Looks great!

I've got Dr. Krook's Medicine Show and a very damaged Der Guber Wagen. I'm going to eventually try to put the Wagen back together. These are neat kits and I agree, they should be reissued. Great Job!

Was in Grayson KY today, and saw a car lot off a side street, but noticed some classic cars. They had a Kaiser sedan, a VW Bug convertible, Bug conversion pickup, a 59-60 Edsel Wagon, a Lincoln coupe (Mk. 3?) Porsche 924 and a 59 Ford hardtop convertible. Got pics. Oh, and a hearse.

New one just finished today. It fought me a little. I somehow snapped the top of the windshield frame when I was removing the braces. Overall it came out pretty good.

Engine looks fantastic!

All of the above and then some. It's also a means to keep my artistic skills sharp, and I don't just build cars. I've got a couple of shelves of starships, a few shelves of anime girls, and I've got an entire Eldar (Aeldari?) Swordwind army for Warhammer 40K with the Avatar and Phoenix Lords. Oh, and mecha.

Just finished this one today. Assembly reminded me of the 55 Chevy, I'd like to get another kit and take a 2nd crack at it.

Nice Gundam!

I wish Revell would re-pop this one. I had one way back when, it was a great kit.

I'm working on a 1953 Corvette Kit, and the tampo printed white walls were printed on the wrong side. Paint wouldn't come off without damaging the tire, so I decided to paint over it. I mixed semigloss and flat black about 50/50 with a dab of leather brown. Matches perfectly.

Outstanding job! Your interior is perfect.

Very beautiful!

I work from home taking incoming calls, so I sit at a desk in my room for 8 hours a day. Since I'm in there by myself all day every day, I work on kits. Gives me something to do with my hands.

I think the best answer is whatever works best for your process. Personally, I'm all over the place. I'll primer most of the kit while it's on sprue then take things off and paint them, sometimes I'll paint things and then have to unpaint a little to assemble, Small parts will sometimes get painted on the sprue because I have hammer hands.

Just finished this today. It was a fun kit overall and goes together pretty well. I HAD to swap out the engine, though. The rest of the car was so mean looking, but had a weenie looking engine. I dumped in a 409 with Hillborn (spelling?) injection. It really didn't take much work to make it fit. The color is Tamiya metallic orange.

Wow! Beautiful!

For me, the order is the K5 Blazer, The VW T3 and then Billy's Camaro. Want all 3, though.

Do Want!

This is a surprisingly fun kit. I'd like to get another Hasegawa (?) XJS, but this one builds up really nicely. Excellent job!

I watch Car Wizard sometimes, but my favorite is "Customer States" by Just Rolled In. Those crack me up.

Dusting is the other one. I'm going to start a new cycle of dusting soon. It'll be much easier than letting it go for a long time.

Just finished this one today. I think the paint came out better. Learned a new technique on getting the paint polished: I cut a q-tip in half and chucked it in my cordless Dremel with a little Novus 2 on it. It's great for getting into small areas. I made a bezel for the gauges and opened up the passenger side window

Looks great!

3M Scotch brand superglue for most assemblies. Testors liquid adhesive for things I want to weld together permanently (like engine blocks), their clear parts adhesive for windshields and lights and liquid version of the tube glue for stuff I want to place precisely and can take time to dry.

This is a kit that would definitely benefit from some aftermarket decals.
