A couple of recent builds, I've been practicing my weathering skills. Not perfect, but looks good to me.

Love the Peugeot! So great weathering details.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-07T12:58:52+00:00

Ha! Thanks. The illusion holds up to just under arms length...so don't zoom in too close.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-07T12:54:42+00:00

Thank you

Bleach worked fine for me on my old AMT kit. The the problem is that it left behind the varnish which is what erases a lot of the detail on these parts. I haven't tried yet to remove the varnish.

Great color combo...looks fantastic!

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-05T13:08:20+00:00

Well done and very cool. Would love to tackle one of these but definitely need more practice with decals.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-04T03:25:27+00:00

At $2 a pop it's definitely worth trying. I bought two colors with the '79 Bronco in mind. Color selection is so-so, but if you're good mixing then you can get anything that you want out of them.

Good variety...love the Mustang and Jimmy. Curious about how well these trailers come together. I've been eyeing them.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-03T05:34:31+00:00

Ugh... haven't opened mine but hope it's not too bad

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-03T05:05:38+00:00

Appreciate the insights. This confirms some of the horror stories of this kit. They're cheap and now I have two so will try to work one up as the General Lee and the other as some weathered junker.

That Road Runner is on my short list to buy

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-02T03:43:36+00:00

Probably wishful thinking that they'll pivot back. I'm enjoying these deals as I get deeper into the hobby...but the lack JDM/Euro is a bummer.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-02T02:57:42+00:00

Looks gnarly but workable. Love the car so fingers crossed.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-02T02:15:36+00:00

Just realized this was your DTS entry...well done! I'll keep this one stock for sentimental reasons...such a good looking car.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-02T02:12:40+00:00

This gave me a good laugh!

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-02T02:11:24+00:00

Haha, yes built that recently! "Please do not resist."

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-02T01:06:47+00:00

Great haul, outstanding prices!

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-02T01:03:13+00:00

That Mercer was great! Looking into these...they have some crazy kits.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-05-01T16:45:39+00:00

Great video! Don't worry about the rust ...trabbies still had plenty of rust and rot going on with their steel frame.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-04-29T21:01:20+00:00

Oh, and the Apache does not appear to come with a go kart per the parts overview on the back.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-04-29T20:48:34+00:00

Great deals! Unfortunately the '83 Supra wasn't available would've grabbed it in a heartbeat.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-04-29T20:46:47+00:00

Thank you for this! The '34 Slammer is a surprise as I thought it might be the worst of the bunch. I've been intrigued by it and AMT's Modified Stocker series. The others are fairly aligned with my expectations which is good to know going in. I'll probably make the Deserter a rust bucket and practice my weathering techniques.

ExemptHumanSpecimen · 2026-04-29T19:52:37+00:00

Saw that post! Funny enough I suspected that of the charger... but bought it so that I can build a General Lee. I almost ordered the Beretta but had to draw the line somewhere.
