Building Big Daddy Roth's Outlaw

Revell Phantom Vicky

This was built 100% OOB a while ago mainly as a painting exercise. It was my first serious attempt at using acrylics. I wanted to see how well it laid down & if it stayed on when masked with tape. Worked out pretty well in both areas. [...]

1970 Nissan Skyline GT-R (KPGC-10) Rubber Soul

Just finished this one - built completely stock from the Fujimi kit. Paint was Rover Leyland White with Zero Paints Nissan Active Red. I had to mask and spray this as the decals cracked when I tried to apply them. Top coat was Zero Two [...]

This is my latest completion done as a mild custom/street machine. All the emblems have been removed. It has been lowered using blocks in the rear & modified spindles in front. Engine is a 409 from the kit with modified air cleaners [...]

1957 Ford

I seem to be finishing automotive kits lately. This is my latest. It is a 1/25th scale Revell 1957 Ford done as a mild custom using the nostalgia approach. All emblems & handles have been removed. It is lowered using blocks in the rear [...]

1/25 '69 Camaro

Though I did manage to make this car come out decent, it was a huge pain. As I was working on this car, I had not let the paint cure all the way and I put a clear cote on it. Because of this the paint started to wrinkle and I panicked; I [...]
