This is the kit with the white car on the box. Man that is one of the nicest builds Ive seen. Superbly clean.

Just looked at your work David. I have to say its looking great. I started a thread a long time ago on one of these. Ill have to revisit it. But until then I get to live vicariously through you within this WIP.

THe FINEST model I have ever seen in my paltry 57 years. Bravo Sir....

The chassis and interior are pretty much done. Wheels are waiting on drying rotors and calipers. Going with the kit supplied chrome wheels for a bit of bling. A few carbon accent decals and Ill be able to lay down a few clear coats. Testors Extreme lacquer dries in only a week so Ill have it all wrapped up at that point. I have a few more of these and may break another one out. They make nice contrasts to the more intense builds I saddle myself with at times.

Thanks... The decal sheet is great as I said, and it makes a difference when it came to the dash. Rosso Dino eh? I just thought the tangerine would be a great color for an exotic.

I am pretty far along on this one but a WIP seems OK. Testors Tangerine enamel with a dark grey interior. These kits are quite simple affairs with the emphasis placed on outward appearence mostly. Engines are simple as well with only about 6 or 7 main components. Detail painting is key but they do look good through the bonnet and I guess that was the goal. Excellent decal sheets with gauges and outer carbon parts well represented. Suspension is practically non existent. The plastic on these is so soft even looking at it sideways makes a mark. If you get one beware. It will make a nice shelf model when completed.

Truly digging this build Brutal. You are pulling out all the stops at every point and the details have a "just right" appearance everywhere I look. That color is going to be striking as well.

For my money those two Revell funny cars that snuck up on me were the ones. That "one use only" Chi Town car and Hawaiian have to be some of the best funny cars I have ever had the pleasure to put paint and glue to.

Ive watched a few of your videos on YT. You never dissapoint. Well done indeed.

World class build. I saw this video in my YT feed and had yet to watch it. Ill make some time.

I clicked this not knowing what to expect. So that is how Zuul from Ghostbusters is spelled. 3D printing is such a wonderful thing. Im looking at a couple of Elgoo models. The possibilities and the files that are FREE are astounding. Awesome doggie...

Thats a beauty. Id love a look at that big block Chevy... Is it me or is everyone getting seriously great around here?

These are two very nicely detailed builds with excellent craftsmanship. HP would be proud without doubt.

Dude, that is seriously tight. The level of craftsmanship here and in other threads is really at an all time high. I chose the right time to return

I was away far too long. I see that the build quality has only gotten higher and I will have to step up my game. I just went through this thread and I must say this is a stunning build in every sense. Just beautiful.

I may dig this kit out again. The sting of it being associated with my Mums stroke has certainly passed. Of course I need to figure out which box it is in. That should be a blast.

Ill give you a subscribe so I dont miss em.

Your Youtube is the one with the turtle right? I just watched your Jungle Jim build videos. I gave em thumbs up.

It is the Hawaiian, good eyes there! There arw a number of aftermarket goodies I am using. The photoetch steering wheel is an awesome piece. The starter bracket is the kit front piece with aluminum tube and wire in the center for strength. I have a custom painted body for it that ill add a pic for. Some resin fittings by a European company I forget the name of, a photoetched harness and some scratchbuilt items. The Tru-flame on the hood was created making a mask that I stole from watching a guy do it on Youtube. I just scaled the mask down to the correct scale. Custom decals by the late Ratnasty who was a member here. R.I.P. Chuck

All of them are quite nice. I paint 40k myself as well as fantasy resin pieces so I know what goes into these.

I had these kits for what seemed forever. The R-75 BMW by Esci had to have been in my stash for 2 decades. The WLA is a more recent purchase. I think I bought it when it was reissued about 10 years ago. The Beemer is currently like an as new bike other than rusty exhaust. At some point I'm going to weather it. The WLA is another matter. I weathered it with a technique I learned fron a military guy. It is madw to represent a bike bought at Army salvage by a former soldier and fixed up to be a runner. The seat is new but thebrest is as he bought it. Still not sure if I'll weather the seat. I know a great technique but I may have to remove it to make that happen. Hope you like em.

Forgot the Hays T-Bird

I have been away from here for quite a long time. My journey into miniature painting and that entire world has engulfed my hobby time almost completely. While I have enjoyed it thoroughly, I have missed my cars, bikes and all the ins and outs it takes to make something shiny. So I broke out some 1/2 done and new kits and decided to paint something that didnt have a sword or a skimpy outfit on. The 1/16 nostalgia funny car is a custom project I started 6 years ago. It is starting to take shape. The Hawaiian funny car was started in 2015, finished last week. The Matt Hays Thunderbord was started last week. The clear coat needs a buff, but the Testors magenta enamel was a dead ringer for the real thing. The Iaconio car was started a decade ago at least. I should be able to button it up soon. The Bud King is also as old. The tins were painted red and that was as far as I got. It now has a direction at least. I'll post more as I get things done. It is good to be back building cars.

Extremely well done and very convincing. The finishes, which are so important are well done. I would be proud to call it my own work.

I have an external SSD drive with 600gb of music on it. I pick a category and let it fly.
