Primed my 71 Rally Nova project this afternoon.The wheels and tires are Zman items Ive had for awhile.The LS engine and 6 speed trans is from TX3d Customs with an Iceman Collections LS mid rise intake. I will be using an old set of Fred Cady Rally Nova decals I’ve had for years. Going to try to finish this one up before the end of the year.

Looking sharp!!

Splashed some pearl tangerine on this Cheyenne then assembled the bed. I'll respray the bed once the pieces have melted together.

That's looking cool! 

I've been kicking some ideas around for this kit too.  Probably be one I focus on next year.

I've been working with this thing while waiting to get some primer for the 'Vette...... Pretty complete mock-up this time!

I made this cutoff saw holder/mandrel for the mill, in spite of @iBorg's advice against it?. I can use it as a slitting saw, to a point, too.

Just finished polishing this one.  It’s molded in red, and bled through in a couple of areas, but I think I can live with it.  Still needs some detail painting, but it’s getting really close now.  
Uh oh.  I better find an excuse to shelve it pretty quick, or I’ll break my streak of not finishing builds.?

 

Here’s a sneak peek mock up.

This is the best Boxster build I have sen ever !

Not model car work, but related. I built these little holder drawers for my Vallejo and AK paints using some scrap wood and. 1” hole saw.

Thank you!   I appreciate your feedback.   

It's all finished and posted in the under glass section now.

Looks sharp! I need to look at my exposure, thats for sure, my tires does not get that crisp.

I finished my second build of the year, this Porsche, then I started sorting through one of three huge boxes of kit parts that has followed me around for several years. So far I found enough parts to build a parts box Monogram F-350.

Got another one off the bench

 

[JJ Deuce]

working on another $13 Ollie's kit. Building the Bonneville curbside, just to practice some paint and other techniques.  I got some primer on the body, and tried the embossing powder for carpet in the interior.

Looks awesome man. Did the hood come warped a little though or something else going on?

Hood is warped just enough to say so…….

Nearly done, a few decals should do it after cleaning up around window seals, Fujimi 356 1500GS.

[Brandon17]

I’m working on three projects and about to start a fourth but any night I get to hit the bench, which is tough with my schedule, is an accomplishment. Wish I could do it everyday!

This isn’t a complex enough project to justify it’s own thread, but I’ve been messing with a salt-flats Bug for a few weeks and got the urge to lay down some candy on it tonight…

That looks awesome.  Can’t wait to see the finished product.?

[PatW]

The kit decals fell apart so using stash number plates and tyre decals, tyres first..

Thank you!!  I need to figure out an ‘interior’ - this is curbside 3D printed body so there’s not a LOT that is visible anyway, but it needs a seat, dash and steering wheel at least…
