The F150 I am currently working on I decided to make some color choices to see the way I want to go with this bagged and bodied curbside kit. These colors dry a completely different color in the iridescent line.
I’ve been wanting this Caddy for the longest time. Everything is perfect condition in bags and the other 2 kits are factory sealed!
WIP 97 ford f150 bagged truck
Been working on this snap kit as a bagged truck. I made some wheel tubs and cutting to get everything to fit. Made the tubs out of the wheels of the ford hauler kit, used the extra plastic from that to complete it, this is really turning into a fun kit. Also shaved the whole bed, taillights, tailgate, gas door.
Hats off to the builders of these amazing kits for this show! *these are not my builds people, just the last pic is my truck.
My question.. When I “bag and bodydrop” a model kit I try to do like the full suspension and bags, 4 links and what not to get it to lay flat. These guys and gals that build these show quality cars and trucks are they technically curbside where they don’t make suspension and modify it like if it was a real car? Just curious since I’ve never seen the bottom of these cars. The last pic is a 55 Chevy I am working on along with the suspension and frame work.
Finally got the 3 I mostly wanted for a very good price on each. Can’t wait to start the cobra build and add some 3d printed parts at it. Anyone build any of these kits recently?
Okay that was a pretty cool little kit to put together, I had to glue a few things but overall was pretty awesome.
Gonna have fun with this lil kit lol not doing major details just a little here and there for some flavor.
Decided to grab the Aoshima skyline even though it’s tiny lol thought I’d make it for my desk at work. The Porsche was opened and unwrapped but the rude manager said you can bring it back if it’s missing parts instead of just giving me a discount.
Does anyone have a go to style on how to remove this chrome plating that sucks with AMT kits to make it easier to strip it off and paint the parts instead? I’ve been sanding and doing putty to get it right and it takes forever.
I did some spoon tests today and then cleared them with acrylic gloss varnish and right out of the bottle these paints are ready to spray with a nice flow using .05 tip and needle on my airbrush. So satisfying when it comes out as planned. Called Iridescent fire red but ideally it’s actually a hot pink pearl with tones of purple. I used a silver base.
Done with this kit and satisfied the way it turned out! Definitely going to buy this curbside kit again.
Got everything done just waiting on clear varnish to dry so I can put it all together. This was a really fun kit and I definitely recommend it!
Started this one to do as a weekend kit and put on my desk at work. Everything fits perfect and it’s really straight, no flash and really clean. Weirdly the seats are hard rubber lol never seen that. This will be fun!
(I already glued the front, back fascia and hood on so I can paint it tonight but it is all separate in the box)
Got to HL as soon as they put the new shipment boxes out to start restocking lol got lucky getting 2 more hellcats and a lightning kit! Grabbed the CSR Vette for a fun quick build.
Finally they have arrived at my hobby lobby!
Almost wanted to ask an employee if they can check for more in the back. I’m seriously thinking about making this place a second fun job for me lol
Finally done with this kit, building it stock was kind of a pain so I improvised a little and threw the 5.0 mustang rear end in it and some aftermarket wheels. It sits higher than I’d like but I’m okay with it.
