I remember you pulling a Godzilla on that.🤣I would drive that for sure if I was 1/25 scale. 🤣You and I are like a bull in a china shop. 😃 Awesome attention to detail, Frank. Thanks for the tool for the old dog's toolbox.👍
A lot of modelers skip spending time on the under carriage of the model. I find the chassis is one of the most interesting aspects of a kit. It's a great pallet to combine different colors and shades. Especially on foreign cars or kits such as Tamiya subjects. Domestic cars are somewhat simplistic but like your Porsche it's a great opportunity to make something exceptional for the eyes to look at. 👍
Your car model channel is absolutely top-notch!

It's clear that you're passionate about the craft, and your creativity really shines through in every video. Keep up the fantastic work-your content is a treat for anyone who appreciates scale modeling!
I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you... That gun metal is really nice. Too bad everyone is out. Gaia seems kind like mr. hobby and top studio where they release a batch of product and you gotta get while it's there or it'll be gone for a long time. I did the Boxster for the GB too. the original one. it was a really fun kit. Yours looks fantastic. Great tip there at the end.
Very impressive. With the right lighting and angles, it looks like a 1:1 Boxter. I thought the blue accents made it pop. So many cars are painted dull grays or metallics between silver and black -- very boring unless the wheels, calipers, or other little pieces are painted a bright color. A couple of years after I bought my new 2000 Dodge Dakota, I pulled the calipers and rear drums to paint them with high temp bright blue paint. When I put them back on, bleeding the front calipers was a pain, but totally worthwhile on a "light driftwood metallic" pickup. I went ahead and added slotted rotors too.
@@TXGRunner I almost bought a 1997 Dakota brand new…I was just about to turn 25…I walk into a dealership in Astoria and I start looking at the floor model. Older guy walks over to me and asks if any salesmen had spoken to me yet. I said no I just walked in…he points me over to a guy named Steve and tells me to talk to him. I walk over to the guy and tell him I’m looking for a short bed 4x4 with the club cab. He tells me they’re not coming out until the 1998 model year, but he can call around and see what’s out there. I said ok. He looks me dead in the eye and says “If I waste my time finding this truck for you and you can’t get financing, you better have cash on you or I’m gonna kick the s-t outta you.” I had no idea what my credit score was and I didn’t have cash so I tucked tail and left. I waited a year and bought a new Neon from the dealer in my neighborhood instead. Helluva gamble to buy a pickup truck!
@ Wow, I would've left after that even if I had the cash with me in a briefcase. Being from Texas, I think I just react differently to such comments. I was looking at Challengers in 2009, but I was dressed like a slob (I was on vacation from working in Iraq) so one sales guy was very dismissive. When I started to get into my Jaguar, he was interested, but I wasn't. That Dakota was my first new vehicle. I went to several dealers around San Antonio. One was downright rude. I went to a small town in the next county and that sales guy was great. He found kept asking questions to find additional discounts (found 2, $1000 each), but I started going through brochure picking what I wanted. Of course, with 300 trucks on the lot, they're all one of three configurations, none that I wanted. I was really naïve, but for $30k I thought I should get what I wanted. He said he'd look around in Texas to see if he could find something close. Two days later, he calls saying he found a truck, but he has to trade a vehicle he has for one at this other dealership 4 hours away near Houston. I was on board and agreed to go by to sign papers. Then he explained for a single vehicle, they hire drivers, which means my truck will arrive with over 240 miles on it. ...or I could drive their vehicle over, my vehicle back, and they'd reimburse gas. Of course I said yes. My dad lived near the other dealer. Picked up my truck with only 7 miles on odometer, drove to my dad's to show him, spent the night, and then was at dealer the next morning to complete sale. I loved that truck. Here, in Poland, I drove 8 hours to buy a 2004 Dakota somebody imported 9 years earlier. The Gen III Dakota is fantastic. I have 3 Lindberg Dakota kits I'll use to test out colors for repainting this Dakota. Cheers.
Beautiful work Frank👏👏. The buff custom mix is impressive.👌
It's an elegant color. Beautiful work as always Frank!

Or maybe the horse drowns...who knows?...
I too spend too much time on something no one else will see. Someday I'll stop that.
