    Continuing with trying to finish some stalled builds, I have the 57 Belair snap kit back on the bench, wet sanded, polished and applied the bmf. Hoping that will provide some motivation to get it complete.

    Sometimes buildss will fight us all the way, you just got fix the the situations that arise and live with some flaws. No build is ever 100% perfect. Cover the fuel filler area with a decal. You will only see the spider cracks up close. Wet sand and polish out the glue on the door. Make adjustments to the stub axle spindle to reset the front ride height. Grind/dremel the inside of the hood to gain some clearance. Just do what ever it takes to get it done, dont sweat the small issues and move onto the next one.

    Once again something different, this time a build inspired and styled from Australian Street Machines. Basically out of the box build. Just a change of wheels, which are 3D printed items from Jays resin wheels on ebay. Aftermarket front seats from Top Studio. Texas 3D Customs shifter. Steering wheel from Platinum Scale on ebay Paint is Acid Rain from The Scale Modellers Supply. Interior paint is Vallejo Mecha light green. Alclad chrome on the bumpers, grill, headlight surrounds, door handles, side mirrors, rear vision mirror and wipers. Engine components painted with Alclad Polshied Aluminium. Wheels were painted with Zurc Zuper chrome Bare Metal Foil for the trim.

    Still miss not seeing Plowboy on here. Always liked his style of builds and really enjoyed his wip topics. I have had the very same idea of doing a tribute build in memory of Roger. I have acquired the kits to try build a 67 Mustang Coupe like he was building. It was the last topic I remember interacting with him and it was a build I wished he could have completed as I liked it very much. So I would be happy to participate in this tribute topic for sure. I have a lot of other things going on but in time I will make the effort to build that Mustang for Roger.

    Something different. Not a serious build, but a challenging journey to make the idea I had a reality. I really like the hard top styling of the Nissan Skyline C210 and C211. To me they are like a mini Japanese version of some of the American Muscle hard top coupe's form the late 60's early 70's Aoshima's Skyline kits are a great canvas to do some customising and fun experimenting trying to build in different styles and thats what I did with this build. Started with this kit. And after some extensive body work and scratch building I ended up with this. 3D printed wheels are designed by SlowlyModels Engine was donated from the AMT General Lee kit. Interior parts before install. Like mentioned nothing serious, just a fun build all about the visual. Some wip pictures can be found here.

    Nailed that black paint job, well done Bob. Great recovery on this build, going to be a looker with that colour combo.

    As always thanks for commenting Mathias, cant wait to get some colour on this LC Wheels and tyres I printed myself, painted with Alclad chrome and Vallejo 70.950 black. Wheels are 19' Staggered GM Magnum 500 and 3D files are ZFORCEMODELWORX they were up scaled to 19.5mm. Tyres are Mickey Thompson Sportsman low profile and 3D files are from MORRIESKUSTOMS they were rescaled to suit the wheels.

    Good to see another fellow Aussie. Will you be building some of the Australian cars that are available as plastic kits ??

    Tamiya compounds would be the go, the cut in would be less aggressive.

    Started planning out another Torana build.

    Some new 3D printed and freshly painted wheels for a Torana build. Files can be found on cults3d, rims are from MorriesKustoms and redline tyres from Scale-Model-Wheels-And-Design.

    My guess is around 1/22 scale.
