1/20th Revell Fendt 728 Vario Gen7
BrianC replied to Luc Janssens's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
It's a great looking kit but at over $200 retail list in Canada it will be staying on the shelves...well some one else can have mine! -
I remember this from the show in Victoria, it is still just as impressive here! I love the colour and I hope to use it on something myself. Beautiful Martin.

1968 Mercury M350 Wrecker

Great build Chuck, the background certainly looks like the Prairies too. -
Stunning! Beautifully done - great craftsmanship. And really good photographs too.

Thanks again everyone. This was a quick build and more of a paint test than a serious build. My intention was to see what the Mr. Color Metallic GX paint looked like, and to try the AK Super Chrome for the first time. It was a lot of fun and turned out way better than I expected! I didn't take it too seriously and maybe that is the secret! Now where did I put that Pie Wagon kit.......... Thanks again for the generous comments.

I thank each and every one of you for your compliments, they are very much appreciated. I forgot to mention that I used AK Super Chrome for the first time, on the side tanks and nose cap. Not bad - but not quite chrome. I will try it again. I have a few more colors in the GX Metallic range - they do some cool shades for rods or customs. They need thinning a lot but spray well through my airbrush. I used Rough Gold on the Model A below. I also use the GX100 clear gloss.

I don't post builds online very often, however I am feeling brave today! Here is the Ice T that I finished recently. I used Mr Color GX Metallic Ice Silver for the main color. Happy New Year everyone!

BrianC replied to Chris Smith's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
A spectacular build Sir! I too am a fan of the late 60's through to the early 80's F1 era. It reminds me that I should start building some of the "good stuff" that I have been saving for my "retirement". -
Dear hobby friends....
BrianC replied to Luc Janssens's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
So here goes... What makes you decide to buy a certain model kit, is it? -subject matter/theme; muscle cars, sports rally, cars, pickups, hotrods, racing, classics, boat, plane, other...? not really. but I like oddball stuff, eg, I would buy an old Heller Mercedes panel over an AMT Camaro -does the box art sometimes make you purchase something you really didn't plan to, if so, give an example of such a kit? No -does the manufacturer brand influence your buying choice, and if so, which is your preferred and least preferred and why? Not really -what do you love about building a model kit and what's the least favorite part of the process? I like most parts however the sanding and filling of aircraft fuselage joints being the least favorite -does a high parts count scare you as too much of a challenge, or does a low parts count make you feel the product could be toylike? No - a mix of both is good -what type of kit do you prefer (glue, snap, full detail, curbside)? Any - depends on what it is -do you like building options, and if so, what (engine upgrade, choice of wheels, decals, other)? Not important to me -if you wish to give manufacturers a "non-subject matter" suggestion what would it be? For modern car subjects include die cut window masks! 1959 Cadillac 4 door hardtop - (flat top) 1930 Bentley Speed 6 1930 Alfa 2300 Monza 2008 Ford Mustang GT500KR Shelby Daytona coup replica Jaguar XJ13 replica Citroen DS23 Pallas -
Decal sheet question - Terlingua Racing
BrianC replied to BrianC's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Fred : I did notice that the resolution was low compared to what looks like an original in the lower part of Rex's photo. James: thanks for the heads up - as it turns out I would need to create an E-bay account to purchase them - something I have not done yet as I have purposely avoided E-bay in the past. Thank guys! -
Decal sheet question - Terlingua Racing
BrianC replied to BrianC's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thank you Rex and Kevin, just what I was looking for! -
I think I remember seeing a 1/24 decal sheet for the Terlingua Racing team. I have searched the places I know make decals and have not found any so far. I am getting old and it is quite possible I am imagining things........ Can anyone confirm that they were and hopefully still are made and point me in the right direction? Thank you.

MCM Relaunch Update 08/2020
BrianC replied to larrygre's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
I really hope the magazine returns, there will hopefully be a strong demand for it. I could only find one specialty automotive book store in Vancouver BC (300 miles away) who regularly stocked MCM in the past. Consequently I did not buy many copies I hope you can make the distribution to retailers more widespread, as I do not do subscriptions at all. -
Thanks for the info Scott, it is a great looking model and hopefully I might get to see it at one of the Vancouver area shows - when we are able to have them again! I am in Kelowna and there are a number of us who travel down tho the coast for the spring and fall shows. Obviously not this year though!
