I was able to get my Hasegawa Type 2 Pick Up painted today. The top is Tamiya Pure White and bottom color is Tamiya Lin Gray. I also got the fender painted for the C1 Models Beetle fender scooter Tamiya Red. I hope to have it all in clear soon?

Looks awesome!  Who makes the push bar bumper thingy?

Finally got around to printing a custom body kit for the AMT Chevy OBS, i wanted to run big wheels without having to slam it

[RW033]

Interior for my ‘39 Chev coupe is almost done finally. First time doing something other than box stock. Used leather from an old car seat for the doors and dash, may remove it from the dash and just paint it brown. Seats, steering wheel, arm rests, window crank and carpets are 3D printed - door, panels are styrene

Just did the silver trim on my 1961 Galaxie "Sho Gal" show car. Not going to reveal too much as next you see it will be on the Model Cars Under Glass section.

Got the 65 close to the finishing stage

I absolutely love love love when oversized 'factory' wheels are used on a build......... Those big Firebird wheels really set that Pontiac off!

[PatW]

Nearly done, BTTC Volvo S40 by NuNu. Decals over the next few days.

Thanks, the wheels were a recent change never planned on firebird wheels but i figured nobody had done them in scale or 1:1 so i went for it and really happy with the results

made some 14x8 appliance wheels for my old school build

I wanted to try out my new airbrush on something other than the project that I’m working on for my dad.  This Mustang has been stalled since the early 00’s, and needed a repaint, so it became the Guinea pig.  Shot with Mr. surfacer black to start with.  
The airbrush was great with the fan cap.  Much more even coverage.

Not technically model car work…but I added some storeage units to my desk drawer. I had a sliver of space left so…

That looks like a very smooth coat of primer...... almost shiny! There's a reason 1:1 professional spray guns have a fan pattern, it just does a better job at even coverage......

I can’t take too much credit.  That Mr. Surfacer 1500 is amazing stuff!?. I’m really getting into the Mr Hobby stuff.

Turned out alright. Glad it’s done as it’s not Tamiya’s best kit IMO. Few mistakes, and rear view mirror gone because my son lost it ?‍♂️.  Rear tail lights cut from sprue still showed through, and wrong Porsche decals on rims as I didn’t have the proper ones, and the kit ones don’t show good on black. Not to shabby for the $14 I paid for it. Porsche GT3 in Mexico blue from gravity colors.

We have guests in town for the next few weeks, so my benchtime is basically zero…but I lined up a couple of simple projects for some of our downtime…

Building the Atlantis Groovy Grader - cleaned up the body and ‘frame’ (aka: bent banana) and shot some Createx color:

And I’ve been casually working on a couple of these three-wheeled vans for a future build - one nice and clean, one a little more beaten-up:

The Bond Three-Wheelers look great!

Delete Please they are Reliant Three Wheelers!

Today, I washed,  dried on started on a super sized (1/24) Fiat 695S, yes as big as that.

Both on the back and the front are mould lines that need carefull sanding.

Got clear coat on my Mustang body this morning.  Came out very nice, but it’ll need a little bit of wet sanding/polishing to really bring out the shine.

[JollySipper]

The Coyote X got it's final primer today! I would tell you guys that this is Rustoleum, but you might get upset!    I'll be using Krylon for the color coats, so there's little worry of the paint attacking the primer...... I haven't sanded it yet, may do that this evening so it will be ready to paint tomorrow.

Here's the Coyote body parts in paint! It's CoverMaxx Banner Red, it's a non-metallic like the real car is/was......... I'll let this set up for a few days, maybe a week, then I'll wet sand it and add some clear......
