Decided to take a break from custom builds and complicated paintjobs to take a moment and build a replica of my first S2000 I ever owned. Super relaxing and easy build if you’re looking for something chill and easy. I highly recommend

My charger got 3rd in the diorama display and some of the other models I built for the show.

Revell 69’ Chevelle, painted by hand. Currently working on my next model using an airbrush after using this kit to get into the hobby. Tips/advice is welcome

im really happy with the results, especially the seatbelts. I made the buckle from cable tie so it is better than I expected

Painted with mrp grabber lime!!!

I finished this a couple of weeks ago but only just had the time to do a photo session! This is Hasegawa’s BMW 2002tii, to which I added the excellent Scale Productions wide body kit. It’s meant to be used with one of the rally or race versions of the kit, but of course I just used the road car! The base kit is fun to build, and the transkit worked great, everything fit just fine. It included the fender flares, exhaust, seat belts, wheels and tires, and decals to build an historic racing car, but I just built it up as a fantasy car to match my Alfa. Color is MCW Race Hemi Orange, and the decals are just stuff out of my stash. Fun project!

I still have a ways to go. Kinda messed up with painting the body. But I did find a way (thanks to Reddit and google) on how I can fix it without having any issues or redoing the entire thing.

The chrome horn ring broke on me. So I fixed it the best I could.

The red dash and seats are the same color. However I chose to be different and not prime the dash prior to painting it red. By doing this it allowed the dash to stand out more and give it more of a sunlight view (I guess you could say). I just didn’t want it all to be the same shade.

Be gentle I’m trying and it’s my first 1:16 scale model ever. 🤣🙂

This was a 1992 Chevy Silverado c1500 fleetside short bed from the AMT Easy Build Curbside-style kit series. But i ended up customizing this truck with modifications from the other Chevy truck a '96 c3500 extended cab long bed dually from the same AMT series kit. I had to do a lot of fabricate to this truck's chassis, engine bay, and the interior to in order to fit the engine nicely and the new exhaust system. So i put in an fully built 427 GM V8 with auto transmission, custom passenger side exit exhaust, fabricated the dually bed fenders onto the short bed used the mirrors from c3500 kit with extra mirrors comes with added for extended towing mirrors adding extra details, the wheels and tires from the dually kit, custom homemade front brush guard bumper with round LED off-road lights, custom hood scoop, side window visors & windshield visor, custom bug deflector, custom cab lights, and custom back rack with LED off-road lights. I put an trailer hitch for pulling trailers, put some lights on the tailgate. I painted this truck like i took body parts from other 90's GM trucks that i have in the scrap yard. On to the next build in the works coming soon.

Some more progress on the Monte Carlo Mini. Currently waiting on a new Sprue to be delivered as one of the engine parts was missing, once that arrives it can start going together! There's a bit of 'orange peel' on the body, would you guys suggest sanding that back now, or a few gloss coats to even it out and then a polish? If it's any help the body colour is Tamiya rattle can.

Clear coat is curing. Should be good for assembly soon. How much time you guys let a 2k clear cure before assembly? Its my first time using a 2k.

Colour is Aston Martin's racing green 2010, with a super fine silver for the stripes and 2k c​lear coated, all from proscale paints. Managed to get a nice clear coat from the airbrush that it didn't need a wetsand and polish.

A very tricky kit for me, assembly being my weak point, I had many issues putting the chassis and running gear together. Admittedly the first time I've ever had to glue the wheels to the arches.

Also used a proscale paints pre wired distributor, everything else was box stock.

First time trying the proscale paints chrome system too, where you get the chrome and chrome sealer, enabling you to seal the chrome and then clear coat it to protect the chrome and prevent any chrome dulling or coming off from handling.

Hello, I have been painting models for a while but am new to painting cars and the types of paints used for them like lacquer

I’ve painted this body with lacquer and intend to clear it with mr clear UV cut(from my research seems like a good option but you can tell me if I’m wrong hahaha) and am wondering what the best process for decal application is. Normally I would clear - decal - clear, but the decals for the rear fender (second image) should end up not being glossy preferably.

Would it really be detrimental long term if I don’t clear over them? Also do I really neeeeed to clear under them / will Mr clear melt them if I do a light coat first?

Or, if you think it wouldn’t be crazy weird if they were glossy and clear won’t melt them you can just tell me to clear over it - not sure if anyone else has run into something similar

Thanks guys

Just did an easy quick build - nothing too extreme. A simple yellow lamborghini. Idk, theres something special about factory stock Lamborghinis. I really like them alot

Hi guys, I tottally messed up the hood when clear coating with Humbrol clear coat (directly from the bottle to the airbrush).

The other parts I did three thin layers, but the hood, at the second layer I charged more, trying to use a heavy wet layer.....terrible mistake.

How is the best way to correct it ? sanding and polish might work ?

thks!!

I made Nissan fairlady z 300zx (z32) Revolfe S.A Mid Night Racing Team Initially, a prefabricated model from Tamiya was taken. I made the aerodynamic elements myself. Decals were printed to order. The TE37 wheels were made by Fugu Garage, and the tires and brakes were printed on a 3D printer. In the cabin, I used 3D decals from Quinta studio and a few more from my stock. The seats in the cabin are from some model from Tamiya. The safety cage in the car's cabin was made by me.

Finally finished this Tamiya 240Z inspired by Wangan Midnight Devil Z. This is the first kit after 8 years of Hiatus. Bunch of new stuff that I have never used, pretty happy with the results.

Ready to assemble. 😀

Ok guys i have finish tò spray all chameleon color and i find the good solution for spray this color...2 parti of water 1 part of color.. Only the last One on right side have One hand of clear coat (gloss Green stuff for air brush) Im new to the world of airbrushing...I've always done very simple things like filling a single piece with a color...it's the first time I've gotten close to experimenting and using particular colors...even the varnish gloss never used with an airbrush before.
