My McLaren Senna in Cerulean Blue is complete and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thanks for your support throughout this challenging project!

Here’s the dashboard of the BOMEX RX-7 I’m currently building. What do you think? I might add a few more details.

Test fitting the interior and I’m liking the way it’s coming together. Nothing crazy, just a simple semi-gloss black finish.

@theScaleWS @ItaleriModelKit Thanks! 🙏

Finished up the dashboard details last night and now I’m ready to assemble the rest of the interior. There are 8 small decals on this part that really bring it to life.

Chassis assembly has gone smoothly so far. The fitment is decent, the detail is surprisingly great, and I’m happy with the simple paint scheme.

@PolskiJarek37 Great collection! I also have the Top Secret GT-R 👌

I’m interrupting my G-Wagon build to bring you some very exciting news. I am officially an Aoshima Ambassador and I couldn’t be more proud to work with such an amazing brand! Thank you Aoshima for giving me the opportunity to build wonderful quality model kits.

I spent a day painting all of the parts for the RX-7 build. I’m really happy with the amount of intricate details that show up on the chassis.

@HedleyCarter Thanks! I appreciate it 🙏

@tecnofobe thanks! 😀

@Charlietait8 Yeah, it’s sometimes difficult in Canada as well. I had this one sent to me straight from Japan.

[Blake • 1/24 Scale Models @ModelCarsCA]

@Sprigato Thanks man! 😀

The paint scheme and livery will match my 450 SLC rally car when I’m finished with this build. Next step is painting the window trim and installing the racing decals.

[Blake • 1/24 Scale Models @ModelCarsCA]

This project this coming along nicely so far. It’s not very complex, and the fitment is poor, but I’m still having fun with it.

[Blake • 1/24 Scale Models @ModelCarsCA]

Making some progress on my off-road build this weekend. We now have a rolling chassis that is ready to have the interior mounted on top. I’d say this build is about 75% complete and I’m excited to get into the final assembly stage. Stay tuned to see the rally livery I put on it.

@Bajaguy105 @ItaleriModelKit Love it! That’s exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for 👌

[Blake • 1/24 Scale Models @ModelCarsCA]

I finished assembling most of the chassis this week, except for the brake calipers and wheels, which I plan to install this weekend. This is a very simple kit but it’s still been a lot of fun to build.

[Blake • 1/24 Scale Models @ModelCarsCA]

@Bajaguy105 @ItaleriModelKit Nice! I’d love to build a classic pickup truck next.

[Blake • 1/24 Scale Models @ModelCarsCA]

@theScaleWS @ItaleriModelKit Absolutely! Especially because I haven’t had much time to build lately.

The frame and suspension have been painted and assembled. I painted the main components with TS-17 Gloss Aluminum and sprayed a thin layer of black over top.
