Model Cars and Coffee - AMT's 2021 Ford Bronco!
I've had this kit for about a year, a Model Cars magazine from July 2023 as a reference guide and figure now's as good a time as any to finish my Sunday coffee and get this one built. I still don't know what I will use for the body color, but we'll know come the next video!

Tamiya's Toyota GR Supra - Full build!.
Переглядів 8614 днів тому
This is a MUST HAVE, MUST BUILD kit. Tamiya is well-known for its quality kits and this Supra is no exception. Body lines are awesome and in scale to the 1:1 sportscar, and it lend itself very well to paint detail, which is great since it's a curbside. All in all, I really loved building this kit, and plan on doing another in a different color some day down the road. Enjoy! Paint: Scale Finishe...
#Street Machine GB - Streaker Vette Reveal, plus what's next on the bench...
Переглядів 11628 днів тому
First entry in Jason Hanscom's 2nd Annual Street Machine Group Build, I chose to build the MPC 1967 Streaker Vette. I built this one years back so was happy to see it re-released. It's not without its issues-lots of flash, very faint panel lines on the doors and head lamps, but overall it built up decently. I resisted the urge to radius the rear wheel wells, but I had to clip the pins for the w...

Plus, I throw my hat into Jason over at Blue Ox Model Shop's #StreetMachineGB build with at least one kit, check out what I've got next on the bench!

#Mustang60 GB Update - Revell's 1971 Boss 351!
Переглядів 165Місяць тому
Two kits I'm working on this week. One I'm planning on giving to a fellow tae kwon do student, the other is another one of those "Builds with a Backstory" that started with the Chevy II from last year. Hope you like both, plus I got a 3D printed kit from Andy Lesiak, a really cool Drift Truck. I hope to get that one built this summer! Paint: Rattle canned Tamiya Pure White (3 coats each kit) Wa...
#Mustang60 GB Update - Revell's 1971 Boss 351!
Переглядів 1272 місяці тому
Another great kit from Revell, this. The 1971 Boss 351 goes together very well, needed no glue to hold the body to the chassis (the fit is Tamiya-level tight!) although I did have bad chrome on the underside of the front bumper and the black decal for the hood outline fell apart when I tried to apply it (it is better to cut it into three pieces, use the masking template in the kit instructions ...
#Mustang60 GB Update - Revell's 1971 Mach 1 hitting the paint booth!
Переглядів 1442 місяці тому
Time ran out on me, but I got AMT's 1971 Mustang Mach I completed for #Mustang60 sponsored by Mike at Scale Speedworks. Lot of great Mustangs gracing YT for this GB and hopefully you like this one as well. The kit builds well and if you're daring the tight engine bay would pop with wiring and fuel lines, for sure. Next Mustang I hope to do just that. I lowered the ride height by cutting the pin...
#Mustang60 GB Update - Revell's 1971 Mach 1 hitting the paint booth!
Переглядів 2693 місяці тому
I have some subassemblies done and in paint, mostly Tamiya TS6 Matte Black, but other colors will soon follow. Tonight I spent about an hour prepping the body for paint using 3200 grit Micro Mesh pads, cleaned the body and off to the paint booth. I did have some issues with the paint flow but found out it was because I didn't have the nozzle tip tightened enough. Good experience for future airb...
AMT's 1960 Chevy Truck Reveal, plus a quick look at my #Mustang60 GB entry!
Переглядів 3473 місяці тому
AMT's 1960 Chevy Truck is done and display ready. Overall a neat kit, had just a few fit issues on the dash and cab mating to the chassis, but got that trimmed up and corrected. Pick up this kit and build one for yourself! I also have a quick peek at one of my #Mustang60 entries, the Revell 1971 Mach 1 Mustang. I've already got the body washed, sanded and primed, once I've sanded the primer I'l...
Subassembly Progress on AMT's 1960 Chevy Truck!
Переглядів 1643 місяці тому
After two hours' wet sanding and polishing the paintwork came out really, really nice! I like the color a lot on this truck and can't wait to start putting the subassemblies together. Wetsanding: I used Micromesh polishing clothes and pads from 1500 grit up thru 12000 grit. I then used Tamiya Fine Polishing Compound to bring up the shine and remote any remaining sanding scratches, then gave it ...
Clearing the AMT1960 Chevy Pickup, plus a kit from eBay that I've been looking for!
Переглядів 3563 місяці тому
I can't wait to break in the Scale Finishes clear for the other paint jobs I have lined up, but for this build I went with Mr. Hobby/Mr. Color 346 Clear. From the jar it's thick, took a 1:3 or 1:4 mix with leveling thinner before I got it to where I was ready to spray. Took several coats, too, but again, practice, practice, practice, and I'll find that sweet spot of using the airbrush. You will...
Tamiya's Porsche GT3 Reveal PLUS AMT's 1960 Chevy Pickup gets paint!!
Переглядів 1314 місяці тому
I lost some of my build video for the Porsche, but thankfully I had pics of it. This Tamiya GT3 builds really, really well, and has decals for two different Taisan-sponsored drivers. I also have this kit as a street GT3 and plan on building it in a wild color my daughter picked out. But in the meantime, I'm in the process of building AMT's 1960 Chevy Truck, and breaking out the airbrush once ag...
MPC's 1975 Corvette - My FIRST real airbrush, and turned out NICE!
Переглядів 1574 місяці тому
Here's the final of the MPC 1975 Corvette. This was the kit I won at my first-ever model car show last year, and also my second-ever airbrush attempt, which turned out great. Again, paint is Tammy's X-13 Metallic Blue, and it's thinned using Mr. Color 400 Leveling Thinner, sprayed through a Grex Genesis airbrush. If you've been on the fence about airbrushing, use this and my previous video as i...
My second-EVER airbrush job, how does it look?
Переглядів 3,7 тис.5 місяців тому
I've broken out the airbrush again for another practice and overall I think I did well-how do YOU think I did? The kit's MPC's 1975 Corvette, which I won at my first-ever model car show last year. Paint is Tammy's X-13 Metallic Blue, and it's thinned using Mr. Color 400 Leveling Thinner. I'm getting the hang of my Grex Genesis airbrush and compressor, so hopefully some of my excitement and sati...
