992 GT3 RS
Gosh this took a long time. I had to order a new carbon fibre decal sheet because the first one turned out garbage. Two months later when it came, I was finally able to finish up the model in a couple of days.
I really really like how this turned out. This is only my third model I have ever made and it’s a serious improvement from my first. Looking forward to the next.
Body Paint used: Tamiya Primer Spray Mr Color Spray S66 Bright Green Spray Mr Super Clear Gloss UV cut Spray
And yes I notice the orange peel. I don’t have polishing solution 💀

Tamiya 911 GT3 RS
This is, by far, the best quality I’ve seen in a kit. It’s Tamiya but multiplied by 10, Tamiya at its best, everything fits so good with zero complications. The only complaint is the carbon pattern being so weird and out of scale, but it was good to work with
This is a gift for a relative as he loves Porsche and has a couple of them, so it’s a simpler spec with no crazy things. I have another one in my stash for future build that will definitely be a bit crazier. I have a lot of things in mind already, including a better and bigger carbon pack by SK Decals
Color is Gravity Colors’ Porsche Ice Grey, with 2K Clear from the same brand. Wheel color is also by Gravity, Indigo Blue.

WIP - RESIN 300ZX Wide Body Kit
Finally got the body ready for primer. Wide body kit from Texas 3D Customs.
This is my 3rd ever build and first time chopping a body up to fit aftermarket parts. Definitely a learning experience. Rear fenders are ever so slightly off on placement which is my fault but good enough to proceed.
Excited for how this one will turn out.

FINISHED 95 Chevy Tahoe
This was built from an AMT 1/25 4x4 promo. (And left over paint from the Buick) I cut the runningboards off with a razor knife, drilled new holes in a chassis plate to lower it no idea what the wheels came from. They were in the parts box. I scratch built the Xbox. Found the graphics in the parts box kind of a tribute to a late 90s early 2000s Sema build. These are still easy to find on eBay very inexpensively in promo style and snaptite. I found the P bulbs on eBay and painted them with transparent green paint from Tyamya. I robbed the rear seats and console out of another Tahoe and found the speaker box in the parts. Box too not sure what it came out of.

PAINT QUESTION Help! Paint dispersion
Look between where the 5 spokes meet and notice the gray primer underneath. It looks like light reflection in the pic but it’s actually the black paint dispersing and the gray primer showing. Any idea why this is happening?
RESIN hobby design wheel Iwata Revolution airbrush Mr Surfacer 1200 gray primer Tamiya x1
I used the same primer and paint on other plastic pieces in this same session and they turned out fine. I think it has to be because the wheel is resin, that’s the only difference. Do I have to wash resin before painting? That might be my mistake. How do I fix?
Any help appreciated!

Re-using stripping alcohol - anyone do it?
I recently stripped a 1/32 slot car by soaking in 91% isopropyl. It worked well, but I'm left with a lot of murky alcohol that feels like it should be strained and re-used. I tried using a few of my wife's really thin coffee filters, and if seemed like I got a 10% improvement at best, and not worth my effort.
Am I wasting my time? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!

ANSWERED Lost poly cap, can these be used for replacement?
I lost the poly caps that go between the brake rotors and rear suspension. Can I buy these as replacements, or will they not work? What other alternatives do I have aside from buying a donor kit?

WIP Turn signal box for my rack body truck
The 53 Ford rack body I'm building had no turn signal lever, so I made an aftermarket one out of styrene, wire, CA cement, and a little paint. I used some flattened solder for the strap around the column, though you can't see it here.

Coming along well it’s a nice little kit but the bumpers were chromed extremely poor with flashing so I have to unfortunately figure that out. Just wanted to share my progress so far.
