That is really cool, love the like of the half round, never gave that a thought but will be adding that for sure, looks so much better thank you for sharing with me will give it a really good look.

already showed this idea, but set on attaching them to the doors and adding lettering probably with dry transfer or decal the name egyptian over the top of scarab design and raider under neath of it.....

Thank you Gator, slow but sure still been messing around with this one... will be working from now until halloween straight thru at work so may not update much till then but will try to get an hour here and there on it...

Also getting rid of any raised detail and either will scribe new lines or use strip styrene...

Have been working on just cleaning up parts and working on the engine, needing to find some reference on how the fuel rail looks on the real engine, but plugging away at this one...one thing I am changing on the engine is the stacks for the carbs are horrid to work with to get them to look good after removing from the sprue so decided to use these metal do dads from the rc end of the hobby shop for stacks..... and getting the fruit box cleaned up and ready to add shelving to it.... moving slow but steady on this one!

I really like how the watermelons came out will have to try that....

Was just at Barnes and noble and found this an amazing artist that paints complete murals on die cast. Totally incredible.

a better pic...

an idea I have for the dashboard, a little embellishment....

I like where this one is headed can not wait to see more..............

thanks guys, I feel better now, I will for sure keep them in the amt plastic display cases then keep them in some cupboards that I have in the garage to keep them out of light, this helps a great deal thank you for the quick response. You can not get any harsher than Arizona, that is pretty hot there, we do not see anything as hot as Phoenix here in New Mexico so I should be golden!!!

I know it has been discussed on here many many times about heat and store model kits in the box, but my question is how model cars and trucks that are built and stored in a hot garage over the summer and freezing cold during the winter. The reason for my question is that I have to sell my display case and store all my built models in the garage and where I live can get to 110 in the summer and freezing in the winter, is there any adverse effects on the built models from those temp ranges, I will have them in the smaller amt plastic display cases but no longer will they be in a constant 70 degree atmosphere.

wow it looks better than alclad2!

actually that would be cool a lot of tedious work but would be cool. may have to do some more thinking on that and thinking of adding more of these skulls to other parts of the build.

Gator, i tried to find some really cool gems but in that size everything was way to big , decided to give the nail tech gems a try and even those were way to big, I did find these cool pink do dads i can paint them another color they fit the eyeball perfectly the shiny gem over the right eye (in the bottom pic) is the next size up but seems way to big.....

thank you Carl, I have some more ideas that have come to mind for the bed and hydros but really slammed at work now been working 7 days a week and rest is all I can really think of right now so hope to get more posted soon.....

Thank you.

Gator, that would be a nice touch, have not thought about it but this gives me some new ideas. thank you very much for the idea...

Decided to carry the pyramid theme over to the shifter and a knew knob.... also thinking of a scarab type shield for the doors, kinda like the symbol for a tomb raider!!!

Thank you Gator, it has been a long time coming for color that is for sure...

tried some different color combos have a lot of little pieces to color and need to get a game plan on to finish them.

Ill have to give that a try that would be trick with no rod, thanks will give it a try...

my first installed prop for the hood...

thank you gator

gearshift and knob... final layout for radiator supports... Not the final piece but just getting idea of color layout...
