That's a sharp looking build, and I appreciate your comments about your experience. I have this in my stash and debated on unloading it; but after seeing your build ... I think I need to build mine!

So why is it that Round2's decals - when they have decals that should be "handed", they are not? The kicking bronco in this kit. The US Mail logo in the Pinto kit. etc, etc. But, nice to see what's in the box

As usual, too many projects going on; but had to get started on this International Harvester Scout II. Tamiya lacquers - TS-41 Coral Blue for the body -
I know Kernersville! I have family in the (greater) area. A friend of mine from my college days was from Kernersville. And yes - it's hard to compete against the gadgets ....

You've got some beautiful work there! And I get it - I've done the same in the past. Sold a few (or many) kits to either focus on something else or to finance some other project. But, in my experience at least, I find that often I try to replace the kits that I sold with the same or a similar kit down the road! I keep coming back to my favorite hobby - even after numerous home improvement projects, tinkering on the old car, etc., etc. I do wish my kiddo would take up the hobby, but so far she's not too interested. Maybe one day.

Oh, you're not the only one who starts one and then starts another Looks like you're off to a good start on these.

I had to look at these again - That Yellow Pages car! Wow! -
1/24 Cobra 289 FIA / USRRC wheels

I just received mine, and WOW! Amazing detail! I agree with the above - although I'll use these with the AMT 1/25 kit. Is it possible to size them for the Revell/Monogram 1/24 kit also? I'd pick up a couple more sets in that case. Again - amazing detail. And pretty fast shipping for half way 'round the world. HIGHLY recommended -
Does anyone make a quality four door '57 Chevy Bel Air?

Another Monogram Shelby Cobra. This is from the 2004 "A" Production Champions boxing, and the tooling is starting to show its age a little around the headlights, tops of fenders, etc. Changes I made included: Using photoetched hood pins to replace the ones I lost (these don't match the hood latch downs that the kit normally includes) Seatbelts, with non-race buckles because that's what I had on-hand Right Hand Drive conversion (well, mostly - I didn't do anything underneath to properly reflect right hand steering) Tamiya Pearl White over Tamiya White Primer, followed by decanted Tamiya Pearl Cleal mixed with a tiny bit of mica green/blue. Tamiya Clear over that. All metal finishes are Alclad II, except the headlights are the kit chrome. Thanks for looking!

So cool. I remember when this was in the car magazines. Nicely done.

39 Chevy Delivery - WIP
Jonathan replied to KWT's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Really sharp looking - I'm glad to see the tooling for this kit has held up over the years. That Nato Black is one of my favorites for general chassis work. -

Jonathan replied to jjsipes's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
That looks great. Isn't the PS line of Tamiya paints designed for their R/C bodies? I really like the color - do you have to clear or anything? -

Jonathan replied to Rattlecan Dan's topic in NASCAR
Nice build! Here is my only completed 3. Monogram kit, Japanese race. I'd like to build this one again. -
