  1. Nice work so far! I just love making kit parts look better, and adding extras, keep posting, it's inspiring!
  2. Cool hot rod, love all the mods!
  3. I built this original JoHan '63 Dodge waaaay back in 1999/2000, when I really didn't know much, but it's the Lindberg '64 Dodge underpinnings, seemed to fit well to me back then. These are really old photos, but you can look at them and see how the fit is. It went pretty easily together and wheelbase looks good from the side? I am planning a much better '63 Plymouth so I'm watching this build closely, cheers!
  4. Wow, it's lookin' great so far, a lot of cool tips on this build thank you! What wheels and tires have you chosen, or is that still to be determined?
  5. Wow that's some nice work, love it and the colors cool!
  6. Thank you, no the folded top is just sprayed some flat black, I guess it's just nicely molded by Fujimi!
  7. As far as a camera goes, I think you could keep using your phone, just take pictures from farther away, then crop them. The blur you get looks like it's because you're too close for it to focus properly. Just a suggestion, as I do have a Nikon digital, but found the iPhone just as good and way more convenient as I always have it with me.
  8. I love these kinds of posts, showing step by step, and it IS impressive how you start with plain pieces of styrene and create a pickup body in large scale, wow, cool! And I love that black channeled roadster with yellow rims, man I've gotta get going on one of my own Big Dueces, um, someday! Cheers.
  9. This is so cool and I agree with y'all for suggestion some '58 Chevy influence on the front grill.
  10. Very cool work and a very cool car. So many mods, I love it!!
  11. Awesome work on that mega-super-car!
  12. Looks like a mediocre quality resin, but what you've already done is a huge improvement! Can't wait to see what else you'll do, as I also love the style of this car, cheers!
  13. I just love it, it's such a gorgeous car and it looks like the real thing here, awesome work!
  14. I started to mix that chassis, engine, suspension, with an Eldo Brougham, stretched the front fenders and customized the body but here's how I extended the front end. To keep the wheel openings intact, I added styrene to the lower portion just at the door/fender line, then on the upper part (this kit has a multi-piece body) I extended it just above the wheel openings. I opened up the hood and fitted the Foose inners as well.
  15. Wow what a fantastic paint job, great color, and I'm sure it'll end up being a super cool show car! Wheels and tires???
  16. Great job Farmer, love those "Plain Janes"
  17. Very realistic build, love the "backyard" setting too, nice modeling!
  18. Wow, that is gorgeous, love it in black!
  19. Cool project and your "shop" looks so real, love that!
  20. Lookin' real cool so far!
  21. Man I just LOVE this kind of stuff! The work you do is inspiring! I'm amazed at how much you can do to improve the look without major customizing. This and the '58 Ford are stunning, sweet!
  22. I almost always modify wheels and tires, but I LOVE the way you've shown it done! So many kits offer cool wheels and tires, but the fronts are almost always too wide! The main thing is to remember that you CAN make any wheel and tire fit any model car with some modifications!
  23. What a great tree making video, very easy to follow, well done, thank you very much! Even though I have no plans to make trees, I found this very informative.
  24. Cool project, keep us up to date!
  25. That's looking great! Always loved these Jags, nice build!
