Polar lights prepainted diecast Batmobile kit. Made a few changes, added screening to the grille area, "Bat" decals on doors and hand painted pinstriping with Testors Chevy engine red. Interior detailing is also hand painted.

Monogram's excellent kit built Box Stock as a Replica of my friends car. Finished as a Factory fresh car with correct chassis overspray patterns and assembly line paint codes and inspection marks. Had to correct a few things that Monogram got wrong but no big deal. Finished in Presidential Blue (one of only three colors available) with correct hue black on hood and cowl and hand painted white walls.

Found this at a Garage sale fer cheap. AMT Shuttle Craft kit from the 70's I think. Built one of these when I wuz a kid and loved it. Simple kit, not an exact replica but a fun build. Made a few changes/additions to Jazz it up a bit. Decals kinda sucked, they did not want to stick despite lotsa Solvaset, is what it is.

Recent reissue of AMT's double kit, built outta the box except fer the license plates.

Thank you fer yer comment. Yup, outta the box except fer the slicks and decals (Slixx).

I like it, you nailed the body work. Don't see sumthin like this very often, a drop top 70's Mustang...nice work

These models did not include clear parts.

Revell kit with much chassis mods to get a more correct stance. Kit decals over simulated silver metal flake "gelcoat" finish with 2K clear. All metal finishes are Alclad.

Thank you fer yer comment, Slixx Decals.

Nice collection of Dyno's Bowtie S/S cars

Just finished this one. Built from an early Johan kit, started it about 10 years ago, painted it and put it away fer some reason. All metal finishes are Alclad, replaced the slicks with resin pieces.

Amt double kit of recent issue, pretty much outta the box. Chrome wuz kinda rough, lotsa parting lines and flash, most of the chrome parts were stripped, cleaned up and refinished with Alclad.

I like it.

Nicely done.

The "screws" on the rear wheels are "dots" of silver paint. To create the "screws" I use what I believe to be called a stylus, it is a sculpting tool used in working clay. They are available in various sizes at most craft stores. I dip the tool in sum paint and simply "dot" to create perfectly round screws or rivets. Takes sum practice to get the right touch but it's better than using a brush.

Thank you fer yer comment. Yes, they are 2 piece injection molded plastic tires front and rear. Nuthin fancy here, just fit the tire halves together as cleanly as possible using liquid cement, using the softened plastic of the joint as a filler by squeezing the parts together. Once the glue dries I work the seams with various files and folded sandpaper. Then I apply Duplicolor high build primer over the the seams and work the primer sanding and re-priming as necessary until the tire is ready fer paint. Depending on the kind of tire I mix various blacks, Grey's and charcoal colors to get a realistic finish. I much prefer hard resin or plastic tires to the vinyl tires that we've had in kits fer decades. To me, a correct finish on the tires is just as important as a correct finish on the body or engine.

Lindberg Dodge kit built outta the box with aftermarket decals. As delivered the Super Stock cars were painted white with red interiors, Landy painted his car silver so I applied white "overspray" to the chassis first and then silver "overspray" to replicate Landy's repaint, the engine compartment was left white.

Pretty kool!

As I recall the rear wheels were painted a mix of Alclad magnesium and gold magnesium and the front wheels were a mix of magnesium and gunmetal to darken it up a bit.

Thank you fer yer comment. Paint is nothing special, Tamiya Lacquer shot outta the can.

Sand Kat sand rail. Enjoyed this kit as a kid, made a few changes this time around, added a photo etch "steering wheel" and replaced the column, installed a tach, loud pedal and a magneto. Relocated the fuel tank to match the box art and fabbed new mounting brackets fer it. Replaced the flag pole with fine music wire and made a Rat Fink flag fer it. All metal finishes are Alclad except fer the interior panels which are BMF.

'70 Mercury Marauder Transkit...

The Howmet Tubine Cars by MPC.

Turbo Shark by MPC...sealed inside.

Nope, that's correct...just poorly assembled. This is how the roll bar is supposed to look.
