I don't expect ya'll to comment since I've not commented here at all (but I will as I stay longer), but here are a handful of kits that I've glued together and painted a bit. Crits are welcome from such a skilled group of people.
This is my favorite model to date. Tamiya Lotus 7, scratchbuilt cycle fenders, kit tails as headlights, Corvette tails, Honda F20C (from the S2000, cast in resin after the Sakatsu white metal kit), scratch ITBs, etc.

This was probably the most fun. You can really let loose when you go outside your usual repertiore. Aoshima Hilux with scratched jack, lights sourced from everwhere, modified rear axle and leafsprings up front for solid front axle conversion, removable spare, scratch winch, some mods in the interior but nothing too fancy. I wish the paint on it were better, I may rebody it in the future.

Hasagawa EG Civic. Interior work to make it look like a genuine tuner. This was a lot of fun, and rewarding. I'd been itching to do a solid Honda for a while. Seats are SAS, belts are SMS, the rest inside is scratched and detail painted, and the dash was swapped to LHD. Also did some work to the rear subframe. Rear bumper sticker says "NA is best!" Because it is.
