Chris GreathousePieces!!! Snipped off all the pieces and sanded them, tomorrow is prep for the booth, then the fun really begins 😄 Also ordered a new 18 megapixel digicam, I've been using the 8 megapixel camera off my samsung S3 phone (6 year old phone) for all my pictures thus far... I figured with the new booth the camera needed a bump too... only $40, crazy cheap to me since I last looked at digicams. It'll be here later this week 😄

Chris GreathouseI can do the splits! lol, got all the pieces split into black and white primer colors. Now it's prime time 🙂
6 February 2019, 23:18
Chris GreathouseWhite primer is done, black tomorrow... I'm also muddling through the White Freightliner instructions trying to make a color scheme for myself, because it doesn't have one and I've decided that will be my next build 😄 Need to make room on the stash shelf for my new Scania R620 Blue Shark themed truck! 😄 😄 😄

Chris GreathouseThanks all... I'm really happy with this loud green @Robert Cool pic 😄... I'm Goin' through the motions really quick on this model 😄 All the base color is sprayed (there's very few 2ndary colors).... Kind of excited to get to the White Freightliner, I finally came up with a color scheme, minus the base color/pinstripe color lol... What what's a good 2 color combo from the '80s... On the HEMI, I gotta paint the interior cabin area black, then I think it's clear and decals all the way 🙂
10 February 2019, 01:53
Bob HallWell ! Speaking as a child/Teenager of the 80's, Neon was HUGE Pink/Black-Pink/Green-Bright Red/Yellow, was a "BRIGHT" time just Google 80's Pop Culture and you'll see. LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris GreathouseSo true... damn... I was born in '86, I'm more of a '90s kids... So I found an old MTV logo that I like... whaddya guys think? Orange Body, Cyan accents/design, and red chassis... although I think cyan may be a bad shade of blue on a truck (yes?/no?)... and might go a bit darker for that. [img1]

M MI think my Green Porsche inspired your color choice.... #eyeroll Looks good man! I am ready to see that tuck built up
10 February 2019, 05:35
Chris Greathouseand yes, it inspired the green! That color demands sport or muscle anything loud... When I saw your 911 Turbo, I needed to break out my loud green 😄
10 February 2019, 06:46
Chris Greathousedanggnabbit.... got the secondary colors, 1st clear, decals but I was hoping that I could get the 2nd clear coat before bed, and start the build in the AM... but was a bit slow, and didn't get the 2nd clear on... oh well, tomorrow's another day... 🙂
11 February 2019, 06:22
Chris GreathouseAll the pieces are dry and I'm ready to build... GO!... also there's 7" of snow outside with 8"-12" more expected 😄
11 February 2019, 22:37
Nathan DempseyLooking good Chris! Its 82° F out here. Had to turn the AC on today.
11 February 2019, 22:53
Bob HallA comfy 77 cruising the the Highways today,perfect ticket writing weather if I may say so !
11 February 2019, 23:34
Chris GreathouseGotta get that quota 😛... and it's a comfy 27 here, you just need long sleeves.
11 February 2019, 23:47
Bob HallNo,No quotas The state doesn't need those, locals maybe- but there is plenty of stupid around just waiting to get stopped !
11 February 2019, 23:52
Chris GreathouseDone! The Hood Scoop didn't sit exactly right, made the hood off a bit, but it's still a badass car 🙂 I'm happy with it!
12 February 2019, 04:48
Chris GreathouseI really really really want to but... I think I may need to do an in-betweener car unfortunately... I have colors on order for the truck but with this crazy weather we're having, I don't know when they will get here. I'm still waiting for stuff that was supposed to be delivered last week, the snow has stopped the post in my area. As of 6pm last night, we have 15" of snow 😄 ❤ 😄 ❤ 😄 ❤ 😄
12 February 2019, 10:21
Chris GreathouseThanks Nueling... and for all ya'll who are 50 degrees warmer than me, I present Snowmageddon 🙂 We are sitting at 2' of snow, and still snowing 😄 Snow Album - imgur.com/a/mOqMPn3 [img1]

Tom ...Sorry haven't been able to engage much lately but wanted to say that this build looks absolutely fab. The final pics with the black (card?) background look really cool too. Nice work!
12 February 2019, 20:01
Chris GreathouseYup, the black card, and thanks guys!! My in-betweener car while I wait for Truck paint to arrive will be the Jinx Express... It's only a skill 2 with only about 30-40 painted pieces... should be a good, quick project before the truck 😄
12 February 2019, 20:23
Chris GreathouseGuys! Guys! Listen.... I farted... no, I'm joking... but check out this funky little 1/24 Game Box truck I just bought for $25!!!! (I really should've saved the $ for the upcoming convention, oh well). It was too dope not to get and the perfect price!! now just waiting 4-6 weeks for shipment from Japan. [img1]
13 February 2019, 02:17
Chris GreathouseOh hell no, lol... It ain't no kermit 😛.... fun fact: I've never named a vehicle I've owned before (unless P.O.S. counts 😛 )
13 February 2019, 05:52
Martin OostromOkay, I miss my fix for a couple of days and you completed a Cuda. Chris Phillips it is!
Love the green!
14 February 2019, 14:22
Marco GallmannCool, it is a long time ago since I build my last car. I think the time is coming to try it again. Hopefully it looks as good like your one. Well done👍
14 February 2019, 17:41
Chris GreathouseYou put together ships and planes, a car should be simple 🙂... I'm scared of ships and planes and thanks!
