  1. 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.....
  2. 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.....
  3. 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....
  4. Brutal mi hermano, I personally love the '63 split window, wanna see if at some point this year I can build one. Love this at this scale......
  5. Truck is completed, will share the complete story after it shows up in Finescale. At the moment, I am building the trailer. Please, no questions, can’t give details yet……
  6. 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…..
  7. Guys, I never saw the original so please feel free to comment on all the differences you find, it will help me with the review…..
  8. I will be reviewing this thing soon and will share it once it is out, for now, here are some images of what's in the box....
  9. Great builds as always mi pana.....

    Thanking God for a year full of health and the ability He gives me to have fun with my pastime. Pretty productive year!!!!
  13. Thank you Tim and as always, your input on the review you did helped greatly. You are the best!!!!!
  14. Thank you, that is Alclad Aluminum....
  15. I used Tamiya Bare Metal Silver but it was still a bit too dark so I cleared the entire hood, masked from the edge of the decals at the perimeter and shot silver again....
  16. Thank you my friend, I actually ordered Bright Blue Metallic for it which is a factory color but MCW sent me this one.....
  17. Had a lot of fun with this one fellas! Paint is MCW Finishes Lacquer Acapulco Blue, not a color used in that year for this car but it certainly looks the part. Clear is 2K by Splash Colors. Just added a few small details on the engine and interior but this is basically a box stock build. Kudos to Revell for this finely engineered kit, it is highly recommended!
  18. It's a little bit of a tedious process but the results speak for themselves......
  19. I don't use the Tamiya Panel Line wash for my panel lines, I like using the MIG washes for that, these are thinner in consistency than the Tamiya Panel Line alternative. My trick has always been to scribe very deeply and wash right on the plastic even before adding any primer. After this, I don't have to address the panel lines any longer....
  20. Used PPG Eruption Green for the color sent to me by a good friend. Wheels and tires are from Fireball Modelworks. Fun kit to build and very well engineered.
  21. Yes, had to ask permission before I used it.....😆
