Ok we all know what went down a few weeks ago with me and others on this board.No need to relive it.There has also been alot happening in my life as well.Mainly alot of stress trying to remeber everything i have learned in school.And it has killed my free time to say the least.I have been labled a bad trader and have recieved alot of smack talk not by the ones involved in the trades but by ones that wanted to smack their gums around.I have been pushed way beyond my breaking point so i may go on break after this build.

This build was ment to be a ambulance but it will now become a window hearse to signifie the end of me posting builds online.

Great start, Kevin! That's the same kit I used to build my hearse. Please don't stop building. you are an awasome builder. I'd hate to see a man at the top of his building game quite because of what happaned. Build on, bro.

Peace out.

Well this may make alot of collectors mad but heres some info on the build.It no longer has a stock engine in it.It now has a N.A.S.C.A.R. spec engine from the revell collection dale earnhardt monte carlo(the one that there was only 10,000 made).There must be sacrifice to make a great machine.And i don't collect i build so hay it was ment to happen.

Pics.

kevin I think your model building is getting better but I truly think you have missed your calling.

I think you should have been an actor because you sure love the drama !!!

Thanks, bro. Yeah, the foil was tricky. The worst part was hand painting the chrome trim. Your is gonna be killer!

Dude use BMF all the way if you mess up then you can just pull it off and do it all over again instead of repainting the build :rolleyes: .

I'll have to give it a try. I bought a sheet of foil, once but it was terrible.

Look for a sheet with now folds what so ever.That is a perfect sheet no mess ups on the foil itself.Once you get the foiling down then its a cake walk trust me :rolleyes:

Whatever colour you choose, it will look awasome.

should be a cool build. IMO i dont think that you should stop building but use building as a release form the troubles bringing you down. put those feelings into the cars and pump out some sic killer rides.

He has a point. Skip the drama and just talk about models.

Keep up the good work, and tell the collectors you know somebody worse than you about tearing up rare kits.... A few more ain't gonna matter to me! ;)

Why do you you come back with a post like this ? You caused your problem no one else. We all like you model skills you have come along way with them . Stick with the builds and leave the rest out.

I like seeing rare (and supposedly collectable and valuable) kits built up... that's what they were, I don't know, MADE FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE! An unbuilt kit is just a set of building supplies... you don't see guys collecting cinder blocks, insulation, and 4 x 8's, do ya? No- well, they 'collect' it until they have enough to build a garage or a shed or whatever, but they don't gather it all just for the sake of collecting it! To me, that's about the same thing as buying a kit and NOT building it!

If this is, in fact, your final build- what a way to go out! I dig all kinds of hearses, I dig your builds, and you pulled out another masterpiece. But I'd be willing to put money on the fact we'll be hearing from you again, Evilone... that is IF I had any money to put down on it! (I keep trading my money for model kits... pretty sweet deal, huh?) :lol:

How much do those things run now$$?

ok there are many versions of hearses johan has made.I will give you the price of the top three favorite kits.

Heavenly hearse:$75-$100

Ambulance/Hearse:$45-$75

Hauling hearse:$100-$150

All black molded hearse:$200 +

Hope this helps
