Very nice work thus far Mike...Like you, I love these old monster kits as well as the original Wierd-Oh's...looking forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for sharing.

Bob, thanks for the description of how you mastered that terrific paint job. I love this kind of painting and you have given me some valuable insights for sure. Much appreciated.

Nice build Scott...the foiling is terrific and quite impressive given the small scale. The photo presentation is also super well done. I am curious, what large scale models are you working on presently? I too have started migrating to the larger scales.

Very very nice work on this Bob...what type of paint and primer did you use on this? Also any special techniques you employed that you might be able to share..stunning paintwork I have to say.

His Hot Wheels man cave was very cool as well...loved to orange track he had built into the cave.

Great job on this Spence. These old kits are really difficult to make given the poor fit of many of the pieces...I say you nailed it!

Wow Bob...this looks spectacular. Super well done!!

Bruce, that steering wheel is awesome! I am looking forward to watching this build for sure!

Beautiful build Manfred...quite stunning actually. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Cases for collectibles...great website...thanks for sharing...I am going to order a case from them.

I agree with all of the comments...that model looks perfect!!

Gorgeous build! Really love what you did with this model.

Hello Mike. I am not able to comment on best paint for the flesh tones but I do have a comment regarding painting with the acrylic paints. I too was a bit frustrated with my acrylic brush painting skills. So I acquired a couple of the Weird-Oh's models just for the express purpose of working on my acrylic brush painting techniques on a larger surface than those afforded by an engine block, or a seat for a 1/24 scale car. I used both Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics. I found that I did not need.to thin these paints at all. When brushing I used a moderate brush load and painted the model trying not to be sloppy when I brought a fresh loaded brush onto the model where I had previously run out of paint. I found that it took three to four coats of paint to get a nice smooth and clean look. The first coat will look rather terrible with all the brush marks. But you will see after the second and third coat that the brush marks begin to disappear as the paint smooths out and fills in. All in all I was happy with my results and now I feel a lot less intimidated by brush painting acrylics. The nice thing about the acrylics is that they dry very fast so you can do a second and third coat within a few hours of each other, although I let each coat dry overnight and got really good results. After my final coat I sprayed it with Tamiya flat clear or regular clear depending on the look I was going for. The other advantage with the acrylics, especially for the Weird-Oh's, is the wide variety of colors available. I have never tried the craft paints, but I do have a Weird-Oh's surfer series I may experiment on using craft paints for the water and waves.

Wow, that is a wonderful build. I agree with the comment above, it looks like the real deal to my eyes. Thanks for posting this work of art.

David...I can see it...

Terrific build. I really like these little cars and you did a wonderful job on this one. Thanks for posting it.

I bought a Metal Earth TRex about two months ago at a local antique store for 10 bollars thinking it might be a fun quick build. I opened the instructions, and to me the instructions were just not intuitively clear on how to bend, twist, attach, etc. all the tiny pieces one has to contend with. I gave up and put in in my drawer...failure on my part. Joe, you did a great job on this plane. Well done indeed.

Agree with the above comments...it is gorgeous. Great build indeed.

Exceptional work Michael. The painting and highlighting Los flawless. What a great idea for the rope tie as well. Really love what you did here. Thanks for sharing it.

I agree...can't wait to see what Dann does with these iconic TV vehicles...

Very nice job on this one John. Love what you did with some over the detail touches. Did you do the Munster Koach as well?

Great looking model. Really nicely done. When I turned 16 my dad bought me a brand new 72 pinto. I put similar 5 slot mags and similar large rear tires on it...also had it turbocharged..fun little four speed four banger for sure. Thanks for sharing the model. It brought back fond memories for sure.

Wow is right. Very cool build Steve...perfectly executed I must say...

I agree Snake...those do look good.

Super well done. The painting and shading are excellent. Please post the next one you complete. Thanks for sharing this.
