Thank you Steve, Cliff, and Sam!

Thank you Anders and Jim!

I have finished the interior. Normally, I would have painted the coil over shocks with Alclad II Chrome, but these are the only two items I have to be chromed. Instead, I used my Molotow 2 mm Liquid Chrome pen on the rear coil over shocks. I was going to paint the mufflers red and call them Cherry Bomb mufflers, but a Hemi would need a quieter muffler and I painted them the same as the pipes. More to come...

Take your time with it! Just remember that this kit is not 100% a Lil Red Express Truck if that is what you want to build. I would like to see what you can make of this kit.

I got mine at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon. It's self healing, has 1 inch squares for measuring, although some of mine have been worn off from usage and chemicals.

Thank you Carl!

Thank you guys! I find that if I leave some of my parts on the sprues, it is easier to prep and paint them tan to remove them. I can't be bothered to remove all my parts from the sprues, prep them, remount them on something, and then paint them. To me, this just makes for more work. After removing the parts from the sprue, I touch them up with a fine detailing brush and a little paint.

Here's mine without any metal axles!

Thank you Marty!

Sounds like a nice project, Mike! I'm back on the '32 5 Window Coupe for today. Cranked up the paintbooth and painted the rear axle, drive shaft and steering box and shaft with Alclad II Gloss Black and then with Alclad II Chrome. I started work on the frame. I added a fuel line from the tank to the frame where it won't be seen. I also added the transmission cross member and noticed all the spots not covered by paint. Out came a touchup brush and some Lime Ice Lacquer. I got started on the interior with some assembly. I need to finish the dash and install that into the interior. More to come...

So far the morning, I have remounted the side steps and added the stacks. The side view mirrors have been reworked. I made a couple of mounting plates and mounted the mirrors sideways to better replicate a stock mirror. I removed the battery so I can try to fit new air tubes from the core support up to the air cleaner. I reattached the tailgate and repainted the taillights including adding blue dots to the taillight centers. More to come...

Thank you Christopher and Ray!

This is my Ram VTS Pickup that I pulled off the shelf for a cleanup and quick rebuild. It is painted with Tamiya TS-50 Mica Blue. The wheels are from the Maisto BMW Z-8 and looks a lot better than the kit wheels. I spent almost an hour on the grille and front bumper and I still don't like the appearance.

Thank you everyone! There is something I like about some of these "big boats". Imagine cruising along in a Hemi powered land barge like this...

I built this LRE about 10-12 years ago. It needed and good cleaning and a rebuild. I spent some time working on the grille of this truck and I'm not 100% happy with it. I found these air tubes in my parts box. I'll see if I can make them work... More to come...

I have finished my Lotus Seven Series II and it is posted in Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who have taken the time to view and to comment on my WIP. The end credits... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ9AqRAwgK4

This is my rebuilt Lotus Seven Series II aka KAR 120C or No. 6's car from The Prisoner TV series. It was painted with Tamiya X-5 Green with a Model Master Insignia Red interior, wired engine and built Out-Of-Box.

Great job on the Nova, Bill!

Thank you Steve! I finished the Lotus last night, but I haven't had time to take any pictures today since I've been carting the wife and her sisters to and from the hospital where one sister has been hospitalized. I'll get around to it soon...

After cleanups and touchups, the Lotus is going back together. I painted the wheels gloss aluminium since the wheels on KAR 120C are not white like I thought they were. I had originally painted the steering wheel spokes aluminium, but now they are chrome thanks to my Molotow Liquid Chrome 1 mm pen. More to come...

Looks great Randy!

The last time I saw one a Lotus Seven, it needed an engine rebuild. It sat there idling and blowing blue smoke out of the pipe. It also looked like it was just pulled from a barn...

This is a Lotus Seven Series II also known as KAR 120C or No. 6's car from the TV series The Prisoner starring the late Patrick McGoohan. I built this one many years ago. It is one of my favorite models and one that needs a little TLC. I started to dismantle the car a bit this morning to clean and to repaint some of the parts used in this build.

Thank you guys! The '57 300C is a great looking car, even today!

Thank you Ron!
