Dragline

If you find my original post I give the numbers for the Duplicolor paints I used. Since yours is done this goes for anyone trying to to match this car.

Looks fantastic. No motor?

Love this bike build! And BTW, you are in the bike section.

Love this kit and you did it up so nice. Time to finish mine. Inspired!

Those headers are a work of art. Time well spent brother.

Are you kidding? You got skillz brother. That is insanely gorgeous.

One of my favorite automobiles of all time right there. There is something about it. It just pushes the right buttons. Much more than the Camaro. And I adore the Camaro. The right color outside and in. Thank you.

Stunning! Wish I hadn't sold mine.. ☹️

Gorgeous build Cruzer. And the Mod Top is in fact Over The Top! The green just sets it all off. Super clean to boot as usual. Bravo Sir!

Man! What 3D can do. Cannot wait to start in on mine. Incredible project that simply wasn't possible as little as 3 years ago to the average Joe. And it looks dead on too. Well played Sir. Well played indeed.

Deep burgundy or plum pearl and black? Aaaaawww yeah...

A great many of us buy old kits or reissues because we want to build them with the acquired skills of the decades that have passed As cool as this build is, seeing brush painted bodies does something to me. It's almost as if it invades my soul. Your last sentence summed it up. Restore the body (you have the decals, was it fate?) and then leave the rest as is. Best of both worlds. But you do as you see fit.

I took a customer to the mall about an hour ago. He had a cane and and moved slowly. While he went to GNC to get supplements I cruised the toy store next door. They had Anime and Gundam kits, but on the bottom shelf was a Stranger Things VW and Blazer. Right next that was this adorable little kit from Aoshima. They had all three movie kits there. I almost bought em all. But since I didn't know what I was getting into I just got this. Pull back motor and it's about 1/35 or a tad smaller. I see BTTF and I look closer. I'll def put some work into this to make it look cooler than it already is.

Gonna Bump this. My wants may be not quite in line value wise for this one. So how's about a drag kit? If you really want this show me what you have to trade and we can go from there. I'll give it a week or so. If no bites I'll put it in the queue.

Gorgeous build on every respect. Truly fantastic.

Nope. What you need is a deep paint job. Watching this one 🍿

Another great kit from Tamiya. Looks like you are crushing it.

My 2010 Chrysler Sebring's battery is in the fender well on the driver's side. Pull the wheel and the the plastic panel. It's on a tray that slides out and allows access.

Most of us of a certain age remember this kit quite fondly. Monogram was in the throes of a revival of sorts at the time of this kits release. This kit and the Hemi Cuda were at the center of that revival. Gonna be a great color combo. Looking good already.

This is one of those projects that has been on and off my bench more times than I care to think. I am currently stripping the wheels in preparation for primer. Over the years I have built 4 or 5 of these. Some were for a certain person, a couple ended up somewhere else. They always impress and that's why they tend to leave. I can be generous at times with my builds. I have given many away over the years. My brother Rick has my entire Dave Deal collection at his house. I visit it now and then. My late Father had two display cabinets full of my builds going back decades. They were returned to me only to get redistributed amongst my brothers and cousins. In a way I am flattered. In another I am annoyed. This car is in it's final stages. Time to button it and my 246 Dino up for good. This kit has always impressed me with its brakes and suspension parts. They are truly impressive when finished. I have other EM projects sitting awaiting the plastic to be ripped off and sanding sticks and primer to start flying. Some go faster than others. I can build the Porsche 930 In a couple of weeks with a nice result. But for some reason a Ferrari of any type will take far longer.

Bean counters. The bane of society.

But why do that when it makes perfect sense?

So possibly? I guess it was where there was room.

No kidding! That's awesome. Although I do see those stupid 3 wheel abominations around in the summers here. This one is a far cry from those things. Raptors or T-Rex, or some such nonsense. I guess if you cannot keep 2 wheels up, these are the next best thing?

I was pondering this one. Now don't laugh... Do you suppose it's a performance- weight transfer thing they are going for here? Never mind...
