awesome work! i've never really tried to do any scratchbuilding but watching you makes me think i can do it so i think on the next build i will try to do some cause you make it look so easy. thank you for sharing this can't wait to see more.
-
awesome work man can't wait to see this one finished. your giving me ideas for some of my projects thanks.
-
awesome looking build can't wait to see it finished. you got some neat ideas keep'em comin.

wow! those yellow stripes and the yellow on the rims give it just the right amount of pop factor can't wait to see it done keep up the good work. just a thought though what about tinting the back window? i think it would really set it off and then add a nice performance decal to the bottom of the rear window. just a thought take it or leave it.

ney matt lookin good and don't feel bad about the hood mistake i once accidently painted a hood shut and had to cut it loose. can't wait to see it finished.
-
i agree the yellow stripes would look good and be different. but i also liked it the way you first had it painted. can't wait to see it finished.

is there a deadline for the JWAC? by the way great job everyone.
yes the deadline is for the pnw 2011 show on march 26th 2011 for in person entries but i don't know about for the email side of it for that you will need to ask fletch.
oh and jairus i'm glad to be a part of this. i am happy for the learning experience of doing this to advance my skills.
-
Jeez, that bar is so high I don't think I can even see it from down here....
well alan there are alot of people better than me but all i can do is just try my best and do the best i can and hope its good enough. i like seeing how good other people are it makes me strive to be better. 15 years ago i entered my first and so far only model contest with a snap fast chevy dually that i customized with mainly photoetched parts. i was happy with it and i took third place which i was surprised by. but it made me see what i need to do to get better and now that i've gotten back into the hobby that's what i'm trying to do. i may not be any where near as good as stan but i'm going to try my best and have fun with it and that's all i can do, and i just hope everybody is happy with and enjoys my efforts to try and duplicate jairus's artwork.
-
your right dave you have to give credit where credit is due, and from the pics jairus posted of stans work it is amazing.

Anybody know where I can grab some surf boards? Didn't the Revell 31 sedan have a couple?
if memory serves me correctly the monogram garbage truck kit has about four surfboards in it.
-
thank you for your article i've always been afraid to do resin cause i thought it would be to hard but now i'm going to be doing it. because i've looked at resin suppliers before and seen things i really liked but was too afraid but now that's changed. thank you keep up the good work.
-
nice start for your build. can't wait to see more pics. keep us posted.
-
lookin good jairus can't wait to see more you got some good tips.
-
So do you get a print of Jarius' work or entering? that would be worth the price of admission! Are there any openings still left?
Mike
you need to pm fletch to see if any openings left and you get a copy of artwork cause whatever piece you get is what you have to build.
-
thank you again jairus and i'll look for those.
-
thank you jairus i appreciate it i am still learning about all the new stuff in the hobby it's been ten years since i even looked at a kit let alone the after market side of the hobby. But i'm learning quick.

i think they should put all the models in a show in a locked display case and the only way to get your model out at the end of the show is to show a picture id and one of the event staff is the one to retrieve it out of the display case that way no one can steal what we have put so much hard work into. and yes i had one stolen but i got lucky and got it back a week later i had entered a chevy dually snapfast kit that i lowered painted aluma coupe yellow flocked the interior and made my own shifters for the steering coulum. i took second in the show and when i went to pick it up my model was gone luckily what happened is one of the other entrants had entered one simillar and had taken mine by mistake the hobby shop owner called him and he brought it back when he got back from being out of town. so i had a happy ending a week later but it made me not want to enter any more shows. but i am going to try and attend the one for the jwac build and i will be keeping a close eye on my model.
