I will be building one for a club member soon, I absolutely love the kit so far, looks very cool. I have only prepped the body for paint but after looking at the parts and other things in the box, I was pretty impressed with how cool I think it will turn out!

The chassis is done also.... Hosted on Fotki

I personally hate the metallic paints from the Lacquer line of Testor's, I think the metallics are way out of scale and unless you are doing some sort of lowrider type of build or something, at least for this subject is wrong. What can I say, my friend wants it like this, who am I to argue.... Anyway, I painted, polished and BMF'ed this thing over the weekend and if you hate using BMF, this certainly will not be the model for you..... These are the paints and color..... Hosted on Fotki These are the results. I must say that once I shot the clear, the intensity of the flakes diminished a bit...

Very cool John, always amazed at your work man!!!

I also think that the subscription is the best way to go my friend, no doubt about that but some people need choices. The magazine is for the July issue. Thanks guys!

Okay guys, I think it would be cool to post the Barnes and Noble stores in which you have seen the magazine being sold. It will not only help Gregg have an idea how it's actually circulating among the stores but I think it will also help some people with locations and availability. So far, at least here in Maryland, I have seen them in the following places: 1- Barnes and Noble White Marsh store. 2- Barnes and Noble Bel Air store. 3- Barnes and Noble Towson Store. I must admit that I didn't get to see it at the Bel Air store but upon asking one of the store workers, she told me they were sold out. There was only one copy at each of the other stores. Thanks!

Thanks my friend. I used Model Master gold from the small bottles. At the onset, the paint turned out a little too metallic looking because of the heavy flakes in the paint so I decided to shoot some Testor's dull coat on it. By doing this, it got rid of the heavy metallics in the paint. After this, I shot a coat of clear and then finished off with the washes.

Thanks guys and yes, the stand is from one of the Fujimi Porsche kits. Hosted on Fotki The spark plugs are actually bent pieces of hypodermic needles.

Thank you. I use the line of shades by Citadel from the Games Workshop stores.

The engine is already plumbed and wired and ready to be attached to the chassis soon.... Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Hey guys, I am putting this baby together for a friend. So far, the body is prepped for paint after eliminating some nasty mold lines and the engine is pretty much complete. I will be painting the car black and maroon as per my friend's request. Once I get the paint, I will continue updating.......

Well, I was considering the purchase of an I-pad these days, this might just seal the deal!!

Very cool, those Tamiya VW's are gorgeous. How did you go about working w/ the black lines around the fenders? A lot of people forget this little issue.

Really impressive work John, as usual!!

Wow man! How did you get those leaves to look so cool and in scale???

Blasphemous but cool.....
