  1. Mad Police Venus (Toyota Supra 1982-ish?) in progress The steering wheel broke, I will fix it when I add the driver figure in place. The black plastic on these kits are brittle, and I'm pretty sure this and the last Destroyer I built, the wheel snapped when I removed it from the sprue.
  2. Meh Were you building it as the Walter Wolf blue one? A motorized 1/16 model is pretty much an accident looking for a place to happen. I motorized a few 1/24 Japanese kits as a kid, when they came with the motor. All of them had spectacular crashes.
  3. I'm starting one of these right now. I had two at some point when I was a kid, and I happen to have the original Goodyear Wrangler tires I will be using instead of the blankwalls. First order of business was tossing the chrome wheels, air cleaner and intake into some Simple Green. These are the stock wheels, but they are white steelies. The air cleaner should be a light blue, and the intake bare aluminum. The valve cover is also aluminum. I plan on painting it, then wiping the paint off the lettering. Mods so far, I cut off the worst spare tire ever, and cut off the license plate mount, which will be recessed more. I replaced the gap in the frame and will mount one of the blankwalls as the spare.
  4. I've got the Cy-Kill kit, too. It is Lancer's ride armor in 1/15. You can get them pretty cheap, compared to the actual Mospeada kits, but you only get those two.
  5. Got it.
  6. Amazing work as usual. Your interior looks amazingly detailed. The body of these cars looks like someone got drunk and combined a Mini and an Anglia.
  7. Are those runs in the decal lettering, or just a blurry pic? Could you let it cure for a few weeks then polish it out?
  8. No... I might have broke the rules, it is a TV show.
  9. AE-86 Corolla and Mazda RX-2.
  10. Looks showroom fresh! Few people tackle the fender welting, yours looks superb.
  11. This is the old Imai 1/48 kit. I got the Monogram "Go-Bot Leader-1" version, but I know what it is now. I built this as a kid, before Season 3 of Robotech aired. It was the first mech/robot kit I ever built, and it came out awful. I painted it like the Go-Bot Boxart, and it had a lot of stuck joints, and later broke the hip joint. I later turned it into a wrecked plane in one of my primitive dioramas. Incidentally, I got it fully assembled now, just need some touch ups and detailing. Will probably start on the decals by this weekend. Oh, boy are there a lot of decals.
  12. Thanks. Initially, I lost the lens and left it as a broken headlight, but I found a headlight off a die-cast motorcycle and thought, "why not?"
  13. Where'd everyone go? Mad Police Venus (Toyota Supra 1982-ish?) in progress The steering wheel broke, I will fix it when I add the driver figure in place. The black plastic on these kits are brittle, and I'm pretty sure this and the last Destroyer I built, the wheel snapped when I removed it from the sprue.
  14. I took some photos last Sunday, and then some last night. While building the legs, I attached the wrong calves to the wrong thigh, luckily I did one then started the other, so I noticed straight away. And I didn't use CA . I went back to the fuselage and boxed in some open areas so it wouldn't look hollow when I was done. Here's the body and arms laid out: legs, in progress: Boxing in the hollow-ish torso/fuselage:
  15. Repo Man, and I knew that without the image name...
  16. That mecha came out great, Danny. I had to double back to see what you started with. I would've thought it was a newer Gundam. It's harder to do a clean mecha, than a dirty one, and your looks good. Seems pretty big for 1/100 scale.
  17. I'll be very disappointed if that VF-1S/A Strike Valkyrie doesn't show up in the All The Rest sub-forum when you crack it open.
  18. Fiat 500
  19. Anthrax - Indians
  20. Incredible work and photography. Looks like a real life car in quite a few shots!
  21. Those wheels look great! I would reconsider, at least on the factory wing. When the manufacturer puts a wing like that on a car, or like the Impreza WRX, or Lancer EVO, its for a reason. Especially since you're puttin' a bigger turbo on it. These aren't Ford Contours. http://youtu.be/Vyau3VUVVtI?t=2m40s There's a Straight Six Community build, if you wan't to throw your hat into the ring
  22. Skid Row - 18 and Life
  23. Faster Pussycat - Bathroom Wall.
  24. Nice work. Those decals remind me of stickers you'd use on fingernails The figure doesn't look bad, maybe larger pupils and a wash/shading at the legs and skirt convergence. I have a lot of 1/24 figures, and the eyes are the toughest part. Here's mine, I guess my eyes are a little off as well.
