Question about creating better headlights
Deathgoblin replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I've done that on a few. Drill out the headlight to about the diameter of the googly eye (they come in any size). Cut the back of the eye off and toss the pellet, use the front of the eye as the new headlight reflector and chrome it, then pop in a lens over it. -
Looks great!

Just finished this one today. It's a snapper kit, but it was fun and went together well. It came out pretty good. The interior is a custom mix indigo blue.

I'm excited about the SNW Enterprise and the Cerritos. Big Star Trek nerd.

I did this one a few years ago, but I never posted it. This is the Lindberg kit, which is exceptional. The decals were missing, so I made her OHP decals from the printer.

Gorgeous car! Great job!

This one is a recovered glue bomb, so she's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with the results. When I started, she was badly painted, there was glue on pretty much every surface, 3 of 4 wheels were broken off, the rear suspension was installed upside down outside the leaf springs, one headlight was missing... Etc. I pulled some parts off an unsalvageable Torpedo Phaeton. I used an Xacto chisel to cut the engine mounts so I could rebuild and paint the engine, then drilled and pinned it all back together. The colors are Tamiya pearl green and racing green.

Flooded Roads
Deathgoblin replied to Bugatti Fan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
We here in Ohio just got hit with the remains of a hurricane. My brother sent me video of the street in front of his house, and how he now has riverfront property. They had a huge amount of flooding. -
Just finished this one today. It's a difficult, fiddly kit but came out pretty good (I still got a wheel in the air). The color is Tamiya metallic purple.

Spazstix candy blue paint
Deathgoblin replied to bbowser's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I'm glad someone asked about this one. I was eyeing the candy purple a couple of days ago. -
Okay, back to the regular stuff. Fun kit. It's Duplicolor pearl white over a white base. I stripped all the chrome except for the mirror facings. I made a turn signal stalk and shift lever for the interior and took the tub apart to detail the doors. Worst part was the tailgate. The one in the kit was for a stepside, so it was about 1/2 inch short on either side, so I extended it with pieces of styrene.

The others are the Phoenix Lords, founders of the various Aspect Warrior forces The Avatar: Maugan Ra - Founder of the Dark Reapers Aspect: Bharroth - Founder of the Swooping Hawks Fuegan - founder of the Fire Dragons: Jain Zar - Howling Banshees Karandras - Striking Scorpions: Asurmen - Dire Avengers:
