  1. My exact thoughts as well.
  2. This kit is a variant/continuation of the Stranger Things 1985 Blazer kit and is out now. Here are Revell's official photos for reference.
  3. Curious to see photos as I don't live far away from this. I've never attended but would consider doing so in the future.
  4. I 100% agree with Steve on his recommendation. I bought the smallest size can of WD-40 and keep it on my bench. I use the nozzle straw and spray some into a small cup. Then I dip a Q-tip into it and use it to scrub the adhesive off. I then wipe the area off with a slightly wet micro fiber towel. I admit to not mixing it with Dawn, but I probably should. I've been doing this for about 4 years and haven't had a problem yet.
  5. It seems to look a bit better. If you're satisfied with your fix and you think there's some improvement, that's all that matters.
  6. Absolutely amazing work with the black trim paint!
  7. Thanks for the photos. Do you think there will be any news on what the next Stranger Things kit will be?
  8. I recently built a curbside conversion of the AMT Taurus into a police-package version of the Arizona Highway Patrol. For that, I had Wylde from canuck3D design some police wheels and L base model front and rear bumpers. For this conversion, it is important to use the 1990-1991 AMT Taurus kits (in my case, the Rescue 911 version) as they contain the accurate 1990-1991 only dash and steering wheel that coincided with the 1990-1991 police-package Taurus. Some other body work was also done to "de-SHO" the kit and I used the police vent decals only found on the CHP version to round out the look. As I mentioned before, this was strictly a curbside build and the engine bay and underside aren't meant to be seen as they are not accurate. It's not perfect, but it's close enough.
  9. Thanks, Carl. Ha! Good point. Thank you.
  10. Unfortunately I have not done that as it just adds another layer of work. Yes, I'm lazy in that regard...
  11. As someone else mentioned before, I use WIP threads to "keep notes." For me, WIP threads are as much about sharing information as they are for storing information for myself. I do realize that there is always a danger that the forum may crash or some/all of my threads may be lost. But I enjoy WIP threads and I know I would not enjoy keeping more traditional notes.
  12. Thank you, Gary! I too am a Ford guy, but I've grown to appreciate these Chevy trucks more and more.
  13. Gary, check out my recent Tahoe build as I did the exact same thing:
