I tend to do the same with the spray's too. Just can't buy one!

More work, atm in the hurry up and wait mode so things can dry and I can do more assembly.

So I got a bit of things done on my 34 Ford Truck I really need to work on the kit for the wife. She changed her mind on colors so good thing its been in Purple Power for a bit.

Glad to see I am not the only one who buys Tamiya's in bulk!

I had never done any sort of body mods ..and was like, I wonder ... so yeah.

Thanks! I am working on it be a mild 30's custom. No running boards and flat head and the right tires/wheels.

Welcome to the forum.

Here are the pictures I promised and some more work as well. The blue is Race Blue by Tamiya, and the Tan is Sand Tan (I think is the name) by Tamiya.

Ohhh thank you for sharing! I love old junkyards that still have classic steel!

So went to my local hobby shop, had a nice chat with the owner. I get to support him until March 2026, so will look to spend something each payday there, be it supplies or a kit. So without further ado... I had the wife with me while I was out and about, and this haul was from today and I blew the budget so far out of the water, I only got a dirty look from the wife, but I didn't get murdered lol. I had plan on spending about 200ish, but was closer to 300 lol.

Welcome! Enjoy your stay! Can't wait to see what you have done!

Welcome to the forum! Great folks here, and skill levels as well. Can't wait to see what you share with us!

Got work done today! Will post pics tomorrow of work done today. Lots of paint down. Also, got the wheels/tires organized as well.

Wicked!

He has some wicked stuff there. I saw a few things I liked there. Gonna have to figure out what I have in my stash I can make a lowrider out of!

Wild! Following this for sure!!

Following!

THIS!!! ^^^ I always put my name on things I do, because if I do something and it's wrong or breaks, I will figure out why on both accounts. I try and teach our new guys this, and they don't care, they don't understand it. 1000000000000000000000000x facts!!! Exactly! Too many go the easy route! I hear this adnauseum at work all the time, and I fire back with.. was it there sweat or blood that did this? And they go no, and I follow with.. why are they getting my money this will make. The uppers shut up then because they know I will grill them to the ground.

Quality always takes the hike when you get the idiots from Accounting involved, I know this first hand in my industry. We could have things lighter and safer but the idiot bean counters say nope, cuz it's not fiscally wise,yet neither is employees in the hospitals for cuts, hernia's, back issues, etc. Cheap parts = win for accounting regardless of industry, they care only to give the "shareholders" a big fuzzy happy set of news.

For me I do have a 1/12 I want to build so would be ok, and depending on the time frame. I may be interested.

I love this little altered! Not powered by the typical engines we think of. Very nice work!

If it peels, do a little bit of yellow aging on the windows, and call it sun baked! Growing up I had a neighbor that had a 56 Chevy in his yard, he kept it trimmed up around but the interior was sun baked to hell, and you could see how it was peeling apart, which your comment made me think of that car.

Looking great! I think I have this kit in my stash! I like the color choices!!

Beastly!!

The engineering in this is .. awestruck amazing! Thank you for sharing!!
