  1. Tamiya white primer, im switching to a white with a slight tint eventually so it looks like a driven tire.
  2. I know mostly everyone is pretty much set in their ways with the circle template but i cant because i get picky about the black to white ratio on the tires. Too much whitewall is Kustom and not enough whitewall might as well be a decal" Ideally i wouldve printed my own with a separate whitewall insert but i wanted to keep the build box stock. the Dspiae cutter isnt it but it helps when you want to make the tape holder. I prefer the Olfa compas cutter because i use it as a caliper on the tire to measure how much whitewall i want on the tire since all tires vary in size. having both tools isnt neccessary you can do both with the Olfa.
  3. This, works great for styrene but ill stick to my Olfa for the tape
  4. PETG i wanted something harder since im using it to bend brass, also wanted something hammer/vise grade for people that cant squeeze hard.
  5. I had to design my own rig and make it easier to operate. its been consistent far even taking a hammer blows for a power press
  6. After driving a Hyundai Veloster its actually a neat concept thats practical
  7. thats sick i dig the changed front end
  8. Working on the 62 buick changing the whole front bumper aesthetics with modern lights and a different pattern front grille, pretty much the whole car is getting redone it started with the engine bay then it spiraled. yes its gonna be on 34" tall wheels.
  9. its been useful, its nice to have evenly cut styrene, it doesnt cut flush tho i think the blade flexes a little
  10. The headlights were dremel sculpted and lenses vacuformed over the stock lenses. The air rides are 3d prints i designed the tank the rest i got off a another file. The wheels are one offs and theyre not scaled to size but more to fit the lowered proportions. Paint is all tamiya lacquers italian red and metallic grey
  11. Working on a Stang Van, one off wheels and decided against scratch building a window so im adding a air ride setup for it.
  12. nice build, mine turned out just as nice but man what a fight to get it to sit right
  13. pretty sure space and comfort
  14. been itching for widebody builds so i rushed two to the finish just to get to this project.
  15. My least favorite build but it has some firsts like a lasercut grille base and trim pieces. some custom one off 3d printed pieces all the paint is Tamiya the silver trim is sharpie. I pretty much built it to sell.
  16. pretty much bone stock except the wheels/tires and steering wheel which i designed and printed for myself. The colors are nail polish and tamiya.
  17. Got the interior and wheels painted and assembled. Decided to cut a new grill with the thicker aluminum material
  18. Made myself a business card, then while doing that i had the craziest idea. i have terrible hand writing so i never filled the sheets at model car shows aside from my name, my punctuation is still bad but this is way more legible than trying to write it down. Alos made a sweet grille for my 66 olds but couldnt find the mesh to back it.
