Cars (and Trucks) 2024

Live?

I've just been too busy with other things but yes the build is on till the end of the year.

Are we live now?

I use a Firefox add on called Adblocker Plus, it kills all the ads.

Kind of annoying to get in here with the gateway 504 issue but I am checking from time to time.  I see the popup ads have no problem loading.

Polo!

Marco!

Calling Barranca, Calling Barranca!

OK, let's get things going again!

Hi!

 An old Airfix "Mini"-1/32

I'm still here and checking in once and a while.  I havnt really done much since summer rolled around.  Well, modeling wise anyways.

Been rebuilding carbs on the boat and on the Mustang as well as a bunch of other summer related things.

Thanks, Ed.  The kit is an interesting one, but it does have some challenges.  If you can nab one on sale though, I'd lean towards doing so.

While the site was down last week, I made some progress.  The interior decals are in place and painting is done.  Still need to hit it with some drybrushing to break up the monotony.

The front and rear suspension assemblies are also finished:

Nice, Robert!

You have me very intrigued about the kit and I started to watch a build of the JLTV on YouTube.  I can't wait to see more of your build.

        Then if it's okay this late in the game, I would like to drop in with a model, done the old way. I mean 1/32 and hand painted all the way. No Pactra(Garaunteed,No Brush Marks)So thinned Testors to the rescue!

Your not even close to being too late since you have till the end of the year.  Just let me know your choice and build away.

PE in the interior has been bent and installed.

Seats painted and belts in place.   I'll be hitting them with some black and silver next.

I have started on the interior of the JLTV, mocked up for the picture.  There are quite a few PE parts that go into it, these will be today's project, along with painting.

Speaking of painting, there are ZERO painting instructions, so I have been trying to track down sources and will be using a bit of creative license.

Unfortunately when I saw the plant floor in Oshkosh, I did catch a view of the finished interior.

Okay!

        Then if it's okay this late in the game, I would like to drop in with a model, done the old way. I mean 1/32 and hand painted all the way. No Pactra(Garaunteed,No Brush Marks)So thinned Testors to the rescue!

Picked my kit for this, Rye Field's 1/35 Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.  

Hoping to get going on it over the next couple days.   

I think that looks really sharp over the black primer, Ed. Good choice!

I sprayed the Lightning with Gravity Colors Ford Magnetic Gray.  1st time using them but it sprayed well and I probably should have used a lighter color primer than black.  I had a 2015 F350 that was Magnetic Gray and it was a bit different looking than my outcome.

Any scale!

Does it have to be 1/25, or will other scales be allowed?

Looking good Ed. Glad to see someone making some progress!!

I started the Lambo but not enough to take any pics yet. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have something to show.

Anybody have anything to show?

I' did some black primer after some body snading and fitting.

How are those kits?

I started painting parts this week.

I had a change of heart and will be building this one, Ed.

Aoshima Lambo Huracan.

Fair amount of parts:

Sounds good Steve!

When anyone else narrows their build down I'll add you to the roster.

I'll jump in.  A 1937 Chevy coupe, by AMT, about one third done.
