    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.
  3. Deathgoblin
    I will definitely be trying this!
  4. Deathgoblin
    That's awesome!
  5. Deathgoblin
    Ooooh! Do want! The Stratos was always my favorite.
  6. Deathgoblin
    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.
  13. Deathgoblin
    Stunning!

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

    The first kits I remember were the 1/32 scale Monogram 55 Chevy with the slotted mags and blower: And the MPC Star Wars R2-D2 van:

    Got a 3D printed Akira class starship in from Ebay. Needs a little sanding, but if it builds up as nicely as the Kyushu and Stargazer, I'll be happy.
  19. Deathgoblin
    Nope, last two were from the LHS. I've tried ordering direct from BMF, but that didn't help.

    Built the Italeri/Testors 1933 Cadillac V16 Town Car. It's a fun kit, but keep in mind the main body is a multi-piece assembly. I found it easier to put the main part of the body together so I could sand/paint in one piece. I'll post pics as soon as I can.

    Another bad sheet of BMF. I can't seem to get anything that works. There are places on the new sheet where it's visibly not even stuck to the backing paper. I ended up sending a complaint to the company. I won't hold my breath for a reply.
  22. Deathgoblin
    Awesome job! The movie makes a great two-fer with Wizards by Ralph Bakshi.
  23. Deathgoblin
    Awesome! Curious to see how it builds up.
  24. Deathgoblin
    They also make tapes as well. Would be easier than trying to cut strips.

    I usually paint carburetors with a base coat of steel or aluminum. Once dry I dry brush them with a little gold acrylic paint, then give them a light wash of black acryilic paint to get the detail to stand out. Then pick out the details with chrome or gold, depending.
