'70 JoHan Olds Tornado front bumper needed
Modelbuilder Mark replied to Modelbuilder Mark's topic in Wanted!

Thanks Alan, The rims are resin from either VSG Resins, or Iceman Collections as I have bought from very few others over time. I apologize that I do not recall the exact source as I usually put things in my parts/wheels bins without the labels. I did just check both sites, and while Iceman does have a version of artillery wheels currently, they are not the same and they do have center caps, where I had to pull these from the parts bin. I think Iceman's current version is great, and very reasonably priced.

Trying to locate a '70 JoHan Olds Tornado front bumper. I bought a kit off Ebay and found that the front bumper was short shot.

Box Stock Contest Rules
Modelbuilder Mark replied to hemilover's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Some contests explicitly exclude items such as stretching sprue for antennas and other such similar actions. Here is a link the the riles from the final GSL, https://www.gslchampionship.org/competition-principles/ that is VERY specific. Some contests, like Desert Scale Classic actually have a second box stock catagory where KIT parts are allowed to be used from another kit as long as they are identified and unmodified. -

Box Stock Contest Rules
Modelbuilder Mark replied to hemilover's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Each contest I have ever entered seems to have it's own intricacies, but each should specifically outline what they allow. Most I have entered allow things like cutting open the exhaust tips etc, some allow different decals and considered them a "finish" much the same as foil. Some of the old custom kits also call out things in the instructions, such as parts swaps from other kits, and some contests even allow that. Ultimately, read the rules for the given contest you are interested in. -
Glad to hear it. With PSA being easy tp pick up in blood work, and other markers for that matter, no reason not to have blood work done regularly. Prostrate cancer when detected is also highly treatable. Glad it worked well for you.

Do not see these built up really. I have one in the stash, so it is nice to see yours. It even looks fiddly.
