This green is awesome.  Congrats.

That's a beautiful truck!  Really top work.  I did mine box art and always kind of regretted it because I don't think the color is very realistic or flattering.  Yours fixes that problem.

I built mine boxart like you and I loved the lavend purple. Maybe a metallic one could be better. And it didn't need clear coats to be shiny. But this blue green is awesome. 

The color gets most of the credit. Its TS-60 Pearl Green BTW, stumbled onto it at my LHS (which is why in person shopping is so much fun!) and instantly loved it.

 

Today I did some repair/modification of the molded shock mount bosses that are all cracking on my M-02 Alfa Guilia. 

Not too huge, just ground off cracked boss, drilled through @ 3mm to attach with ESN and made up difference with metal spacer.

Before and after below.

Also installednew lower arms.

Picked this up last week; it needs a little TLC.Nice to have some projects for the autumn and winter 😄I'll also have to try my hand at some plastic welding 😐

Nice box

Had to look up the retailer sticker - apparently it's FAO Schwarz so I was surprised I hadn't seen one before. Then again US Tamiya kits were inevitably shrink wrapped, whereas UK importer RiKo slapped their label on the bare box (and often anywhere, at any angle).

The sticker is from one of Norway's oldest toy stores:
O. Nilsen in Hammerfest.

That seems to be happening a lot with Google - it's wrong, but _very_ sure about it

Then you get a different answer when you look a second time,

I should just click 'like' then move on :| 

 

I’ve cleaned this up and given the driver a makeover.
