Nytrozilla Posted October 13, 2017 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
dragalley Posted October 13, 2017 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.
jeff f Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 WOW John , it just gets better and better ! Your weathering detail is spot on and looks so real . Love it that your plug wires don't defy gravity .Jeff.
mecklm Posted October 13, 2017 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.
Codi Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 And 10 minutes later I'm still staring at the pics. Thanks for the posts and pics from all angles John. A lot to absorb................wow! cheers, tim

Hi Mike.......yes,I have many times.......I use "Folk Art" Black and Dark Gray Acrylic paint that you can buy from Michael`s ........couple of layers of black and then maybe 5 to 6 light coats of the Dark Gray
