Snore... Another lame boring mustang. Just like the real thing

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.

thank you

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

Got MIne yesterday from Model Roundup

Thank You. I was born in NY lived in Staten Island, and spent a lot of time in Jersey.

Thank You

Thanks everyone. It was a really fun build

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.

THank YOu

Thank you, Tropical Glitz Paint is awesome, SOme great colors

yessss sir

thank you

Thank You

I Built this a frew years ago using The figures from Iceman. The gift are all folded paper.

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

awesome build, horrible movie

Thank you everyone for the comments, For those interested in the interior detail here are some shots before I put it in the truck..

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.

Thank you, this is a "union" job no one's coming around to complain LOL

THank you everyone for the great comments

Oh wow great info, now I understand the weird dash/ steering wheel set up

Well here is one you don't see very often and has been sitting on my to-build pile for at least 10 years. The Airfix Maserati Boomerang. Very basic kit of a very cool-looking 80's Concept?? I don't believe that a real car was ever built, but my knowledge of Maserati is limited. Anyway, I was looking for something unique and a quick build so here she is. The kit goes together very well except for the door windows which have no real mounting spots so basically drop in figure is out and glue is the approach. The Paint Tropical Glitz Coral Reef is straight out of the can, with 2k Clear also straight from the can. The heat shield is the paper in the cigarette packs, most likely Marlboro, but maybe Camel.

Here is something a bit different, and not something I have seen built before. This is a 1/24 Deck Crane a buddy of mine printed. The Print was pretty cool but was missing a lot of detail. So what I thought was going be a quick easy build turned into a bit more, but I enjoyed the build and love the results. While trying to research this piece of equipment as there is no brand attached to it. I stumbled on a great resource. government auctions, there are a ton of different sites and each has a huge amount of old equipment listed even some brand new. The best part is the huge amount of photos attached to each auction, each of the listings seems to have a min of 25 photos but most seem to have many more. So while this crane is generic I stole lots of ideas including the way the hydraulic hoses route to the winch. I also resized and printed out the safety labels in the cab. I ended up scratch-building the outriggers and the hydro piston. The front and rear were reworked to add the Diamond plate. Once the build was done I decided it needed a bit more life so I added the worker taking his lunch break checking out Insta on his phone.. Some Pizza Coke and a sprite. Dont tell his boss but there is an empty bottle of jack somewhere under the crane
