[Gasser wheels??]

Thanks Nick. Never thought to check comp resins......

Yeah, I'm looking for specific wheels without buying kits.

[Gasser wheels??]

Looking for a good source for gasser wheels. Steelie rears and magnesium fronts. 

Thanks,

Thanks for the encouragement everybody!! Well me and the misses have sold our condo and are moving in a week. So, instead of polishing, I went another route I've never tried. Future.

Trying to build and pack is proving to be hard. So It'll probably be awhile before the next post. Hopefully from my new workbench!!!!!! Hurray!!!!

Progress tonight:

Also, shot the clear. Waiting for the cure then the fun starts......

[First in progress post~REVELL '49 Merc.~]

Thanks everybody for the kind words and advice. Yes, I do think the white/green would be best.

Progress. Everything was painted yesterday and started building today. Nothing spectacular really.....

Thanks for checking it out!!

There you go big guy. Changed it

[First in progress post~REVELL '49 Merc.~]

You're right!! And it's right there on the box!!!LoL!!!! To much paint fumes........

[First in progress post~REVELL '49 Merc.~]

The interior. First thought I would go two tone white/light green. Now I'm thinking dark green/light green. But would that be too much green?? Opinions???

Decisions, decisions......

[First in progress post~REVELL '49 Merc.~]

So. This is the color of choice. Sanded the seam lines and sprayed dark gray primer to get a deeper effect. Waiting a couple days, then apply the clear.

I've never done a "workbench" post, so here it goes.

After building 2 Italeri and 1 Tamiya, I've decided to change it up and go domestic. This will be my first rubbed out paint job, so, if I mess up, you'll be right there with me. ?

I will be going traditional on this one, just a little lower than originally out of the box.

#2 in my collection of cars I'll never own. This was your typical run-of-the-mill, fantastic fitting Tamiya kit. Highly recommend.

Thanks for looking

Magnificent work!!!!

[Lamborghini miura]

Thanks everyone for the kind words!!!!

I agree. I love the 1:1 car, but I'm not familiar with the kit. From what I can see of yours, it turned out very well. Who makes it and are there any other features we could see? (engine, chassis, interior, etc)

It's a Hasegawa kit I got off of Amazon. The kit goes together very well, the only problem I had was with the side vents near the door windows. The way they are molded on the tree makes them virtually impossible to remove. The side vents (rocker panels) need to be attached and filled before paint. I didn't put these on as I like the looks without them.

It's a "curbside" kit. The engine cannot be seen under the rear hatch. So it's really up to you as to how much you detail it.

Second build in my "cars I'll never own" collection.

Thanks for looking

[Tamiya Mercedes 300SL Announced, new pics added to OP]

[Lemans model palooza]

I was checking out your album (great work by the way) and got all hot and bothered when i saw the Cadillac LMP. Where can I get my grubby paws on one of those kits?
