Model Sunday 4-29-12

I'll start off with my finished '48 Linberg Lincoln.

 

Looks good!

What paint did you use?

 

It's one of the new Testors laquer sprays.

 

cool how was that kit been looking at getting one

 

Nice car, rc57. Here's another WIP 1/8 scale pavement sprinter I'm building from scratch.

The base kit is a piece of crap, there is a ton of work in this one including headlights, taillights, modified bumpers & lowered suspension. The good thing is you can get them for $5 all day long on E.

 

NICE WORK GUYS! Thanks for the great link yekoms.

Here's a couple shot of the coupe I'm building for the HAMB build off...

I took my son to the Valacon model contest in Winnipeg, Canada yesterday. There were some incredible builds there. Here are a few examples:

 

Looks like it was a good show thanks for the pic's

 

Not much to look at just a Willys i've been working on

 

Good work.

Thanks for the show coverage too.

 

rc57, the Lincoln looks great. Is that the gold one coat custom lacquer?
I used that color to repaint a '77 Monte Carlo after removing the swank lowrider
coating on the pre-painted body. That stuff coates very nicely and looks great. I'm
thinking about using it on a full fendered Deuce 3 window to compliment the one
pictured above.

 

Looks like Model Master Inca gold.... I've got 3 cans of it...

 

That must be it, I was thinking it looked a bit brighter but thought, maybe
it's the exposure.

 

Here's a money saving tip for you guys...
I went into Michael's today to look at some models.. So I ended buying one... The Revell '69 chevy Nova COPO kit.. They wanted 21 bucks and some change but I didn't have a coupon.. While standing in line, I noticed the cashier scan what I believe was a 40% off coupon right off a customer's cell phone.. When it was my turn to pay for my kit, I asked the cashier if she can do the same for me and she said yes! All I did was to type in michaels.com on my cell phone and she hunted up the coupon for me and scanned it.. I only paid 13.98 for the kit...
Cool beans!!...

 

Hobby Lobby has the on line coupons too, usually good for 40% off your highest priced purchase. It is a great service.

Here's a couple quick snaps of the Monte in progress... Looks a bit like an annual promo kit right now.

 

This ones a few years old now, "Koolkits '29"

 

Cool! There's a Hobby Lobby in Canton, Mi near my job... I'll have to stop in there one of these days after work and see what they have..
Thanks bud!

 

Can you please make me a real one?

 

Great job everyone the models are super.
