    Quick little fun build, I Screwed up a bit on the paint but whatever. This is a Smart for Two Revell kit. I added a set of Pegusas Gold D's. There is a Speaker box in the back but sadly you cannot see it. The Paint is Tropical Glitz Miami Night Life With a ridiculous amount of metal flake. Typical over the Top Miami.

    This was a fun project That started out as the old AMT International Paystar 5000. I shortened the chassis and moved the rear axle forward to match up with the 3D printed Service body. The Crane, generator, and welder were all part of the print. The Paint was a custom test color from my buddy Manny at Tropical Glitz.The Scroll decals were a royal pain but I like the look. The figure is from Iceman Collections

    It's probably not gonna happen. considering there are only 5 things this cat is known for One of the most recognizable movie car in the world John and his Cocaine deal on camera Poor build quality Severely underpowered gull-wing doors Either way, I will be buying this kit for sure.

    Stranger things is a huge money maker, and revell want to get in on that $$$ The subjects you mentioned maybe be exciting to you, but don't have the wow factor on the shelf. Sorry but the 65 and up mustangs are incredible boring cars. especially the latest generation.

    The last of the V8 interceptors. Or is most people know it as Mad Max's car from the Road Warrior. Okay okay before anyone freaks out no it's not an exact replica of the one in the movie this is my take on it few little tweaks. You can see on the interior I added a little something to remember that technically braveheart drove this car. Other than that basically built out of the box just some different paint color callouts on the stuff in the back it's hard to see but there is a can of dog food and a case of dog food inside and a little go-go juice can other than that this is built straight out of the box it's an aoshima kit. Painting black on black on black was kind of interesting not really sure that you can even tell that there are different colors on there but I like it. The only thing I will say semi-negative on this kit is that the mounting points are very very small so when you go to put a couple of parts of the suspension together just be careful cuz it's easy to misalign with the way the mounting holes are and yes I know I lost the tail light but hey it's the road warrior you'll be driving around the outback you going to lose something

    It’s a lovely day in New Jersey, however, someone did something stupid and now they're wrapped up in the trunk and about to go for a long dirt nap. But be careful what you say and do because there's always a rat around… The two Brothers at the back of the car are Vito and Carmine they got the call to take care of the the thing. It's not the first thing, but the other thing. As you can see Carmine has made a complete and utter mess of himself and Vito doesn't look so happy about the situation so they're having a little bit of a conversation over some Jack Daniels. Everything's been paid for as you can see on the front seat they just need to take care of what's in the trunk. The stupid part is they borrowed their boss's car with a vanity plate to do this job.. The Cadillac is the reissue Cadillac Lowrider, The Figures are from icemancollections and The Woodgrain dash stickers are from detailjunkees if you have this kit I highly highly recommend them.

    Here's something a little bit different. This is an old MPC Datsun tow truck monster truck. Not a horrible kit but very typical of MPC instructions that didn't quite explain where parts went some parts didn't have mounting spots but overall not a horrible kit to build and the result is pretty damn good I like it I'm happy with how it came out. The paint is from Tropical Glitz Market Rose Gold. The only extra thing I added was the flags on the back that I created in Word and then printed out. I was looking for that 70s paint job look which is why I ended up with this color and the kit supplied decal

    This was a very fun build with very few challenges The kit started as the AMT Chevy 1500 dually snap-together kit, The body on the bag was off eBay I scratch-built the ladder rack and the front and rear bumpers to give it that get-out of my way I'm working here look. The interior is where I had all the fun and decided to add all kinds of details including a New York Yankees head even though I'm a Met fan, cooler boots magazines tons of paperwork flashlights, and all the things you need in a work truck plus of course this being New York you can't not have a pizza. The Staten Island ferry and DOT decals are from round2 decal sheet the orange is straight out of the can from Tamya. The black hood was done to make it look like this truck has gone through a tough life and a replacement hood was needed but painting it was pointless so flat black it is. I'm pretty sure that they would not use the vector bar but I actually really like the look of them.
