  1. Not 100% correct......but about as much work I want to put into it. 99.9% will not notice the errors!!
  2. That may have trapped some things weeks ago (before Christmas) but since then shisp have been re-routed to the MANY open ports. I had a master case of Hudson kits labeled 'Portland' IIRC.......
  3. WOW!! I like Bee Gee, Betty and movie models. And though different than the Bee Gee in the film Rocketeer.....a very cool build.
  4. I was able to friction fit the entire front suspension together and do mock ups......and this was without any instructions!!! Well engineered kit.
  5. I built some early test shots......the build of the chassis and engine drive train is the new state of the art. IMHO only....
  6. Very nice work......I like the 'work truck' over a dressed up show truck we see so often.
  7. I'm sure the 'Design Engineer' will require you to be on the expert level of 3-D CAD system of some type. That's why they are having to advertise the position. And....yes...there are folks here that are on that level....but but they are not in Chicago or have very good paying jobs doing that already.....it's a somewhat hot position today. Hope they get someone good.
  8. WELL worth the wait.......I saw it at Toledo show....
  9. Spotted this last April at the Charlotte 50th show........
  10. That's what we in WV call Tuesday!!!! I grew up in So Cal....so I'm aloud to laugh at how the So Cal folks act during 'cold' weather!!!! I watch KTLA on DISH and love how the news covers the 'cold'. At the first of the week it was 38 degrees and people were wearing coats and hats heavier than I own!!! It's all a POV.....and I'll be in So Cal next week.....so I'll see if it's REALLY cold!!!!
  11. Pulled the DVD out and watched it last night rather than the Eve junk. Still a GREAT film......old school Hollywood with lots of action....cool cars!
  12. I have a mid 70's Monogram 34....I do like.....still had the Greyhound radiator cap at that time!!! Love to see it restored to the original 6 in 1 kit!!
  13. My 34 Ford simple project........ Changed the wheels and tires....made the decals including the rivet and panel lines. A fun 2 day project....... I'll keep my 'ignorance is bliss!!!
  14. TWO scale inches??? I just set my digital calipers to 2 scale inches.....no wonder it looks fine to me!!!! I am no 33-34 Ford expert.....so it was never an issue with me. Be nice if it was 100% correct.....just see why it has never come up with anyone I know that has built it or used the body elsewhere. I've designed kits for myself and others.....but this one never crossed my mind!
  15. They did remake it.....kinda.....Rat Race.......same concept....but different enough thank goodness.
  16. That Revell 34 Ford above is the old kit based off the Revell 26 Ford kit.....and thus really bad body...... I find the snapper kit, 100% different than the above 34, pretty good kit really. Never took out my calipers to check....but to my eye it is good.
  17. I think the gas station scene is an all time classic!!!! Read up on the making of the film if you have not....... I think Winters was FANTASTIC.......
  18. YES!!! Talk about a 'movie car' movie!!!! Some would be easy...other TOUGH.....but I'd like to build a few of them. One of the last 'old Hollywood' films.
