New Projects

I received a box full of models and parts from a Friend of mine that her sons no longer had a use for. I finally got the chance to go through them and separate the usable items out and thinned the herd....

I ended up with a model box 3/4 full of parts and about ten usable bodies for future projects! There was also an incomplete kit of a USS Enterprise aircraft carrier as well.

The nicest part about the bodies is all of them are models that I don't have.

There were a lot of broken parts and parts of things I had no use for, but it was a great gift bag and a lot of fun to dig through!

One word of caution, do not store glue or paint in your parts boxes! It can really make a mess of some decent pieces and ruin them for future use. There were several items like that in the box, including what could have been some very nice pro street tires.

I ended up with wheels and tires, engine parts, frames, bodies, seats, and many other usable items.

Thank you Cyndee!

Camaro Pictures!

A couple of mock-ups of the camaro. It still has a way to go before it gets done. The scoop is just sitting on the hood and the rear spoiler is taped on.


The tires and wheels are sitting under the car unattached, but they are about ready to install once every thing dries and the touch up is done.

The interior still has some detailing left to do, and the engine is still incomplete.

But I am gaining on it! I think I'll lower it a bit too while I am at it as I really don't care for the ride height or the high front end.

I still am trying to decide whether to paint the padded (top) part of the dash black yet. I can't decide if I like the tan there or not....

That's all for today.

I got a Gift in the Mail!

The camaro is in the stripe mode, and as you can see it is still wet. I will try and get some pics of it without all the masking and run another post later today.

A friend of mine sent me some of her sons old models, and a bunch of loose parts.

It looks like I'll have projects for quite a while now. They will take a lot of TLC to clean up enough to be usable, but they will work.

There is only one model that is nearly all there so I think some imagination is in order....

This is just a few of what I received in the mail and I am still going through the box and sorting things out. Most of the parts were loose in shopping bags so it is going to take awhile.

Well I am going to get on with the camaro and see what I can accomplish with it today!
