  1. Now this is different, and awesome! It reminds me a bit of the boattail Buick Riviera...
  2. Such a good song, and a great idea to base an awesome model on the video What did you use to replicate the broken glass?
  3. That is super-cool!!
  4. That shade of blue works so well on the 'Vette! That is a fun kit.
  5. This looks fantastic! I agree that the R34 wheels work much better...have you considered painting them a steel or gunmetal color? Still darker than the kit chrome, but not so dark that they lose detail...
  6. Thanks for the replies, guys! Been a hectic week, so I haven't had a chance to try anything. I will try the 91% soak first, since I have that on hand.
  7. Lovely stuff here, everyone! Here's my matching pair:
  8. There is a hobby shop in town that is closing its doors, sadly...the owners are retiring...so I picked up one of these. For $4, why not. Does anyone know the best method to remove the pre-printed graphics? I could just prime and paint over, but I'm afraid the graphics will just sort of show as a raised area underneath the paint. Ideas and thoughts would be much appreciated!
  9. Drop-dead gorgeous!!!
  10. Very, very nice! This will always be one of my favorite kits
  11. Gorgeous stuff here, everyone! Here are a few of mine:
  12. This is one of those kits that always catches my eye at the store but I haven't pulled the trigger on yet...yours looks great!
  13. You had me at "Pacer"...very unexpected swap, well done!
  14. Looks like a potential Roadkill contender...looks great!
  15. Wow, really nice!
  16. I stopped by my local Michael's yesterday. They had a handful of kits that were on clearance, but the clearance price was $11.99-12.99, so I passed.
  17. The KMET and KLOS decals on the rear just seal the deal for me...that's gorgeous!
  18. I just picked this kit up at Hobby Lobby, and the box reads 1/24 scale.
  19. I will definitely give that a shot when I get home...thanks much!
  20. That looks GREAT! I love the color and wire wheels! This is mine, using wheels and tires from Revell's '79 Z-28 and Testors Root Beer lacquer...
  21. Perhaps Tamiya TS-30 Silver Leaf with a clearcoat?
  22. Does anyone know what type of paint the ColorPlace spray paint from Walmart is? I use it frequently for smaller parts, but recently used it on a body, with unfavorable results. It didn't seem like the 91% alcohol I usually use did much good on it...any suggestions?
  23. Looks great! I agree about the lowering, this is mine...don't remember what I did to drop it though lol
  24. Oh my....I NEED to get one of those!
