This is a quick project for a club member that I wanted to share with you guys. It is based on the Monogram kit. Hosted on Fotki Thinking about doing something like this...... Hosted on Fotki Pretty much out of the box, nothing special..... Hosted on Fotki Kit is not that bad, I just had to add a bit of plastic on the sides of the hood and straighten the body out a bit, it was a bit warped.... Hosted on Fotki

Very cool and interesting model Harry, definitely a muscle car in that era!

Yes Tom, as James explained, it would be a bit much work, not impossible but tedious. I did like the fact that the kit brings this part molded in.

Looks great in that color!

Yes, the tires are part of the kit.

Thanks fellas, tailgate is BMF.....

Very cool!!!!

Thought I had to start a topic with that title. Anyway, here goes another review model which I don't think I ever shared here but I think it's safe to do now. Paint is Testor's Lacquer Fiery Orange. Don't like to use these metallic lacquer's much because I think the metallics are way out of scale so what I did was, after shooting the color and making sure it was dry, I shot a few coats of Testor's Dull Coat to kinda difuse the metallics a bit and tone them down. After this I finished up with Testor's Wet Look Clear. As many of you know, this is a curbside kit but it does look quite good after completion. What do you fellow glue sniffers think?

Just another simple review model of the Aoshima Subaru STi. Model is curbside. Paint is simply Testor's Artic Blue enamel, slightly wetsanded, polished and waxed. Thought it was a very cool model when completed, absolutely fell in love with the lines of this thing. I was also surprised at how well detailed the chassis is. By using various metallic colors, I was able to create a little contrast and make it really pop!!! Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Thanks guys and yes, it's a curbside....

Skip,it's a scale plastic model, not the real thing, again guys, it's just for fun.....get it???

Wheels are 1/32 scale slot car.....

I know my friend, I will be modifying it a bit, it's just for fun......

You go bro!!!

Patrick, the wheels are the only reason I am putting this one together...

No Rally version, just street type little tuner.....

Thanks guys. The paint is Tiger Gold from Rainbow Products. Sorry, these lacquer paints are not available any more.....

Okay guys, though I find myself in the middle of a current project, I would like your input on this. It's for my future Tamiya Mini Cooper build. I have taken a little moment this morning to shoot a few coats of paint on plastic spoons, I just want to have an idea how these colors look on a surface instead of inside of the bottle. Notice that I have shot the images outside under a shadow and also under direct sunlight, I want you to see the true colors of the hues chosen. I also placed the rims I will be using right between the colors, don't know if it will help on the final decision but it's worth a shot. These are 1/32 scale metal with P/E centers and they look great, they are the ones used for slot cars but I thought they would work perfect on this car. I will be posting this info here and on the various FB model car groups and later I will tally all the scores to finally decide on the color, I want to make this fun but I also want to have the perfect color on this thing. Keep in mind that the top will be white, perhaps even Pearl White depending on the final choice of color. Also, there are only two coats of paint on each spoon, I am sure I will probably finish applying at least four coats for complete coverage but this gives me a good starting idea. I think the clear will also help put everything together at the end but for now, this is what I have. This is our project so please, let me know which color you think I should use for this thing!
