  1. Probably been discussed a few times ... I currently have a couple of Badger 150 dual action airbrushes that I've used for years. Actually, I think they are the only brand/type of airbrushes I've used over the last 35 or more years. Anyway ... was considering giving myself a little Christmas present. What are your recommendations for airbrushes? Only caveats are dual-action and not crazy expensive.
  2. That's some serious surgery there! I'll be watching to see where you go - looks cool!
  3. I should have thought of that! But .... I'd already cleaned up these Rally Wheels. They could be from a Corvette kit, I'm not sure. They're from an AMT kit, but I don't know which one - they were a PIF from the Spotlight Hobbies message board some time back. Quick mockup. Pardon the clutter ...
  4. Decisions .... I'm leaning with the Ralley Wheels, as opposed to the AMT S10/Sonoma wheels ...
  5. Wow! This is a super cool build. And all of those 30's vehicles with fender skirts - I want to build them all! (But your skill is a whole 'nother level above mine).
  6. Coat of gloss, polished. Looks better. I think. In the 2nd and 3rd pics, you can see where I dropped the cab. It bounced behind my bench and now I have a little dust/scratches to deal with. sigh....
  7. That looks really sharp! Very nice work!
  8. This is very true. Can the included 4x4 parts - transfer case, etc. be used to make a 4x4 S10, as opposed to an All-Wheel-Drive (fictional) S-10?
  9. Son of a Gun - that looks nice!
  10. Thanks. I hope the Dull Red looks less ... hmmm ... poo with a coat of gloss ... I might should have used a brighter red.
  11. I think this is from the Waverider release, but maybe it is from the later 3-n-1 release. I have several of the earlier issues of the Monogram Chevrolet S10, all stored in one box. I don't recall exactly how or where I acquired them. My original goal was to build an extended cab to replicate my Dad's 1988 4.3. Hopefully, I can do that one day. Anyway, rooting through the box, I've started putting one together. Here is the kit so far - body painted two-tone red/silver - it'll be covered in a gloss clear closer to final assembly - hopefully Tamiya Dull Red will shine up with some gloss. Interior is done - box stock, with the exception of some flocking added to represent carpet. Show here just kind of tacked together. Tamiya paints and washes throughout. Please excuse my high quality phone pictures ...
  12. I suppose the Syclone was really just an all wheel drive S-10.
  13. That color really suits the truck. Nice build!
  14. Wow! This looks like fun!
  15. That turned out really sharp!
  16. Nice! One of my favorite schemes! What paint did you use?
  17. Anybody know who made this early S10 grille (grill)?
  18. I think I may have this piece. Years ago, I picked up an early S-10 grill off of eBay - maybe part of some package deal. It has some pinholes, but I think it's passable. Lemme see if I can dig it up.
  19. The is the most beautiful build I've seen lately. Just perfect.
  20. I see them all over Durham and Raleigh ... except you said not beat to death, so there's that .... I'd love to find one in good shape, as well.
  21. Cool. Be nice to see the possibilities. You still see a lot of these on the roads around here.
  22. Woot! Maybe some other S-10 parts? The aforementioned Baja, proper skits for the Cameo edition, a proper extended cab ...
  23. Anybody picked up the reissued S-10 yet?
  24. That looks great! Still, I'm glad the Beretta and the Probe didn't completely replace the Camaro and the Mustang.
