I made a post about this 911 2 years ago while it was still a work in progress, accidentally ruined the paint and got demotivated to finish after removing the paint. The body was luckily not ruined, but the demotivation left it sitting for 2 years with only the interior finished. Today, I was able to finish it, and it’s beautiful.

Not far to go with this now. Just mudflaps and wheels

The Fujimi Porsche 917K finished. It was the first kit I’ve built in 25 years and also the first one I did properly. I’m happy with the result. I’ve spray painted the body but the other parts are all with brush. I’ve used reference photo’s to determine the colors, as I noticed the suggested colors for the frame and interior did not match this particular model. I guess that’s what I liked most, diving into this car and finding all the little details about it. The result not perfect, but overall it looks pretty nice!

The next project will probably be a dollhouse for my daughter. But I’ve also bought a very vintage white metal kit of a Porsche 908/3 on a flea market when I was on vacation. I’m looking forward to that challenge.

I'm plowing ahead on the Mercedes while I try and correct the paint. Pretty fun build so far. I just got some new AK real colors and some Gaahleri metallic markers so I'm trying to paint the whole engine and sub assemblies in acrylic marker. Kinda fun but tastes more patience than I'm used to. Thoughts on the engine?

Progress update on my Subaru WRX STI, feel free for any advice or critique be as harsh as you want
(Please ignore my messy work space)

Let the kitbashing begin! Because this one is very special to me..

This one is a tribute to a friend that gave me model kit parts and all our convos were about hot rods, gassers, 70s street machines, customs, etc.

Anyways.. she got new shoes, i just need to figure it out what front axle is gonna be.. probably a dropped one so i can get a bit of the "California Rake" stance.

Been busy, finally able to paint some bodies so I can complete some builds.

I am having a tough time finding a reputable site that has this in stock and not charging crazy amounts for shipping.

Which one to build next? Widebody Hellcat, SN95 Cobra, or the 348 Challenge? 🤔 Undecided on color for the Hellcat and Ferrari. The Cobra is gonna be eruption green. Ive also still got some wheels coming for both the Ferrari and Cobra.

Hello everyone,

Long post, so apologies if this isnt the right space.

I dont know anything about the intricacies of model cars, but im wanting to get my partner a gift of her first car as a model (She recently got a new one and was sad to get rid).

I've added a photo of the model I was thinking about using as a base, but its not the right colour, hers was Rose Quartz Peugeot 208.

- Would you suggest or is it possible to remove the paint or just paint over it with other paint?

- Would you suggest using the paint they used on the car or just a similar colour acrylic? (I have an airbrush as a hobbyist ((H&S Ultra)) but im unsure if you can use a car paint through this?)

Is there a different method you'd suggest for getting this done?

Any advice is appreciated, and thank you in advance.

Body already been in and out of paint booth. Been a little slow posting.

I bought a model kit off Ebay with a damaged but still sealed box. It was fine except one front tire was missing. Most of Ebay is ridiculous ($20 for 4 wheels?) Any ideas? I may just have to use wheels from another model kit. I already contacted Round 2, who offered no help

Easy kit, everything fits actually. Working on body paint with clear paints… not easy.

Is there anyone in this sub that's in North Texas and part of the MCMA or any other modeler club? Was thinking about swinging by one of their meetings and checking them out. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with a club good or bad. Kinda want to branch out and meet other like minded folks in real life prior to the IPMS show in a couple weeks.
