    Greetings fellas, it’s been a while not completing one so I am just happy this is done just in time for the show next week. This is a Tamiya kit with a ZoomOn Wide Body Kit. It was a bit challenging using it but with a little TLC I got it done. The color is Liquid Blue, two part base coat and a 2K clear to top it off, both from Splash. Tires and wheels are included with the Widebody kit. Hope you guys like it…..

    Thank you guys, this thing doesn't even have an engine installed because it was built for just this very purpose. Had a lot of fun putting this one together, always glad that I can be of help.....

    Okay guys, many of you know how crazy these models can be so, here it is. Paint is Tamiya Racing White, there are three coats in all and they were wetsanded and polished carefully. There was no need for a clear coat because it was never used on these cars. I decided to go hubcapless because I love the details of the rims though I did order some nut and stud pins from RB Motion to simulate the lug nuts. I also used button head cap screws from RB Motion for the uptop. I included knobs for the dash from Detail Master and added a few toggle switches from top studio. Model Car Garage key ring and keys were also added. I also added carpeting for the floor. There are other little personal touches but all in all, it is basically a box stock build. With a lot of patience, these kits really turn out great, hope you guys like it....

    Thank you, didn't find any issues with this but do make sure to follow instructions carefully when installing the headlight covers, they mount in a special angle. I've seen a few of these built and those lenses are not correctly put in place.....

    Okay guys, let's call this baby done. Tamiya Aston Martin DBS. I've had this kit for quite a while so it was time to build it. I had a Photo-Etch detail set for it but only used several parts from it. Paint is Factory basecoat Bridgewater Brown from Splash Paints with a Pro-Scale 2K Clear massaged to perfection. Interior tan color is also from Splash Paints. I forgot to add a license plate in the back so I shot two more images inside the house that show what I ended up using. Wish I would've purchased at least two more of these kits when they were available a few years back, hopefully Tamiya releases them again because they truly are gorgeous kits.....

    Thank you, I like using Alclad Antique Gold and after that's dry, I black wash the whole thing and add a tad of Rub N Buff Silver Leaf around it....

    You are welcome Tim, personally, I thought I would see a new tool such as the recent new releases of the Charger and Bronco kits but I still find it to be pretty interesting…..
