  1. Great minds think alike. The Grand Prix is now painted red.
  2. Side trim is made from evergreen strip styrene. I can't remember the exact sizes. There was an inner and outer strip with space in between so I could paint the fine black line between the strips.
  3. I made them. I started with the wheels from the 10th Anniversary Trans Am kit.
  4. The hardest one for me to acquire so far has been the JoHan 1969 Rebel.
  5. Correct. I included a pic of the real one. I just copied it.
  6. In many respects I find the world more disappointing with each passing day. One of my futile interests is politics. I think I just found my problem!
  7. Actually, these responses have clarified things. Thank you. I would have bet a paycheck that at least one response would include "Just sayin'". I was not disappointed. Seriously, thanks all for clarifying this admittedly trivial matter.
  8. I know it's harmless, I'm just curious as to the purpose/meaning of adding "Just sayin...".
  9. They are indeed sold out. I believe the 1970 version is sold out as well, or close to it.
  10. Further progress on the trailer. Those blinds were a bear! The weathering is a bit washed out from the sun in the pictures. It's a actually a bit grimier in person.
  11. x2. My 1969 Coronet stripped very well, but became full of little cracks. Once it was rinsed and dried, I ran Tamiya Thin cement over the cracks. So far, so good.
  12. I've always used Photobucket (free). The only problem I've had is when they update from time to time and older browsers won't open it. It has never given me any trouble, I've never had anything lost, and it's always been available when I want to use it. I've used it for years. Since it has met my needs, I've never used any other service.
  13. i don't think you can have turn signals on the grille AND the bumper. I believe the grille turn signals are correct for an '84. The bumper turn signals need to go. One more thing, and I'm sure this has been mentioned before... What's up with that seam on the side of the bed? What's it supposed to represent? Still a good kit to see back on the shelves, I'll have to pick up a few.
  14. I saw that formula for Lt Topaz on a fan page. I'm curious to see how it looks when applied. Most of the Rockford models look too gold and too light. I understand that people have to model within their means, so that's not meant as an insult.
  15. What color are you using? I'm using a 1975 Pontiac color Copper Mist metallic. It looks gold in the light, but more copper in the shadows. I'm going to make his Firebird a 1975 model. Scale Productions makes a Rockford figure. The body is far too barrel chested, but you can use the head, it's pretty good. With the supporting cast you're kind of on your own...
  16. I made them. I have a large box of figures I've collected over the years, and I mix, match, or sculpt what I need. Angel has also been added to the lineup.
  17. I'm waiting for the paint to cure on my trailer, as I had to repair damage I caused. While waiting, I did a few figures...
  18. .040 Styrene with a .125 Spaced V-Groove Design from Evergreen Scale Models. Manufacturers' number 4125. I was going to scribe them, but the grooves on this styrene sheet were almost a perfect match, so I used them. I don't get that lucky with models very often.
  19. I've already done the lawn furniture frames in brass, just need to add the webbing.
