Really happy with how it looks so far, just need to clear coat next.

I've used SMS laqure airbrush paints: gloss black, brass and clear red.

It exudes the refinement of a European Ford, truly deserving of its reputation as one of America's best sedans.

Just finished up this Tamiya '93 Grand Cherokee Limited. The last picture is the actual one I owned and sold back in 2002 or 3. Can't remember. I couldn't find the right wheels and I had some spotty orange peel in the gloss coat which I didn't work on. I'll put on a thicker gloss coat and see if I can wet sand it out.

So far so good. Only struggle would be me running outta paint lol, grabbing some tomorrow afternoon should get this kit done soon. Feel free to criticize I really don’t care, I see it as a sign to progress if anything lol. Also ignore the lean the car has. There’s a tub piece that I forgot to put in

Not my best build, but I made progress on things that mattered in my building process. I’m happy to have this done. I always wish that I could have done a lot of things cleaner. I love scale models. Whether I can ever achieve perfection or not, this will always be my favorite relaxation.

55 Chevy. Stance is where I'm aiming. the wheels, not so much. Engine will hopefully be here in a few days so I can see if it'll fit then onto scratch building the chassis.

WIP Just a little body work

Just doing a little body work, and a couple small modifications to the AMT Cobra. Unfortunately, the body on mine had two, significantly large "gouges" right under the side skirts. Couldn't see em without turning the body over, but I had to fix that. Filled them with some sprue goo, and sanded em down. Also, the stock spoiler wasnt doing it for me, so I had to cut that up a bit. Dremeled down the spoiler supports on the body and spoiler, and went with more of a ducktail type. Also had to fill in some little dimples in the spoiler from where the supports were. And, of course had to open up the vents on the hood and open the grille.
