Quick GMC

I don't see anyone here bragging about being a pro and how awesome they are with all their experience. I've never put down anyone's builds, but when you start promoting how awesome you are, it'd better be decent. If it didn't have all that ridiculous self promotion, i never would have looked twice. But you're right. The guy's not here to defend himself. Now I almost feel bad.

No, they are poor attempts. You can clearly tell he sanded the seams on the hood scoop, however he must have been blindfolded when doing it. Everything is half-assed. A member on here learning to better themselves would not leave blue plastic exposed after scraping away chrome. The guy claiming his experience and pro built and all that stuff makes it open season.

This guy's 45 years of experience gaurantees your satisfaction. Just at a glance: •The bumpers don't fit well •you can see the blue plastic on the chrome parts where it was poorly prepped and not touched up • The seams are horribly visible on the hood scoop •No foil •sloppy prep and paint on the trim •the wipers aren't foiled or painted •pieces of sprue still attached to the valve covers •the rear glass is crooked •the emblems aren't painted. I'm not a great model builder and I don't normally pick apart people's work, but when you're presenting something as professionaly built, it shouldn't be a giant pile of BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BILL-GRUMPY-JENKINS-1966-NOVA-SUPER-STOCK-GRUMPYS-TOY-1-24-PRO-BUILT-MODEL-/201020205158?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item2ecdbce866

Hobby design makes some nice looking turbos too. I haven't bought any, but you can see the impeller and everything in the pictures. They look like 2 piece. what else does Shucky make? is there a catalog or webstore?

I think Harry clarified why this wouldn't happen yesterday.

A friend of mine ordered a model after seeing my hobby room. He abandoned it about half way through due to a lack of patience. I can see him picking it up later in life, he's only 25 right now. His brother was just released from jail and he is building a 1/12 Testarossa I gave him. I hope he enjoys it. i don't know anyone around here that builds. Even the guys at the hobby shop don't know anyone. They stock a reasonable amount of models, but most on consignment, which isn't a good sign.

How about one conglomerate category for "racing"? Anything purpose built for racing. To keep it easy for the mods. How about one conglomerate category for "racing"? Anything purpose built for racing. To keep it easy for the mods.

I am not as familiar with the aftermarket dealing with American drag cars as I am European race cars. I know about Detail Master, Model Car Garage and Pro Tech, but I am not familiar with all the parts and terminology. I am going to start building the Tony Foti Camaro and want to do it as detailed as possible. I'm looking for photo etch pieces for the engine, brakes, suspension parts, etc. I already have Dzus fasteners and a seat harness.

Thanks guys

I have never had more modeling time than the last month when we had the baby. I thought I was done for a while, but it's the opposite. Feed him, burp him, change him and put him down in his little rocking bed thing next to the bench. I can't paint when he's in there, but I have been sanding and fitting like a madman. I usually get about two hours at a time. My wife stays home, so i releive her and she can sleep. Sleeping baby, sleeping wife, nobody to tell me what to do. It will change though, when he gets more aware, teething etc. But they sleep for longer periods. So far it's worked out alright.

Thats what I needed, thank you.

I did a search and couldn't find anything. I am wanting to buy detail and plumbing wire in rolls if possible. Buying the small packages is adding up and I was wondering if anyone knew what sizes are used. The local stores around here don't have anything that small.

I'll post pics later, but I got a very nice package from Singapore today. Tamiya 993 GT2 PE/resin set Tamiya Ferrari 312 T4 turned metal funnels Tamiya Nissan R390 GT1 PE set MY Favorite, Hobby Design PE set for the Fujimi 427 Shelby Cobra 4 sets of Eduards harnesses Generic PE brake set Resin Brembo calipers

I have the HRM resin engine/suspension kit. It looks great, but I'll be cutting off the Weber stacks and using the turned stacks from RB Motion. The parts are crisp, though

you don't seem to be a very intelligent person

What?

Don't take this away from me!

I just had a boy 3 weeks ago. Super exciting. Hope everyone stays healthy.

I agree. Some Vettes and Vipers walk the line, bu don't quite fall into the category, IMHO.

It's 48 here, I think I might die. I have a standing job offer, a really good one, in Winnipeg. I was born and raised and still live in Southern California. It's double what I make now, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

The article indicates that this was not parked and forgotten, bu meticulously cared for in it's original condition. The article also indicates that the car was put in a barn for photos, and not actually found in a barn. I was going to disagree with Daddyfink about this until I actually read the article. In this case, "Barn Find" was used for sensationalism only, it seems.

It looks good, but it seems like those kit tires don't fit the wheel wells properly, they look a little small. some larger tires and a little lowering and it would look killer.

Just received items from Sam I Am. Quick shipping and exactly what he said.

Thanks, yours came promptly as well. perfect deal.

I got it within a few minutes. I'm at work and luckily had some time .There are ways to just search for things and narrow it down. I have never heard of the manufacturer or seen the car before. Other ones are much harder though when there are less unique features search for.
