Little Blue Corvette

Never Too Young to Die was a unique blend of ridiculousness. It starred post-KISS Gene Simmons, pre-Full House John Stamos, and Denise Matthews and Robert Englund right in the middle of their respective times as Vanity and Freddy Krueger. The plot was a smash-up of The Karate Kid and James Bond, but somehow still reminds me of Dragnet (the Dan Aykroyd/Tom Hanks one). It wasn't necessarily good, but it wasn't boring. Dumb as it was, though, it managed to include a sequence with Matthews driving Fast & Furious-style with a fourth-gen Corvette. Continuing my appreciation of the C4, I converted another promo into her ride.

Got it Bad, So Bad

When the "Cars of the '30s" theme was announced for NNL East 2016, it seemed like a good idea to finally break out a project that had been on my "to do" list for a long time. Turns out it was a good thing I waited, though, as my experience building the Deuce of Spades roadster turned out to be invaluable when it was time to work on the Hot for Teacher Phaeton.

If Anyone Asks, I Killed You

Despite my time constantly scouring for model news and sources for projects, I still get surprised every once in a while. Case in point: I was browsing Entertainment Earth and somehow stumbled across their pop culture keychains. My previous experience has been that character jeychains are too clumsy to use with my actual keys, and too crude for model fodder...but the photo looked really good, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm glad I did, because with only a few minutes of work, I had a pretty decent Defective Sentry to go with the rest of my 1/24 robots.
