  1. :D. Well it's pretty obvious what's been on my mind. *Slaps Forehead*
  2. Done with GTAV?? No way. Story, sure. What about online?? I've been meaning to pick me up an F50. Always been a favored car. Looking good thus far.
  3. Update Time: Got the interior, engine and chassis attached to the body. Took a little tweaking to get the narrow bottom over the chassis and interior tub but once done, it fits nicely to hold everything in place. I also tried my hand at polishing for the first time. Considering my past paint jobs, I'm extremely happy with the results so far. Let me know what you think!!
  4. Thanks for the comment! Thanks for the comment. To the both of you, I really appreciate it. As far as the kit goes, it's went together very well. My only real problem with the kit is the interior. The interior tub doesn't have great detail as far as where to put the front seats, back seat and still being able to use the Midsection Roll Cage Bar included. Due to that lack of instruction and clarification, I opted to place the front seats where I felt they should be and left the roll cage out to lean more towards a "Mean Street Machine". Otherwise, from what I've completed its went together great. Now I can't speak on the front/ rear suspension as I haven't started working on it yet. That will be handled this week. And that's a good idea on the thread. Never even thought about it. Thanks for the input.
  5. BOOOOOMMM!!!! I would LOVE to hear more on how you did the flares. This is a great build thus far!
  6. Small update. Been a productive day for me. I used the decals from a 2008 Dodge Charger Super-Bee model.
  7. I've been doing this and stuck my finger on top of the thread to hold it down, only to realize a few seconds later the my finger was now glued to the entire seat. *Slaps Forehead Moment*
  8. Thanks for the comments guys. Got the interior finished early this morning. Here's the final product. Next on the To-Do list is to clear the body and begin chassis and stance work.
  9. Well... Had a few hold backs on this model. First and foremost the paint ended up bubbling. So I sanded it down for a respray, only to find that one of my Co-Workers stole my paint. So after fuming about that for a couple of days and investing in a paint cabinet with locks, I started to build again. This is where I have gotten so far and will hopefully have more done tomorrow. Any/ All thoughts, comments, and questions are welcome! Hemi- Almost Completed Interior This is my 2nd time doing plugs so be gentle lol Fresh Paint
  10. Think I just answered my own question. Shows how well I pay attention. lol
  11. Evo!!!!! Color suits it well. Chassis looks great. Excited to see this played out. Is it a Tamiya kit?
  12. Thanks guys. Comments are greatly appreciated.
  13. lol Gene. He probably posted in the wrong section to begin with and Harry had to move it to here. There are a couple of ways to do a black wash on grilles, wheels, etc. 1) Thinning down Flat Black Acrylic with water like mentioned above. Once dry, you a Q-Tip or Cotton Ball to rub the black away from areas where its not needed. You can even dip the end of a Q-Tip in Alcohol for instant removal. DO NOT SOAK THE Q-TIP!! Alcohol will eat the plastic. If you use is scarcely, it will be fine. Doesn't take much trust me. 2) Depending on the size of the grill, I will sometimes spray it flat black and before it has a chance to fully dry, wipe away the areas you don't want covered using a Q-Tip or Cotton Ball.
  14. Yea I just checked out that thread. Going to pick some up for my next model. Here's the color:
  15. Awesome on many levels. Good lessons to be learned from building models. Lessons that many children lack today (sounds weird to say since Im only 24 lol). Great job! Have to agree on the color choice. Its purty. Got the name of it?
  16. More pictures:
  17. Thanks for the input. I've been meaning to get this future that everyone talks about but I've seen so many different labels, I always forget what the product looks like.
  18. Thanks guys.
  19. Just a small piece of scrap sprue and 32 gauge wire.
  20. Here's my Aoshima Nissan Silvia S15. There is a few imperfections in the paint but hopefully it's not that noticeable. Regardless, I'm happy with this build. Enjoy and let me know what you think. I'll take better pictures later and put them up.
  21. Thanks fellas. Got her done just a little bit ago short of polishing it up. Few imperfections in the paint but otherwise I'm happy with it. Here's the Under Glass Link. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80599
  22. Laying some decals down today.
  23. Finally got some paint on the body. Changed my thought on Airbrushing. Still working on that. Here's the very small update.
  24. Got an update. Be the last one till Monday. Door Panels First Coat Cherry Red Second Coat Cherry Red Third/ Final Coat Cherry Red
  25. Thanks for the heads up. I figured it would spray like Rust-O-Leuns Double Coverage which I am very familiar with.
