Jnewboy Customs ~ Now on Facebook!

Post by Jnewboy » Sun Jul 03, 2011 9:40 pm

This will be my official thread that will be used to show my work here.

In addition to eBay I own an online model store at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Jnewboy
Where I currently have over twenty 1/18 custom products available for sale.

My purpose with this thread will be to update the forum with news concerning my work and update it with my most current projects.

Some of you have messaged me with offers and possible payment installments on my FW-190D-11 however it sold to a gentleman from Finland today.

My latest project is a 1/18 Custom ~ German Cargo Truck ~ Normandy 1944

Looking good! What paints do you use?

Thanks for all the kind words, yes it was an indy truck

As far as paint goes I use allot of stuff, Humbrol, Testors, Gunze
I sometimes paint by the numbers but I will custom mix color sometimes if something looks out of place.

Thanks Guys, hope you all have a Happy 4th

That would be cool but building tracks and chassis are out of my field of expertise go talk to the Woofer or Pickelhaube

Get a loan and come see me on the Jagdpanther :D
