Utter brilliance! 3D printing cannot be overstated as a tool for building what the minds eye sees.

Totally crushed it Bob. I have one.... I looked in the box.. Said Ugh... Closed it. It clearly has potential.

An auto builder who can paint figures. They all fit their rides to boot. Well done.

It was a great car with legs for days. It just keeps accelerating.

I had one of these in the early 90s that I inherited. Got T-boned in it and that was that in 96. I raced my brother in the Baltimore tunnel once against his Acura Integra with VTec and smoked em. Lots of good memories.

There are plenty of files in .stl on cgtrader.com that should fit the bill. I have not tried any of them myself but they look rather good. Do a search with you favorite drag racing terms and you should find what you seek. Hope this helps.

Great build of a kit sorely needing a reish. When was the last time? Decades at this point.

This one is a very large bummer. I have been a lifelong fan of JB. I will be listening to a lot this weekend and I have a couple of live shows on DVD. Got to see him twice and both time were just fantastic. Such a legend and I am certain the tributes will be pouring in. Recommended listening? Blow by Blow and Guitar Shop

My Class of 2022. . . . . . . I completed 7 for the year.

All beautiful builds. A good year indeed. -
A lot of work you put into this one. It was worth it. It looks perfect. I have built MANY of these AMT/MPC SW kits with varying results. The Bandai license was a Godsend to SW builders as their kits are so superior. Almost too many parts in some cases. But they do build up rather nicely. May the Force be with you.

They all look great. I have the red and blue ones. Perhaps one day I will build them.

Looks like a winner. No seriously...there is a trophy on the roof so I assume it won...

Zenithal priming is a cool idea. I myself have had mixed results with it. It truly depends on how strong the layers you put over it are. For miniatures it works well. I have mostly given up on it and have gone to tinting my primers. Particularly on miniatures. All these minis I am showing here have a Zenithal prime. As to how well it helped is debatable.

I just came back to auto building after a 2 year hiatus. I got into miniatures and 40K and that entire world. So I know the path you are on in a lot of ways. I consumed Youtube vids about mini painting and techniques for months. I purchased what can be described as a mountain of paints and all the required tools of mini painting so I would be armed with all I needed. It's really a completely different discipline. Armor and military is similar in this regard. Any advice I might offer would be watch plenty of how to's on Youtube and be ready to make some mistakes. Oh, have fun too. It looks to me like you already are.

Getting ready to shoot some Tamiya semi clear on the tins. Rider figure is coming along rather slowly. You have to freehand the entire scheme. I used a pencil to rough it out but with all the folds I think a steady hand is my only option.

Here ya go. I have not started mine. I inventoried it when I received it as MFH instructs you to do. If something is missing when you get you kit while it is in production your parts are available, whereas if it is out of production you may be waiting a while for replacements. Here is an image from the web. Built in white.

Superbly crafted and styled.
