A lot of them are open and I haven't found any warpage luckily.

Thanks, I was wondering decal paper would work.

I think the truck is based on a Grumman truck, I sure hope it won't be too hard to convert it to a stock van

It could make an interesting Cannonball entry!

I have three of the last stock issue from 2017(?) but this one will find me buying more! I love anything BRE related. I wonder if they corrected the stance or if it's a straight reissue of the California Sunshine version? Either way, I'll line up to buy.

Are those the 1/24th kits? I can vouch for them. I have several of the Initial D kits waiting to be built. My kids were deeply into Anime just before COVID and we took to a convention in Dallas, Texas. I found a vendor who had a couple cases of the kits and my wife let me off the leash to get a bunch.

I wonder if Revell still has the molds for this and the Mustangs? I built them all at one time or another and remember them being fun.

You're making a great start. These little kits really do make a great blank canvas. There's so much you can do with them.

I bought a can from HobbyTown a couple weeks ago. I think it was around $12.

I hope thread's not dead! I can't really put up a picture of my workbench since it's buried in kits and parts, but I do have a small area in the center that I can work from. One of my LED lights just went out and I need to get another. Has anyone tried using LED ribbon light in place of conventional lights? Does it work well? I still have some left over from what we used as under cabinet lighting. It's pretty bright and I'm wondering if it would be easier than a new fixture.

Thanks! The SMC Cartage door ended up being harder to imagine than it was to build. It's mostly Evergreen and Plastruct. The door part is Evergreen 2050 V-Groove which looks a lot like the rollup door on my old shop. The frame and the top is various plastic strip and halfround. It's finished out with gray primer that has some random decals and various colors of Vallejo washes. The second door is an interior version, using the same plan and materials. The main difference is in detailing. The interior door has a chain pull and different control box. The back side looks a bit rough, but it doesn't show anyway so that's okay. The wood stabilizes the door and keeps it from warping and at the top is a magnet so it sticks to the backdrop.

That's too cool! Now if they could be persuaded to do a hybrid version I'd get one. Here in rural central Texas charging stations are not too common.

I finished off the electric box and did HVAC ducting. Was going to do a longer run for the AC but I only had a small amount of square tubing. I think it should be okay photos. Both these pieces have small neo-dymium magnets holding them in place. They are easy to counter sink into the back of most things. These are the magnets, I used two per piece. I could've probably use one magnet per piece just as well. I also have some larger disc shaped ones I got from HL. The peel and stick magnet on a roll stuff works as well, but these have a better hold. You can get a much better price at Amazon and other vendors if there's not an HL near you.

Does diecast count? I had an expiring 40% coupon from CVS so I stopped by to check out the diecasts. They had the usual old stuff, except for this one. Not a big fan of EVs but I like the look of this thing. Maybe I'll come up with something to do with it. Wonder how it would work lowered and as a panel van?

Not sure why, but there were Harleys all over town this morning.
