69 COPO Nova in “Primer Pearl?” PICS FINALLY LOADED
Dominik replied to Kmb0319's topic in Under Glass
very nice combination from paint and interior. like it! Looks really nice in the sun. well done! the only Thing...perhaps you can Change the really massive antennastick to a thinner one? for example, i use 0.5 Diameter metal if it is in my opinion too thick. -
Like I mentioned to you at the show JC....I was into TROG before there even was a TROG. My first builds as an adult modeler returning to the field back in the 90s were subject matter that wouldve looked at home on the dry lakes back in the post war period. Guess that makes me a bona fide TROGlodyte!
-
Thank you for the great pictures. Nice to see a Dodge back in race trim again.
-
very nice - well done! Not often to see one built
-
They look great. You can almost smell the Cigar smoke from here.

Yeah, I would be devastated if I had a cat pass away that young. Nearly 10 years ago, I had one go.....he wasn't quite 10. Tore me up for weeks. He had liver failure and by the time I discovered what was wrong with him it was too late. My Dad had a cat that lived to be 23. She was a tiny thing, but it wasn't dwarfism as far as I know. I didn't know about Peggy Lipton till a couple days ago. I too am of that 'certain age' and remember her very well from "The Mod Squad".

Freightliner FLA (fsba) 1/25
Hermann Kersten replied to Hermann Kersten's topic in On the Workbench: Big Rigs
Thank you vince, that info helps indeed, thank you for that. Later i found out that there are 2 sizes, the 2" and 3,5" kingpin. Ok guys, i made some little progress on this one. Everything of the chassis is painted now, and i attached the wiring for the brakes and air supply. The engine is in between the chassis and after placing the engine, i could attach the batterybox on his support. Then the exhaust pipe and a cover for this exhaust what i used from the CTM-set. On the back i exchanged the AMT mud flaps with the CTM mudflaps, because these mudflaps are much thinner and nicer than the thick ones. For these mud flaps i had to make new supports. For the trailer wires i still need to make the connectors. With these connectors i will make coloured rings for the red and blue wires, I could not find a suitable size of these coloured wires. For the front wheels i will use bud hole rims. I have some 1/24 rims and i converted them into a 1/25 version. Later i will look wich one looks better for this Freightliner, the standard AMT rims, or the modified 1/25 rims. And together with the cab...... Ok guys, that's it for today, then i will start to finish the front grill and make a start with the 2 bumpers and lower grills. The small cabine details will be attached when the cabine has been permanently installed, this is an easier and safer way to do with the small details, instead to pick up the cab and have the risk that something will break off ........... at the very last moment. To be continued. Hermann. -
Looks like a half way good starter though, better than not having one at all. The $110.00 is a bit scary though!! WOW.... Thanks for the info!!!

Not a kit you see being done often anymore. The interior picture looks as if the hood in the background that you added stripes to the hood ? Like you I'm a Monte Carlo fan and previous owner. I had a super clean 1 owner '72 and a new '86 SS that I sold in 2001. Both provided perfect service with only standard maintenance and both saw 100k miles.

Looked around for you Bill...but didn't see you...thought you might've left. Understand why you best not push it...you did after all make the Big One up in Jersey just a few days earlier !

Steer Car and Kenworth tow rig—New Pics- 12-2-18
DrKerry replied to DrKerry's topic in On the Workbench: Big Rigs
Thank you Hermann!!! I need to get some pics of the dolly up yet.. -
Sorry I missed it this year again fellas! Looks like it was a good show! Wasn't feeling quite well, so I thought it best I not try to drive down there. Hopefully next year and then there's the Super September Showdown coming up before we know it. I gotta put in for time off for that Sunday night though. No way could I get to the show and them make it back home in time to get enough sleep for work that night.
-
Very realistic looking and a great paint job. Now then, with those left over parts are we going to see a short Caddy ? My be even a Corvette type build ?
-
I heard your name mentioned during the awards...saw you get a trophy...but not sure which model earned the accolades. I think I was suffering from sleep deprivation that day.

69 COPO Nova in “Primer Pearl?” PICS FINALLY LOADED
Kmb0319 replied to Kmb0319's topic in Under Glass
I used Testors Flame Red. It’s a gloss paint, but comes out semi-gloss without clear coat. I used a little Testors flat cherry to make the center seam. The red embossing powder is a little lighter than the paint color, but I like the contrast. -
I found out last night that, in December, I'm gonna be a grandfather. I still don't have my head fully wrapped around it, because I swear my son was just eight a few weeks ago and suddenly he's a 26 year old man. It's a mixture of joy and terror.
