  1. Thank you sir, It will definitely $#!^ and get. G
  2. The build is seriously looking good. I'm glad to see this again. Terry, Using oils for a wash. https://www.agapemodels.com/2009/04/03/modeling-techniques-a-simple-oil-wash-for-panel-lines/ Enamel tutorial G
  3. After twelve years and 152,000+ miles, I finally said goodbye to my beloved Lincoln Town Car. Quite sad really, the Town Car and my beloved beagle "Shorty" were the two remaining items from my last life in St Louis. Shorty passed 4/20/17 and today I traded the Lincoln. I will say that big azzed boat was the best car I ever owned. Not only that but the current MrsG and I were married in the car at The Little White Wedding Chapel in '09. In my opinion Ford really screwed the pooch when it discontinued the Panther platform and built the new Continental on the MKZ. In what some would consider a radical change, I purchased a new Nissan Altima 3.5SL. She's a lil' red rocket ship and after 8 hours of ownership, I can say I'm becoming quite fond of her. I'll post photos tomorrow.
  4. The cops need these to even begin to catch the current crop of young sheiks and princes in their own supercars. G
  5. So, where do I begin? I bought the kit and the Arctic Blue/German Silver paint specifically for this one. Everything else is painted with colors from my stash of spray cans and bottles. The light bar is a modified piece I've had lying around for a long time. The radio, siren box, shotgun rack, microphone and push bumpers are scratchbuilt from bits and pieces lying around. The spotlights are resin that I cast myself long ago. The antennae and various cords, are scraps of wire. Decals were from Danno. I call it a "labor of love", something I have wanted to build for quite some time. Simply looking at it three years later still gives me great satisfaction. Please enlighten me how I can possibly tabulate the cost of this one model car. G
  6. Fascinating. As prices of hardware get lower and lower, I see a great After Market potential in software. I really think that we will be able to buy the printers and the material needed to print, then purchase files to print specific's as needed. It is no different than what we do now. We obtain the tools, paint and glue and have them ready for the next kit purchase. In a few years we will have the PC, the printer and the material waiting for the next file to come out that we can print. Make no mistake, this is aftermarket I refer to. I really do not think the injection molded kit will be supplemented any time soon. G
  7. That's on the St Louis riverfront. I'd recognize those cobblestones anywhere. Not to mention the Gateway Arch in the background. G
  8. This guy passed over the rainbow bridge back in April. 4/20 to be exact, a fitting date for this mellow fellow. G
  9. Interesting. I don't think I ever knew anything about that movie at all. G
  10. Well, the white one is from the movie "Nothing But Trouble" , the identity of the Charger escapes me as of now. G
  11. Look up. Beginning six posts ago we discussed this . G
  12. I'm thinking use the windows as a template for the panel, remove the pillar, cement the panel in and smooth the edges. What say you Eshaver ? G
  13. Pretty much just the barrel and the mantlet around the base of the barrel. Shorter thicker tube with a fake bore evacuator and muzzle brake. Larger "collar" around the base of the barrel. Here's the M 48 gun tank. G
  14. Dark yellow, red brown and some shade of green. Nothing specific required (as stated) as weathering will change the colors. The King Tigers in the Ardennes did not have zim. They were mostly brand new, having been saved for the winter offensive. That's always an option. Tamiya's own zimmerit is fairly easy to work with. I used it on a mid production Tiger I. G
  15. Two tone paint and a light bar make all the difference. I put a light bar on this and the issue seemed to go away. You can see how "off" it is in this pic.. G
  16. I've been looking for the W11 wheels for years now. G
  17. We awoke to a darker and less magical world this morning. A piece of our sunshine went away. All of us were touched in some way by Harry. We are all better for having known him. Fair winds and following seas shipmate, until we meet again. G
