  1. Awesome job, those colors work perfectly. I dig it.?
  2. You did that Vette justice. A head turner for sure.
  3. Great build, the green/tan combo works really well .
  4. Really beautiful. Like you the 67-68 fastback are my favorite Mustangs. A real classic look with this color combo. Great work.
  5. Welcome to the forum Nathan. Always nice to have younger chaps join in the hobby. Lots of of great builds you posted, keep 'em coming.
  6. A lot of eye candy in this build and a lot of work too. All those small details really make a difference. Great photography.
  7. Great job on the Chevy. Looks nice in this color.
  8. Welcome aboard Zack. Nice build!

    BMW Z8

    Awesome job on this cute little car. Great choice for the colors.
  10. Really nice . Love the white/gold combo.
  11. Welcome to the forum Brian. Glad to see you back at it.
  12. Welcome Jay. Looking forward to see some of your builds.
  13. Welcome Greg.
  14. Great take on this little kit. I have built a few of these and enjoyed it very much. Looks really nice in that color.
  15. Very nice job . I like these old sedans.
  16. Great looking Vette. I miss these old Monogram boxes.
  17. Good old Merc looks pretty cool in that yellow. Beautiful work.
  18. Thank Eric. Just order one on a local website.
  19. I use micro leds , you can have them cheap on Amazon and they are pre wired with resistor. I had no problem fitting them in my VW.
  20. Very nice indeed. I agree, this a very nice kit. I wonder if anyone has tried to fit the AMT duster chassis to this kit. It sure would add more details. I might try that someday if I build another one.
  21. Great efforts yield great results. Even without any warpage, this a difficult kit. The wrap around body sure doesn't help. You did an excellent job, it sure looks gorgeous. As for the warped body, out of the last 5 kits I bought , 3 had minor to major warpage. Looks like they don't want to wait for the plastic to cool off before packaging it. Ah well !
  22. Thanks Eric. Thanks David, you're welcome. Thanks Bob, I hear you. Moebius kits are nice to build though. Thanks James Thanks Tony. Thanks Greg. aside for the side trim,(BMF) windows (Molotow), everything else is stock from the kit. Thanks Len. You are a keen observer. Back when I built this background, I realized that there were a contradiction in the signs, I was about to remove it but I decided to leave it there to see if somebody would pick it up. Congrats, you're the first one ?. I also left another( Easter egg ) in another background. It's a bottle of jack Daniels. Thanks Ken. I will have a new background soon. I just need the time to take some photos. Thanks James Thanks Chris Thank you Jeff. Thanks David. The first photo was taken under a fluorescent light and was a little over exposed. The rest was done under natural light. Thanks Bob, Thank you Mike.
  23. Nice job Bob. Great color choice and that engine is simply eye candy. I always liked the 36, there is something about the grille and headlights that pleases my eyes. Like you I like the cars of that era.
  24. This is a beautiful kit. There were so many around back then in my neighborhood, I remember being 6 years old, sitting in my father's lap, holding the wheel and marveling at the tractor following the road, turning the curb even before I turned the wheel. Of course my father was driving with his feet pushing the tie rods to steer it in the right direction. Eventually I found out. So may good memories from that time. Never saw one so clean though. Nice to see how they looked new. Excellent painting of the details. I like it
  25. I use mod podge almost all the time. It dries clear and has a rubbery texture so If you're careful it can be removed without damaging the plastic parts. Useful when you want to rebuild a model. Make sure you chose the gloss type, they have also the matt and satin finish. I've also use different brands which are pretty good. Mod podge is cheap and does a good job. In the end stick with what works for you.
