I would also like to add a conopy to this model. Most images with a canopy show it covering the entire tractor including the motor. Would copper plate be a good material to use?

I love this model and how "real" the woman looks as far hips, the belly looks like there is real "girl stuff" inside, and the breasts are not ridiculous. She looks like a man's woman and not an adolescent boy's version of one. However, I can't display it LOL. I live in the bible belt and is the...

No, the directions are OK. Could be better, with a few mistakes like parts appearing in the drawing but no mention of it being applied, or part labeled B37 but it is on the "A" sprue...but I have seen worse. The difficulty is in the microscopic size of the parts and how extremely fragile they...

Thank you! She was really fun to paint.

Why am I not surprised! I routed the fuel line in a "logical" way but probably incorrect. I EVERY photo I have seen the fuel tank is on the right. On the model the tank is on the left, and the canister that the fuel line goes to is on the right. The line coming out of the...canister thing where...

Thank you Gary!

Yessir, that took a bit of time and a tiny brush!

I wasn't sure where to put this, but it is 1:35 scale so I put it with armor. This is Thunder Models Cat 60 tractor. One of the guys in my model group built it and his looked fantastic so I thought I'd give it a try. Little did I know what I was in for. If you build one be sure to have two pairs...

This is a Kuton sculpt and 3D printed by me. The trident was originally a cross and I altered it in Blender to be a trident. I wanted to try a new "skin" technique. I painted the skin base a lighter shade than the final layer would be. Then I daubed very thin yellow and sponged it off. Then I...

Evangeline Lilly- Canadian actress who played on the TV show Lost, played The Wasp for MCU, and Tauriel in The Hobbit trilogy. This is a sculpt by VX Labs and printed in 1:6 scale by me. She was painted 90% in acrylics and the face was finished in oils with sime oil accents in the hair. She was...

Yeah, mostly. Thanks. I thought I might post some stuff today. With 3 epic fails in a row (Scout body creation which I have pretty much abandoned, the Impala, and the VW bus 🫣) I have been leary of starting threads. I have some figures to show though. I have been in a lot of pain and am trying...

Hmm, I have no serious plans for 2025. To get better at scratch building is a thing I would like to do. I am unsure how to go about that. To be more patient and not rush a model would be nice, to enjoy the process. Believe it or not, I want to try the 4 door Impala again now that I sort of...

I carry and use that glue and had no idea it was Kenny for crying out loud

I have a feeling this is common MiG practice, the taking because he wants it. I mentioned this before about them stealing Alclad II logo, name, product and then packaging it as “original” because there is nothing anyone can do about it. I hope they compensate you!

Yeah, the doors were working, but like I mentioned (I think...) in making them work I removed too much material from the front edges. Once all that dust settled I realized I had to add material to the rear edges of the door. Sevaral days of doing I realized I would have to remove the moulding...

Honestly, it was becoming almost comical in that Iin putting one part together I would break another. I would fix that part and in doing so I would break another. When I broke the hood hinges while handling the car and was going to have to take the entire car apart to fix it I decided to move...

Thanks Chris, but it is time to admit defeat. I bit off more than I could chew even though I was certain I would be able to do it. If the guy from A4 Garage can do it then so can I!...apparently not. It is in the bin; I will not fish it out again. On to brighter horizons. Next is a Volkswagen T1...

I am going to admit that the doors on this car are absolutely kicking my butt.

Yeah, it would be cool to build our first car. We had a gold '76 MC also but was not nearly as awesome.

Thanks Saul!
