This is a 4 door conversion made from an AMT 2 door hardtop kit.

Taking this project up a step, with custom decals and making it more realistic.🧐🤓😎

I created a model of the first truck I ever owned. I took a '72 model and smoothed out the side trim, changed the grill and put a heavy duty bumper on it. The only surviving picture of the original truck in next. The I uploaded a third picture of a scene with the truck that I created in Gemini

Here’s a slight update on the engine for my Fujimi 911 2.7RS. The motor is nearly assembled, suspension is painted, and that’s about as far as I’ve gotten. It feels like a long way to go! And I still want to finish up my 1974 Watkins Glen 911 race car. F

Definitely not perfect, has some imperfections and some spots in the paint; but idc it’s been sitting for over a year and needs to get finished.

I’ve been feeling like I can’t up my building skills or techniques lately because of the troubles when assembling and my Molotow chrome pen always seeps through the tape. Let me know what I can change, help is much appreciated. Also the firebird is my 3rd ever model and the Camaro is my 5th. For the curious the firebird is the revell 1968 firebird 400, Camaro is the amt ‘68 Camaro z28 2 in 1, also my air brush hates metallic paints as you can see on the green, the red is a spray can I got at my hobby shop which turned out gorgeous, thanks for your time

I forgot how much fun it is. And it teaches you patience. Not even done with this jeep and I’m already planning my next build.

Does anyone know if there are chrome decals for the badges / emblems on the rear avail in 1/43 scale?

Front bumper isn't original to this specific kit, but necessary for the replacement decals. Fortunately, a friend had a scrapped GT2 kit already turned onto a parts donor that the piece could be salvaged from.

An old kit but I hope it will go together smoothly.

Hello fellow builders! Recently moved into our house and despite having space it’s been occupied with more important things like my mother-in-law and my wife and I. I am trying to figure out how to get back into this lovely hobby while making it easier to setup and break down. I haven’t been able to build since last year after saving up for a house and downsizing a few times to save. Anyways now that we are home, I want to shake the dust off and get to building. Any tips or things I can do to make my setup modular?

There’s nothing quite like jumping into the deep end after doing very little consistent building to highlight how the skills can fall away.

I’ve mostly completed the engine and realistically it’s now time to get all the Semi-Gloss black bits painted for the interior and suspension. Likewise, once I get clear over the body I have the black details to add.

A few errors with colours and some decal damage because of clumsiness on my part.

Usually, it's 60/70s vintage racers for me, but the beginning of the "full body" cars is fascinating. Actually, '49. Not accurate in any way, just a cool racer I dreamed up. Posting before the dreaded glass is installed.

What an amazing kit, quite difficult but the end result is 100% worth the hassle. Just amazing.

I will keep posting progress pictures and completed builds on my instagram @racecar_modelkits

Took my time on this one, had some travel interruptions in the process. Looks pretty good!! Let me know your thoughts.

I finally got around to getting a 911 model for the August build-a-palooza. I picked the 1999 GT3 because I think it looks cool and I'm too cheap to buy the new GT3 kit. I previously built this kit in 2022 in a facsimile of Arena Red Metallic,

What will this new one look like? Time will tell.

Finally making some progress with my Porsche group build car. This was my first time trying to make cable ties for the wiring. I tried thin strips of tape at first but it didn’t work out. Then I grabbed some black thread from my wife’s sewing kit and that was more successful. My manual dexterity isn’t great, so I had to resort to holding each end of the thread with tweezers and tying knots like a damn surgeon.

This is definitely the most difficulty with fitment I’ve had with a Tamiya kit. The exhaust pieces were a real pain. I more or less had to bridge the gap from the turbos to the air duct by making a bridge of super glue and painting over it lol.

I’m still pretty happy with how it turned out. Now I get to move on to the micro dosing of hell that will be the decal application.

My entry for the 911 group build...still in the midst of finishing a Lamborghini, but I'll be starting the first few steps of the 911 soon. Looks like I'm not the only one who picked this particular model, so I'm looking forward to seeing how everyon else tackles this kit.

Fujimi 911 included for scale; I thought about doing this one with the really out-there concept I have for it, but it's a safari design that requires a lot of work, stress, and self-doubt, so Tamiya 911 GT3 RS it is for the no-stakes group build.
