    Very nicely done! Way more of these on the road than coupe devilles.

    I like that! Love the weathering, something I'm keen to try but not confident enough yet.

    Danny at Scenes Unlimited has period correct front and dual rear wheels. Top notch products and a great guy to deal with!
  5. George Bojaciuk
    Hart’s Parts re top shelf, as well!

    Or toilet paper?

    Just about finished with the '68 Road Runner kit, 1/25, but I have misplaced the front bench seat! Seriously misplaced. I have looked everywhere, including boxes of other kits. Help! Thanks

    wow, now that's a paint job! What a cool custom😎

    Gotta love those "California Special" tires that screech and squeal on gravel and sand. Plus the optional colour (and trim level) changing interior on those Ford pickups.
  10. bbowser
    All of the above, great model!
  11. Rob Hall started following Who on the board will be building the Supernatural 67 Impala as a police car?

    Yes, rear window is also more vertical than on the hardtop, so different C-pillar shape. Basically the whole roof is different, which is typical of the era. 4dr sedans and 4dr hts were pretty different. A resin Biscayne or Bel Air will be nice, along w/ the different interior trim.

    Yep. The Mack DM800 mixer has longer chassis rails and a hard bar Mack suspension too. Ben

    I'll be getting a Resin Bench seat, and building mine with a 327 from another kit. Those are all the concessions I'm making for my build.
  16. doorsovdoon
    Its' begun! Just a bit of sub assembly and getting everything in primer.
  17. fiatboy
    There is an aftermarket company, 'something Squads' that has nice police car pushbars.

    I enjoy the odd poem now and then myself.

    Very nice!,Tamiya has a winner with this kit.
  20. doorsovdoon
    Thanks, guys. Yeah, they are pretty much all showroom stock. It's not something I stubbornly stick to, I'd like to do weathering, rusting etc but I'm not brave enough to venture there yet as I'm still relatively new to this. My most adventurous build was the Cyclone with the raised rear leaf springs, that and a custom steering wheel is all I did and I was nervous doing just those, lol. I had fun building that one though and definitely want to do another, maybe with a blower sticking out of the hood. I wasn't confident enough to do that with this Cyclone.

    Has anyone with definite knowledge confirmed the '63 Chevy II Nova wagon IS the wagon mentioned in the Round2 video?
  22. fiatboy
    Hi. I'd like to try 'foil-casting'. But what brand, etc. to use? Thanks.
  23. Casey
    The most recent re-issue was a limited release (not a huge number of kits produced) and prices are in the $40 or so range now, so it might be best to build your kit and enjoy it. Other than newer radial tires and new decals, the kit has changed very little:

    Whoa this is a super clean job. Beautiful conversion man. You even made the correct bumper filler panels!! Way to go man!!

    Tamiya has done a full run of 1/24 scooters . They were bonus parts to car kits, and available as a set of 4 . They also did a run of 1/12 scooters .... ask me how I know 😂😂😂 it’s an obsession ....

    I agree there are too many R32s, but as a race car guy it's incredibly frustrating that Tamiya is sitting on a mound of race car tooling that would sell - most of it doesn't even need decals at this point - and none of it has seen the light of day since it's original runs in the 80s & 90s. Hasegawa & BeemaNuNu are throwing that era racing kits out in all formats and Tamiya gives me turned metal throttle bodies on a Lotus. Speaking of which the Lotus 79 isn't the best example, since it's the same race car, at least with an R30 (despite all the Aoshima kits) there are a bunch of civilian and race R30s, and Hasegawa seems to be able to crank at least 5 variants out of everything even if it means putting a resin chin spoiler in the kit. You'd only need one Lotus 79...maybe two if there's a race specific version, but you can build several Skylines however you'd like. 😅 Aoshima also gets all my thumbs down right now as they've turned into an even more conservative company than Tamiya in terms of their releases. There have been what...4 new tools in the past half decade, and I'd love to see the sales numbers on that Toyota Taxi. The Pro Box is getting it's 4th kit in October, but how many Mazda Familia Vans did they move? The R34 4 Door gets it's 5th version (if you count the original Custom Wheels version of the 1st releases as it's own kit) as a Police Car in October, and the URAS Type-R FINALLY saw the light of day. I know Fujimi is off playing in 1/72 military land right now, but I'd love to get one of the 3 promised Jimny kits instead of the 14th reissue of the Hustler.

    3DScaleparts is AMAZING ! I love dealing with mike . He’s doing a one off set of wheels for my 1:1 replica currently , also did the wheels and other parts on my Cadillac build .
