  1. The chassis has been chipped but not washed (smile!) or weathered yet! More progress . . . this kind of layering of paint (salt + hairspray + paint = chipping) is addictive. WATCH OUT!
  2. Here's the rolling chassis with the rust paint and rust stippling on it . . . And now the body is taking on the rust paint . . . the roundel masks are for the impending graphics . . .
  3. Like I said from the start, this kit builds beautifully no matter what you do to it. You can abuse it and it still responds well!
  4. All right maties, it's been raining so I had to put the 76 Caprice on hold for today, and then I turned my attention to this one. I got all the basic components in primer . . .. I got the tires and wheels painted and weathered just to have the right kind of shoes to influence the rest . . .
  5. LOL, yes, you can do a few at a time, I guess . . .
  6. Oh man, this thing is looking sweet. Take your vitamins and keep it going!
  7. I have to say I like the idea . . . it will give those folks who just want to show their models without feedback. Hey, it's what makes this forum so cool. Keep up the great work, gents!
  8. Yes, this is definitely my #1 kit of all time. I don't know what it is about it other than I just go crazy with those fat fenders and the way everything falls together so nice . . . These were the last two I built before the current one . . . it's the kind of kit that makes me do the Curly on the floor!
  9. Thanks, everyone . . . Michael, I like the color suggestion . . . I think I am going to try it out on a couple of spoons . . . stay tuned in . . .
  10. Interesting. You can have a multitude of options for doing panels . . .
  11. LOL! EYEGORE was wearing them! See: Margaritas and popcorn are a good combination!
  12. NIce, I like both models . . . they are both cool.
  13. Thanks, John . . . and Dominik, we'll see where this one goes. I am thinking of HOK Razberry Pearl . . . but I could easily go with Rootbeer too.
  14. All right, I am starting with the tires while the body, which is in primer, dries . . .
  15. Sean, I got them from the place I get most of my kits: MODEL ROUND UP in Atlanta. http://www.modelroundup.com/ Give them a try. They are fast and very professional, and they have reasonable prices.
  16. Thanks, Rob. I appreciate the extra eyes!
  17. If I get this close, I will be happy with it!
  18. Oh my, Chuck, you've got the eye candy flying all over the place again. This is good for my nerves. It all helps keep me CRANKED UP! Romell, buddy, that's a great bench you got there. Keep the great projects coming!
  19. Thanks, Chuck and Tony. Yes, this one's got EYEGORE salivatin' all over his fire hydrant! LOL.
  20. Tony, every time I do one is a leap of faith! LOL!
  21. Nice. Next up you need the vehicles.
  22. Actually, Andy, I have not build a shiny one of these, ever . . . something about those fat fenders makes my Dremel go crazy!
  23. Great models . . . I love the taxi!
  24. A Zion Ute! Love it! Great idea. Carry on!
