  1. Never heard of that kind of paint but the results look good to me , the rust is very realistic . Cool looking model by the way !
  2. These cars look great in all white and yours turned out beautiful ! Great job !

    Thanks very much Sonny ! I masked the body and sprayed Tamiya Rubber Black , then cut thin strips of foil for the molding . It worked fairly well but did need some touch-up with a fine brush and some Molotow .

    Thanks Rich ! Thanks Bruce ! I wanted something close to the original Bronze Yellow color . Thank you Trevor ! I'm not a big fan of the show car polished finish either , most of my models are street driven cars .

    This the Aoshima MGB kit built using the C1 Models resin trans kit . Basically built out of the box , only things added are the license plate and a rubber gasket under the fuel cap . It's painted Tamiya Brilliant Orange , not super shiny but I kinda like it . Only thing I missed was the right side wiper should have been moved inward 1/4 inch , didn't notice that until it was too late . Thanks for looking , all comments welcome .
  8. Nostalgia at it's best , a real garage built dragster ! Great work !
  9. Thanks much Carl and Dann ! Haven't had much bench time lately but have been working on all the little details , lights bumpers wheels etc . . . Quit taking photos since it seems to be a waste of time to post anything . I'm hoping to have it finished by next week and will post a couple photos under glass .
  10. Awesome job !! I've seen the resin bodies for sale occasionally but still haven't bought one . How was the casting , did it need a lot of work ?
  11. Absolutely gorgeous in black ! Great job !
  12. That Snow White Pearl is gorgeous , Great job !
  13. Love those colors , super nice job Curtis !! I've got to build mine one of these days .
  14. Great Mach I Ken , love that Grabber Green ! It's probably an illusion from the photos but it looks like the front tires are larger than the rear !?!?
  15. Not sure what you mean by "handling" , I've been using sharpies for years and never had an issue with it rubbing off . Of course I've never picked up a model and rubbed the lights with my finger to test it .
  16. Lots of super nice detailing on the interior and the exterior trim , especially the emblems and taillights ! Sharp looking convertible !
  17. Well done Bob ! Nicely detailed and I really like the silver frame . . . and NO foil !
  18. Nice !! Your paint looks great !
  19. I have globaltoys as a saved seller but this morning nothing on ebay was working . Now it's all good and I see the script you're talking about , looks like it's the correct size so I'll order a set . Thanks !
  20. Thanks Rex , I've seen those but have only bought decals from globaltoy . I may get a set but right now the search function on ebay isn't working for me .
  21. Don't know about the accuracy and it doesn't matter , that's a neat looking submarine ! Nice job !
  22. Gorgeous '59 Luke ! As a certified El Camino fanatic (I've owned 1 '59, 2 60's, 1 '70, 1 '74, and 1 '82) I have to say that's the nicest "59 El Camino I've seen built , Congrats !
  23. Thanks again Nigel ! I've always wanted to try replicating the rubber gaskets but was always doubtful I could mask and spray the frames properly . A while ago I did it to spray some chrome trim and it worked okay so I went for it here .
  24. Sharp little MG Trevor , great paint and very nicely detailed especially the interior ! I've got a couple of the Aoshima kits and never cared for the one piece windshield/frame either . I'm currently converting one to an MGB-GT .
