  1. Time for a quick inventory, Ulf. Hopefully you didn't lose anything.
  2. Clean build, really reminds me of everything I would see on magazine shelves as a kid. I've always liked the deep maroon color on these trucks. Very nice work on thisπŸ‘πŸ‘
  3. Yes!! I just recently commented to another member here about this exactly. You never see a base model Camaro. Great build idea and fantastic work so far.
  4. I know situation all too well David. I must be fortunate, my wife occasionally builds a model,though I tend to buy more for her than she builds. I'll take that as a win I suppose.
  5. A wet, chilly 38 degrees in Albany.
  6. I've used this Spraymax clear on NON-MODEL related projects. It has a shelf life once the can is activated. It is a true 2k product, so it stinks and proper respirator is a must. I have No clue how it will react with hobby level paints, no issues with the Napa mixed rattle cans I had made up.
  7. I order mine directly from BMF, less chance of problems from old age and possible left over "bad batch" stuff. I guess it can degrade over time, wrinkles up and stuff. Good luck if you try it, there's an awesome tutorial pinned here on the site.
  8. Bit of a bummer with the Skyline. The other two look fantastic. I agree with Tj, foil is the way to go. Especially on the Hudson. I spent a few relaxing hours yesterday foiling that roadrunner I'm building, very rewarding. Looking forward to the weathering on that Skyline, I think that's a good compromise considering the situation. πŸ‘πŸ‘
  9. Absolutely true. There are times I think I should be moving along a bit faster, but I've learned where rushing can lead you to more work in the long run. Quality over Quantity. Very nice work with the picnic tables and mirrors. All those small touches add up in the end.
  10. I believe you speak for all of us modelers David. πŸ‘πŸ‘
  11. Sounds like a perfect winter project TJ. Go for it.πŸ‘πŸ‘
  12. No feral cats here,I need to bait in more owls.
  13. Should have been an irk, one of my tractors would not shut off. Easy fix with zero dollars spent ,so that's a plus. All set to push snow this winter with hopefully no headaches. But I really am starting to dislike small woodland creatures.
  14. Nice roadrunner Nathan. The gaps around the grill were really bugging me with this kit, but all in all it's pretty good.
  15. Now that just looks awesome. Great choice on that maroon, looks absolutely beautiful.
  16. Great job on the chop, looks fantastic so far.
  17. Got the grille fitted up tonight. Between recessing it back and the added trim, it doesn't look too bad.
  18. Beautiful work. Great idea with the valve cover gaskets, little details like that can add so much to a build. The interior looks amazing as well.
  19. Very well done. Simple,clean looking 57. I like the contrast with the cleared roof vs flat body. It's got a great old school look. This is proof that sometimes less is more.πŸ‘πŸ‘
  20. Looking awesome, cool that you went with the AMC power. At car shows I find my self mildly suprised when I see a "ford in a ford" ect.ect. Keep up the great work πŸ‘.
  21. I'm in upstate NY, at 360k those trucks are beyond the scrap yard. It's a shame too,cause they are great vehicles. I've got a super clean 2012 I'm doing my best to keep mother nature at bay with. Twice a year I fluid film the undercarriage, I've cavity waxed the trouble spots, added rear fender well covers and go as far doing some minor disassembly to clean out the junk that builds up in places. Great looking clean truck you've got.πŸ‘πŸ‘
