Awesome work, I have a F350 project that I need a bed cap for , mind sharing how you went about making yours?

The third set of Christmas lights getting in cut , is really starting to irk me.

Its my daughters bed

Got a new bed with a slide on it, wwwweeeeee

They are not that really hard to find , nor are they expensive, they retail for about $20 in Japan, yes, the chassis and everything that goes with it lacks detail, but thats sort of the point with the low rider Hilux kits. The 4X4 version that Aoshima makes has I would say, decent chassis/frame detail.

This was parked in a mall parking lot on Black Friday

Its of no ones concern how people spend their money.

A seller on Ebay, bought a pair of speaker stands from them going on three years ago, well las week , a piece broke on one of them, now this piece is very important, the legs attach to it , anyways, contacted the manufacture, did a search, but had no luck, so I contacted the seller, after a few exchanges, they are going to send me the new part, they asked that I cover the shipping, I am pretty sure at this point, they are under no obligation to help me, so very nice of them to do so.

Not really, what is your question?

I am probably one of the few that have no interest in glue bombs , well, in buying them , I have plenty of my own glue bombs

Its not technically a new kit, its a modified reissue with decals and different wheels, this is the third version based on the tooling , the kit was first released in May of this year with out decals. This is the is the other w/decal version that came out in July of this year http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10270932 I posted a review thread when it came out http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=90754

Mike at Mikes Decals is doing the 2013-15 NASCAR Ford Fusion body, he says they should be instock next weekend .

Got a new #3 tip today to replace the one that broke

I lost a few WIP threads, but no big deal, nothing to get upset over, just reposted them, and life goes on

Very nice, and pretty neat that spoiler from the Mustang fits the 458, I am going to keep that in mind.

Have you tired CSC(purple cleaner/power) or 97% or higher alcohol , or how about Easy Off oven Cleaner ?

Both kits are same in terms of building and quality/detail, the Prostar has a much better instruction book than the Lonestar kit. Yes, I have built both, and to me, they both built up the same way, there was no difference in that. But , that is because the kits share a lot of the same tooling, I believe the only difference is the hood/bumper, frame and engines are the main tooling that is different. So it just comes down to, what truck do you prefer the most.

Interior done almost done And real quick mock up

Hilux interior done

Body's in primer started work on the chassis, I know its not accurate being all black, but I really did not want to try and mask to paint the areas body, call me lazy, its ok and skipping ahead And I know, you are all asking, but what about the colors for the body's?, well, here you go And I got this shade to use on another build, but it was also used on later version of the 4Runner/Hilux Surf , so figured , why not

Nissan Terrano vs Toyota Hilux

I use CSC all the time to clean clear plastic , have not had any issues so far.
