STU111

Looks really weathered, a lot like abandoned cars in the outback here in Australia. Nice work. 👍🏻

G’day all. Well, tonight I have a new respect for you guys who airbrush your car bodies. With the weather perfect for painting, I decided to paint the Q. Well everything that could go wrong, went wrong. My trusty Iwata decided to block up , ( probably down to me not cleaning it thoroughly enough last time I used it ). Being unfamiliar with the SMS paints, l hadn’t thinned the paint enough. But despite the swear words and growling at the dog, l got there in the end. Still needs clear coat, but it’s starting to come together. After l cleaned the airbrush out, thoroughly this time, I took my dog to the park to make it up to him. 😁

Thanks guys. I sprayed the TS-53 over a black base, may have made it a shade darker, but it really pops in the sun. I don’t really know how I’m going to build it, I’m thinking basically a standard Z28, but with a lowered stance and some nice modern custom wheels. Thanks for looking. 👍🏻

Beautifully finished with awesome attention to even the smallest details make this 32 a stand out.👍🏻

The wheels, the colour, the stance. It all combines beautifully to make a sweet looking GTO. Lots to like about this one. 👍🏻

G’day all, being a fan of the Camaro, l thought I’d give this one a shot.As always I started with the body. As many of you will be aware, this tool is the late 70’s one with the T-Tops filled in to represent a solid roof Camaro. My copy had some indentations where the t-tops were that had to be dealt with.Not being familiar with the Stranger Things series, I wasn’t going to build it as that. The kit fortunately had 2 sets of Z28 stripes on the decal sheet. After looking at factory colours, I settled for code 29 dark blue. Tamiya TS-53 deep metallic blue was a close match so I ran with that. After painting, I applied the stripes ( the hood one was a pain! ) and cleared with Mr super clear uv cut gloss, the guy at my local hobby shop talked me into trying it, and l was pretty impressed, not as hot as TS-13, so was able to be applied over decals in thicker coats. Shouldn’t need too much polishing out. I’ll put it aside to harden out and in the meantime, I’ve got several other builds that need some attention. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Stuart.

That hits the spot. Looking forward to seeing it in the under glass section.

Nice! I’ll definitely keep an eye out for that one when you post it on here.👍🏻

G’day Luke, beautiful looking Torana. Superb in every aspect, however I really love that engine bay, having owned a couple of early Holdens with triple Weber carbs back in the day, it really strikes a chord with me. Top stuff. 👍🏻

G’day Michelle, nice job on the Valiant. Nice work on the wheels too, I struggle with detailing wheels. Can’t help noticing a few similarities between these and the Aussie Valiants of the same era. Top stuff. 👍🏻

Hand painted chrome trim and badging? Man, you must have good eye and a steady hand, it all looks great. Lovely looking 57 Ford all around. 👍🏻

Nicely “ratted out” l like this. 👍🏻

Sweet looking Charger. Lowered, nice wheels. Lots to like about this one. 👍🏻

Beautifully built Porsche and great photos to showcase it. 👍🏻

That’s some serious rubber in the back! It’s red and it’s got SS Cragars. Looks sweet. 👍🏻
