  1. Good start Oscar
  2. You are right, and its hollywood, so anything is possible, just Han not being dead, anything can happen
  3. Very nice indeed, good job
  4. Here is one that I just finished up
  5. Here is AMT's 2013 Chevy Camaro ZL1 from there show room replica series, paint is for the most part Hemi Oragne , wheels were painted with Tamiya Gun Metal , had some fit issues with the rear bumper, and kind of messed up some of the masking lines for the black.
  6. Quick build here, Fujimi kit, kerbside kit, nothing special to write home about, very very little chassis and interior detail, Painted it with Scale Finishes Chevy 57 Cyber Grey, used Alcald aluminum on the wheels, and thats about it .
  7. Mike, are you coming to this months Moonlinght meeting?, if so, I hope you will bring the body along with you
  8. That is a decent point and shoot camera, it should do just fine for taking pis of models, but getting good quality photos isnt just about the camera, its more about good lighting, a crappy camera can shoot good pictures with the right lighting.
  9. I am guessing that would not possible today, well, I am sure it is to a point, but not with a lot question's being asked
  10. I wouldnt mind seeing the pics either Bradley,
  11. I bet you are counting down the days , congrats on the soon to be more free time to build, cheers
  12. Yes, I do all the time , here just a few of the last few builds I have done using Scale Finishes paint over Tamiya white/grey primer
  13. I thought only children drank Kool-Aide
  14. Wow George, that is very nice, I think you are better stocked then some LHS are
  15. I really have no idea, but I would say close to 50
  16. Nice work Mike, I might have to give it a try when I get mine
  17. Even with plenty of hobby shops, I buy pretty much everything online, from where, just depends on who has the best price. I do buy 99% of my paint at the LHS. No more Amazon for me, since I am lucky enough to have one of their distribution centers in the same state, us AZ residents have to pay sales tax, I still buy stuff from Amazon, just not hobby related stuff
  18. I am kind of with you, I hate it when I am asked what I am doing, more so when it is very clear as to what it is I am doing
  19. That is just beautiful, I seen this shared on FB , I can wait to get a RB kit , I keep putting it off
  20. Oh yeah, that is nice, I like it, makes me want to build another one
  21. That was the plan for the exhaust, well I am still planning it out, but that was the first thing I am going to do for two reason's, one for what you said,and two, the headers come back past them, so I need to cut the off to be able to connect them to the engine
  22. After taking care of some of the over spray(forgot the spot on the top of the fender), started do some of the decals, I still need to finish up in the engine compartment, and the interior as well
  23. Started work on the interior, body color and Tamiya light grey from the can , and for the dash, since I ran out of paint while I was trying to get the dash painted, I had a bottle of MM purple pearl , so that is what I used to finish the dash with and a sort of mock up now, on to the chassis , since I am using the 396 with bigger headers, the stock exhaust pipe just wont cut it, so after some head scratching, and trying different exhaust pipes, this is what I think I am settling on, its the one of two that are very close in diameter to the headers, they are from the Impala SS kit, so still keeping it in the GM family and a mock up, as you can see, for the most part, they fit it pretty darn good, the only issue, well one of them is the placement of the mufflers, sitting right on top on the trailing arms, so I am thinking about routing it to the sides and here you can see how nice the 396 fills up the engine bay
