  1. Looks great in those colors, nice job!
  2. I agree, looks box stock. Great job on the conversion!
  3. Nice job!
  4. Congrats Scott, very cool! I plan on doing something similar someday to the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 kit I have.
  5. Congrats to your grandson! It looks beautiful! I built that as a kid a loooong time ago. I'd love to build it again, do you know if it is still available as a reissue?
  6. I usually build just cars also, this is just the second plane I've built since getting back into the hobby a few years ago. I used Tamiya TS-83 metallic silver. Tamiya recommends using TS-14 black as a primer for it, which is what I did. However the TS-83 is about $23/can!
  7. Thanks Pappy, Shoopdog, Stavanzer and Jim!
  8. Pretty neat! Looks like a modern "Erector Set" kinda thing.
  9. Just finished this yesterday. The first lightning bolt decal gave me fits so Ieft them off. Nicely detailed kit. Looks nice sitting next to my 1:48 scale B17 Flying Fortress.
  10. Very cool Dave! I built the Badman also when I was about 15. You did a great job with the decals!
  11. From this past weekend. The "theme" was "Icons of British Motoring". The last hour I was there it rained quite heavily so many cars were draped in plastic preventing good photos. This Allard was my favorite...... Then this Lotus..... Then this Cooper Climax..... Then this A friend owns this stunningly beautiful 200hp Triumph TR250.... Another acquaintance owns this beatiful TR6....... This '37 MG is something special..... '52 Aston Martin DB2...... This is pretty unique I think.... 1924 Bentley Vanden Plas Tourer...... A one of a kind (color wise) Javelin... More to come (mostly American iron) later......
  12. G'day Stuart! Thanks....the bed strips are 1/16" wide chrome pinstriping. I have some 1/32" (1mm) wide chrome pinstriping also but I thought the 1/16" wide looked more to proper scale. It was my first time using a wash on the bed. Thanks again for your tips on using it!
  13. Thank you everyone! When pulling off the masking tape on the boat gunnels it pulled some of the green paint with it leaving a ragged edge. Gonna try to touch that up to make a cleaner edge.
  14. Nice job AMT68! Reminds me of my FILs car from back in the day.
  15. Very nice- looks great in that color too!
  16. Nice build! Perfect color for this imho!
  17. I have the 1:48 scale version of this Airfix kit in my stash. I just opened up the box and looked at the parts. It's my 1st Airfix kit. The tiny molded in details are almost unbelievable! Nice job XYHARRY!
  18. Very cool and great photography. I really like the detailing on the rear doors!
  19. Wow that is beautiful! The colors you picked are perfect for this!
