this is awesome. i drive by a rusting 240 every day as i go to work. the guy used to have a tarp over it but i knew what was under it because i am a fan and have had a few rusty z cars in my life. the tarp is gone and it tounts me. i have stoped by to talk to the guy a few times but he thinks it is made of gold. so i just ride by and wish

made some tein coilovers today out of sorder 1/8 styrene tube, some small lock washers, and some small springs i came across years ago. this is how they turned out. just kidding. i wish this is more like my work. i only spent 30 min on them. i will do better next time. great thing is i have less than 25 cent US. money

i have learned that the stack keeps getting taller and the time goes quicker

A++++ for helping out on the very hard art of rusting a model. that is about as hard of a trick there is. it is easy to make it shine. but rust takes time.

i added some strip evergreen to the sides of the hood to close the gap from where i gouged out the hood. a little more work is needed on the bottom of the hood. my first attempt at adding hood hinges. way harder than expected. because of the way the hood opens i had to use tube so it could slide up to make the clearance needed to open. this is about as far as it will open on display. i will clean up the messy area as soon as the glue sets up.

congradulations niteowl. i hope he grows up to be a male modler. martinfan. i want to add an engine to that baby and Pe part set. may even scratch a paddock area display. lets just say that all my kits just got queued down a notch.

just won and paid for this baby on ebay. cant wait to get it in the mail. i need a engine to go in it now.

jb. i use the styrene rod because i HATE ca glue. i cant get metal or pe parts to work. i never get good results but always glue my fingers to something and make a huge mess that is hard to clean up. i am howevere good at cleaning up tamiya extra thin glue. a hair dryer works well to warm the rod so it wont break. open flame is bad becaue the glue would be a bomb

greAt attention to detail. keep it going

the kit wheels are boss. got the dash done and the engine is ready for paint. cant wait to get my turbos in from model miester. the are soon to be the hold up seats trimmed out with bmf.

mr k. would be proud

you are supposed to put it together. not take it apart. just kidding. cut away. cant wait to see more

that thing is gone pop a wheely when the wheels hit the groundy

nice clean build

you guys think i should stay with the kit decals or use some calsonic Decals like this one i did a year or so ago.

made a front air cover started in on the radiator support area rad support with a strip added to the fire wall. made some more interior covers for the tunnel. kit bashed a master clyender and added some break and fule lines to a bland engine bay bottom of the car with lines made of evergreen rod

i spent about an hour making this interior cover to go in the hatch area. i did not notice a tub goes over that area. duhhhhhhhhhhhhh. so i made another one for the right area. the first one was just for practice got the hood thing scratched out and installed

those flamming ferraris give me an idea for a build. just because a few of them caught fire does not mean they are junk. 116 octain gas tends to burn if there is a spark. no telling how many of them were insurance fires

one time i bought a magazine and looked at pictures of models. that was cool.

have we over looked the pontiac gran am. those things were junk. you dont see any of them on the road. not even the late model ones have we over looked the pontiac gran am. those things were junk. you dont see any of them on the road. not even the late model ones

what is the kit number for this car. i am gonna get this kit but dont want to end up with the wrong one.

even toyota fanboys will tell you that v6 was trash. even toyota fanboys will tell you that v6 was trash.

94 4 runner 6 cly 4x4. 16 mpg. blown head gasket at 120k. 1500 to fix. 75 a month to maintain. tried to talk the guy out of buying it off me because i wanted to sleep at night. ended up talking my price down so i would feel better. never own a toy again.

mannnn. you are getting close. finishing it, that will stink. i wont have this to look at when i pick up my phone. promise you will build something after this one.
