  1. Appreciate the comments Mathias and Bob.
  2. Small update on some progress made on the XW GT Ford Falcon. Engine bay sub assembly complete. Also have all the interior parts ready to be installed when doing final assembly
  3. Good to see you making some progress mate. Should have look around the cheap shops for a sticker sheet with sets of stars. Could use them as a paint mask or for graphics.
  4. Applied Alclad chrome to wheels and you know how it is, just couldnt wait to do a mock up.
  5. Built another HQ Holden Lowrider awhile back for a build off on Instagram.
  6. Applied some clear to the XW Falcon GT body and components.
  7. Thanks Jim, I have to admit those panels lines are amongst some of the best looking ive ever done. .2mm Dspiae. Thanks Bob, always appreciate you dropping by to leave a comment Hey Steve, things are great now the summer heat wave has ended. Perfect temps for getting to bench and doing some painting. Quite a bit of work to shoe horn the LSX 454 into the engine bay of the HQ. First Twin Turbo engine ive built so it was a learning experience. Appreciate the compliments, always strive to build clean, my eyes are not what they use to be but with magnifiers I get by and still enjoy building. Hey Paul, yeah nah no photoshopping going with the images, just crop and adjust the lighting if needed. Means a lot to get a compliment from a builder whom I look to for inspiration, plan to build a 66 Chevy Malibu soon that will be influenced by your build thread. Seeing how well you are with all other aspects of building, im sure you will have that eureka moment with the Alclad soon. Its nice to know people enjoy seeing the work that goes on here at Lead City Customs.
  8. Current build im working. Time for the Australian Ford's.
  9. Another full set of DDA Collectibles Ford Falcon GT kit's
  10. Checking out the oob stance of the XY Ford Falcon GT. So good to be able to build kits of Australian cars
  11. Got a few items from The Scale Modellers Supply
  12. So far I am liking the new XW Ford Falcon GT kits. Applied a check coat of 1500 black surfacer and quick oob mock up.
  13. So good to have more kits of Australian cars being released.
  14. My apologies Bill. It's been a minute, so I thought you might have some progress updates/test prints or found another subject you are rendering.
  15. Any new projects to show and update the thread ??
  16. Found some cool looking wheels and printed a set for a stalled build. Hopefully the new wheels will get me motivated to finish it.
  17. Got it completed on time, will post up more pics very soon.
  18. Thanks, look forward to seeing your HQ build. Pretty versatile subject that can be any style and it will still look cool. A time less design. 1990 to mid 2000's are my favorite era of Aussie Street Machine's. Yeah no worries, will definitely have to do another group build Street Machine style sometime in the future. Cheers Bob, had to shoe horn the power plant.
  19. Quick mock up checking how the engine looks.
  20. Couple Jimmy Flintstone 08 TA Firebird's. Pretty good turn around times considering the time of year.
  21. Fitted some Pegasus #1309 D style wire wheels, will need to lower it a bit I think.
  22. Thanks Bob, here's one for ya. Current build im working on at the moment. Doing a buddy build on Instagram with a couple mates. The idea is to build a DDA kit inspired by a car you would see in the Australian magazine Street Machine. The inspiration for my build is the cover car from May 2006.
  23. Very happy to have one of these so I can do a build inspired by the movie car from Training Day.
  24. Yeah okay im liking the idea, I will be back at a later date with my build idea.
