Porsche 911 turbo Cabriolet (Fujimi Enthusiast Model)
Zippi replied to Tommy124's topic in Model Cars
I really like the black acsents on that good looking blue. Nice build. -
Sounds like the build was a real chore. Turned out pretty nice. Good looking cop car.
-
Great looking Vette. That green sure does sparkle.
-
Dang nice looking kurtis. All the detailing looks fantastic.
-
Looks really nice. Love the color combo.
-
Hey Mike......man did your 55 turn out fantastic looking. Love those meats on the rear. Great job my friend.

Thanks Jason. It was a fun build. If I build another one there are some things I would do different. -
Not much going on today. Got the headers cleaned up and the collectors glued on. I got the distributor painted and a few more parts glued on the engine. The chrome has more flash than I thought so after cleaning it all up I'm gong over the raw area's with my Molotow chrome Pen. Also got all 8 holes drilled in the valve covers to except the plug wires.

What a fine looking double nickel. That is about as good as a 210 gets. Just bodacious man.
-
That black is stunning and a nice stance. Love those meats on the back. That is a lot of muscle on the business end. Very well done.
-
Oh yeah....a fat fender car. Love the detail work on the interior and the engine bay. Snappy looking ride. Nicely done Bob.
-
Really well done Michelle. Those parts box wheels and tires go well with the Vette.

Rich is right. What works for me may not work for you. I guess I got lucky that they worked out for me. I like that I can take my prescription glass off and then I'm able to hold the part further away when doing detail work.
-
Well....when I hold a part in my hands it magnify's both my hands as well as the part. Hope that answers your question.

Ok fellows. As promised here are my findings on the Carson LumiVisor magnifying headset that I just picked up at Hobby Lobby. HL had a lot of discounts going on today but not on these. But, still cheaper ($21.99) than what I found online with FREE shipping. First off I have all 4' LED lights on the ceiling of my garage but still have problems with detail work. The headset is fairly light weight and has a very easy and quick strap adjustment in the back. No need to take it off to adjust it. I'm not sure what the lenses are made of but they are very clear. The main lenses is the 2X and that is the same as my desktop magnifying glass so that's what works for me as I can keep a part about 6"-8" away without wearing my prescription glasses. The other lens are 3X, 5X, and 6X. There is an inner lens that can swing down and lock into place if needed and if not it's spring loaded to stay up out of the way. Using any of the other lenses you have to bring your part closer but it's crystal clear. It take 3 AAA battery's for the adjustable LED light which are not included. I really like the LED light to shine on the part I'm working on. I will probably continue using my desktop magnifying glass and use the headset for the detail work. I would give the Carson LumiVisor headset a 9 out of 10. Nothing is a 10 in my eyes so that's as good as it get. If anyone has any questions I'll answer the best I can.

Now that is right up my alley Brian and bad ass looking. I like the single wheel wheelie bar. I have another Foose pickup kit laying around that I've stolen parts from so now you got me thinking.
-
Will do Carl. I'll post a simi review here once I get them and check them out.
-
I like the old school colors. Coming along great.
-
Thanks for the info Rich. I think I've decided to head over to HL when they open and pick up the Carson headset.

-
Thanks Carl. I like the looks of the Silver Leaf myself. Think I"ll leave the valve covers and the bug catcher chrome.

I have a big magnifying glass clamped to a stand on my work bench that I use but a lot of times I can't get a part under the glass or at the right angle. My reading glasses don't cut the mustard either. So.....I'm checking into the magnifying glasses that strap to your head with a light. I tried to search the forum As I'm sure this has been covered but didn't come up with much. Anyone using a pair of the ones that strap to your head or have something better they are using ?

I love getting new toys.

Super clean looking build. Great detail work.
