67 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT

17 May 2013 - 10:20 AM

Really loved the way this turned out, outside of the error on the back merc symbol and the poor fitting issues i got this thing done and it was a very hard model car to make, not recommend this kit for begging as it will make you mad! Color is Model master Classic Black and Interior is Testors Dark red, pretty much a stock build outside of some printed gauges, a few photo etch items and some wires, one of my favorite builds so far as i really liked the color combination. Also as i keep saying many times before, i need more 70-71 cyclone kits! Why are they 225$ on ebay! Other then that here you go with pictures:

Sukhoi T-4 Sotka

10 May 2013 - 12:28 PM

This is seriously the coolest and the rarest model out there, i cannot find them anywhere! And i highly doubt it will be re issued as not many people are interested in Soviet experimental aircraft, i already own a 1/72 tu 160, 1/144 Concorde and 1/144 tu 144 which i recently bought, and man i wish i could find this thing it is so interesting and unique. Has anyone ever owned one of these?

Finally finished 69 Nova Yenko SS

08 May 2013 - 09:47 PM

Well this is not one of my best builds but this was one tough little car to put together, the new streetburner edition of the revell kit seems to have more fitting issues than my entire collection of amt kits.. Tried my best to make it look as real as possible but not going overboard as this thing nearly drove me nuts! Color is testors green and most of the black colors inside and under are rustoleum flat/semi gloss black, the car has no clear coat. Had quite a lot of issues fitting the wheels on it as they are not from this kit, cragars from a 1970 amt impala kit and i have no idea where i got the rally gt wheels from but found them in the junkyard pile and they seemed like a perfect fit.. not.

Working on the Railroad.

25 April 2013 - 05:48 PM

I know a very out of topic question but i find these forums have very interesting people from all aspects of life, so i am wondering how many of you guys work in the railroad industry as a conductor switcher etc, i am looking to get into either CSX or Norfolk Southern and wanted to ask if anybody here had a long term experience in these fields and what you guys have to say, what to avoid and what not and how to keep a steady a job in this field. Thank you in advance.
