This got me thinking way to much this morning.... I started thinking about those compasses that hold the pencil and what would it take to design something that would fit over the tip of my airbrush that would hold a pen. The whole thing is kind of a solution looking for a problem but what the heck.

interesting...Just looking around online I see that there are various types at various prices. Some made to work with multiple types of markers. Some with different tips for finer line work.... Could be fun to experiment with. See what kind of inks hold up with clear coats and such.

Was going through my old photos and ran across this that I put together at some point. Figured I'd share it.

Very cool! Some day I hope to attempt a Hornet Sportabout conversion.

The clearance models were still on the regular shelves at mine. The only way you would notice is that there was a clearance price sticker on them. Otherwise they were just on the shelves like regular.

have you checked Fireball Modelworks? I don't know if they have what you are looking for but tends to be my source for hard to find wheels and covers.

Always see the coolest stuff on my way home from work.

I was more of a, shoot the army men with a BB gun, kid. The only model kit that got the firecracker treatment was an F14 that I rigged up to slide on a string so I could try and film it with a really old video camera. After realizing the one take didn't work it was too late.

Olive Branch MS has them. You wouldn't know unless you look at the price tags. They are all still in the regular aisle. Some just had to clearance prices. They were pretty much gone except for the Bronco and the Nova. I grabbed the last Camaro and Malibu.

That right there seems to be the most logical next step.

No affiliation.

Fonzie jumped over the shark on water skis. He jumped over a bunch of garbage cans on his motorcycle...although I think that was a triumph. Still want to see the diorama though...😁

On the way home from work yesterday.

That awesome. I love the attachment points. Thanks for posting this.

Don't know of a kit that actually has the door panels. Although I haven't looked for one either. Might be able to scratch build some. The seem to be generally minimalistic.

Wow, those bring me back. Remember watching the races every year on Lake Washington. Gonna have to run down some piston boat kits, if i can find any.

Pretty sure you have your answer, just wanted to say that I am really liking the red exhaust. Gonna have to start painting my exhaust red. 😁

On the don't paint it right away topic, I agree with everything said, but.... I will sometimes put a light coat of primer on just so that when I test fit I can see where the friction points are and know where I need to shave off a little here or there.

Got my color on. Went with Pearl white. Still needs clear but it's progress.

Great job! I used to build a lot of 1/35 but it started taking up too much space so when I do armor now it's 1/72. Definitely a challenge

Looking awesome!!

Cool! How did you do it?

OOOOOhhhhhh, I'm gonna have to get that!! Have had that kit sitting in the stash for a while.

Couldn't agree more..although I tend to go overboard sometimes.

Too cold to paint still so I guess it's time to accessorize the interior a little.
