New addition to Family Christmas Display
S noopy vs the Red Baron FULLY PAINTED (except for the white snoopy base) from Atlantis Models. You can build this without paint but it looks much cooler if you paint it up!!!:

There's a new resin kit out there, recently available on Ebay with an amazing likeness of Uncle Gilbert from the Munsters episode "Love comes to Mockingbird Heights". Be aware though to make this look nice there is much clean up work involved before painting, but the outcome is worth it. Here is the final buildup:
Many new 3D figures are coming out, check them out on Ebay and elsewhere, these are great for individual display or add them to your diorama with other plastic and resin kits. I just painted up some 3D Lost In Space characters from season one. The likenesses are most amazing on several of the characters. I did some prep work, sanding etc, matched them to a colorized version of season one, and did some special effect shading to create some realism:
Just completed a very large project, The Time Machine Morlock Fight Scene. These kits are from Monsters In Motion. Several kits are put together to create the ultimate scene. I merged, or should I say married, the Morlock kit with the larger base as they are separate kits. The base of the Morlock kit was redesigned and fitted using Super Sculpey. Here it is just after a final protective coating sprayed.
One of my favorite comedy shows of the 60's, The Beverly Hillbillies. Here's the MPC Model Hillbillies Truck. Enhanced with 3D printed characters of Jed, Jethro, Ellie Mae, their dog Duke and of course Granny. You can get these 3D figures on Ebay. You will need to adjust the legs to fit. Having the figures makes a huge difference, much better than just having the truck. I had this model for many years but never was inspired to build it until the figures came along. Much thanks to Ebayer Shaftman216:
Not many know this (including myself until requested to build it), but the pink panther had a panthermobile. It showed up in the 1969 Pink Panther cartoon at the beginning intro to the show. A really cool model although quite expensive because of its rarity. Here it is completed and airbrushed for a nice affect:
