  2. I'm looking for more podcasts to listen to while modeling . Preferably model car related but a good all around motorsports podcast would work too .
  3. I'm not sure how many were in this series but any of these . I like that it came with an obscure to me vehicle , a scooter and people and things those people would use for the activity . The first one I ever saw was on ebay last year but I missed it .
  4. I watched a documentary on that car which made me want to build that particular car but also reminded me how insane the countach was at that time .
  5. What Lamborghini countach kit is the best ? There are so many kits out there and some are obviously not well done . My only experience was with the Monogram kit , which I felt was an easy build and I felt good about the end result back in the 1990s .
  6. What a difference a decade makes . I'll have to review my list and photo what I actually have now vs then . Affordable 3d printers and several releases from the model companies most of my list is doable .
  7. I had a hard time using the kind you wear , this one has a dimmable light . MagniPros 3X Magnifying Glass... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FSR8HFT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
  8. I always wanted to be a GSL attendee . It was incredible , inspiring and I felt everything I thought I would . I knew I would be there when they announced this would be the last one , the weeks leading up the show made me uncertain I'd make it but at the very last possible minute things clicked into place . Walking into the contest hall Thursday morning I could feel the buzz , my eyes welling up with the realization I didn't miss it , I was there . Recognizing literally every name on every name tag from the magazines and forums would have been a bit too much for this introvert except the first person that I talked to while waiting in line to register was this really nice guy that I share a first name with , he'd been there before , he would nod and wave if he saw me when he was on The move and just sit down and chat when he had some down time . I was very happy when he won best of show . I also had a conversation with Jim Keeler who has four very large chickens and is going to be working on a very large model of the Titanic , yes both of those are related . Seeing Mark Gustavson in his world was exactly as expected and revealing simultaneously . I met many national luminaries , saw so many exquisite models , being in the same place really makes you feel what it's all about . This is by far my best modeling experience. Thanks to everyone that was a part of it !
  9. Thank you for asking . Not right now ,however , I just spent time at GSL so I'm pretty motivated and seeing that nordberg truck at the museum reminded me I didn't even realize it's been 2 years .
  10. I found the nordberg truck at the International model builders' museum
  11. until

    I'm looking forward to being there
  12. I don't remember when this kit was last available and I wonder if it'll come back anytime soon .
  13. Consider removing the dust cap as well then you could just replace the whole center , I'd imagine a plain old hole punch would be pretty close to the size you'd need which you could add the lugs to before gluing the center back in .
  14. For this conversion I simply made straight cuts of equal size and swapped the glove box for the dash panel this was not a think piece as the dash was pretty symmetrical .
  15. Jeff is good , he's not building much these days .
  16. Here's an excellent video that breaks it down
  17. I don't even know what to do with all of the trophys but they're fun to find . I can't remember which revell kit it was but there was one that had some very nice heather detail it was impressive for the time maybe the original attempt 1 kit or a Roth kit ...
  18. I just checked a couple of kits I thought came with a helmet or two and realized I don't remember or the newer releases I have on hand don't have them anymore . I think the AMT 1963 corvette has one . Finding those little extras in kits is one of the things I've always enjoyed I'd bet someone would just give you one if ya asked , but be specific the ones I have pictured look mostly the same but there's some subtle differences .
