  1. Past hour
  2. Thank you Craig. I couldn't agree more, as one of the more beautiful kit-bashes of this model came from our friend @Phil Dauphinee and his gorgeous 1948 Ford Woody resto-mod seen here:
  3. Man,, that Bronco is looking beautiful, Roaster..
  4. Thank you David. The side decals were actually extras from an Atlantis Tom Daniel Pie Wagon kit, but seemed right at home here.
  5. Michael madsen died of cardiac … I liked him in the getaway remake with Alec Baldwin and Kim Baysinger. Also Specinger..
  6. This is just getting better and better. Love the steelie drivers, that makes it look like a worker , love this.
  7. Victories can come in many forms..
  8. Beautiful builds!
  9. I built this car many years ago when the kit was first issued. I never was happy with the paint (too dark) . I must have used gold as a base coat. Not bad but it didn't match the real car and that bothered me. I decided that a repaint was in order! Tamiya clear red over a silver base coat along with some new Slixx decals. Nice color. Only took me about twenty years to correct it!😀
  10. I see on their site they are offering sale prices for the 4th of July.
  11. Brian ,this truck is awesome ,all the scratch building is just amazing. Great job.
  12. Jerry thank you , sorry responding so late I really didn’t have any issues with the front axle turning, sorry I’m not much help .
  13. The guy who ran a red l and went straight for the center lane I was turning into, almost taking my bumper off.
  14. Thank you Brian the fuel stain is from AMMO wash’s first time I’ve used them. Thank you Hakan. Thank you Jeff , I was going for a truck that worked hard but not abused .the paint turn out alright sprayed right from the cans . Thank you Steve coming from the master of 1/32 scale rigs. Had a little time at the bench today , got the rear wheels done, wasn’t happy with lug nuts that came with the wheels so I used Meng 1.4 mm nut and bolt castings , hung some chains a spear tire on the headache rack , and added some lights also added full fenders and a Loves mud flap (the other flap fell off some where down the road ) LOL . Have too add the roof lights ,horn and mirrors plus other little things. P.S. Pay tribute to Jamie with flaps on the head ache rack. Thanks for looking .
  15. Makes my heart go pitter-patter 😍... Very nice!
  16. A side note their tires/ wheels are 20% off on EBay. Been tempted to get their Artillery Wheels with big/littles.
  17. That is cool!
  18. Thank you sir. I just ordered two of them from their site.
  19. Good job! Very clean.
  20. Today
  21. The pre-1963 six cylinder Falcons and Comets won't take a 289/302 V8 as a bolt-in deal. Ford re-engineered the Falcon to take the V8: different suspension bits, heavier gauge metal for front "frame rails", torque boxes, etc. One of my brothers put a 302 into a '62 sedan delivery in the Seventies. The transmission tunnel even needed a bit of "persuasion" with a small sledgehammer to fit a C4 transmission and bell housing. He split the difference and spaced the transmission crossmember down a bit, as he had a really solid Arizona car and didn't want to hack on it. I don't know if it's true, but I have heard rumors of V8 converted early Falcons having issues with front frame rails and shock towers spreading further apart under the strain of the conversion. A Mustang II front suspension or tube axle might be the way to go with those cars now.
  22. Nah, I think that I've just become lazy or my skills have diminished . I don't care . I still have fun building models.
  23. Moebius probably had some of the same designers that Ertl had. At some point RC2 (not Round 2) cut back and let everyone go, after that they were probably freelancing. Lindberg's '61 Impala chassis and engine look an awful lot like AMT's '62 Chevy kit pieces as well.
  24. Agreed. Years ago, I saw a review/buildup of the Moebius 61 and I'd swear it was the same underpinnings as the AMT 62 I'd just finished. Did Moebius license/borrow/buy parts/tooling from AMT/Round 2, did they outright copy/clone, or was it something else?
  25. AI has self-preservation 'instincts', for lack of a better word. I guess it has had that since video games were invented! That means it is willing to sacrifice something (people included!) to keep from being shut down......... They have found this out through running scenarios with it........
