Model car podcast recommendations
randx0 posted a topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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 . -
Looks like it's on its way !

Best lamborghini countach kit
randx0 replied to randx0's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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 . -
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 .

what off road vehicles would you like to build?
randx0 replied to randx0's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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 . -
Magnifying Lenses for Myopic Folks
randx0 replied to 1972coronet's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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 -
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 !

'60 chevy COE

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 . -

How to remove lug nuts from deep offset wheels
randx0 replied to Fat Brian's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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 . -
That dash looks much harder but doable .
-
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 .
-
Do you have a pic of the dash ?

Jeff is good , he's not building much these days .

Here's an excellent video that breaks it down

How many helmets have you acquired
randx0 replied to randx0's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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 ... -
How many helmets have you acquired
randx0 replied to randx0's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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 .
