  1. Haven't tried this yet. Their acrylic paints are awesome, though. Much better than the Testors Acryl line ever was.
  2. Just finished this one today. Paint is Duplicolor Medium Charcoal metallic The wheels were missing, so I used some spares from the parts box and bored the posts out a little so they fit on the spindles.
  3. Awesome job on both!
  4. That was me! The wood panels came out well. I worked it down like foil and it came out great. I'm interested in picking up some different patterns for interiors.
  5. You might look into Citadel Miniatures paints. They have a wide range of colors.
  6. Went to Robbie's Hobbies today and picked up a couple of kits. Got a Revell Snap-Tite 1992 Chevy Caprice Taxi/Fire Chief car and a Revellogram Pro-Builder 1941 Ford Deluxe convertible. Both were sealed and shrink-wrapped, the box was a little crunched on one end of the Ford, but no damage to the kit.
  7. How about these? I used a set on my XKE a couple of years ago: https://www.3dmodelparts.com/1-24-1-25-wire-wheels-15-inch-60-spoke/
  8. Got this one done a couple of days ago. It was a salvaged gluebomb, originally an ugly grey-green color with a two tone blue interior. There's a couple of little things missing like the wipers for the headlights and the lenses for the driving lights in the bumper. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. It was missing a wheel, so I ordered some new ones.
  9. Awww... I love it!
  10. Nifty!! I'll have to try it out.
  11. Looks very good! Nice job!
  12. I must recommend when working with the Bondo spot putty: for the love of all that's holy, wear a mask! I was working with this stuff and started developing a really BAD cough. I keep an inhaler, but that wasn't helping. It only went away when I stopped using it. It says on the packaging that it can cause silicosis. It works great, but wear a mask.
  13. It looks like a steampunk version of a Locust from Battletech. I like it!
  14. In order: 1) Mazda 6, 2) Chevy Malibu, 3) Volvo (S60?), 4) Genesis, 5) VW Jetta, 6) Kia Optima, 7) Toyota Corolla, 8 Hundai Sonata, 9) Subaru Legacy, 10) Nissan Altima, 11) Ford Fusion, 12) Dodge Charger I think I'm pretty close.
  15. I had a 2009 Malibu, and it came from the factory with "wheels" that were plastic hubcaps over black steel wheels the same shape. They were 5 spoke black steel wheels with hubcaps that made them look like alloys. You even had to take them off by the "lug nuts". I kept bending the wheels, so I switched to real alloys later.
  16. Awesome job!
  17. Very sharp! Love the paint!
  18. I believe so. I know the Testors Porsche 356 was the Fujimi EM kit. Had one way back in the day. I want another one of those someday. The instructions just said to paint it silver under the hood. I bought some really thick foil at one point to try to use for chrome. Unfortunately it was too thick for that. But once it burnished down it was perfect for the under hood insulation.
  19. Very pretty car. Good job!
  20. Got her done today. It's not perfect, but I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.
  21. Done! Posting to Under Glass.
  22. One of these things is not like the other. Tail lights are on, but one of the housings flinged off into the never. So I made a mold of one of the survivors and cast a new one. It's a little off, but it fit the body without having to be adjusted.
  23. Getting there. Body is on and wheels. The headlights do move. It ain't perfect, but really happy so far.
