Update, a few lamps and decals. My own colours on this one and mudflaps!

That's looking good! Do the rally light pods come with the kit or did you make them? Either way I like it.

Shot some createx black pearl. I really like this color. Very pleased how it shot and how the car looks. It's not perfect,  but I'm happy with it.

Ahh, so that's what the Createx Black Pearl looks like applied.  I got a bottle of it sight unseen thinking it was actually black....well until I saw it.

Nice color!

Thanks. This is the first time  I've used any of their colors, I really how it sprayed. I'm excited to see it with a clear coat, it's still wet in the photos.

Still on the fence with the interior, I was thinking black on black, now I'm not so sure.

Black would be good, but red would make it pop!

Modeling-wise I accomplished nothing, however I did get to spend a week with my toddler granddaughter. You never realize how tired you can be until a toddler is there to remind you. 

This upcoming week I'll be in the shop trying to remember what I was working on. I shot some enamel paint last Monday and with the 100 degree temps maybe it'll be ready to work with.

So today I accomplished finishing the Peterbilt I posted in WiP  (Kenworth with Ugly trailer .. I misnamed it) and posted it in Completed in Big Rigs. 

And doing some prepwork for the GTO in an earlier post laying on my work area.

I got more done on my GTO... such a trial in patience and I am hoping it turns out better than expected. I have some pics up in WIP of tonights work, and some of the photos are horrid and the paint on some items didn't lay right, so my thought on it is, Young driver not a lot of money or skills builds his first muscle car.

Successfully resin cast some extra Moebius F series truck transmissions. Now three of my planned builds will have the correct transmissions that actually came in the real truck.

Fantastic work!


I wrapped up a bugger of a kit.  So now I have a Datsun street truck and the Fairlane I have a post about on my bench. 

This will sit for a bit while I am out of town for work, then when I get back, I will start a 63 Chevy Impala and one of my Vicky's. 

I should focus on one, but 4 .. 4 is good for now....
