  1. The following photos belong to Desk Top Japan , converting it to a short body version.
  2. Whatever I feel like, but I do have a few things planned, I am gong to get started on a 2015 Featherlite transporter , wanted to start it a month ago.
  3. And we have our first look at the new parts for the Gazoo Racing version
  4. I misunderstood you, my mistake
  5. The hobby of building scale models of all subjects is going to out live all of us.
  6. Tamiya is not a "hot" paint, its a plastic safe paint, do not worry, it will not craze the plastic.
  7. Yes, it has great coverage , one coat is enough, that in turns make it last longer.
  8. Now that Hobby Lobby is stocking Tamiya Primer, its my go to primer, well, that and Mr Hobby Mr Surface primers, as they say, you get what you pay for.
  9. I thought you were meaning the women in the advert
  10. Yes, I have one, I bought mine through TCP Global , it works decent for decent for the money.
  11. Would like to see this one reissued one day, and would really like it with the high rise sleeper.
  12. Thank you guys
  13. How about a topic that have no right or wrong answer , looking at any WIP thread, you see the different ways people go about building their models, and its interesting sometimes seeing how people go about building models, and one way is the painting and assembling process. So I am curious, what way do you prefer?, do you paint all the parts and then start the assembling process?, or do you paint and assemble in steps? And do you prefer to paint the body first or last?
  14. The "unicorns and rainbows" mentality is rampant on most model car groups on FaceBook, The hobby is many different things to everyone, and what I have been noticing, is the whole point of the hobby is lost to many, to spend time doing something you enjoy, it is just mind boggling that how something as simple as building scale models for Relaxation(which is what most people are doing it for) creates so much drama. It doesnt matter what side of the fence you are on, the other side is doing it wrong. Now, for the disclaimer, I am not saying this is fact, just my observation from spending time on forums and Facebook model groups.
  15. Toy Arena , buy from them on Ebay, free shipping that way.
  16. Clear coats are done, now I need to go back and touch up some areas of color that I missed, like on the insides of the doors.
  17. For starters, not a new kit, its has been out for I want to say about three years now, I dont remember the exact release date at this moment, second, the one I have, had a lot of fit issues, for starters, the doors where out of shape, and one of them I could never get back into shape, and I had to glue them shut , there was not other way. The front fenders are not long enough, so you are going to have a large gap, the center part of the front nose is not wide enough, the engine cover was also out of shape and did does not fit right. The mirrors, there is no way to attach them to the windows, the holes for the mirrors to attach to are too large. This is a kit that takes a lot of work, and a decent amount of skills , sadly, I dont have the skills needed to pull it off on this one, there is a lot of potential with these kits, but the shorts comings get in the way of that.
  18. Go for it, you only once, maybe twice if you are lucky , its seems to be a nice kit, and they it seems that are planning doing another version, so the more sales, the better of that happing
  19. Right, it is smaller, I was just pointing out that there are some choices for them right now The short wheelbase, or this one was not available in the USA, so its only going to have a RHD
  20. Yes, HLJ gets a looooooottttttt of money from me Not wanting to get in on this, But I probably should not have posted the pic of the cat we got, but it was at least auto related, as the cat did ride in a car on the way home..........................................................
  21. I wish it was free, I bought it, it was $8 and change
  22. Fujimi just recently reissued their 2dr version, and they are are also reissuing their 4dr w/options version as well , I do have Aoshima's 2dr version on pre order
  23. Its a Sunny day here And take a look, you get two wheel options
