Not a huge update, but the '53 now has side mirrors, courtesy of a Moebius F100.

Looks very good from where I sit. Don't think I've ever seen that kit before. And yes, the Sunny looks fantastic with it.

Let me look through my stash and see if I find something that'll work

Nice! I don't think that old Monogram kit has ever looked so good.

I don't see the need for that. Anyone want to weigh in on including a list?

As someone who just recently built the sushi truck version, nicely done ?

I actually had the thought while building this of doing a Kenmeri Skyline in that style. Like "what if Mad Max were a Japanese movie".

Nicely done! One of these days I want to make an interior for that camper. Looks like Round 2 missed recreating the taillight bezels that have been missing from the last few reissues.

This might be a box stock Aoshima kit. (I may or may not have borrowed the wheels from another kit.) Paint is Tamiya Park Green distressed with Acrylic Vallejo paint. Note the rust on non-ferrous surfaces like the flares and spoilers. I was going for a kind of classic JDM tuner meets post apocalypse look.

I think you're obligated now. I want the completed model on my desk on the eleventyfifth no later than 4 o'clock.

Box stock Academy kit that's a pleasure to build. Don't know why I slept on this kit for so long. Since the kit includes different mirrors and bumpers, I "mismatched" those to indicate collision damage repaired with salvage parts. The primed fender missing it's side marker lamp emphasizes it. Otherwise it's scummed up with Tamiya and Vallejo paints.

Nope

Didn't even know this was coming back out. But it has a modified Pontiac OHC inline six for power so I might drag this (or at least the engine) into the project.

Love it! I often use pickups to hold parts for other projects too. ? This is the one version of this kit I wish they'd reissue.

T Bird wires look pretty good on it. You probably already noticed but the fit of that grille panel is a little sketchy.

This is the Aoshima Suzuki Carry sushi truck, slammed together out of the box and heavily weathered. My aim was to make the most disgusting looking food truck possible. I think I hit the target. ?

Box stock Tamiya kit. I bought it as a started kit from a buddy, some subassemblies taken care of, and the body was painted pink with Vallejo acrylics. I kept the pink but distressed it (with some of my own Vallejo acrylics) just for kicks. It was a quick, fun project and served as a "dry run" for another GT-R project I have in mind. The few in progress pics I took can be seen in "The Straight Six Community Build Rides Again" thread in the Community Builds section.

Might have the Skyline wrapped up later today. Then I'll be switching back to the Plymouth for a bit.

Also hand drew some door art.

Got a little done on the '53 F100 tonight Just a shot of the Lightning engine and tenth gen radiator in place. The grille is a '56, swiped from a Revell Foose pickup. Last week I got some second hand kits, among them was a bunch of 1:35 scale diorama stuff, including some birds. One of those birds was sprayed silver and used as a hood ornament.

Since many of the subassemblies were already done, I can focus on paint. Basic chassis is more or less finished.

Last week I bought a bunch of kits from a buddy who had lost interest. One of them was a Tamiya Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R Hardtop. Assembly had been started and it wore a shade of matte pink paint. I decided to distress it with some Vallejo paints and washes. Being straight six powered, might as well drag it into the melee here.

Awfully paranoid for a guy who talks to his voice command Tesla, aren't you?

Go for it!

Starting with this... Plymouth 201 L-head from the AMT '41 Plymouth. It'll have a finned head from The Parts Box, and most likely a few other external speed parts. It might even stay in a '41 Plymouth. We'll see.
