service from them.

You have to be fairly specific in your search but there is a ton of great stuff on cults for model cars. Try BlackBox and MCSDESIGN, from there it can lead you down the rabbit hole
Yep, I've bought stuff from both of those guys. I've tried to be specific with my searches but I still get a lot of stuff that's not even close. Now I just click on all the various tags that are associated with the item I'm looking at.

no not yet but i am learning and i hope i can create my own ..... for the moment custumizing files from cults3d and printing
I've downloaded a few files from cults3d, but I'm not having much luck finding anything model car related at the various sites I've visited.
-
Looking good so far. Are you modeling your own 3d printed parts?
-
Nice job, Mike. Turned out great.
-
I like it. It has a Hot Wheels vibe.
-
Looking good so far. I like the color.

That's an eye catching cover.

Maybe you could use it as a rollover build, as a freshly crashed car up on a rollback. Add some weathering like it was turned over down a bank. Or you could build it as a rusted junkyard find.

Those are 2 interesting ideas.
I have a new body on the way. The thought of using the stock body just doesn't appeal to me, at least not for this build.

It might be UPS Mail Innovations. UPS picks up the package, transports it, and hands it off to USPS for final delivery. Seems to take forever and the packages seem to sit a lot.
Yep, that's been my experience when I see UPS Mail Innovations in the tracking info.

Is that a Jimmy Flintstone body?? That is unfortunate... Resin bodies are prone to warping if they aren't stored properly. I've seen some that were disfigured to the point you can't even identify what kind of car it was. I wrap rubber bands around mine and store them in a cool place.
Just recently I bought two Chevy 4 door bodies. One of those was sitting on my desk as I was cleaning up the flashing. I noticed after a few days the driver side was starting to bow out. I put some rubber bands around it. The more I look at it, the top looks wavy and I don't know if it's worth using.

Yes, it's a Flintstone body. I thought I had put the body in a hard plastic container to keep it safe. I thought wrong.

I would like to mention that somewhere within these 22 pages I switched my entry from the 34 Slammer Modified to the Revell Ford Thunderbolt with a Jimmy Flintstone 64 Fairlane 2 door wagon body.
That being said, I pulled the body out a couple of days ago and found it to look like someone had been storing a 20 pound dumbbell on top of it. I tried to straighten it, but it only looks slightly better. It had already been trimmed and primed and was just waiting for paint. Maybe I can try my first ever chopped top, but I'm really not sold on that idea. So I will probably be using the stock body and just saving the work that I have done for a different project.
I figured that I would add a picture of my slightly twisted body. This is after I tried to straighten it. It's actually worse now.

Really nice. One of my favorite paint schemes.

I'm seriously starting to believe that some of you guys are posting pictures of actual full size cars.
This looks amazing.

Well, it looks like I will not have my entry done. The new Fairlane wagon body I bought to replace the one that I ruined needs about 10 times more cleanup than the first body. I suspect that the mold is at the end of it's life as there is excess everything everywhere. It will be finished eventually, just not in time.
