• My 2024 builds. ....... *PICS* .....
  • Nice smooth paint (excepting the crunched fenders)! What paint did you use on the yellow Impala? *NM*
    • Thanks. I airbrushed Scalefinishes 1967 Chevrolet Butternut Yellow. *NM*
      • There is a guy that comes to the donut shop on Saturday mornings that has a 67 Impy painted in that yellow, and also has a black vinyl top, and a 427. Gorgeous car...and big! *NM*
  • You had a very productive year! Impressive collection! *NM*
  • Scott, great work re the black 1970 Coronet...how did you paint the center part of the bumper?....I masked mine & after painting the Tamiya tape took off some of the chrome plating, Molotow fixed it but was anoying to say the least & have a couple more of that kit to build. *NM*
    • Thanks. If you look at that area of the front bumper using a magnifying glass, there are 2 very faint marks that shows the edges where it's divided. I used a very small paint brush for the edges, then a larger brush to fill it in using th same gloss black I used on the body. *NM*
  • Great productive year! What painting technique did you use for the black vinyl roof on the '68 Charger R/T? The look of texture is much more subtle than masking tape and looks more in scale than other types I have seen. *PIC*
    • HIt post too soon - The sheen is also very "vinyl like". *NM*
    • I used the Revell 1969 Charger body. It has the vinyl top texture molded in, along with the stainless moldings wher the C pillars meet the rear quarters. I masked the roof off from the rest of the body and painted it Tamiya semi-gloss black. *NM*
  • Wow you have been busy. Love them all esp the Nascar crash scenes. *NM*
  • Great stuff, Scott. You are the master at damaged plastic. Have you shared your technique anywhere? *NM*
    • Yes. I try to share when people ask me to go into detail on how I do it at shows/contests. But, a lot of them don't quite get it 100%. It's probably my fault. Having autism gets in the way sometimes when I'm trying to explain some things. *NM*
  • The dioramas are cool *NM*
  • Your dioramas are fantastic!! *NM*
  • Greaat "crash" builds, Scott! Also, really liking that ''67 SS427....TB *NM*
  • Great builds Scott but just a little constructive criticism....you need to spend a little more time lining up the panels on all those Nascars....they kinda come of as wrecked !!! LOL !!! *NM*
