  1. Appreciate the comments. Decal on rear window say's Lead City Customs. It was built as a curbside so it has no engine and chassis wasnt detailed just painted matt black.

    87 Buick

    Built from this kit. Curbside build Paint. Body: Tamiya TS-14 gloss black. Interior: Tamiya TS-29 semi gloss black, XF-1 flat black and XF-19 sky grey. Alclad chrome applied to grille, headlight surrounds, shifter and steering wheel. Wheels: Aoshima
  3. As always mate clean build and well detailed, agree with others that the venetians are a great addition and look the part. Kinda has a sleeper look to it.
  4. Another build done in the exact same style as the 72 Chevelle I posted recently. This was built back in 2012 for a community build(2012 Lowrider tour) on this forum, but it seems I never posted it in the Under Glass section.
  5. Built this couple years ago but never got around to sharing on this forum. Basically it was a quick build to get the creative juices flowing again and get me out of a rut/slump and motivated to build again. Total build time was around 48hrs. Being that it was built quickly, it has no chassis detail or engine so pretty much a curbside. As some of you might recognize its done in a style(my trademark colours you could say) that I have done many times before on other builds. Paint Body: Tamiya TS-14 gloss black Interior: Tamiya TS-49 bright red which was over-coated with Alclad ALC 314 klear kote flat Wheels Pegasus #1109 DZ's chrome with spokes painted/airbrushed with Tamiya X-1 black Normally dont polish or wax my black paint jobs, but needed to get out the polishing cloth's and wax on this one.
  6. 1 car and 1 motorcycle [ Pretty sure some of you have seen the chopper before. [
  7. Any chance you could share/show some pics Roger.
  8. As far as im aware they are all the same just re-released with different box art. Link's to instructions. http://manuals.hobbico.com/rmx/85-2052.pdf http://manuals.hobbico.com/rmx/85-4225.pdf
  9. Time waits for no one

  10. Which link did you copy and paste ?? I copied and pasted IMG link.
  11. Thats all well and good if you only upload one at a time. But when im uploading 20 or more at one time, if I can reduce my upload time even if it is a few seconds then im all for re-sizing pics before upload. Just my personal preference.
  12. Re-sizing the pictures/images before uploading to Photobucket will reduce the upload time.
  13. You certainly got lucky finding and scoring all those kits Ray. Look forward to seeing you build them.
  14. Yeah Andy is a nice helpful bloke, but Scaleautomobilia's website inventory is very rarely updated, so you have no choice but to ring him to see if what you want is in stock and order it over the phone. Scaleautomobilia
  15. Im another who will recommend BNA model world, its my favourite place to go for supplies, huge selection of products .Quick processing and shipping. BNA Model world
  16. Cant wait to see all the awesome parts your now going to be able to make with a lathe.
  17. Very impressive work on those headers, I bet they were fun to make.
  18. Personally if I ever did this conversion, I would do it the way Roger done it. As his method would require no tedious filling and sanding.
  19. Very nice Dale, clean and well detailed. Engine looks like a beast with that injector hat. And as always a superb paint job.
  20. Great work so far, look forward to seeing it all start to come together.
  21. These 3 are the glue/adhesives I like to use. For gluing bare styrene. Engine halves,sub assemblies and parts that need time for adjustments/alignment. This is my choice, been using it since i started building many years ago. For parts that are painted,chromed etc, dont require time for adjustment, use it as filler and sometimes use it on window installs. I like to use this, instant strong bond no fogging when using small amounts. And for windows, lenses, clear parts, gluing various parts on finished assemblies and parts on the body after paint.
  22. Good too see this Lowrider build pop here. I remember it well and think it's amazing and like it alot, the amount of work and detail you put into it is a showcase of your skills.
  23. Looks like another mighty fine DeeCee creation is in the making, as always brilliant paint job mate.
  24. Surprising to see this build get bumped, Thanks for all the comments.
