Starting to get the bumpers and all accessories installed on the Hasegawa 67 VW Type 2 pick up project. Hoping to finish it up soon.

Doing work in my 1941 house truck. Things go slow because I keep making changes, but interior cabinets mostly done.

Absolutely awesome.

Good session at the bench. Success with embossing powder, got some detail work on the chassis done and the engine is in paint. Happy with this one so far

That is fantastic work, and just a quick clarification... it's white glue then the embossing powder and let dry? 

The frame/chassis work is super nice!!

I actually used thinned black testors paint. I had trouble with the Elmer's glue, I tried that three different times with no success, but I'll guarantee the problem was me. But yes, slightly thinned Elmer's is what I've read from the guys that are pros at it. Thanks for the compliment on the chassis, detail work like that is my "thing". I just zone out and it happens.

That's still a good tip! Options are good tbh.
