I don't see how you can have issues in FB, I belong to both FB groups and this wonderful forum and have never had issues with neither. There is talent on both sides of the spectrum so that shouldn't even be an argument. I truly don't see a difference between both but hey, to each his own, gotta respect opinions.....

This was very sudden, surprised a lot of people.......

I know I will miss it.....

Tamiya tape and a lot of burnishing. Paint was airbrushed in light coats until getting complete coverage. Clear was added later.....

Very cool!!!

Yes, one of the main reasons being that a lot of us are already screaming for a factory stock type version.

Wanted to do something a little different than the norm, just hoping that at some point, Tamiya offers a Factory Stock version, preferably a Shelby GT 500. Paint is Tamiya Metallic Blue, Tamiya Pure White for the stripes and Testors Wet Look Clear. This kit is so well engineered that it might just go together if you shake the box just right. Hope you guys like it.....

This was more of an experiment to test the Color Shot Paints sold at The Home Depot. They have a pretty good selection of colors so take some time off and check them out. Can't promise they will be available at every Home Depot but I am positive that you will be able to acquire them on line. These are durable paints including the primer so go ahead and use them, I think you will like them. I used Testors Wet Look Clear but I am positive that they will work with the clear of your choice. As usual, make sure your foundation is clean and that you address any issues on the bare plastic first, 90% of the problems with some finishes are found there.....

Thank you guys, I truly enjoyed this build, Joseph’s resin conversion and upgrade kit is really phenomenal and gives this truck a very realistic look...

That is Testors flat black with just a tad of clear added to it....

Yes, it's actually a decal supplied in the kit. Should've left it off but the real ones did have the defroster lines at the rear.....

Thank you Sam, yes, the hood was slightly warped but I had two other kits in which the hoods were fine and I used one of them.

Thank you, I had to buy this kit to be able to complete this build as close as possible to the one in the movie. Front clip is from the newly tooled 1969 Mustang 302. All the info is in the article.....

Thanks, it's 1/25.....

Thank you guys!!

I added big and littles to this one just as the real one. If you use the tires in the kit, it will not be correct.

Built this completely box stock for a specific project that I can't say much about. I promise I will update you guys later. Color is Limelight mixed by MCW with Testors Wet Look, wet sanded, compounded, polished and waxed. Still hate the fact that this body is still way off when it comes to design but it does look pretty good when done.

As featured on the current issue of SA......

Used the F-250 Conversion and Upgrade kit from Fireball Modelworks on this one. Also installed a Farm Jack on the sratchbuilt tool box. Farm Jack as well as cab roof lights are also from Fireball. Model Car Garage Moebius Pickup P/E Detail Set for the emblems. Paint is Tamiya without clear. Fun build!

Thank you guys, I wanted to sort of recreate a JDM type of car and do something a little different. That's the reason for the choice of tires.....

Very nice bro!!!

Had a fun time building this one, really liked the way it turned out. Color is original from factory called Chamonix White mixed by MCW with no clear. I decided to go a different route with the tires and wheels. They are actually aluminum sleeves with plastic centers. The centers are from the 1979 Monogram 1/24 scale Camaro with a few modifications to open them up a bit by drilling them. Tires were sent to me by a good friend. I ordered RB Motion rivets for the flares. I also modified the stance a bit to acquire the rake you see. I decided to remove the chrome on the body trim and added Bare Metal Foil instead for a cleaner look. Be patient with the decals on this kit, these are very thin and fragile. Hope you guys like it....
