AMT 72 Chevy Blazer crew chief
Drake69 replied to Mr Stock's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Looks really nice! As a minor suggestion, get some thin sheet styrene, cut out some small rectangular pieces out of it, then glue them to the inside of your hardtop and paint them black. It will keep the top from bouncing around and allow it to sit better to the cab. Like this... And my tailgate has the same gap as well. Must be the nature of the kit. Great work!!! -
What predictions can we make for new kit releases in 2017?
Drake69 replied to GMP440's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I'm pulling for the '71 Demon. I'd also like to see a '70s Maverick at some point, like around '70 to '72. I mean, they already did the Pinto wagon (a stock Pinto wouldn't hurt either!), so why not? Cosworth Vega as well, maybe? -
Ohh yeah.... that'll survive a high-speed collision.... ... at about 5 MPH....

Yeah... that's hitting the WAY BACK button on those... I had all three, but Darth was my favorite!

Thanks!

Thanks! I wanted to do it in flat black but ran out of that paint and haven't been to the store to pick up some more. I'd love to see more skull and barbed wire artwork on some of these cars as they are few and far between. I DO like the Aqua Blue though,

Most accurate kit(s) ever (1/24-25)?
Drake69 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Aside from the Jo-han Cadillac Hearse kit I just built, the only other kits I can think of that hasn't been mentioned yet is the AMT '71 Duster 340, which if I remember correctly, was considered one of the best molds to hit the market, and the '68 Dodge Dart Super Stock GTS, a personal favorite of mine. -
I was thinking of doing mine in silver and blue in that same pattern. I'll DEFINITELY have to do it like that now! Nice color combo!

I really need to learn plug wiring skills. It makes the engine bay look so much better. Excellent!
-
I'll second that. I was looking at it like, "Wow! Nice build for Revell, think I need to pull out mine and dig into it!" Good work!

This took only 2 days to build. A nice kit, sprayed in One Coat De Ja Blue and Blazing Black 2-tone with dark grey interior. Extra decals by Dirty Donny.

Thanks everyone!
-
Thanks! Yeah, it's the original plating on the piece. I don't have an airbrush yet or Alclad to properly paint it. Ohh well. (EDIT: It does look better without the flash though...)
-
It's Tamiya Maroon spraypaint which makes it a nice burgundy when paired with black. I have this one complete in Under Glass. Thanks guys!!!

Although I have license plates to put on it, I'm marking this one done for now. I'm also in the market for a front script in either a decal or photoetch as I couldn't get BMF to look right. Body: Tamiya Gloss Black Top: Tamiya Flat Black Interior: Tamiya Maroon with cloth headliner Resin casket
