I've been on this site since 2007 and I've always contributed to others works.

Well, in all these years of helping others and offering advice on their works, I myself, have never posted up any of my works.

So here it is fellas, SOME of what I've accomplished in the past year. I've got about 3 other kits on the bench at the moment and many others that are complete.

However, I am using the 3.2 MP camera on my BlackBerry, so be advised that the photos aren't of the greatest quality (also why I can't take photo's of my figures as the zoom just blurs all the detail =[ )

I hope you enjoy what I've taken great pride in, and hopefully you guys will like them as much as I do.

So without further adieu, I present, my works of 2009!

Enjoy

Much thanks from both of you.

My '72 is my pride and joy right now, I'm going to see if I can find the R34 or R35 at my local hobby store today when I drop on in.

I've currently got the Tamiya RX-7, Fairlady 300ZX and 180SX waiting on my work bench, but the bodies were all warped in the box so I'm still waiting for my LHS to order me replacements =[

Nice clean builds and paint, Steve. Well placed washes in the door lines and other spots.

Old Dragon -

My big thing right now is older Japanese cars, if you click the link at the end of the slide show that brings you back to my main photo bucket page, you can see my two babies in another album =]

I just recently discovered the old Fujimi kits and can't wait to get my hands on some of their classic Japanese cars.

KSO -

Would you believe it if I told you that all of that all the paint I use, other than the spray cans for exteriors, is warhammer paint? What I will do is take the warhammer chaos black, dilute it with just a tad of water, and brush it into the body seams. Then wipe away the excess (this is done about a week after the car has been painted and been allowed to dry properly.)
