Thanks for the info, you did better than I. And thanks for looking.

Great Job Brett, can't wait to see it in person.

As per usual Dann, excellent work.

Beautiful job, it really shines.

Very, Very ,cool. Great job and thanks for the step by step pictorial.

Rex...I just scored a Mini Exotics Super Coupe. Your build looks very interesting but I see you also have the Super Coupe in your collection. I plan on using a Monogram 427 Cobra as a donor. Is there anything else you can tell me about your build. Nice stash BTW.

Thanks to all for your kind comments and compliments.

Nice job Bruce, looks good in blue. I like some of the details you added.

Thank you Gary. I just like getting em done. Gotta a lot to do as you well know. And with this forced time off its all I have been doing.

Makiing good use of some time off. This is Revell's 1/24 Sunoco Camaro that Ron Fellows drove in the 1996 Trans Am season. This kit was on and off my workbench several times mostly waiting for paint to cure. The flourescent yellow is Testors 1177 Neon Yellow airbrushed over white. The blue is Mr Color #322 (70%), Mr Color #328 (30%). This was done to match a diexcast in my collection which turned out to be a kind of mistake. You will see why. I chose to paint most of the yellow even though it was represented as decals. The large area on the roof was sure to wrinkle and the nose had to be painted anyway. I used a latex clear over the flourescent because it changes the color very little but takes 2 months to cure. The rest of the details are captioned under the pictures. Thanks for looking. The chassis was very detailed for a domestic kit. I added a few touches here and there but mostly it is detail painting. Getting all the pieces to sit right in the interior proved to be a challenge. Not my first time doing this chassis but it was still fussy. Body is three pieces and required several (10) small locator pins for it to sit right on the chassis. You can see three of them at the very bottom of the body. I always like this rear three quarter view. Note the chrome exhaust tips. This was cut from a radio antenna. A good source for chrome tubing of different sizes. I went way out of my way to obtain this GMP 1/18 diecast of the same car. Only to discover they got the yellow all wrong. I am seriously considering masking and spraying it.

Scott...that is a very cool kit. I remember doing mine many years ago when it was first issued. You did a great job on the details like the engine and the seats. Give yerself a pat on the back.

So this is where you are.....we kinda missed you..welcome back.

Absolutley beautiful work, the attention to detail is noticeable throughout. There has to be a couple hundred hours of work there.

Very nice job...that's one of the tougher Tamiya kits...you got it right.

Paul, if you only knew. 56yrs later and 250+ Porsche models and diecast completed. Its been a great ride, enjoy yours too.

You did a great job on this, mine is on the way and now I can't wait

Looks good,worth all the effort.

Thank you JC...that was very informative. We see these trademarks all the time but never know their origin.

Tim....there is nothing quick about a Protar build. The Cartograf decals are top notch...but the rest of the kit...not so much. Keep plugging away at it. Its a cool car and i had to have one in my Martini collection.

Gary, As always, thanks for the kind words. Maybe next up is a resin Jag, just got some cool wheels and tires for it from Miniatures and Replicas of MD.

Thanks JC, just gotta luv them lil bunnies..

Nifty little car, not bad for a quik build.

Making good use of some enforced time off. These are two of Aoshima Beemax's Porsche 935 K2 as raced by the Kremer group. Kit had decals for both versions so why not do em both. Bought an extra kit and the photo etch set to go with them. Doing two at once is extra work but in the long run saves time especially when it comes to painting. White car is painted with Tamiya TS-26 white. Green car is a custom mix of Gunze Sangyo H-46 Emerald Green with some "other stuff" added to make it match the decals. Turns out the decals were not going to be on the same car but on the bright side the two of them match. These kits went together very well and I can't say enough for Aoshima's quality. Further description below the photos. Thanks for looking. Chassis has a surprising amount of detail considering these are mostly curbside. PE discs are nice but this is the only time you will see them. Seatbelts came with the PE set and the material was nice but it took some super sticky glue to keep them together. At least they gave me extra and now I can make some more . Interior was rather sparse but what was there was good. All finished and decalled. This job took most of two days. Decals were very good and responded to solvent and heat well. Those fender vents are usually a terror to decal over but the decals made it easy peazy. Either that or I am getting used to it. Rear end view. There were extra PE aero tabs in the kit but I could not find any reference where they used them . So the only ones i found were the ones over the rear fenders. Engine plate is also PE. I left the wheel covers off on Bob Wollecks car because sometimes they used them and sometimes not. The kit windshield wipers were OK but I liked the PE ones better. These required some special bending, painting and gluing techniques. And 10 times the work. Heres the reason for doing both versions. Its kind of a theme here. Some previous builds in a shot of the whole tribe. Back two are 1/20 Tamiya. #2 white car is a Testors/Gunze 934 variant, #4 car is a modified diecast and not so good one at that, smaller 1/43 one is more of the same. 70 & 51 are the current build, and front center is Tamiya's 1/24 934.

Cool color...keep up the good work, you are doing great.

Scott...saw this as a work in progress. It really turned out brilliant. Very nice job. Your paint combo just jumps...good choice. Wheel color was a nice choice too. I'd put this one in my collection any day of the week.
