Deathgoblin

I wish I had pictures of my first car. I had a 1972 Buick Skylark 2-door hardtop. Good memories, though.

I've got a set of these. I use the smallest diameter one to work the foil into places where I'd be afraid it would tear first, then use something smaller to push it into the corners. They're really handy.

Does the original car still exist? I could see that kit selling like crazy.

I've got a Chrysler Turbine in my stash. Considering that it was probably made about the time the Turbine was a new car, The kit is AMAZINGLY detailed. It has: a multi-piece engine separate exhaust ducts (exhaust isn't molded into the floorpan or the rear differential) opening doors/hood/trunk molded headlight buckets with clear lenses instead of the molded chrome working steering with individual springs folding front seats There are kits produced today that aren't as detailed.

1972 Buick Skylark Custom Hardtop with a 350-2. I miss that car.

I've done the flocking and the embossing powder. I have to say it's embossing powder for the win. The flocking seems to be too loose to really emulate carpeting as far as I'm concerned. Plus if the powder doesn't come in the correct color, you can paint it.

Really nice work on this one. Looks outstanding so far.

The scratchbuilding work that people have been doing lately is amazing.

I think I've got a nice mix. Revellogram, AMT, Lindberg, Tamiya... I've even got an Aoshima in my stash.

Looks awesome! Great work.

I got a tool carousel for my desk, finally. It's unbelievable how much space was being taken up by my tools. Thanks to Mom and Pampered Chef.

Great looking car. I bet that thing would move.

Looks great so far. I love the Martini colors.

I used to own a 78 Monte Carlo and I loved that car. Looking at this kit, though, makes me kinda glad I put up with the quirks and built the Trumpeter kit.

Pictures? I'd love to see what these look like.

Nice work! I'll keep an eye on this.

I've used it a few times and prefer the embossing powder to flocking. A 1oz. container will last a long time. I've done 2 or 3 models out of the bottle of red that I bought and there's still most of the bottle left.

I'm actually in the process of making some decals at home. I'm building one of the Lindberg Charger police car kits, and I'm setting it up as Ohio Highway Patrol. Yeah, I can buy the decals, but I want to at least try to make them first.

I've been on here a couple of years so far, lurking and then actually posting. I've never really noticed anything major that would cause the board to go away.

That's pretty cool. Let's see more.

Bright and sunny, was about 75 today. We're waiting on some rain.

Looks like a nice kit.

Gorgeous interior. I can't wait to see the rest of it.

I've had a couple so far. The IMC/Testors 48 Ford convertible turned out pretty good. I've got a Lindberg/Aurora Triumph GT6 in my stash. I might do it next.

Radioshack should have them.
