  1. Hi Everybody. Here is the next phase... the face. And some more fine tuning on the detail painting. Speaking of fine tuning, I'm finally getting the lighting dialed in. I went from two 100 Watt LED lamps in reflectors to two 40 watt LED lamps. I think the color is much better. It seems that regarding light, less is more. As always, thanks for looking and please feel free to comment. David G.
  2. Great work blending those bodies! I was thinking about this build the other day and was wondering if you finished it and I somehow missed it. I guess this answers that question. Glad to see it back on the boards. Congrats on the new bike too! David G.

  15. Hello All! This from the "There's always something" department: Once I securely glued the chassis together, I discovered that these two frame members were not quite long enough to remain in their provided slots. This snap kit, like others I've worked on has a "float factor" built into the parts fit. Sorry for the crummy cell phone pics but this was "bench time" photography and setting up my little desktop studio just wasn't practical. My solution is to cut a couple thin pieces of styrene to extend the frame members so they are kept in place within the slots. Here they are glued in place on top of the frame members and slotted in. After some trimming, sanding and painting they look almost as good as new. Well, they're a little rough but all of the repairs will be hidden beneath the body after assembly. I'm still working on prepping and polishing the body but that's all for now. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.
  16. That's a nicely rendered figure but obviously not Mel G. Not that that matters, just preconceived notions. You know. David G.
  17. Very convincing! Years ago I did a similar with my 50 Chevy. David G.
  18. Mind blowing detail work on this! Thanks for taking the time to share it. David G.
  19. Great color choice for the convertible, nicely detailed. Nice work on the police cruiser. David G.
  20. Nice work! Great detail painting. David G.
  21. Thank you Joe. I didn't know there was a Mad Max figure, I'll have to keep an eye out for that one. David G.
  22. Okay, I got some shadow and highlight painted. I know that the coat is still glossy, Dulcote will be one of the last things apply. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post any comments, tips or advise. Thanks, David G.
  23. This would work for sprayed-in bed liners. David G.
