The Titan kit shouldn't be any different from the Astro Kit and that I found wasn't too tricky! Maybe the typical amt bugs like bent chassis rails or so but yours Looks pretty strait. Have fun! 😊

The aged and dirtied engine looks cool. Can't wait to see how the rest develops! 👍

I would have thought that if anyone had made them, it would have been Keith Marks, but I didn't see it listed on his Fotki album. The only Formula decals I see for around that year is the black stripes along the bottom of the car. I don't know of anyone else doing factory stock type decals. You might try contacting Keith Marks and see if it is something he might be planning to do. Steve A.

I sent you a PM a few days ago about maybe helping out with the decal problem. If I can help out, just let me know. Steve A.

Started adding the bare metal foil trim. I decided to add the chrome trim on the sides, not to many Nova’s had that I think it looks cool

I have one in my stash too. This has got to be the most stashed model on the market. Kudos to you for building it Pat, you did a great job!

I've heard of two-doors and four-doors, even occasionally a "five-door," but this is the first time I've ever seen a "No-doors!"

Thank you!

Yes, but they very often provide extensive training and practice for paramedics!

Thanks Pierre Rivard. David, I know nothing of any RC Cars. I had one of the first Tamiya Beetle Sand Scorchers about 35 years ago, but the batteries were so lacking in power for more than 15 minutes I got rid of it!

Brother can you spare a dime? Was not a phrase that a drug addict would ask but rather one that a down on their luck individual would ask.

Beautiful, great work.

Right about now, the funks..... oh, brother......

Generally yes. The particular epoxy that I use can sit for at least 5 minutes before it begins to tack up. Depending on the particular assembly that needs to be performed, I’ll either apply the glue and then immediately mate the parts if it’s a pretty secure connection, followed by a check after about 10 minutes to be certain that the positioning is correct, or else I’ll mix the glue, apply it to one of the surfaces to be mated, and then let it sit for 5 minutes or so, after which I’ll check for tackiness. If the glue is sufficiently tacky to hold the part securely in position without sliding around, then I’ll assemble the parts, and again, return probably ten minutes later to verify that it’s still in position. I’ll usually continue to make periodic positioning checks until the remaining glue on the mixing card is completely hardened, which probably takes about 15 or 20 minutes. Steve

Love it. Very creative.

Man you got that right!!

Not anymore! It should be on its way to my mailbox soon. 😊

Thanks, Tony. As I have mentioned before, I am a ceaseless experimenter. It is time for the “chrome” trim. My second time using the Hasagawa stuff. My first time with the short scalpel with the curved blade. I also use the 1 mm double hobby knife blade and cut out narrow strips as opposed to trimming on the car. A couple of pictures that, hopefully, will allow you to see the results. I like it, myself. Relatively easy to apply this way, little buffing, definitely less wrinkly than bmf, and shiny. Took some pics of the car before I started to give you some idea of what it looks like before.

Hellcat and 4 door Bronco Sasquatch!!! Hope round2 can take notes on this!

Thank You. Appreciate it.

Everything looks great. The dash is greatly detailed. I try to stay away from such details by building Altereds and such where that kinda detail is needed…

Thanks for mentioning about the NNL East. I forgot that is happening this month.

I really wish I had any kind of styrene or evergreen rounds, but I make do with what I have! I also just realized I don’t have any drills

Nicely done. It's a good looking truck.
