Been awhile

[dougp]

Haven't been around much the last few years due to family health issues, building a new house and life in general. I still managed to get a few builds done so I thought I would post up a few from the last 4 years.

First off a couple of Corvettes. My take on the Aerowagon and what I thought would be a Petty Garage vette.

A club HotWheels challenge build

And a few others

Good that you may be getting some bench time again. I like your build style. The Aerowagon Corvette is an unusual color, and the Petty version is a beautiful looking Blue. I especially like the Jeeps. The trail ready on especially. We have an '09 JK in the garage with the Skid Plates half worn thru.

Thanks for all the comments.

Alexis the trailer was scratch built using the Jeep snap kit. The trailer frame was scratch built. I used three kits in total for parts and the scratch building. The fourth kit, Monogram's CJ7 remaining parts where used to build the Jeep gasser.

Oh Wow!  That scratch built trailer is Da Bomb!  Fantastic work.

The Aerowagon was painted with paint left over from the Rubicon, Tamiya Light Sand, with several coats of pearl clear and clear. The PG Vette is Tamiya metallic blue over Model Masters diamond dust with several coats of pearl clear and clear. I've picked up Tamiya's light red, green and blue pearls to experiment with. I love the depth and extra metal flake the pearl adds to metallics.
