Good design! Reminds me of the Hornet from the original Wing Commander game.

Just finished this one today. I'm really proud of it. The paint is Duplicolor. I stripped the wheels and painted them steel, then picked out the center caps, trim rings and lug nuts with a chrome pen.

Would be nice to see them reverse engineer some of the old kits. Maybe the body shells with new underpinnings?

Lovely build!

I think I need to just start living at Ollies. Want the '51 Chevy Bel Air

I think there are a couple of different kits of this car that are curbside, but Aoshima makes a full detail one. Nit-pickers will notice the missing upper radiator hose. Carpet monster got it.

Just finished this one today. It came out really well. I love the folding headlights.

Looks awesome! Great job!

Looks great! Love the color!

Wow! I thought those were pics of the real car at first. Outstanding job!

Here's mine! 1972 Buick Skylark Custom 2dr hardtop, converted from the 70 GSX kit. Mine was Flame Orange with a white vinyl top. I cribbed the front bench from the 70 Road Runner and converted it from there. The other is a 78 Chevy Monte Carlo built from the Trumpeter kit. I'd like to take another crack at that one with the MPC kit.

They were both on jack stands, so I think they were just there as decoration out front. But the Model A had its lights on. Not sure if they were runners or not. They had a sedan installed over the bar and several bodies/engines around the inside. Food was outstanding.

And went here for dinner a couple of doors up:

Saw this in front of the Starbucks at Rookwood in Cincinnati earlier today:

I did a base coat of Revell Aqua Color steel, then a wash of a copper/brown mix for heat staining, then a light wash of flat black. The engine itself is Revell aluminum and a wash of blue/black.

I was gonna call this one either "Son of The Pink Pig" or "What a Mary Kay exec would drive". This was a fun kit. The entire engine was plated, but it's decent once it's stripped. It goes together really well. The paint is a Duplicolor white base coat, Tamiya pink and then Duplicolor pearl white on top. The red plastic bled through, so it's PINK. I'm actually really happy with it.

Looks amazing! My wife thought it was one of mine because we have the same counters. ?

Beautiful job!

Got Ecto-1, The Munsters Koach and Drag-U-La. Ecto is the 1A kit with a lot of scratch building. Hubcaps and tires for Ecto are from the '59 Eldorado Convertible.

Got one of these and I'm curious to see how it builds. Watching this one.

It's a little difficult, but not impossible. The multipiece body is a little hard to get lined up, but it builds up well overall. It's an OLD kit by IMC originally.

What about using Green Stuff or Miliput to make the boot? Both are two component materials that remain pliable before hardening.

Here's what I do most of the time: I take a thin strip of masking tape and run it around the edge of the black area just outside of the area I want to remain clear. Once I've got it all the way around, I take a piece of wide masking tape and cover the entire surface and burnish it over the strip of tape I laid down. I then use a sharp X-acto and go around the edge of the visible area carefully and peel off the area outside so it can be painted. Then I mask off the outside and spray. If it's too hard to get to do this way, I'll edge the visible area with a Sharpie and hand paint it, but it's less neat.

Got in a kit from Ebay:

Went to Ollie's today. Got a 1/1000 scale USS Reliant from Wrath Of Khan for $12.99. I'll put her beside the Enterprise. Need to get the aztek decals.
