  1. It's amazing what can be done with that equipment.
  2. Super nice Corvair.
  3. I myself would not buy one either in kit form or a real one. Just one guys opinion.
  4. Another model I am building for my oldest grandson . This one will be mounted on a board and put up on a shelf where he won’t be able to get at it . ( maybe ) Not building it as I would if I was keeping it but not trying to make a mess . That kid loves trash trucks . Not sure why . Engine done ( 33 pieces ) . Cab was painted Tamiya racing white with a green roof . Trash body will be that same green . Will make some signs for it with his name on them . So far a pretty nice kit .
  5. Cool project, I will be looking in .
  6. Be safe Jim !
  7. Thanks fellows. You are so right ! I always have a vision on how my model should turn out but there is always something that just messes up . Always my fault. Paint and final assembly are my two biggest problems it would seem.
  8. Great slice and dice on that roof !
  9. The paint on that one looks pretty good. The one I bought had a clear vinyl/plastic strap across the roof that left a mark that I could not remove. Also I had the same problem with the red painted parts that were sealed with the plastic wrap.
  10. Thanks Bob, and yes it will end up in pieces. I have just started the AMT trash truck for him also as he loves to watch trash pu. This one will be mounted on a base in a simple diorama and put on a shelf to discourage him from thinking it is a play toy. ( good luck with that )
  11. I did finish it. I thought I posted in the Under Glass Section. I will try to remember to drag it out and post a pic here. Did not turn out that good, I should have molded the body pieces.
  12. Thank you Larry. Since going to my young grandson I wasn't as careful as I otherwise may have been.
  13. Nice to see you building again Bill you always have good ideas.
  14. A simple little between project that can be done in days . 3 in this case . Wings are dumb but I thought about cutting the posts off an filling but as I wanted simple and it is for my grandson I passed on that . I did fill the sink hole in the hood a bit . Used some tire decals and other decals I had in my decal box . Paint is Testors Purple with Duplicolor 1 K clear . I pretty sure my grandson won’t grasp the idea of display only and it will be back to parts in a matter of minutes .
  15. Very nice model. Looks to have great detail.
  16. Thank you Chris, it was a battle.
  17. Good looking Mustang.
  18. Everything is looking great !
  19. Another one of my favorite cars perhaps because it reminds me of a Daytona. You have my attention Bill !
  20. Good looking drag car.
  21. Thank you very much Ken. Doesn't look too bad in the glass cabinet.
  22. I like it ! Nice clean model. I could see that running down the beach.
