  1. I hear ya Bill. Do you have pics posted here of your 68 Chevelle and the 70 El Camino?
  2. Great start on the 67 Camaro. The shocks look Great.
  3. That's looking the part there James.
  4. Looking good James.
  5. I think I have settled in on a color. Last night I figured out that I wanted a dark color so this morning I took a look at my paint stash in the house and found what I needed. The bottle has been opened but I don't even remember what this paint was used on. This is the Tamiya XF-63 German Grey acrylic paint so it will go on flat until I hit it with the X-22 clear. Under directions from Tamiya's modeling team I have been using off the shelf lacquer thinner to thin their acrylic paints and it's been working out.
  6. Pretty good looking 66 Ford pickup plow truck. I'd hate to get it out in the snow and get it dirty. Nice job.
  7. I'm diggin it James. I've never built a Dragster before. Pretty kewl looking.
  8. Nice looking 66 Chevelle. I remember my buddy having one back in the day.
  9. Very sharp looking Olds. Nice build.
  10. Haha....I know what you mean Roger. Same here. I probably should have stuck to plastic myself.
  11. Thanks Bill. Yeah, I knew there was going to be some extra work just by looking at it.
  12. Thanks for the info man. I think I'll go for the Dawn and see how it goes.
  13. Nice looking. I have taken a pencil with a flat eraser and marked a small area on the eraser with a chrome Molotow pen and used it as a stamp.
  14. Since this is my first resin body I'm going to treat it like the resin engines that I use and wash it with Dawn dish detergent. I haven't had any issues with paint sticking to the engines. I don't know if there is much difference between resins so if anyone wants to comment on this your more than welcome.
  15. This is really starting to come together. Looks really good.
  16. This will be an upcoming project hitting the bench soon. I built the Revell 51 Henry J Gasser kit some time back and thought I'd like to do something a little different with it. This is the Jimmy Flintstone resin body that just came in. It says it's a 1:25 scale but looks a little on the small side. The Revell kit is suppose to fit this resin body but I've already seen that the hood and floor pan do not fit all that well. Looks to me like a lot of work to marry these two kits together. I have a few engines setting in the warehouse and a couple engines from the Iceman that I could use but it's just to early in the game to make any discussions just yet. If anyone has built this setup before I'd love to hear the pro's and con's.
  17. Love the early 60's Ford Falcons. Great job.
  18. NIce start on the 37 Chevy Coupe Matthew. Is that the 206 cu in 6-cylinder is see going in the business end?
  19. Yeap....pretty kewl project going on here. Love those 40 Coupes.
  20. Yes Sir. Sometimes though I can Imagine what I want and see it but just can't seem to get it done.
  21. Welcome to the forum Brian.
  22. Nice work on tweaking the hinges. Looking pretty sharp.
