  1. Don't know if this has been brought up for the motor in the Foose pickups so I thought I would share how I do the valve covers, I first use the ScalePro Shop Dead Center to get a hole aligned for drilling a hole completely through the valve cover. After painting the valve cover I set the small pin through the hole and cut off what is not needed and add a drop of super glue on the inside of the valve cover to keep the pin in place,add the decals to the valve cover then glue them on the heads. I like how the chrome on the head of the pin gives a better appearance than the kit look.
  2. Thank you Germain,Trevor and Mario for the welcome mat.....very much appreciated

  10. mad a change yesterday(Easter Sunday) to the area I sit and work at. Also cut down the stash by selling off 9 Moebius kits,lost interest in building them. So now I reserved the 2 5" foot tables joined together for building and foiling/decals and the 6" table for detail painting. Pegboard for holding glues and sandpaper and pegboard for holding aftermarket parts, set up the parts bins in one location
  11. you're too hard on yourself,looks great to me. Love that color combo
  12. really like that display cabinet David,you're correct about the other display cases. I have those same Pioneer Plastic display cases and the one from Carney, just have to dust the top of the display cases and occasionally wipe off finger prints around the outside perimeter of the cases. Thank you for showing that
  13. Thank you Greg,glad you like them
  14. walls and floor are paper products along with the roll up doors and side door are from a seller on ebay, tools,machinery were from the Great Garages 1/24th kit,lift from the AMT kit and parts box. The loft was scratched built from basswood,Plastistuct and figures are from various products. Pay no attention to the sky background as my first intention was to do an outside theme and changed my mind about that but it was too late to try and remove the paper from the foam board. All in all I think I had it done in 3 months and am quite happy with how it came out. This is my 3rd shop that I have built selling the other 2 to club members. The link to the in progress pics is below. Thanks for looking and Happy Modeling https://public.fotki.com/62704/model-car-related-albums/hot-rod-garage/
  15. that is a really cool project there Mark. My feeling is a diorama is never done as you will always find something to add or make it larger. The bathroom does resemble a few I have encountered in the past and couldn't wash my hands enough....lol
