Beautiful!

Very nice job!

At least the pig part.

For Christmas from my family I got: Dan Gurney Lotus Indy Racer by AMT: AMT Dodge D-50: AMT 2017 50th Anniversary Camaro: And Monogram 1957 Corvette: (box is different):

Aoshima "Star Kebab" truck:

I painted the base color as a tan acrylic, then once dry gave it a wash of a very dark brown paying special attention to the seams. There was a little texture on the surface that seemed to pick up the wash well. I used the same technique on my 1932 Chrysler Convertible, but I did it with a more red tone. I've never posted that one, but I may put it up soon.

Very nice!!

Finished this one friday and I'm really proud of it. It's a LOT more complicated than the AMT kit. Engine is outstanding, frame is accurate and builds up from multiple pieces (X frame is 3-4 pieces by itself) and it has a 2-speed rear end. I'll post pics of the undercarriage later.

Heller Porsche 917. Saying the parts fit is "vague" would be a compliment. There's absolutely no positive place for location on some of it, mostly the suspension. I ended up keeping the wheels and tires and threw the rest away. I bought a Fujimi kit to replace it.

Good design! Reminds me of the Hornet from the original Wing Commander game.

Just finished this one today. I'm really proud of it. The paint is Duplicolor. I stripped the wheels and painted them steel, then picked out the center caps, trim rings and lug nuts with a chrome pen.

Would be nice to see them reverse engineer some of the old kits. Maybe the body shells with new underpinnings?

Lovely build!

I think I need to just start living at Ollies. Want the '51 Chevy Bel Air

I think there are a couple of different kits of this car that are curbside, but Aoshima makes a full detail one. Nit-pickers will notice the missing upper radiator hose. Carpet monster got it.

Just finished this one today. It came out really well. I love the folding headlights.

Looks awesome! Great job!

Looks great! Love the color!

Wow! I thought those were pics of the real car at first. Outstanding job!

Here's mine! 1972 Buick Skylark Custom 2dr hardtop, converted from the 70 GSX kit. Mine was Flame Orange with a white vinyl top. I cribbed the front bench from the 70 Road Runner and converted it from there. The other is a 78 Chevy Monte Carlo built from the Trumpeter kit. I'd like to take another crack at that one with the MPC kit.

They were both on jack stands, so I think they were just there as decoration out front. But the Model A had its lights on. Not sure if they were runners or not. They had a sedan installed over the bar and several bodies/engines around the inside. Food was outstanding.

And went here for dinner a couple of doors up:

Saw this in front of the Starbucks at Rookwood in Cincinnati earlier today:

I did a base coat of Revell Aqua Color steel, then a wash of a copper/brown mix for heat staining, then a light wash of flat black. The engine itself is Revell aluminum and a wash of blue/black.

I was gonna call this one either "Son of The Pink Pig" or "What a Mary Kay exec would drive". This was a fun kit. The entire engine was plated, but it's decent once it's stripped. It goes together really well. The paint is a Duplicolor white base coat, Tamiya pink and then Duplicolor pearl white on top. The red plastic bled through, so it's PINK. I'm actually really happy with it.
