Do you also have 1:1 project cars?

⬆️🔼⏫ That right there, a sign, that you might need help. 😜 "No not me, Kurt says to himself." 🤫 I never knew Shipping Containers are controversial. Got it for the little sports car, top down is the only way to get in and out of the car. Back to carports, as you can see I *need one* behind the Honda, bike is a friend's who kinda needs to take it away. For this: Wait, you already have a pickup. But .... but I always wanted a Task Force era GM pickup. I blew the chance to buy a really nice, all original, white/red '55 Chevy Cameo last century, because there was an ugly hole in the fiberglass, and I thought "how cheap" and instead got a '48 Chevy 5 Window money pit. I never restored it. This '56 had the rust repaired, and the body is straight as can be for a 69 year old truck. Lived in Clarkdale/Cottonwood working with an ambulance company, was painted white over the best color for these. It's a Long Bed stepside. Look at that tailgate! The wood appears to be in decent shape, I would just put diamond plate in it's place if needed. All the junk is free. Everyone wants to see the engine..... owner said the original 265 Pontiac engine is out back, needs a rebuild, a 283 in place now. After my experience of dropping a crate 350 H.O. into the '68, I don't need to hot rod this (much) if I keep it. No power anything, love simple. Same 4 on-the-floor Saginaw transmission (I think) as my '68. Hasn't run in 20 years. Look at that gauge cluster, and dash pad! It was this, or the Reo. -
Welcome Mark.

I made a little more progress on this one a few years ago...some stuff in primer. I actually tried painting the body too but had some poor results and had to start over. I think it's still in a basecoat, with pearl yellow being the end goal.

Hi Guys, here are some pics from our regional trial a couple of weeks ago. Diesel and Whiskey had a lot of fun! So did my wife and I. We didn't earn enough points to qualify for nationals, but that's O.K. The photos were taken by a professional photographer and turned out quite well I thought I have many more but thought I'd just share these. I especially like the one of Whiskey coming out of the tunnel. He almost seams as though he is hunting. Our little guy, Bandit, is not old enough to play yet so there are no pics of him , but he got to visit with some of the other dogs. Jerry

Been a while since I posted, but it's been a while since I've been building too. I built this a couple years ago hoping it would be a "slump buster" but it didn't work. Just too busy with other stuff and a lack of motivation otherwise. But I have started building again and have one about to come off the bench soon, so thought I'd catch up. Nothing special at all and as far as I recall, built out-of-box save for maybe tires and stance adjustment. Paint would have been whatever I had around that was the right color. It's pretty sloppy but makes me happy to see in the display case.

No, I used thread and scribed the kit lines to open them. Lots of videos on YouTube etc.

1980 Jeep Macho Hondo
stavanzer replied to satterwhite78's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
One of the reasons I like this kit. Both of those are in the kit! Charles, a really great build of the Honcho! The details are well done. Where did you find the wheels? They really upgrade the kit. Good Show. -
Comparison Revell vs. MPC 1967 Corvette
iBorg posted a topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I'm working on restoring an old MPC Cosma Ray (Round2 please reissue!). It would make sense to rob the MPC Vette for parts but the Revell 1967 is a lot more common to get. Does anyone know how close these two 1967's are in size? Can the frames be swapped fairly easily? The MPC is one of their best kits of the era. How does it compare to the more modern Revell tooling? Thanks! -
Looks nice. Not such an easy build, I'm guessing.

Welcome, Mark. Some good advice from sidcharles. There's lots of good advice and tips and tricks here on the various forums throughout. Hope you will like all the forum has to offer. -
I haven't used this type of product, but what are the safety Precautions? I would pay attention to the safety recommendations. UV can damage the eyes and cause skin cancer (yet is beneficial for some skin problems)

Won’t be making it this year. Have some health issues in the family to look after. Nothing serious, but enough to keep me from straying too far from home for a few weeks. Enjoy! It’s always a good one!

Great job on the weathering! Being from Michigan that's how I remember pretty much every Nova I had seen for many years.

While work continues on Dragster #43 in my Top Fuel History collection, yet to be revealed...I thought I'd share this build of Eddie Hill's fueler from 1993. This is probably my most detailed dragster having won a couple IPMS show ribbons. I built this one BEFORE Revell came out with the kits with air deflectors, so I had to create those from a template. Cheers

Moebius 1/25 1964 Mercury Comet K-code
stavanzer replied to Justin Porter's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I had to buy the '65 Comet AFX Kit, just to get the Twin Nostril Hood for my Street Machine Comet, so if the '64 Comes with the same style unit, it saves me buying the extra kit. -

This is a 'kit diorama' supplied by Standard Oil for our Cub Scout Den; mom Ida Grace Humble was the job forewoman! I'm the geek on the right, top row. Why is the F4U bombing the site? The Cessna I was building went GB on me (age ten) and mom insisted that some survey aircraft be depicted, per the instructions, so it was available. Were those the days? Wicky, seventy years later... L to R: accountant, Forest Ranger, hippie, teacher, and Secret Service Agent (at Reagan's near-assignation) later. Mom teacher, also.
