  1. Looks really good,nice restoration.
  2. The subjects are night and day,wich is really cool. Super nice build`s Bill
  3. Looks pretty flawless to me,awsome pictures too,great build.
  4. Great builds,love the classic muscle/pony cars. That 70 Javelin
  5. They are all excellent Tony.
  6. They look awsome Steven. Hard to pick a favorite,but i`d like to say the 66 Chrysler because of the stunning interior.
  7. Hi folks. Did not get to build as many as i wanted in 2016. Main problem is paint logistics and broken promises,not going into that subject. I`d like to wish everyone a New Year. Already exctited to watch what you guys crank up on the under glass and workbench for 2017. Here are the ones i got done.
  8. MPC 73 Duster engine options Found here
  9. Reading these 3D threads and watching online everything that average joes can acomplish,stuff i assumed companies with unlimited funds could do. These tiny figurines with amazing detail got me thinking if there was possibillities to 3D print model car scripts & lettering? Sure there are photo-etch set`s avaliable,but very limited offerings if you step a little bit outside of building the kit`s companies offer. I asked prices for custom photo-etch sets and i got mixed answers what the cost would be. Ok,so my question is,what would the cost be to get 3D printed scripts and/or lettering in 1:24/1:25 scale? There can be had custom made decals,but as for my part it really dont cut it when it comes to scripts.
  10. I got one of these as a junkyard,was after the fleetside box,grill and chassis-plate. Also got a very cheap Hasegawa Honda Civic SIR 1,6 vtec to use with ZoomOn trans-kit. Other small stuff as styrene sheets,and heard a lot of good about the Tamiya liquid cement,so got one of those. Oh,and a 63 Bonneville rear grill insert.
  11. The Honda B and K and F series are great engines,the ultimate 4 banger in stock form would be the S2000 engine. Toyota makes some great N/A four bangers,example the 4AGE 20valve. The BMW S13 and the Mercedes 2,3 16v (European version) & 2,5 16v are also great fun to drive. I`m partly biased owning the 2,5 16v myself. It range from 204hp (194 kat) to 380-400 in race trim. Offenhauser is great engine,also really good looking. Ford BDA the same,and lot`s of racing pedigree.
  12. Long before internet times. Sure would love to get a hold on some examples of the 58 Oldsmobile.
  13. The 65 Cadillac i think is the rarest i finished so far.
  14. I bought a mint in scruffy box 68 a year or two back,also have two rebuilders of the one on pictured at the top. Would love to have the 67,would look good next to the 67 Toronado. What about a Hurst Cadillac? Anyone know the story behind it?
  15. I indeed would. Would even make deposit,it`s risky business with this since so many want this or that but back off when avaliable. I wonder if the MPC Dukes of Hazzard police car could be good as a donor for chassis since it`s also a C-body.
  16. Great haul of big beautiful Buick`s. The one with the box must been on Ebay for over a month now,glad to see it in good hands. Jealous of that 65
  17. Ron Do you have any of those under glass on this forum? I would love to see them,you always have these cool subjects and great builds. I seen that black 69 SS on Pinterest,should figured who built it,looks awsome.
  18. Great news Robert. Is the Polara going to be 4door only or have you thought about 2door hardtop as well?
  19. I dont know,there was no description,but if i where to guess,maby R&R? Just glad i dont have to look for a 62 full size anymore,the kit`s are quite rare,and when they come up the bidding go way beyond my pockets.
  20. Thick glass and bumpers molded on threes where it shows where you cut them off after they are mounted.
  21. 1962 Oldsmobile Starfire. I was about to log out the other night when this just got listed and i jumped on it.
  22. The only kit`s i seen that goes above $25 are some Galaxie kit`s,as an example the new Bronco is $16 or $18,this is on Ebay where i do most buying. I could see foreign cars cost more,Japanese brands,but if you go to a Japanese online store,the US cars cost over $40. I dont buy new kit`s,mostly old junk and parts,enjoy the fix,and now and then some resins. For me the price isn`t that much of a deal because i rarely buy. I could get 5 junkers one month,and zero the next.
