  1. Nice! I like the paint and stripes you made!
  2. I mix washer fluid and water 50/50 and then add a few drops of glycerin, then use that thinner 50/50 with the paint, results are great
  3. I'm not a fan of the new kits say the 2003 and up kits that were issued, but anything older I love! If none of you guys want you're nascars send them my way lol there are a ton of aftermarket decals available for some sweet builds
  4. its all rigged, probably some Mob ties that made that outcome, the Pack were unstoppable all game and then all of sudden they can do nothing.. ya right what about the gold cleats? the nfl said he would be ejected if he wore those what happened to that?
  5. Very cool build you have going! Nice work
  6. Thanks, grease is easy to make, just use black artist oil straight from the tube, do it last though as a thick layer takes a bit to dry! Paint color is duplicolor cordova brown met. # CBGM0544
  7. hey guys, i finished this a few months back, don't think I posted it here. revell "snap" kit, pretty fun build
  8. Thanks!, most all my weathering is done with artist oils, This was a mix of washes and feathering out the oil paint. And oil paint dry brushing on the hoses/wires, I start by clearcoating my painted parts, then just cover the part in black oil paint unthinned, then wipe off most of it, what's left gets blended around with a soft brush, Each layer sealed with duplicolor clearcoat then when done with it I spray dullcote. Washes are added last, Also in some places I brushed on some future to make it glossy like wet oil leaking, also when the future is still wet I applied some black pastel dust on it to add some gunk to the oil leaks
  9. Great start! Nice looking paint job!
  10. Thanks, yes they are 1/48 decals from an FW-190 Luftwaffe airplane
  11. thanks guys, I just wrap the wire around the appropriate size drill bit so its a snug fit, wrap a few times so you get a "spring" then place on a metal ruler and cut with a knife so you get a bunch of rings, straighten them back round with pliers or tweezers, then just run super glue along the edges. when dry give it a light sanding to clean it up some bench time today so i got the engine wired up, even added lettering on the plug wires.( Luftwaffe decals! lol ) I weathered it but not to junker status ! lol also no point to detail the carb since the air cleaner is going to live on top
  12. Nice build!
  13. good old Revell Z16 kit. new issue with big wheels,.I'll be making it a stock version here is a bit of work to the engine so far. I added poor mans pulleys just using some wire to wrap the edges, dipstick tube and the normal drilling of the distributor etc going by ref. pictures I found on google.I made the alternator bracket which also has the little bracket to attach the throttle spring to. and I wanted to add some dirt and grime, so I made a leaky valve cover
  14. thanks!, backdrop just a big piece of paper on my desk, no clue on camera settings other than its in flower mode, i just point and shoot.I use a pretty old fujifilm A850 btw you live pretty close by, been to niagara central hobbies lately? prices getting crazy 8 bucks for a micro sol bottle lol used to be 3.95 wtf !
  15. The 68 or 69 charger kit has the horn that can work on this car
  16. Nice work on all ! Can't wait to see this years work from your bench!
  17. thanks guys!, this is the stock ride height no need for messing with it on this kit
  18. Thanks! I Used bondo spot putty mixed with liquid cement to texture the roof
  19. Thanks! The wire is the little strands of wire from inside a larger wire, they measure .005 inch
  20. here is my first build of 2015. revell 1/24 scale kit. I just made it curbside as a quick build, I didn't get much done last year so I plan to do a lot more box stock and curbside stuff this year!
