    Tamiya BRZ

    Great looking paint color and finish. Like the chassis detail painting and interior.
  2. Wild looking little truck. Like the scratch-built chassis and interior roll bars.
  3. Beautiful looking paint work and the contrasting interior trim looks great.
  4. Beautiful paint color and finish. Great looking engine detailing and interior. Enjoyed watch your build, I haven't done a build of this nature in many years, but this has me thinking I've been missing out.
  5. As others have mentioned the Florida colors, another thought would be the sequence in which you apply the paint. I suggest starting with the lighter color, in this case the roof and rear deck areas. The reason is that the black main body color will better cover the tan or shade of white used. The lighter colored portions of the body will also require far less masking than the black portions. Just a thought for when you get to that point in your build.
  6. This shows how the roof line flows on to the rear quarter panels. Much smoother looking without the vinyl roof breaking up the lines.
  7. Great looking body conversion and paint work.
  8. Beautiful looking smooth finish. Like the flat black bumpers and window trim.
  9. Great looking kart and the trailer looks much better than expected in this kit.
  10. Beautiful looking paint color and finish. The body trim and interior look very cleanly done. The paint and decals on the engine look great. Also like this kit and glad to see that may have been reissued.
  11. The Gundam Marker EX pens work well and are reasonable priced. Chrome foil also works well.
  12. One suggestion for anyone with the newer cars that have these features. Whenever I'm overtaking someone in the next lane, I always look at their sideview mirror to see where the driver is looking, and you will notice a light flash in their mirror that alerts them that I'm in their "blind spot" and overtaking them. I have found it is very important to see what or where the other drivers are looking and get around them as quickly and safely as I can. Hard to comprehend how few drivers look in their rear and sideview mirrors. Situation awareness is really important when you are only a couple of feet away often going more than 70 mph.
  13. Great looking paint work and body trim.
  14. Beautiful looking paint surfaces and colors. The chrome trim looks great. Like the interior detailing.
  15. Like the tri-white wall tires and the roof rack details.
  16. Like the "sharp edge" styling. How is the rearward visibility?
  17. Well, we only have 22 shopping years to get new glasses for the next eclipse.
  18. Had a similar experience a few years ago. The credit card company had us reapply for a new card, but under the new higher interest rates. Somebody was having a good time at a spa in England according to what we were told. Banks and many other institutions are not keeping up with their security protection on their cards and other accounts. Third time and they are out, start looking for a bank that takes account security seriously.
  19. Might even look better without the vinyl roof treatment.
  20. Wonder if they will ever reissue the '62 Dodge Lancer GT or the Plymouth Valiant?
  21. Great color and like the 3/4-ton step side long bed configuration. Th rims almost look like the snap ring wheels that were in use at the time.
  22. Beautiful paint and trim detailing. Looks more like a picture of a real truck.
  23. I enjoyed watching your scratch building of the Ambulance accessories and details on this. Great looking smooth paint work and the trim and other body details.
  24. Beautiful looking paint and trim. The subject is one of the best-looking automotive designs and building it without the Bond accessories may prove to be the best way to display it in the future.
  25. My wife and I just went out on the patio to see the eclipse. We're just west of the KC Metro area and not getting the total darkness, but interesting all the same. We have been told to expect something along the 80% - 90% range. The brightness in the back yard is sort of like an overcast day, but looking thru the glasses we can see that the sun is pretty well covered by the moon. No Werewolves were sighted.
