Playing with paint on this Camino, put some interference pearl gold over house of kolor tangerine as a test for another car (black is just primer)

I did an AMT Brat pretty early on, came out a lot worse than this!

Nice job

Group Build for The Wheel and Sprue discord done just in time, had some struggles and it was fun translating the instructions, but happy to move on.

Not as bad as I would have thought! Typical modern aoshima, pretty good amount of parts and they fit together nicely. Probably should have painted pieces individually, but oh well.

Wow that is tiny! 1/24 is small enough for me, can't imagine working on something that small

Decals are fun, sometimes. Struggling but happy with the paint choice, excited to get to clear coating

Bit of a challenge but super fun, might need to learn some techniques to get this interior right

Test fitting this tamiya rx7, was planning on keeping the 13b out on the shelf but the engine bay is surprisingly nice.

It's the "DSPIAE AT-TV A&B Stainless Steel Clamp Vise", it is kind of pricey but I use it often, helps with my shaky hands.

Back to the EJ, might strip that acrylic Vallejo or might just do better on the next one

Efini rx7 from tamiya, or the older supra. (latter has an engine but you can glue the hood and keep it separate if you want)

Great palette cleansers for me
