  1. That is so cool Tulio, might just have to drag my AMT 57 Ford out of the cupboard and build it !
  2. Very nice Michael
  3. Very impressive Frank
  4. Another top build Marcos, your chassis detailing is 'spot on'
  5. Looks good Teddy, like the Diorama you got there too It's a matter of practice when it comes to the Photos mate, I use 'A3' size white paper when I take the pictures of my builds with good lighting as well. I use to take photos of my completed builds in a Diorama scene, but it seemed to distract from the subject. Personally it's up to the individual Cheers Ray
  6. Good job Ken, the colour and the rims look good together
  7. Very nice Adam, just like how I want to build mine when I get around to it
  8. Wow, like far out man, cool paint Teddy

    sprint cars

    Awesome Sprintcars guys, love the cartoon one David This one I built a few years ago, I updated the Pennzoil kit using parts from 'The Parts Box'
  10. Looks good to me Tulio Depends on the colour sometimes I guess, darker colours you can get away with it (to a point), light colours you have to experiment like you have. Most of my builds I have used a 50/50 mix of thinners and flat black, but recently I've just started to use the Tamiya panel line accents, there's black or grey, once again depending on the colour. Nice build mate
  11. Thanks guys, comments much appreciated!

    Datsun 510

    Nice one Jonathon, these use to be very popular 'Down-Under' in their day.
  18. Tamiya TS-54 Light metallic blue with a dull coat guys Thanks for all the further comments guys, much appreciated
  19. Cheers Teddy, yeah this would have to be one of my favourite US muscle cars, glad you like it, thank you mate!
  20. Top job Nick, great combo
  21. Thanks Ross, must had a 'Homer' moment during construction, nevertheless all sorted now with updated photos....thanks mate
  22. Finally off the bench, Revell 'Motor City Muscle' kit from 2006. I read somewhere due to a licensing issue the 'Trans Am' decals were not included, so I had a friend make some for me and a fantastic job he did too! After looking at countless pictures of this car, I settled for the gloss white paint & blue stripes. rather than using a clear coat, I decided to polish the paint using the Tamiya coarse then finishing compounds. Colour is 'Mr Colour ' white and the interior is 'Tamiya' TS-54 light metallic blue (with a dull coat) also using a Revell flat blue as a secondary colour. Engine was enhanced using a pre-wired dizzy and dominator carby from 'Pro-Tech' and I did a subtle 'drop' at the front end. I was going to use Pegasus Chrome Ts for the wheels but settled for the factory rims which were de-chromed and repainted silver. Thanks for looking guys . Ray
  23. Nice replica, well done!
  24. Good job Tulio, like the weathering, very convincing!
  25. Impressive build JC, the other day I watched a doco on TV about these cars, great viewing!
