After getting my airbrush working, I was able to finish up an old shelf queen. Very happy with the results even if the camo isn't whats on the box. https://youtu.be/QaGtmuAI4rE

Another completed project, Monogram "Classic Cruiser" 32 Ford Street Rod. After spending the last couple months on Warhammer projects, I was able to finish up this shelf queen this week. It's a cheap kit with few parts but makes for a fun build. The second of these classic cruiser kits I've...

Finished enough. Not perfect, but done. Monogram Classic Cruiser '55 F-100 Street Rod. For a $12 kit's pretty nice. Very simple, sure but the finish isn't bad at all. I spent the last 2 days trying to get the flames to sit perfectly flat and just gave up---wasn't worth the stress anymore...

First non-warhammer kit since the BSC. Cheap MPC kit I got on closeout. Built it with my kids, but they lost interest. After sitting a few months I finished it over the last week. Color is Testor's Model Master Honduras Maroon. Turns out the rear window can't be installed with the spoiler...

Congrats to all the other winners and thanks to everyone for the votes! I had a lot of fun building the General Mayhem, and it was only the 2nd non-Warhammer model I've done in 20 years. I'm thinking about doing another Roadkill car next year...

So I submitted entry and paid. Was I suppose to put a note or comment in the payment? I didn't see anything.

Category: Auto Name of Build: Roadkill's General Mayhem Kit manufacturer: Revel Scale: 1/25 Description The build is based of the car built in Roadkill Ep 23 by Hot Rod's David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan. It's a 1968 charger with a 440 big block out of a motor home. The car is...

Re: Roadkill '68 Charger - General Mayhem Finished! There will me more pics for the final entry.

Re: Roadkill '68 Charger - General Mayhem I'm very happy the deadline was extended once again, as I was going to be hard pressed to get it done by Sunday. Especially when working on the wheels tonight I found I had lost/thrown away the adapters that sticks them on the car. So I had to...

Re: Roadkill '68 Charger Wow! it's been a while since I touched this with so much other stuff going on, mostly Warhammer commission work. But tonight I broke the car back out. I carved down the windshield to fit around my modifications, and then cut the front bumper off the stock grille. I...

Re: Roadkill '68 Charger OK finally got back to it a little Finished the dash by carving out a shift nob from a bit of sprue. I also had to get rid of the clutch pedal as the General Mayhem is an auto. Yes it means the trans will be wrong but eh, close enough. Now a question: anyone have...

Re: Roadkill '68 Charger Day 3 and the interior is just about done. First, the dashboard. Here is the best screen cap from the youtube video Now my scratch built version I especially like the Tach which is a 1/8" rod inside a 3/16" tube. The sides of the interior are separate piece so I...

Re: Roadkill '68 Charger Day 2 of the build First, I fixed the roof by extending one of the braces and then adding wires for the dome light (again, based on pics of the car). I also filed down the wheel well chrome. On the interior I spent most of the night sanding down the carpet texture...

Re: Roadkill '68 Charger I'm finally wrapping up my current commission so I had time to work on this. Looking through pics of the car, I realized it has no interior and I wanted to replicate that. I started with sanding off the headliner texture and then built up something like the structure...

I've been trying to figure out what to do for the contest, if anything but today I had an epiphany. I found this kit at my local Salvation Army for $2.90. It's missing a piece or 2 but nothing major..but for that price who cares. So I decided on trying to build the General Mayhem '68 Charger...

Sorry for the threadomancy but I never posted my finished pics on this. This was my first non-warhammer model in 20 years. Revel EC145 by Da40korks, on Flickr Revel EC145 by Da40korks, on Flickr

Yes this may be threadomancy but I'll take the chance. I had not realized it had been more then 2 years since I left off with this. The kicker was finding a mask that worked and I liked, found it in Microscale blue masking fluid. It allowed me to spray the outside of the model finally. I went...

Quick question, would a Kubelwagen count as auto or armor? Also, the kit comes with 2 standing figures. If I put all three on a plain base (like a plain piece of black plastic) just so the figures are not loose, would that still count as a diorama?

Sadly it is looking like at this point I'm simply not going to have time to start this model much less finish it. I might have a chance to throw it together in the last week of June, but I have to paint 75+ infantry models for a tournament on Jun 23rd, and that will take pretty much all my free...
