The micheals here always have kits on clearance. They usually do it when they get new kits in. Ive yet to see them make the modeling section smaller. Its usually just new inventory.
Nope they are 1/12th. I built an RC version of the midnight pumpkin which was the same kit with different chassis. the bodies from these RCs are quite nice. I think using detail parts from a 1/12th camaro or soemthing would be sick.
Not sure why the bashing on Dukefan even started to begin with but I am sure glad that school is out for the summer. I hate waiting for the yellow school buses in the morning while sitting in my car. Now I can leave the house later and still get to work the same time.
EDIT: LMAO at Marks gif. ^^^
Id just start with a level 2 kit. Both AMT and Revell offer a bunch of kits that are american muscle and whatnot. Maybe you can start with making a replica of your 1:1?
Im pretty sure the sale of those old cars arent forbidden. You can actually view some of them for sale on Cuba's craigslist.

EDIT: I also found a knockoff jeep. Thought it was interesting. Apparently it has a Nissan engine in it.

Who said you cant roll paint on a car?
Sure it aint no show car but, cant beat it for 15bucks. I actually still have 2 coats of paint left to put on it, and buff the paint.
Heres another thats pretty crazy IMO. I consider them lucky they didnt hit someone and kill themselves or something.
