  1. I checked out their website. Pretty cool little campers. A lot more basic than those campers that are well into the 6 figures. And I like the more basic approach. They still look quite nice, and I wouldn't be afraid to get a little dirt in them. I also find it interesting that they appear to be using the same LED light on the back that I have bolted to my fence in the backyard!
  2. Luna in her natural habitat. "Why yes, I would like some bbq pork."
  3. Our squirrel is back, enjoying his feeder.
  4. I have 74 new 2025 Ford Econoline chassis that were shipped today. Now en route to a couple of body builders in the US to get turned into shuttle buses. Which means I have four very happy clients that will be getting 74 shiny new bills of sale over the next couple of weeks. Going to be a good spring!
  5. Looking to trade both of these. I acquired them a couple of years ago, and really don't need them to sit for a several more years. Boxes are showing their age, decals might be savable. But both kits appear to be complete. Might be some gluing on a few parts, but it's not "gluebombed" together or anything. Monogram Buck GNX Monogram Monte Carlo SS Would trade both of these for any one of the following: Tamiya DTM cars - Mercedes, Alfa Romeo Tamiya Volvo 850 - race or street versions Tamiya BMW or Mercedes Fujimi, ESCI, Italeri - Land Rover or Range Rover Italeri truck or trailer Porsche kit of almost any kind. Or I'm open for discussion. Keep in mind, shipping to Canada.
  6. Beautiful work! I wish Ferrari would bring the gloss red back to their F1 cars.
  7. Definitely a rarity in this part of Canada! used to be everywhere back in the late 80s / early 90s. Always thought these were a cool car. Even though their underpinnings where pretty bland.
  8. Here are some Vipers. And the Viper truck. All four kits appear to be complete except for the engines & transmissions. The ACR has been started by previous owner. Will trade all four for any one of the Tamiya kits listed above. Or an Italeri truck or trailer.
  9. I'm not great with wiring, but that looks complicated. Lots going on for a Tele. What's with the paint job? At first it looked like white paint over a crackle finish. But then that original finish doesn't quite look like crackle. I LOVE crackle finishes.
  10. 8am and it's currently plus 7 degrees. Supposed to get up to 16 degrees Celcius over the weekend. I love it. Oh, and yesterday, I had a client that tried to pull the "do you know who I am" trick when trying to buy a truck. He was being a massive donkey, so I called him on his nonsense. That's great the you own a construction company, but it won't make me slash the price on the one F450 Limited we have available. Then he says he's friends with the boss and that he'll just go see him. So I dialled the boss and invited him to come down. Boss had no idea who the guy was. Turns out they met at a golf tourney last summer. Anyway, I don't think he's buying this truck from me. lolz.
  11. I'll typically use several different blacks. Semi-gloss, flat/matte, gloss. Sometimes mix a touch of grey into the blacks for slightly different tones. It's all black, but you get some differentiation on the parts and see some detail.
  12. There's a local Chev truck group that has been banned from holding their meets for similar reasons. A few guys show up and think it's cool to do burnouts and roll coal in the parking lots of these businesses, and then when confronted by the organizers, get all defensive. I have a friend that attended "the final straw" event last summer. When the clowns were asked to behave, they started trying to pick fights, and accused the organizers of all kinds of things. Political affiliations, being in support of communism, sexual preferences, etc. And the cops were called, and the property owners banned the club, who had been using the lot on Friday nights for at least 2 years without incident. And of course, because word spreads in the business community, the club had real trouble finding a new meeting spot, as word got out.
  13. I would guess the body still had mold release agent or some other contaminant on it from the production process. But you said you washed it. Hmmm...odd.
  14. It's a not a real AAR, so no one get their panties twisted over tinted glass and modern wheels. Digging this one. Airbags, modern steel wheels, cool patina. Interior is a work in progress. Local municipality has upped their spec for enforcement vehicles. So much for the more basic SSV or police responder model.
  15. Daylight Savings Time. Yeah, I said it. Lost an hour of sleep on the weekend, but now it's light outside until 8pm. So when I take the dog for her evening walk, I can actually see the melting ice on the sidewalks. Much less chance of a wipe out.
  16. Currently 5 degrees. Yesterday was 7 degrees. Going to be above zero for a while, and all of the snow we got last week is melting at a rapid rate. It's almost time to bust out the shorts and flip flops.
  17. If I had the funds, Kindig is the shop I'd send my car to. Although, every time I see a new build on the show, I just know what's coming. Step 1: Roadster Shop chassis Step 2: LS4. Or a Hellcat/Demon engine. But the results are always amazing. One of his VW builds is somewhat local. I've seen it at shows, and the build quality is astounding.
  18. Clearing out a bunch of Mopar product that I'll never build. Pretty high detail kit. Body is pre-painted metal. Box open, 100% complete, 100% unstarted. Box open, 100% complete and unstarted. This one came in the set with the Ford L series race hauler. The truck has been built, this Dart is 100% complete and unstarted. I've thought about building this one many times, but just haven't. Yes, all the plastic glows orange in the dark! Kit is 100% complete and unstarted. Decals are all present and accounted for. Acquired this one too. It's box open, but complete. Acquired this one at some point. Mostly complete, but no engine. For the right trade, I would package this with a Monogram 1971 Hemi Cuda that is complete but has no body. It's 1/24, but the engine shouldn't be too oversized for this one. Alternately, I could instead include a 3D printed Hellcat engine/trans. Here's what I'm after. Tamiya Mercedes C-Class DTM - there are a few to choose from Tamiya Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI DTM - Bosch livery Revell VW Corrado - original issue or the new reissue Tamiya BMW - 6 series, 3 series, or the 850i Tamiya Volvo 850 - either of the BTCC kits or the green wagon Porsche kits - I'm partial to the Tamiya 996 kits, or the Fujimi 964 kits, but would look at anything. Land Rovers / Range Rovers of any kind - Revell, Fujimi, ESCI, whatever Volkswagen Rabbit/Golf/GTI or T3 bus/camper Italeri truck - any of them. Photo etch set for the Revell London Bus kit Eduard Spitfire - in 1/48 or 1/32 scale European cars/trucks in general - BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc. No Lambo or Ferrari though. I'm willing to get creative, would consider multiple kits for one of the above. Or if you had something else in mind, throw it at me. Worst I can say is no. I'm in Canada, so keep shipping in mind.
  19. It's been mailed for less than a month. There's a lot of people that haven't received it yet. Have a little patience.
  20. Weight is weight. Doesn't matter if it's an engine, a battery pack, or whatever. It's all a part of the car and makes it ridiculously heavy.
