    1937 Cord 812

    Nope, it's a drawing concept of a future design of a large Mall. I like the way it makes the models look like they are in a Museum or on at a collectors special designed garage.
  2. Here's my Leopard 2A4. Instead of coloring it with the standard Nato Green, I designed this Winter/Street Camouflage from a camouflage fatigues that I seen on the movie "The Rock". When I saw those fatigues the idea came to me, "hey, that camo design would look cool on a tank". So I did it. Hope you agree with me.
  3. Here's my other Hum-V. Designed for the Desert Storm War. Model kit is from Italeri on 1/35 scale. Went together very well. It was a fun kit to build.
  4. One of a few of my favorite planes of World War 2. The A6M2-N is a ZERO that was converted to a Float Plane. The Allies named them Rufe. This is a Tamiya kit on 1/48 scale.
  5. This is an AMAZING build. And made of wood, that is awesome. That's one thing that I have not tried and don't think I'll do yet. Wood is very different from plastic.
  6. It's the original kit from Tamiya. The one that is out now is the re-release of this same kit. It's a very good kit and it goes very well together.
  7. Thanks. My photography classes that I took has come in handy.
  8. Thank you for that information. I'll have to go back to my kit and corrected that.
  9. This is the original Monogram kit that came out on 1967. This kit is as old as I am. I saved the art box that this kit came with. The box is in very good condition even for it's age. This was a nice kit to build. TOP DOWN TOP UP
  10. Very nice.
  11. I found it online.
  12. Hi Steve - I actually used Bare Metal. And did each panel individually. Then I painted the centers of each panel with flat Aluminum to make it look like the real car.
  13. Weathering this tank was allot of fun. I even hand painted the decals to give it a more authentic look. I did the Desert Camo that the British used during the desert war. It's a Tamiya model kit at 1/35 scale.
  14. Looking really good. What's the scale on this one?
  15. Here's the third of the 1970 Mustangs Project... This one is the MACH 1. This is the stock MACH 1. No modifications, as you would of bought back in 1970.

    My builds

    Very nice builds.
  18. yup, I did. I brushed them on. No Airbrush. yup, I did. I brushed them on. No Airbrush.
  19. The Tank that helped the Allies push back the Germans in World War 2. Not as strong as the German tanks, but what it lacked in power, made-up in numbers. And in the hands of a great General like Patton, it was a mighty sword. This is a 1/35 scale Tamiya kit of the Early Version of the Sherman.
  20. This 1/35 scale Humvee was really cool to build. One of my many projects is to build all the vehicles/tanks, etc.. of the Desert Storm War. A tribute to my cousin (a Marine) who fought in that War. Semper Fi.
  21. I used the Revell kit's front and side windows, but the Rear I had to scratch build. The good thing is that the rear window was mainly flat so that made it easier to build. Believe it or not, I used two sheets of thick Laminate paper and but them together.
  22. I used Testor's Ultra Clear Gloss. It gives the best gloss without the need to polish.
  23. LOL... If you find one out other. Grab it as Revell don't make them any longer. I got lucky and found two. One I built and the other I stored away... for now.
  24. Hi Curtis, yup, I did allot of armor models. It's allot of fun and sometimes a pain. But I love it. It's been a while (2 years) since I have built one, but they are fun to build. Specially when it comes to weathering. Some people do some awesome weathering, but when doing weathering, some people forget one major rule... they forget to do it in scale. Sample - When you see a car in a distance, you may say it looks like new, but when you walk up next to it, then you can see the flaws on the paint and maybe a little rust. Same thing with Armor and planes. The more subtle the weathering the nicer the weather would look.
