Still gotta print the wing, and then clean up that tiny little frame… Here’s some really nice finished builds by the creator of the file: That's pretty cool! Looks like a fun little project! 1
NOBLNG Posted January 25 Posted January 25 (edited) Made some adjustable screw jacks. Still have to make some cradles for the tops yet. Edited January 26 by NOBLNG 9 1
mchook Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) I've been of a roll doing little stuff after building the bar for my trailer last week. Today I decided to build a bench for my garage. Edited January 27 by mchook 5
slusher Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Real nice work Mark, bench looks good. I like your tools and parts on it! 1

OldNYJim Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Not today, but a build for the annual 24 Hour build…I’m not a Facebook guy (and that’s primarily where it’s coordinated), so I guess I’ll post them here 1/25th Outlaw Kart from a file by @Stevens19 right here on the forum…I’m planning a more detailed build of one of these, but it was a detailed enough kit to be a blast to build in a day: 7

Now, it's even cooler! Nice work, Jim! 1
johnyrotten Posted January 31 Posted January 31 More rust work. Still have to seal it, I've had enough for tonight. 9
Sledsel Posted February 4 Posted February 4 This was not accomplished only today but took several days. I'm building a 49 Ford and did not want bumper guards, so with some work I was able to remove them and they came out pretty good. I do have a few other 49 n 50s so I went out and bought a resin kit and casted them. They actually came out pretty good considering I've never really cast anything other than some valve covers 4 1

dino246gt Posted February 8 Posted February 8 I love the smoothed bumpers for the '49/'50 Fords! I've made a few myself for other projects, but they were "one-offs" no copies. 1
oldcarfan Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I got nothing model related today, but I did unload 72 12x12 red cement pavers from a trailer to the back yard. A lot harder than my model building!
Straightliner59 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Sprayed this purple I mixed with One-Shot, cut with lacquer thinner. It's taking longer to dry than I'd hoped, but knew that was a possibility, with the One-Shot. Needs a little work, then another coat. 3
Spottedlaurel Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Got my current WIP Fujimi Isuzu 117 Coupe very near to completion, hopefully I'll have it Under Glass here next weekend. 4
Lownslow Posted February 11 Posted February 11 been itching for widebody builds so i rushed two to the finish just to get to this project. 3

oldcarfan Posted February 11 Posted February 11 I bought some organizing bins and found a few supplies that I forgot I'd bought.
catpack68 Posted February 12 Posted February 12 (edited) I’m almost finished with a Salvinos Jr Next Gen NASCAR Camaro kit I painted about a year ago and started back working on a few weeks ago.These things are downright intimidating and finicky to build.I almost wanted to throw this one back in the box😂 I hope to have it finished soon.
