As a RX-7 owner, I must say, "Oh, the humanity! Avert your eyes!" Nice work, though.

86 Monte Carlo SS box stock sorta
Jonathan replied to Wonderbread Kustomz's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I'm a big fan of that Diamond Dust color! Nice work so far! -
Tom and Sam - those are some sweet looking '63's! They are great kits. Fun for all ages, I think. I may have to pick up another.
-
I just thought I'd throw it out there as "food for thought". I think your build is off to a great start!
-
This is looking like excellent work - of course. I'd recommend against using flour. It can go rancid after a period of time. A very good, and inexpensive alternative is "embossing powder". While not as dirt-cheap as flour, it is both inexpensive and stable in that it is not an organic food product. It has a similar texture and can be painted just like your flour. That said, I think you've got a really cool project going on.

AMT S-10 "Xtreme"
Jonathan replied to Jonathan's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Yep, the wheels came w/ the kit. -
Thank you.
-
My attempt at weather with pastels. Smart or not, I don't know. But, it's done.
-
Thanks. I see these on eBay once in a while. Actually, I just sold a second one that I had. Maybe I should've kept it. The kit comes w/ a small set of racing decals, too. Lots of potential. It's very, very small compared to anything else in the display case.
-
It's been fun going through the ol' display case! Here's one I built from, well...? I forgot. Anyway, it's a little Lotus, in British Racing Green.

Okay, here's a question. I attempted to do white letter tires using acrylic paint. But, it didn't turn out as I'd hoped. So two questions: 1) How to remove the acrylic paint from the vinyl tires (or whatever mystery material Monogram tires are?) 2) Is there a good/decent set of transfers, decals, etc. for the Goodyear & Eagle markings? Note that the front tire is smaller than the rear. I think the rears could be done w/ decals from a Nascar kit, but the fronts.....I'm at a loss. thanks!
-
I love it! I had one of those - a 1990 Buick w/ the 3.1 engine, I think. It would have been a horrible cop car! Excellent work - it's really cool!
-
I (finally) finished this one late last year or early this year. It's the Revell/Monogram GMC Syclone. I suspect the fit issues you see are because of me and not a fault of the kit. Since most Syclones were black on black, I painted my silver.

AMT S-10 "Xtreme"

That's pretty cool looking! Who's going to try this one? -

@Ken - Wow, learn something new every day! What's a "Hugger"? Oh, and nice looking S-10 there. My Dad had a 1990(?) S-10 4.3 that he sold with well over 200,000 miles on it about 10 years ago. The man that bought it is still driving it, and has passed 300,000. As far as I know, no major work has been done to it, yet. @ Austin - If you're thinking of building this kit, it actually assembles pretty well! -
55 Chevy Slameo done
Jonathan replied to slammedi'am's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
That is just too cool! -
Here's one I built some time ago. It's been living in my display case (an old baker's display unit). Not everyone's cup o' tea, I know. But, I thought I'd share: Looks like I might have forgotten to add the headlights! Oops! I should do the trim around the windows, too.
-
I like the variety, too! That '32 looks very, very nice.
-
Thank you. Yes, the deck lid is a separate piece. Also, it included the up-top. Well, at least in the Pro Modeler rendition. I don't think the 1959 Revell issue, based on this kit, did include the up-top. But, I don't remember. I'll have to dig it out of the stash to verify. Anywho...I added the belts & buckles. A smattering of detail under the hood was also added, but I don't have a picture of it. Overall, I think this is one of my better builds. And, the Supreme Commander approved the color choice.
-
Stunning! Well done. Very well done!
-
The Monogram Pro-Modeler kit from some years ago. I really enjoyed this kit, and have another in the stash. I'm thinking of building it as silver with black coves to complement this one. Most of my buildups live in a display case, but dust still seems to seep in. And the camera is certainly unforgiving of mistakes that might go a little less noticed to the casual observer! But hey, I build for fun - mostly!
-
@Johann - these pop up on eBay from time to time. Usually for a pretty decent price, too. I have another in the stash to build the "long tail" version. I had considered going for a NASCAR-style futuristic (future past, maybe?) racer. We'll see.... and yeah - building is all about relaxing to me. If I get frustrated, I move on to another project. That may explain the unfinished pile that grows on the shelf over my work bench.
-
@Pappy - that's funny! He looks like he needs to go!
-
You should sell those decals! I'd be in line for a set! Very, very nice work!
