Thanks guys! I hope to post a nice update tomorrow, since I clearcoated all the parts that needed to be. I basically have the frame altogether, except for where I had to wait on the bodyparts. @Old Albion, correct, actually this engine consist of 2 3cilinder 2-stroke engines, welded together to get a straight six

Frame stretching?
The Creative Explorer replied to skulls's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Never done it before, but thought of doing it for a future project. They way I would go is to cut the frame in halve and make a new section of styrene. Sand it smooth and it should be ok. -
MicroMarks photo etch kit
The Creative Explorer replied to moparmagiclives's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
well, I finally made the decision and ordered the set. Now I have to wait a couple of weeks for it to come. -
Thanks Dan! After a long busy period, I managed to get some more work done on the Krupp. I actually want to finish it within the next 2 weeks. So I can finish up some other work. I started yesterday morning with the frame, it is now red semigloss and is ready to receive more parts. This is the finished rear-axle. Front axle And the start on the engine, which is nicely detailed, but that will be visible later on in this update Some more parts added to the frame

Weird car, the front is an Enzo, the back is a FXX Never mind, I just saw EDO on the body, explains it. -
Lamborghini SUV

I'd rather saw this coming to production: So much closer to their 'normal' cars. -
Bare metal finish?
The Creative Explorer replied to Jantrix's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You might be able to do it with Alclad? -
I don't have any plans for a huge quantity, but getting this was actually cheaper than getting a retailset of 2 pounds. So, easy choice.

Up to the more serious stuff, I bought 25 pounds of resin, so I can start pouring my own parts. I have felt to do this for a long time now, I keep searching for parts that do not exist and I'd like to make copy's of my scratchprojects. Especially with the way I am heading, I want to get more into this stuff. To make the molds, I got also 12,5 pounds of silicons together with some plast, appearantly I need it hahaha. And as a nice bonus, my RoG 1/12 Mustang came in to, it needs to be reviewed for the Dutch IPMS

My new goodies I go this week: A truck accesories set, hopefully can be to use when I start my wrecker-project. A free Copperhead snap-kit, I have great plans with this nice looking concept The Hasegawa XJ-S TWR, not the best looking Jag, but it's ages very well and starts looking better and better. Just because I like Jaguars and it came with a very desirable kit for me. This one: The Gunze Sangyo High-Tech E-type (airfix rebox) and what a kit this is! I've been looking for one for a very long time and found this one for less than 30 bucks. It barely has plastic parts, it comes with so much white-metal and photo-etch that it scares me to build. A nice addition to my old car builds, don't you love those nice shapes from the overdone '30s and '40s?

April issue came today..
The Creative Explorer replied to Rob Hall's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Gregg did made a list not that long ago with a handful of foreign vendors, maybe Harry knows where that list can be found. @Harry, that explains, I thought the contest issue was a extra issue that wasn't part of the normal issue's. -

That's not it, I even don't have a subscription, (due to overseas costs and being unemployed) but I do follow the issue's. Just because it interests me.
