  1. Looks promising. Anyone have any experience with them? Thanks
  2. Great build Michelle... really like it!
  3. Which Johan Cadillac kits included the wreath and crest hood ornament? Thanks!
  4. Finished up this Decko resin Cad finally. I'll start by saying it was a great build as the parts fit beautifully and the body required almost no prep other than the usual resin cleaning. I added a vinyl top and while I'm ok with the end result, I wouldn't do another top in this way. I used a rougher texture spray to start with and did alot of sanding to take it down to what I thought would be a decent look. But it's still too heavy and the seam strips are still too heavy as well. Otherwise, I used Scalefinishes 1969 Cadillac Palmetto Green and Tamiya's TS-7 Racing White for the interior and the top. Thanks for looking!
  5. So that's an E in the center! As usual, thanks Mark!
  6. Anyone? Thanks!
  7. Great job! What color? Topaz?
  8. A few of my many needs: 60 Edsel ... one single chrome taillight 63 Dodge Polara ... one single headlight 61 Corvette ... stock wheel covers (need to be 15-15.5 mm diameter) 65 Chrysler 300 ... stock front seats (I have the seat backs) 66 Plymouth Fury ... stock wheel covers I have AMT and Johan annual stuff for trade as well if that works. Thanks for looking
  9. Great tip! Have run into this same issue multiple times. Thanks!
  10. Great build!
  11. Great build! Always good to see something different.
  12. From what I've read somewhere MCW offered a resin front bumper for a 65 Olds F-85 (or Cutlass) at some point? Currently on their website they don't offer it. Anyone help me locate one? Thanks!
  13. The Fotki site has this one if it's the one you're looking for. AMT '55 Corvette album | DRASTIC PLASTICS MODEL CAR CLUB | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy.
  14. Great build and color! Congrats!
  15. Curbside is perfectly fine. I only do restorations of annuals so the engines are often already built and painted. I usually just leave them as is and install. The outside is what I see once finished and displayed. Not that I don't appreciate detailed engines when I see them here though ?
  16. Sounds like that would work nicely. Even the hearse or ambo rear bumper would work for that too maybe. I'll now keep my eyes open for either a Hasegawa Caddy or the real Johan. Take care Steve
  17. If I read your caliper correctly the Johan is wider. I measure my Johan to be 69mm between the tops of the two fins and 76mm overall width. Thanks for helping Steve ?
  18. I've been searching for a rear bumper for my Johan 66 Cadillac Coupe de Ville for quite some time, but I've been excluding the Hasegawa 66 thinking it wouldn't fit. Other than the dated plate on the Johan there doesn't appear to be too much different, but the size would be what I'm concerned about. Would anyone know if the Hasegawa would fit the Johan Caddy? Worst case I think I might be able to try removing the right rear taillight from the Hasegawa and fit it to the Johan which is missing the right rear but the remainder of the bumper is great. I would think the Johan hearse/ambulance taillight would work as well. I know the bumper itself is different but the taillight might work. Including a pic of my broken bumper. Thanks!
  19. Nicely done Chuck!
  20. Pretty much every day from maybe 930am til 430pm. Breaks for lunch and exercise walks. Great to be retired ?
  21. Nice job!
