I'm the same as QUKBMER, but my stuff goes back to the mid 90s for the most part. Sadly I did lose part of my collection when I moved 14 years ago. No a clue to where it went...



The steering wheel is nail polish. It's a high flake but the camera has problems capturing it lol.



The seats in the AMX are just dollar store flat black rubbed with a dryer sheet to give a little more character. But I did use flocking for carpet.

I will get to that point eventually. Being out of hobby for a decade didn't help. Will be nice to have a stock pile so i don't have to wait on next to arrive and can build cars from spare parts.


Anyways. After getting let down by usps Saturday (big surprise) my bt50 didnt show. So this morning on my way home i stopped by and picked it up before my carrier went out for the day. Been messing with it off an on through the day and got the m12/13 built it wasnt the easiest to build

Thats badass Jason ! Yeah it does help to have spare parts to kit bash. I still have parts from back in the mid 80's when i was 15/16 years old and up till recently too.

[Fsnow]

Man i wish i had spare parts like that.

When you have built as many as Jason I'm sure you would have a huge pile of spare stuff. Roughly how many is that now Jason?

[squidmaster]

I like the chameleon steering wheel hahaha
Did you paint it with nail polish? Cheap-as way to get those funky colors (dollar store nail polish) and test colors on models before finalizing it, since it can be washed off with removers that often aren't acetone and won't destroy the model underneath.

And for the seats in the green Javelin, did you flock them? I never thought about adding material to the seats, that's a great idea

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Man i wish i had spare parts like that. "Patiently" waiting for my bt50 to show tomorrow.

[JasonC]

And the two Hot Rods I've been fiddling with for the past few years. The black one is built from spare parts.

Since i'm at a computer, i'll post up a few of my recently finished models.

First the AMX

The Jager car turned out good! I need to try some Tamiya paint.


As good as those Gundam figures look. I think you'll be fine with building a car.

Let's see your scale models.

I haven't setup my car models since I moved, but here are a few Gundam models from when the show was good (80s and 90s). I haven't built a new model in a year or so.

These last two models i built. Are the first ones I have done in over 10 years.

Watching those videos makes me depressed sometimes hah. But I guess it's all about learning and practicing, just like anything else.

What paints are you using? Do you sand the surface and thin the paints first?
This guy is very methodical and does everything so properly with such brush control it embarasses me

Lol i don't sand at all, using tamiya paint. That vid makes me look like shit.
