  1. This is one that I just finished and got off the table a couple of days ago. I have bought so many of these Pro Sportsman kits the last few years to rob parts from them that once in awhile I just decide to build one as it is (a few mods of course). This one is done as a curbside and the way its pictured here is the way it is. It got lots of small PE pieces, resin blower and hat, scratch blower restraints,and so on. I made the front wheels from some old mags in my parts box by reversing them to expose the smooth backside and painted them black. I added some brake detail and I used some nice wheels outback from a diecast. I made a new wing and added some wedge to the body to give it a lowere looking stance. I used MM paints and clear and a combo of Slixx decals. Thanks for looking!802.jpg795.jpg804.jpg805.jpg801.jpg

  2. No secret on making the chutes, tarps, oil rags and so on. I don't use any molds or white glue and water. I simply cut the Kleenex tissue in the desired shape and I paint it on both sides with acrylic craft paint (Apple Barrel brand) purchased at Wal Mart. Its messy painting the tissue and the tissue will tear but you can master it with some practice. While the tissue is wet with paint I put it in place (like on a deck lid of a race car) and it will take on a natural shape and wrinkles. If you happen to get some (wet paint) on the paint of the model simply wait til the tissue and paint dries and use a wet Q-tip to remove any unwanted paint on your project. The only trick is...Just to place the painted tissue in place while its still wet. Thats it!
