  1. If I have to pick. I pick D. But, none of the three really do much for me. Scott
  2. Nice model, and nice story. Scott
  3. Wow! Thanks again Tim. I've said this before. Your reviews are always the best. Scott
  4. The truck your showing is from the generation after the models Moebius is bring out. Scott
  5. Oh come on. I am the center of the Universe. Everything revolves around my belly button. When are you guys going to learn that? Scott
  6. Pants have been invented? Wow! Good news! Maybe I'll get arrested for indecent exposer less often now. Good old Abe. I knew he could do it. Scott
  7. Like others have said. Cool! Scott
  8. Man, I'm irritated going into the "news and reviews" threads a reading nothing but how people can not wait for this or that kit to come out. This is particularly true with future Moebius kits. I go into those threads to learn about the kits themselves. Are they any good? What do they look like? What comes with the kit? Are there problems to watch out for? If it's an older kit, what has been changed since previous releases of that kit? And if somebody knows a release date for sure. I could care less if one is waiting for the kit to come soon. For the most part, we all are. And telling us about how your waiting for a kit doesn't make it get there any faster. When you got news, or a review, then go ahead and write about the kit. You can even write things about the kit that I may disagree with. But, in the mean time, I could care less that your sitting on pins and needles waiting for the kit. So am I. That's why I'm going to the "news and reviews" to read about the kit. The other thing, is people writing their posts in script here. I've brought this one up before. Read the posts written in script is tough on an iPad or other tablet. It might be fine on a regular computer screen. But, it just doesn't work on a smaller screen. Now true, this is my problem for using my iPad for this. But, I like to read what everybody has to say. And I'm sorry to say, but I'm not going to sit in front of my old computer, when I can sit in a comfortable chair with my iPad, in my living room and do the same thing. I have no problem reading post that are printed. Quit with the script please. Let me read what you have to say. (Unless your just going to tell me how anxious for a kit to show up, with nothing else to say.) Scott
  9. Very cool! Nice to see the kit. Can't wait to see and hear more. Like others, I too plan on buying one. Scott
  10. Wow! Another thread where I get suckered into hoping for news or a review, and all I get is guys posting how they can't wait for this or that. We all are waiting for these kits. But, I am also waiting for some substantial information in these kits. It is called the "news and reviews" threads after all. Come on guys. Write something, when there is something to write about. Scott
  11. The Foose car I'd like to see done as a kit is not an option in this. And that is his P32. Scott
  12. I don't remember MPC ever offering a '66 Mustang? Nor a '67 or '68. Did they? Scott
  13. Awe..... I thought maybe somebody had a review or some news finally on the kit. Instead I'm suckered into reading more stuff that has little to nothing about the kit. We all want the kit guys. Be patient. Scott
  14. Back from the days when one had a good reason to buy an Oldsmobile. It's still heart breaking to think that Oldmobile is gone. I want my father's Oldsmobile. He had a '51 88 and a '55 Super 88. Then in 1980, my mother bought a brand new Delta 88 with the rarely seen Holiday trim package. My mother liked cars with bucket seats. All 3 were very good cars. Between the '55 and the '80 Olds, my folks switched to driving Mercurys. Another dead brand Scott
  15. I bought one of these early on, in the very early 70's. With that style of box art. And I never got a record with mine. Scott
  16. Saw a Potvin on a old hot rod last summer for the first time. One of the things the owner pointed was the lack of noise compared to belt driven superchargers. Fired the car up. And it was a lot quieter. Nice for use on the street, other than you need to find someplace away from the engine for your radiator. His radiator was mounted in the back of his rod. Just a T shell in front of the supercharger. I though it was pretty cool. Scott
  17. You know, for an old GM fan, I love the Ford GTs. New and old. Naturally I'd love to see a Corvette win at overall LeMans someday. At the same time I know it will not happen. The GTs may not be as practical as my beloved Corvette, but they are very cool looking. And at least have won LeMans. I love the new GT, and can't wait for somebody to bring a kit of it to the market. Scott
  18. What's the point of this thread? I'm not understand what this is all about. Scott
  19. So far I'm still a little confused on this. What does this all mean? Right now? Through Ford, can I order a 2016 Ford GT model I can hold in my hand? Until I can see an actual model in the 3-D flesh, I'm having a hard time understanding what all of fuse is all about. I'm 57 years old, and I'll be honest about this. I'm not understanding it. I can get traditional styrene kits rights now that I can build and hold in my hands quite easily. And I don't need a special, and assume expensive printer, to do it. Can I now get these models from Ford? And at price? Scale? And level of detail? Scott
  20. I've always like the '57 Ford much better than the '57 Chev. Even though I'm mainly a General Motors guy. The '57 Chevy is okay, especially the Nomad. But, the '57 Ford looked stunning in just about every model and body style. It even out sold the Chevrolet in 1957. I can understand why. Scott
  21. Another very cool subject. Never had one of these reconds. And I have not thought about them in years. Cool to finally find out what was on one of them. Somewhere on the web, someone has post a recording of what came on the record that came with AMT's Lief Erikson spaceship model back in the day. that record came mainly with bad futuristic "space" music. This one is much better. Yet, I do like both. Very fun. Scott
  22. The original Futura did look better before Barris got his hands on it. I still love the '66 Barris Batmobile. But, I love the Futura even more. Scott
  23. Cool! I want one. Scott
  24. Yea, I meant TS-51. I'm getting a little confused on what the color of the Gerney/Grant GT-40 Mk II #2 was as raced at Sebring on March 26, 1966. Their car looked like a very dark blue to me. Revell claims in their story about the car at the begining of the instruction sheet, that car was painted Guardsman Blue. Maybe it was not Guardsman Blue like Revell claims, and something else? Tamiya's TS-51, Racing Blue looks close to me. As far as the Gulf cars, I got the impression from one source that any light blue and basic orange will work. I question this. It would be very easy to go with Tamiya TS-23, Light Blue in a that case. That does look kind of close. Now, I wonder about Tamiya's basic acrylic orange paint? Scott
  25. Tamiya's TS-52, racing blue looks correct for Guardsman Blue to me. What do others think. Scott
