Dragline

Yeah, common as frogs right.... If it all matches, it was ordered to race no doubt.

They sometimes do. And when they do, you go with it.

Sitting pretty. A common swap and these always look great. Keep on gluing stuff together.

Not a big fan of the first gen Vette but if you keep this up I may have to revise my stance.

You all are too much...

Between the stills and the boxtop, I painted it as you see. Lots of washes and acrylic paint.

Looks like a winner from here...

Very flexible kit this. I have one myself and keep pushing it back in favor of another. I'll be watching this page.

Wow, what a stunner the real thing is. That print came out well.

Gonna be a winner. Following...

Progress made on the chassis and motor. I've decided on Stoplight Red Metallic in the little Testors bottle. Tan interior should complement it. The paint for the chassis has an undercoating effect. This paint has been discontinued (of course). It has a great finish that looks like scale undercoating . I'm gonna miss it like Testors buffing Metalizers.

It's funny you should say that because the stories are serialized through several issues. Then in the 90s entire issues were devoted to single stories. It's all over the map. Probably not for you I think. But thought I'd add to your thread. My thing isn't always for everyone.

I impressed myself with this tire lettering job. The Eagle csc is particularly small. Windsor Newton Series 7 brush and white acrylic paint from the Two Thin Coats line of miniature paints. Not cheap, but it's right the first time.

I'm not going go into my years as a comic book dealer and all that. Besides, I am done with it. However, I do have one collection that I am very proud of. My collection of Heavy Metal magazine. I have every issue from number 1 April 1977 to issue 320. I also have every hardcover and variant as well as all the Specials. It's a comprehensive collection. I also don't have a single issue below a vf grade. That means every copy is super nice. Some were never circulated, some were in private collections and were doubles. It took 9 years of diligence to complete this collection. They are also all in Mylar bags with special backing boards of the highest quality. If you've ever read HM you know what it's about. They are adult comics basically. Nothing is really off the table as far as nudity and violence are concerned. Not for the kiddies. I also have many other Heavy Metal magazine related items. Once you start, it's hard to stop.

Many moons ago I was in Flat Rock MI doing cable work with my stepfather. I was tooling around one day and a black one just like this rolled up on me. Monster cam and four speed, it growled like a caged beast. He took off rather calmly, then rolled on some power and it just scooted away. Very impressive car. As is this car. Very nicely done. I see this kit in my future. WOW, that dash and Dana are impressive. So well done brother!

Built this eons ago. The only three shots of it I have. I gave it to my buddy Lloyd as a going away gift when he went back home to Oklahoma. A great guy and awesome NAPA Counterman. The man forgot more about heavy duty trucks than I'll ever know. He loves it and still has it in a case in his man cave. Great kit to build and I need another for my own collection.

I wish I had. These were Gundam kits and they were super expensive. He may have had them overpriced, but I looked at Gundam Pros website and so e were easily that expensive.

Gorgeous from every angle. Lots of red ponies at the end there.

I just started a 94 Bird thread. Good luck to you Sir.

Project X never looked so good.

That blue is always striking. Should be killer with your skills.

Ambitious and already looking great Following this one

Superbly built and painted. You know your way around some styrene.

A car I liked quite a bit when new. We ended up with a 4 cylinder Jeep Wrangler that my wife fell in love with. Not sure of a color yet. Something light and bright with a light interior. Windshield and roof are one big clear piece. I like the interior engineering on this one. The chassis is also nice. Not sure about the chrome water pump though. What were they thinking? Light detailing and smooth paint are on tap. Just a car I always liked. Understated, yet still quick.

Yep, good eyes. I like to add washes where I think they will do the most good. Adding depth and dirt or oil so that it looks used.
