they all redirect to motortrend, says something about european data laws then opens motortrend
It’s because your visiting the page from Europe and they haven’t made the necessary changes for complying with the European data laws (GDPR). Witch basically means that they must inform you of witch kind of Personal data they are collecting from you and for what purpose. And that they must erase all data they have been collecting about you if you ask them to.
You will probably be able be able to solve this by getting an VPN-service that’s makes it look like you’re located in the states. There are a lot of different VPN-services to choose from.

I remember your post. I probably should have searched before posting. After all my years on earth, this is my first 1st generation Ford GT purchase that wasn't Hot Wheels. I have plenty of the latest generation diecast/plastic kits.
Have you seen the GT 40 from Exoto?
https://www.exoto.com/s/1/ProductList.aspx?Language=&AttributeType=Category&AttributeId=490
The prices are beyond my budget but the details look very nice.I managed to buy a Shelby Cobra 289 from Exoto from a German dealer for a good price (not even close to Solidos price range though).

Brookfield have made some four door promos from the 90s.
Chrysler Cirrus
Dodge Stratus
Plymouth Neon
Dodge Neon
Oldsmobile Aurora
They also made some fully opening diecasts in 1/24 like the Dodge Intrepid, Chrysler New Yorker, Chrysler LHS and Chrysler Concorde.

747
I like big planes and the 747 is beuty unlike any other passenger plane in its shape, sadly they are getting rare.

That car belonged to the Swedish police and was used by a SWAT team.
It had the nickname “Svarta Maja”, Svart is black and Maja is a common female name in Sweden.
Could be translated to Black Maya.
If you search for “1939 svarta maja” on google you will find more photos.

Thanks for your advice, I have contacted uscp and they can make these wheels.

I have also been looking for such wheels. I have not found an exact replica but there is some steelies in certain japanese kits.
If there is any consolation in it, I have a set of 1:1 rims like that in my garage, 14" I belive.
I have also searched but haven’t found them.
The closest I have found so far is these two.

It would be great if you had a 3D-scanner, then we could make our own model.

Looking for these wheels in 1:24 / 1:25.

Volvo C202 from 1979 in nice condition, by the red color and the black and white rims it used to belong to the fire department.

I particularly like the 911T. There have been a few interesting 911 Police cars.
Yes, its a nice car. I also like how they put it next to the Volkswagen, same but different
Porches were used by the Swedish police from 1965 until 1973.
In 1965 the police decided that they needed some faster cars and were looking at two alternatives, Volvo P1800 and Porsche 912. They decided to go with 912.
In 1970 they decided to replace some of the 912:s with 911T because they thought that the 912:s engine wasn’t reliable enough for police use.

Built this a couple of years ago, didn’t turn out perfect but good enough for me.

Decent looking Ford. Looks like you had some trouble with the hood?
Yes, I had some trouble getting it to seal shut. Don’t know why though, the hood isn’t to wide or to long. Maybe it’s something with the hinges. Should have test fitted before I started to build.
I’ve bought one more which hopefully will turn out better thanks to everything I learnt from building this one.

There’s some discussions about Lindberg 1:20 kits on this site lately so I thought it was a good time to show my completed Ford Explorer Sport from Lindberg.
I built this kit five years ago and it went fine to built, lots of details.
There were three issues I remember, the taillights were tricky to get in place.
The backside of the frontseat didn’t match completely so I had to use a sandpaper to remove the excessive material (so you don’t se the line between the front- and backseat).
I also hade to drill out the holes in the roof for the roof rack (there were holes on the inside of the roof but they didn’t went all the way through), this can also be a good thing if you don’t want a roof rack.
Overall, this was a joy to build as I like the subject.
The glue on the taillights is a result of my struggle to get them to fit, they do fit but it was tight.

And may I ask,where you got this Cherokee?Very cool Diecast.
I bought it on eBay, there made in China.
This is the ”cheaper” version, there’s an fancier edition with chrome grille and a bunch of other nice details but it costs a lot more. There’s an European manufacturer called Otto that also offers a version (“Limited” version) but its curbside without opening doors and engine.
They aren’t that rare so u should be able to get one for a good price.

Nice jeeps boys! Like your XJ Ron, mine is an 01 with 190,000 on her now, still uses no oil! Wish someone would have made an XJ kit, would love to have one
Even though this one I have is a diecast and not a kit I thought I might mention it.
its in 1:18 and have opening doors and trunk.

I’ve been following the work with this car at this forum for along time and been planning to add a comment for a long time but I don’t know how to describe how amazed I am about this product.
Thank you so much for all work that all of you are putting into this!

I’ve always liked the design of jet skis.
And yours look fantastic.
Been thinking about buying a 3D-printer for years maybe it’s finally going to happen after seeing these kind of results.
