This is a Resin Model Ranch product. I call it THE E-LIMO-NATOR. I used an AMT 1940 Ford Coupe as my donor kit. The paint is a Rust-Oleum Gloss Hunter Green. The wheels are Z Force Model Works artillery wheels with whitewall tires that I purchased from Iceman Collections. The center caps on the wheels are painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome and the rest of the wheels and tires are painted with acrylic craft paint. The engine is also purchased from Iceman Collections and is a Modern Ford 429 Big Block with ITB stacks and painted Black with Metallic Bronze accents. The body has been lowered a little and I had to modify the suspension to get it to go lower. The interior is an acrylic craft paint color called Teddy Bear Tan. The dashboard, steering wheel and column are painted the same color as the body. The carpet is some tan craft felt I got from Hobby Lobby. The windshield and the rear windows are made from scratch plastic sheets I got from a diecast car box. The running boards are painted Flat Black. The bumpers are removed to give it a street rod look. The luggage on the roof came with the resin model except for the Dark Red briefcase and the guitar case. The guitar case opens up and has a removable acoustic guitar inside. The donor kit fit very nicely on this resin model. The parts I used from the donor kit include the grill, headlights and headlight surrounds, taillights, trunk handle, radiator, front and rear suspension, front seat, dashboard, steering wheel, and steering column. The driveshaft I had to extend with a piece of a styrene rod. This is one of my best paint jobs on a resin body.

I built it to look like your average small town Iowa countryside deer hunting truck. I painted everything with a paint brush. The paint color is an Acrylic craft paint FolkArt Metallic Sheen Burgundy. The dirty look is done with a light brown acrylic craft paint and a dry brush patting technique. The bed is painted in a Flat Black to resemble a bed liner. The interior is painted in a Glossy Grey color to look like a vinyl interior. I even brought the dirty look to the interior as well as the engine. The seatbelt buckles are 3D printed along with the hunting binoculars and the hunting rifle. The seatbelt material is so grey ribbon I got from Hobby Lobby. The carpet is some grey craft felt that I dirtied up with the light brown paint. The engine bay details were all painted by hand and were all molded in. All the chrome was dirtied up the same way as the body. I wanted this truck to look like it's in good shape and just needs a car wash. It's a box stock build.

I named it RAMMSTEIN. It's painted with a Krylon Gloss Navy Blue color. The interior color is a Rust-Oleum Gloss Ivory color. The shifter knob is a 3D printed Mad Max Fury Road skull mounted on a paperclip. The floor mats are custom designed by me and printed out on glossy photo paper. The items in the bed are 3D printed. Those items are a Coleman cooler, a roll of duck tape, a cross tire iron, and a gas can. The tailgate net is made of woven Grey ribbon I got from Hobby Lobby and mounted on each side with paperclips The PlayStation Portable on the seat is 3D printed and the screen picture is printed out on some plain copy paper. The image is a Need For Speed game screenshot. The engine is box stock and painted a flat light orange color. The wheels are from JPS Custom Wheels on Instagram. I got them plain and I painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome. The tires came cast in rubber. I had to add lifting blocks to the rear leaf springs in order to get it to sit level otherwise it would be high in the front and low in the rear. The figure and the two American Pitbulls are 3D printed and painted by hand. This is one of my older builds so the paint isn't exactly perfect. 

This is the last build finished in 2023. It's a Lindberg 1948 Lincoln Continental Convertible kit. I call it MADEA. It's painted with a Tropical Glitz Candy Apple Red over a Paint Huffer Metal Flake Silver Surfer base coat. The primer I used was Rust-Oleum Automotive Flat Grey primer and the clear coat is Rust-Oleum Gloss Clear Lacquer. The bodywork was done with super glue to piece the body together, then liquid styrene to seal up the gaps and smoothed out, and finally some Bondo glazing putty to fill in and imperfections and sanded smooth. The interior is painted a Flat Light Tan acrylic craft paint done using a paint brush. The dashboard was chrome plated but I didn't want to completely strip it because I wanted the chrome around the gauges to stay so I dry brushed a nice Woodgrain effect on it and wiped off the spots that I wanted chrome. Then I added some gloss black acrylic craft paint on the small detail spots like the air conditioning knobs and the gauges. I also used that same black paint on the foot pedals. The Dead Presidents Sacramento car club plaque I designed from a picture of a real plaque and 3D printed it in 1/24 scale. The steering wheel is also 3D printed and both it and the plaque are airbrushed with some SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone paint I got from Iceman Collections and painted over a Rust-Oleum Satin Black base color. The carpet is some Tan craft felt I got from Hobby Lobby that matches the seat color perfectly. The wheels are kitbashed from two different kits but I don't know what kits those are. I modified the kit front suspension using a candle lighter and bending it until it sat as low as possible without cutting anything. I did the same thing with the rear suspension but I also cut out part of the underside above the rear axle so that I could lower the back end as low as possible. I painted the underside of the car with Rust-Oleum Satin Black but used a Gloss Clear coat over it. The engine is box stock and was all chrome plated already. The radiator got painted with the same chrome paint as the suspension and interior detail parts. The kit battery was swapped out for a 3D printed Optima battery that I painted by hand. The Fishtail exhaust tip is 3D printed and also painted Hyperchrome and was designed by Nahuel Customs on Instagram. The James Hetfield figure was designed by Ronnie Yonk on Instagram and is 3D printed in 1/24 in one piece rather than multiple pieces and then hand painted. This Lincoln definitely, in my opinion, looks like the kind of car that James Hetfield would own.

I call it SASQUATCH. The paint is a Rust-Oleum Light Blue with Flat Black weathering. I eliminated the bumpers. The KC off road lights and the roof rack are 3D printed. The 4X4 leaf spring suspension is 3D printed along with the wheels and tires, the transfer case, and the u-joints on the driveshaft. The shaft part on the driveshaft is made from scratch using a plastic straw. The engine is a 3D printed 572 Big Block Chevy engine.
