    If you want to match that toyetic factory finish, you can't do without one! If you're going for the heavily-weathered look, however... ...a Dremel and some Q-tips may suffice. 😉 This bug has shiny chrome hubcaps, even on the spare tire. They've gotta go. Unfortunately, there's no sculpted detail underneath them... so I'll need to replace the hubs with 3D-printed VW rims. This is the look I'm going for. Now to start adding grime and rust to the body itself.

    Is there a third-party seller with stock on Amazon? My friend in GA contacted Amazon customer support, and complained that his pre-order was cancelled even though other sellers have the same product available. They told him to order from the third-party seller, and refunded him the difference.

    Inspiring work indeed!

    Generation Toy's superlative "Tyrant" reissue is still available from some online retailers... ...but it goes for about three times Leader-class price (before tariffs, of course). 😅

    Aging and weathering the driver's side door. We use dish driers in Japan. 😉

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that. 😓 Those were off-scale AND off-model. 🙄

    That works perfect for the Regults in DYRL... 👍 ...all 38 seconds of 'em. 🤣

    Oh, you don't know the half of it... Harry Dresden is 6'9". 😂

    Better grab a SHF '89 Batman before the aftermarket prices go through the roof! 😅

    Quite an exciting commission, actually. The client wants a model of "The Blue Beetle" from The Dresden Files, a series of novels about a guy who goes around fighting demons in a poorly-maintained old Volkswagen. According to the book, the original hood and doors were trashed and replacements were scavenged from other Beetles, resulting in a mismatched color scheme with all sorts of damage evident. This project affords me the opportunity to work backwards, starting with a completed 1:18 die-cast VW: I disassembled it as best I could, but couldn't separate the doors or the hood. Instead, I had to do a lot of careful masking to ensure distinct color separation. Apparently, the original doors were torn off by hellhounds, so I'm adding gouges and claw marks around the doorframes. Much of the weathering work I've done in the past is to make plastic look like painted metal. Adding damage to actual metal parts is a very different experience. 😅

    Yeah, lots of content to keep up with! Speaking of which: That Neptune turned out gorgeous, Bruce! I couldn't figure out what those bumps on the shoulder were supposed to be, and you turned them into a beautiful little mermaid. 😍 Isn't that a food dehydrator? 😅

    It's this image that bowled me over: That internal detailing is sick, dude. 😲 Really? I posted pics of mine two years ago. 😅 I went with a clean, toyetic look to match my Hi-Metal R figures.

    Sure, I mean, who would turn down a free... nightmare? 🤨
