It came with this kit

Thanks. I stopped posting, didn't think anyone wanted to follow. Here's some progress pics.

Nice builds! Funny I ran across this. A coworker and I were talking about Magnums. A body shop down the road from his place has a Magnum with a Hell Cat front clip. I told him I want to take a Magnum and put a 2011-2020 300 front clip and taillights on it. Wait for a newer 300 to be released as a kit. I have 7 Magnum kits up on the shelf waiting to be built!

The first time I built this kit was back in the early 80s, back in high school. It was my first custom build. I built it as a "show mud truck with mad mudder suspension. Between the military and all the moves I've made in the past 40yrs, this is waths left of it.

Picked up a few kits for $13 each, couldn't pass it up. Didn't know the direction I was going to go with it so I just laid it out on the bench. Was thinking 80s-90s mini truck. I designed some graphics, not what i was looking for. I frenched the license plate box and working on tubbing the bed. Might just glue the bed cover on and make it a curbside. This is as far as i got this weekend, will keep you up-to-date with pics. Enjoy!

the body lines and spokes are a match!

HMCN was a great show this year, fantastic builds! Right before the awards were announced, the President of KC Slammers pulled a few contestants aside and handed out little bag to each of them. Resign LSX with a note. To follow next year's theme, "What the Heck?". We have to put this LSX in a vehicle that this motor would never be installed in and make it like the manufacturer designed it to fit (look like stock). Someone said, "A beetle?" Yes, something that wouldn't have a V8. So... after searching for something, I ran across this! Tamyia 1/24 1969 Morris Mini Cooper 1275S Mk1. The LSX might be a tight squeeze. You probably read all this in "Mock-up". Didn't want to post the build in there. So here we go with progress... Excuse the mess. ADD/ADHD... A lot of squirls(kits) surrounding me!

Took it to the Heartland Model Car Nationals. in the "Small Scale" category. didn't place, however was a conversation piece. It is done! ENJOY!!

Finally found time to work on the Prius and didn't take pics of the progress. Painted it twice. The first looked like an Easter egg and I'm pretty happy with the second. Need to sand & polish, black out the trim and get the lights installed.

It's been awhile since I've been able to work on this lil jem. Too many real live projects, but I'm back on it. I watched a ytube vid, think it was DYC, DYP(??) or something like that. They threw powder pearls over a black base then clear coated it, and I knew that was it! Though I thought if it looked so good over black, why not white. It doesn't give it that "galaxy" look, as the black did. Well.... no! I'm going to mock it back up and take a good look at it for awhile. We'll see where we go from there. Enough of my bantering

I have a 3D printer(resin), and I'm looking for just the files

Bought 2 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertibles for $20. Same models, ARII & IMEX. One is missing some chrome,tires and windshield frame. The other is complete. Don't know what im going to do yet. Stock build or slam the complete. Or attempt to stretch and make a convertible limo.

I realized the typo right after I posted it. Got busy and forgot to edit it. I have 4 of these still in the wrapper. 2 coupes and 2 convertibles, one each in Testers & IMC.

Something up on the cutting board. I scratch built the A/C box. I dont know how you ol' timers built these 6+ piece bodies without a BFH!?! I have a few people upset with me, using a first release 39 Ford Coupe. Hahahaha....

The aperture is low in the shots. When I shoot for magazine entries, I set it between f-11 - f-22. Depends on my background, lighting, lens, distance from the model and if I'm using a tripod or holding the camera. There's a "few" YouTube videos on this subject.

must be getting old, already posted this build. please delete

A friend gave me a model to build for him to put in HMCN. He said to build it so people would stop and talk about it. "Anything goes, let your imagination take over!" Well.... After a long boring day at work and 6 hours of YouTube, your model is done! This was a weekend build, and the the paint was spayed cold & thick. Was still wet for pics and show (not my best work, by far). Have fun with the comments!!!!!!! LOL...

Working on my Prius. Realizing how messy the bench is, I look behind me to see if I have room and find a cluster of models from the last show. So, what's behind you? Here's my cluster: Finished & too many projects to finish

Been busy @ my 3 jobs. Finally found some time today to work on the Prius. Finished making the tubs, and backseat back(not my best work). The pan is coming along too. Here's a couple pics.

Need some advice. Trying to make tubbed wheel wells and its not going good. Using the wheel wells from the the pan and flat styrene. Put the styrene on a socket, held in place with o-rings then heated one with a lighter and heat gun with the other. Not turning out good!

Who makes this one & what scale?
