Yes i did, quite simple actually: first i use some sort of base color (any type of brown to your liking, i used quit light brown) then i use i tiny brush and paint the grain with a dark color freehand once its dry i give at a coat or two of Tamiya clear orange that's it.

got some more done, glass, tires, bumpers and lights all installed. need to complete the trim and decals. it's funny but the kit doesn't come with rear view and side mirrors...

oops, to late for that now... Also body and wheels got painted, since it's enamel i will let it dry couple of days before handeling

so few days ago i started on the amt 66 Fairlane, so far i finished the engine, interior and will be moving on to paint the body soon. interior is kind of boring being all black...but came out nice with some touches of wood grain and chrome. body will be painted MCW Wimbledon white enamel.

Just finished this very nice Tamiya Kit yesterday, oob, Tamiya kits are always a breeze to build

i just used the decal in the kit

I'm pretty much done, as usual for me I never cant seem to get a very good finish, but I'm too lazy to strip and repaint. it looks ok when its in the display cabinet ? I should had work on the stance, it came out a little too high, especially at the front.

Tamiya has 4\5 different Impreza models which of them is the best or they are all more or less the same?

as the title says, there are a lot of Impreza WRC kits out there, which one is the best? tia Eran

Well things didn't go very well with the base coat, shot several coats of mcw enamel but i think i didn't thin it enough and had to low air pressure. it splattered and spider webbed, so once dry i wet sanded it again to get everything flat and ill try to do few more coats of paint these are pictures after sanding

body has been primed and wet sanded with 2000 grit sand paper, ready for base coat

sorry to bump an older topic but id like to here some advise i have an option to buy a slightly used anycubic photon M3, with some additional equipment (rotating table and a UV lamp-"Not a wash & cure station"),and it also comes with 2 resin bottels. on the other side i can get the phrozen sonic mini 8kS for brand new for 50$ more, without extras. What do you guys think?

Started this one just after i finished the super stoker monte Carlo, this kit surprised me for the better, really nice details, all separate parts (frame, floor pan, lots of engine details) and fir isn't too bad too. started with the frame and interior now that's its done i''l move on to the body, which will be painted MCW enamel metallic citrus green

these two has separate threads in the "on the work bench" forums, but since the intention was to mate them for display I'm posting the finished pair here

Almost done, decals and maybe some dirt and dust

so moving on with the build, the frame is all done and i painted the body, now waiting for it to fully dry before clear

Last week i finished the "Racer wedge" truck, see here: So it need a car to haul... I chose the mpc super stocker monte carlo, cause i like the car (also got a "standard 70 annual amt one to build as a road car) old kit, not too many details but not terrible, i guess it can be made presentable. so far i finished the frame, roll cage and the wheels, will paint the body tomorrow.

it's basically done, i'll add some accessories once i finish the car that will be on the ramp (will open a thread in the cars wip)

Added some black wash to the grill, detailed painted and decals applied (still need to to the other side of the ramp) Also aligned the ramp better by adding some plastic strips on the frame, i think it came out pretty good

Moving on, cleared (although clear coat was never my best skill), glass and interior tub assembled, grill assembled - turned out better the i excepted. cab and ramp mocked up on frame, no major issues so far, i think i need to raise the ramp a bit to line up with the cab

engine done and attached in place, interior tub also done. next will be clearing the body, assembly, decals and some more detail painting. the grill on this model is quite bad i know it will give me griefs...

Green was selected, the cab interior is painted in a non metallic green i found in my paints, seats and other details will be hand painted in different colors.

So i started working on the MPC 72 Chevy "Racersa Wedge", kit is quite basic but ok. engine is quite nicely detailed. had a badly warped hood, so i tried to fix it with some heat and clamping to a straight surface, which helped a little. main body and the ramp are primed with surfacer 1200, still debating on a color. I'm thinking either metallic lime green or yellow. chassis is painted and other small bits and pieces are in the process.

I wont be worth to deal with all the regulation and costs for sending 1-3 cans, but since i understand i can decant the paint and it will hold up well, i might do that
