    From the wife for Christmas, for whatever reason, I came across this a few months back and said to myself I should get it, and try it out, I have a plan for it.

    The new full detail NASCAR kits they did were some of the best kits Revell did to date, and I can kind of see that work carrying over in the photos of the Chevelle kit.

    It was a bit of a slow year , only completed 28 , Its much easier to make a video then to post 28 photo's , enjoy please.

    I use Mr Mark Softener and Tamiya's strong solution, I still have the Mirco twins, but rarely use them now , as my opinion the Micro SET/SOL is not very strong and you seem to have to use more to get the same results as the ones from Mr Hobby and Tamiya. The Mr Mark is a very hot solution and I regularly ruin decals because of that(its a set it and forget it )

    Looks like Revell did a good job on this one, and if I had any sort of interest in this subject I would be very pleased with this kit. Kudo's or props to them for making the frame railing a separate piece .

    It was sold before I before made the post, they are pretty cheap , you can get a new one on Ebay with a lens for just under $400 shipped.

    That is beautiful

    Yep, my last shipment was 6 kits( a shirt and a pen and a detail up set) it ran me $58 US( it was like 6000Y) Fedex was almost double that at around 8000Y, I hate, I mean I hate using EMS, the tracking simply sucks ( at least for me) and I never have an idea when its coming once it clears Customs in Cali. But I like the savings so there is that. Because of the higher shipping I no longer let my PWH get past 6 kits. It really does suck for you guys up north, you are really getting screwed over shipping cost.

    And, I have problems, another camera, yes, this is the next model up from the one I got a few months ago, this is replacing my Nikon D5300 that I am selling. I am saying this is my Christmas present to myself, B&H Photo had a good deal that I couldnt pass up.

    And here we go, gonna end on a semi high note, Kurts Monster/HAAS Ford, Powerslide decals, Mr Surfacer Black then a coat of SGC over the decals, ignore the left side door number decal, I must of moved it backed before it dried and didnt notice till it was too late. And with that, the Garage is now closed for 2018.

    Here is Ryan Blaneys Rev/Fleetwood Ford Fusion for the 2018 year, you say I did this as the one he ran at the ITS BRISTOL BABY!!! Night race, decals are from Stoney's. It turned far worse than even I could imagine, so I am leaving it at that.

    Very nice work Dann, all that work paid off .
  14. martinfan5
    This will be the final street car for 2018( that I am aware of) , the Mercedes 500SEC from Tamiya , Merc Diamond Blue Met paint from Scalefinishes, box stock for the win, I used a mix of BMF and the Chrome Pen for all the various items that needed to be chrome.

    NIce work

    Its getting there, ive seen 3D printed parts that dont need any sanding, so it all comes down to the printer that is being used. But yes, you make valid points.
  17. martinfan5
    That COE is neat looking, but good god , you can see how rough it is.
  18. martinfan5
    Its going to be no different than it has been , just the medium in which things are done are going to be different( if you are not sure, I am in full agreement with your post Mike)
  19. martinfan5
    Nissan R31 GTS R , Nissan Millenium Jade paint from Scale Finishes , Box stock as one can get. Hasegawa Kit.

  21. martinfan5
    Maybe sometime next year, the nightmare of building the first one is still fresh I like that, and look forward to seeing you build it
  22. martinfan5
    You know, I am not surprised you said that Dann
  23. martinfan5
    Correct, you are. Casey, its a protective film.

    From the Modelers, its the 2017 Toyota Camry( Asian Version) G Leather Package version, full resin kit with some metal bits
  25. martinfan5
    The 2018 Nissan 370 Zed Heritage Ed from Tamiya, its pretty much a reissue of the 370Z kit from 2009 with some new parts/wheels and decals. Since its been a while, lets look at the entire kit, yes, both RHD and LHD are included.
