During the last couple of weeks iv'e been working on designing and building my own version of a belly tank racer\lakester. it's a bit simplistic in couple of areas (curbside, wheels are not very authentic) but never the less i'm proud in my creation. btw, the numbers and gold stripe are hand painted on purpose.

well she's finished, some minor flaws here and there but nothing terrible

final coat of candy - this ones called "Bottle green", once it'll dry i will start final assembly

Had this kit in the stash and wanted an easy fast build, going OOB but different color scheme. its going to be Candy green with a white roof

I'll be travelling in new England from thanks giving until December 8 , any hobby related activities in those areas worth going too?

Excellent Work, Love it!

Sorry guys I'll be more specific, my dates are November 4th to 18.

first half of the month...

As it happens, im going to be in the US for two weeks in November. This time area is north east (largely from NYC to Maine, but with Philadelphia at the end) i looked at the Events calendar and also searched the net but couldn't find any Models or Real Cars event that are in that area and i could visit. I hope you guys can help out a fellow modeler and Gear head to find something interesting to see, other wise ill have to go with the wife to all the outlets, malls and other shopping centers in sight...?

I mostly use either lacquers, or tamiya and Mr hobby paints. is there any benefit using MCW enamels over their lacquers? or it's just a matter of what system i'm used to use?

yes i'll be interested, thanks

i got the re released "touch tone terror" kit but i want to build the little red wagon from it, does someone makes an aftermarket decal set for it?

Just finished this one, great little kit, very good fit, quit detailed oob, abd the decals are also very good.

many many hours later...

Started with the decals, and boy there are LOTS of them, some quit complex. but they are good quality so it makes it a little easier.

little more progress today, the "Office" is done as well as the under body , now moving to the body

another paint session today, got the tub wheels skid guards and the body painted, so now 99% of the parts are painted and i'll start assembly once they dry

A new model i started few days ago, Audi Sport Quattro #6 from the 86 monte carlo rally. very nice kit going OOB on this. so far i primed the body in light gray (hate painting white on white plastic) and started the under body assembly

Thanks. i used fusion360, i'm much more familiar with it and it a good tool for "hard surface parts" i'm struggling to learn blender as well and it's indeed quite difficult. you can get a free version of fusion360 too. a bit limited but all the major features are there.

posted in "Under Glass"

I've been designing and printing parts for my models for some time now, this time i wanted to try a full car. so i found a file on cults and bought it. only to discover it's super basic and lack details. but the general shape was kind of right for what i wanted. and this car is not available in plastic kit form i added my own designed wheels and roof rack and tried to make it acceptable, defiantly not my best work in terms of finish and details, but for a primitive 3d model its not terrible. the surfboard is from Revell 37 ford kit. another difficulty i ran into was making the glass, the front glass you see is my attempt in vacuum forming which is far from perfect. apparently there is also a model on cults that looks a little better, i might try it one day.

Started to paint some parts, the body got a coat of white as a primer, the final color is going to be bright (haven't decided yet) so i need a white base. the rest is just semi gloss black for the interior and floor pan, and rubber black for the tires. my biggest problem which i haven't found a solution to yet is the glass, will need to figure it out at some point.

Although I designed and printed parts for my models before, it's the first time I'm trying a full car. Bought the file on cults and I must say it's very very basic, but it captures the shape of the vw squareback so it'll have to do. The under body was just flat so I designed my own with some basic details. The interior is also just basic shapes but I am going to leave it as is. For wheels I'm going with Porsche fiches. Also trying to design a roof rack. The idea is to make it some kind of surf/cal look. I'm sure it will be far from perfect, but there are no kits available so at least it will be unique.

This is from the description, so i'd say defiantly stickers: "They are printed onto high grade white 7 year vehicle vinyl using UV resistant, water proof inks, the backing is very sticky and each individual sticker has it's own contour"

that's the closest thing i found, but i thing its stickers not water slide https://www.ebay.com/itm/153214308810?itmmeta=01J335N3MDG7P3PW2090XQHQ40&hash=item23ac48d1ca:g:JqIAAOSw8JZbvLm8&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwJrXaDNzhMlwpkvQ1BMy9uEOBNz98Ua6v%2Ft8Z9YKUYC6DY%2Bv74djY3W%2Fdt8VQQ1QjEa07%2FpJIY0%2BtmJUwOwvNHdFL4XIIfJo0KmaOiJDniGSJJup0oe%2FeBU%2B84bMRIMJxbjme32D1IT%2BShNNbueVXK2SniZ8zJPlTJkKz8sqXvLEM59%2B%2FCC7iNxlUxXbz3F3hWTqXNZdQchvwdkg1bpZuolWQa6qZZygRUUDkDhrDbT5lJHt%2FgeYwt8o8YnV83r6rg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6i61OWYZA
