  1. thanks for the info. great work btw.
  2. i second that.
  3. Hey Richard, what do you use to shrink your pictures to print? i have been using MS paint, and im not getting great results. thanks
  4. Thanks guys. I should be able to get some time this weekend to get the doors finished, and get the walls attached
  5. Awesome so far. Keep the pics coming!
  6. So my original post got deleted by accident. So here it is again, I'm giving the dio thing a try. Going for a Porsche outlaw garage, with a Fujimi 356 and a 911. I made the floor and walls with plaster of Paris. I followed a "how to" by Ken Hamilton. Im also using the Fujimi tool kit. A lot more in the works and planning the side walls and doors. And I still have to start on the 356 outlaw. I'm still waiting for a few things in the mail to attach the walls and really start assembly. Thanks for looking!
  7. Thanks Dave. I'm making progress. I got the engine in last night, and have started painting the body. I've been distracted lately at the bench, day dreaming my next build lol. Any one have those seatbelt decals for trade? Thanks
  8. This is truly an awesome build. Keep the pictures coming!
  9. Yes you did sir! And that is an awesome build. I have used many of those pictures of your build as reference, I am using the brumos livery as well. You added great details to the brakes, and engine, and the cockpit. I will be doing that on my next build
  10. Here is where I am with the engine now. I cleaned up as much of the mold lines as possible. I've added a few other minor details. I think I am pretty content with where it is now. I am not a master builder my any means, and I feel happy with this outcome. I don't want to over do it. My main hurdle will be prepping, painting, and the decals on the body. Also, i am in need of a pair of sabelt decals for the harness if some one has some to trade. PM me. Thanks for looking and please comment and give advise!
  11. The interior looks fantastic.
  12. Very nice sir! Your builds are awesome.
  13. Thanks Foxer, I've disassembled almost half of the motor to clean up some of my sloppy mistakes I applied decals to the tires and washed them lightly with acrylic paint. I think it looks good. Thoughts and input? I have some pics to get up soon.
  14. Thanks! As Foxer pointed out, i need to go back and tighten some of those mold lines up a bit. I flocked that seat 3 times, and then did 2 coats of flat black on it. This was my first attempt at flocking, i am happy with the results. This kit has a fair amount of parts, so it takes a fair amount of patience. I'm also not going for "perfection" with the engine and such because i want it to look like it has ran some laps. This really is my first time trying to approach it this way, so i think i may need to slow down a bit, and take a second look at some of the parts. I am fairly happy with the front end, all thou with these blown up pictures, i am finding some small things i want to change. I will try and get some more pictures up soon. I
  15. Thanks, yeah that really sticks out after i washed it... I almost always go over the flash and mold lines. I also see a big ol' drop of glue there lol. Its easier to see this stuff blown up in HD than looking at it in my basement.
  16. I got a lot of work done on this over the weekend. I used the scale motorsport harness kit, which I'm not crazy about. I'm gonna have to tweek it alittle. I'm just about finished with the engine, still have some plumbing to do. Wheels are ready. And the front end is just about there. Gotta few small things to add. Thanks for looking and please give some feed back.
  17. awesome build
  18. Hey, thanks for the positive feed back. I'll post some more progress pics soon. I have done some more weathering on the engine, and I also got the fuel distributor wired and installed. I'm waiting for some stuff in the mail to finish up the seats and get the rest of the interior completed. I'm also tossing around some ideas on how to display it. Any suggestions?
  19. Hello! So i don't post much of my work on here. That doesn't mean i don't come here looking for tips, checking out everyone's work, and seeking inspiration. I started this kit early this year, and I have been having a blast with it. It is such a fun kit. Here are some pictures of where i am with some of it. Thanks for checking it out.
  20. Awesome job! I am building this same car right now. It's an extremely fun and cool kit. Thank you for the inspiration.
  21. Awesome build. It has inspired me to get back to the bench. Thanks.
  22. Very cool!
  23. Looks awesome. Great job
