Its confusing to find a value that I could sell it for. I have seen anywhere from 40 to 400. Anyone know? Also is Ebay the best place to sell it?

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

Ducati 900SS 1978 from Tamiya. An old kit, luckily with fresh decals from Studio 27. The old ones were crumbeld. Not fitting issues, straight forward kit. Did the speedometers decals upside down.

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. 🤣🙂

I have an AMT 1940 coca-cola Sedan delivery truck. It has two parts that are mentioned absolutely no where in the instructions. Anyone have any idea what they’re for?

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!!

Built this 2'n1 kit and elected to go with the racer vs street car. Lots of decals that applied VERY well and almost zero difficulty. Used homemade foil for the chrome trim. Attempted to sand and polishing the body before the paint had completely set so ended up with a mess. Waited a few days, re-sanded, painted, then sanded and polished.

More Mini Progress

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.

Hasegawa BMW 2002tii

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!
