Progress made this weekend on DMC. The paint ate into the styro foam giving the effects shown. I think it turned out great.   Now I have to add some color variations, some sand,foliage, pave the road, and a few minor things and it will be done. It will be a dio of Jan and Deans song Deadman's Curve. |

Use styro to hold and paint parts allot, I new enamel eats it up. Never thought about using it for a stone effect. Gonna have to try it. Cool tip!

What's the length of those pickups? About 1 1/2-1 3/4 Inch. They are from Lifelike, and come 4 to a card. Retail for under $10.00 They also do make into a nice Custom.  The 32 Coupe is Jordan Kit. |

I'm thinking of making the move over to that type of scale. I love these 1/24-25 but I've been interested in a do like diorama. Thanks for the info.
