I think you should pick up a cheap kit from somewhere and give it a try. I'm sure you'll surprise yourself. If you really want to get fancy, use those extremely high grit (5000 to 12000) sand paper that I see many builders use. I don't really trust the Amazon ones since many of the reviews say they are no where near those grit ratings. |

After I finish the Chaser, I may put the models on pause since I'll be working on my R32 (not really looking forward to paint correcting that since cleaning the interior already got my body aching).

Started putting the build models in the display cabinet I finally got and built.
Bottom will be the R32, R33, and R34. Above that will be the sedans (with the EVO6 being the oddball, non VIP). 2nd to top will be the Hakosuka and S15. And the top will be the R34 with the HD RB26, and the other R32. Ah, stupid forum not keeping the pic in portrait. |

A lot. I have a 13 to do the FRS some day. Need the later model to do the Hakone. By the time I pay for exchange, shipping and duty a 17+ (Aoshima nd Tamiya both call it a 2016) would be pushing $120. Half of that is shipping since costs are outrageous to ship here for some reason. Nobody in Canada has one ins stock so it would have to come out of the US. I just don't want to do one that badly!

Not gonna lie, I was thinking about LED lighting, but I was thinking either vertical strips on the four corners for each level, or 4 spot lights on the top of each four corners on each level. |

Let me get info on what my son did for his statues. He has that exact same cabinet (well about 4 of them) and experimented with several lighting set ups before he found one that worked well.

Just soe basic led strips set in a V pattern. They should be dimmable though to get the best effect. He says this gives the least shadowing or back lighting.

That is one of the kittens that was living under my side porch last year. He likes to help play video games.
