Nytrozilla Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) How and where do you store your completed models ? And no , I am not planning on stealing them ! Ray, I know the answer to that question and the answer will blow you away. However, I won't steal Mr. Southside's thunder. It's actually more of a "whoosh / pop" than thunder. If you change your mind about planning The Model Car Heist Of The Century, I've got about a 5 year head start on the planning. My recommendation? Don't use Minions. They tend to go off-script. As always My Bro, you keep raising the bar. It's an honor to watch it happen. Edited October 13, 2017 by Nytrozilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragalley Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 John, this is absolutely fantastic! The detail is great, the execution is wonderful, and the final product is nothing more than sensational. Where did you get the scoop for this? It would be perfect for a AA/GD I’m starting to gather parts for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mecklm Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Unbelievable, as always! Have you ever done a tutorial on painting and weathering tires? I'd love to find out what colors you use and how many layers of weathering you apply. Not sure how it's possible but your tires look more realistic than 1:1 tires.
