    Hi, All. It has been awhile. The summer modeling doldrums are here, I guess. I am sharing a single photo of a surprise vehicle Carlos sent to me with my last order. It is not offered on his website but has become my favorite vehicles. It is a woody wagon. It painted with both acrylic and spray can paints. It takes a lot of masking and prep work but the effort is worth it. I added some surfboards to the roof. They came from a MTL waterfront kit. I will add fins to the boards in the fullness of time. I am taking it slow while I recover from an accident but have finished off another dozen or so of his vehicles. I hope you enjoy it. Ask any questions. Happy Summer. Jim

    Thanks, Kurt. The worst is over and I am in PT now. It's just a matter of time. I don't have a beach scene, yet. I do have an El Camino with a couple of surfboards in the back as well. So I guess I am sub-consciously planning one and don't know it. LOL

    Thank You, Scott. I used a combination of Tamiya 1mm and 6mm masking tapes. The wood panels are Vallejo 71.033 (yellow ochre) and Vallejo 311 (New Wood.) The red is Tamiya TS-8 (Italian red) spray can. The roof is Vallejo 72.051 (Black.) The chrome is done with a Molotow chrome 1mm marker and the windows are done with pigmented ink markers. It took a couple of days to complete but I think it was worth it. Jim

    Jim great work as always. I never would have thought you could get results like that without a brush and a steady hand. Real nice!
