I could see that being used in the pits at a race. Really neat!

I just finished one of these recently. I ended up gluing a strip of styrene at the bottom of the clear part using liquid adhesive, then just cleaning up the seam. It's not perfect, but it's hard to spot unless you know it's there.

I've got the '57 Cameo kit, but haven't built it yet. Thanks for the compliments! Oh, forgot: the bed was done with the woodgrain Washi tape and foil. I think it's one of the things I'm happiest with. I've got some others I'll be posting soon.

My brother gave me this one a couple of years ago for Christmas. It came out really well. I opened up the grille so you can see the radiator through it. The glass was the worst part, since it was actually too small for the openings. I had to laminate a piece of plastic on the bottom and then polish it back out.

Amazing build!

I'm currently working on 3 at this time. I can work on one while waiting on parts to dry on another or if I'm making some details. Currently the Monogram Triumph TR7 curbside, AMT 1955 Chevy Stepside pickup and an AMT Plymouth Prowler.

Just finished this one today. Italeri Lamborghini Diablo, from a Testors set. It was a fun kit, made more so since the instructions were with the Porsche. It's in my stash, somewhere. The wheels were a mess, so they got stripped and sprayed with Duplicolor universal chrome. Pretty happy with it.

More pictures!

Washi tape is a paper based tape from Japan that comes in a LOT of patterns. The ones I got were a light birch pattern and more of a maple or oak woodgrain. It took me a couple of tries to get it right. I originally tried to trim out the darker parts on the kit and ended up pulling a chunk of paint out. Had to strip and repaint the whole thing. The ones I used worked well over Wimbledon white basecoat. I'll post some more pics later.

Just finished this one yesterday. This is the Revell kit, mostly box stock. I added some sand on the interior and a couple of beer cans (was going to put in a bikini, but couldn't find one to scale). The surfboard and the rack are handmade. Couldn't get the tie-downs to work without tearing the lugs off. :) The woodgrain is Washi tape, I used it like BMF.

I use their acrylics and they work well. I rate them much better than the Testors Acryl line.

I will definitely be trying this!

That's awesome!

Ooooh! Do want! The Stratos was always my favorite.

Wow! That looks amazing! I wish someone would re-release these.

Got in a large can of Chrysler Sublime Green spray paint. I'm gonna try it out tomorrow to make sure I don't get any crazy results with the plastic. If it works out, I can finish my Superbird.

Awesome job! Herbie looks awesome as an off-roader.

Just got in a '59 Cadillac Eldorado Seville kit. It needs a windshield and tires, but is otherwise complete.

I do a lot of brush painting, typically everything but the body on my cars gets brushed over spray primer. I agree with the others above: keep your paint thin. I use acrylics, mostly Revell, Testors (when I can find them) and Citadel/Games Workshop. Craft paints can work well too. I'll typically brush on a thin smooth coat and let it dry thoroughly, then once dry go over it with another coat.

Got in a Testors/Italeri 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II, brand new in the box and was still sealed with the Toys R Us tag still on it.

Very nice build! That's a tough kit and you made it look awesome.

Stunning!

No engine?! Denied! Looking good. I'm really interested in this kit.

Gorgeous job! Very nice!

Whatever I can get my meat hooks on. I might park one, once in a while, but I'll come back to it eventually. Especially once my skills can deal with it. Working on the 1/1400 Galaxy Class Enterprise (NCC-1701 D) right now, and also knocking the ugly off the Californian kit.
