  1. The kit came with instructions on how to make the rocket launch tubes out of aluminum tubing, so I made them:
  2. Decided to finish this over the weekend. There a couple small details to do, but it's done. I need to paint the license mount and add the Batmobile license plate to the back, and paint Batman and Robin, then add them to the interior. The car has the photo-etched set added to it, and I used the engine from Round2' Ford Starliner kit, and detailed with fuel lines, sparkplug wires, aluminum distributor, etc., Here's the pics:
  3. Nope... Sorry, no wrecker. If there is a part or two you ever need, just ask! Thanks again!!!
  4. I will definitely look him up! It won't seem finished until I add the decals! Thanks Keone, You've been a great source of help to me!!!
  5. YES!!! PLEASE!!!! is there anything you need that I can trade you for it?
  6. This is good to know...
  7. Thanks Matt! I couldnt remember if the Werner mudflaps were black or white. I've contacted Modeltrucking .com to see if they were going to make Werner decals, but they never contacted me back, and I have no clue as to how to make decals... If you know of anyone tell them to contact me! I've still got a lot of little things to make for the truck, but it's coming along. Thanks for the compliment, and if you see something that doesn't look quite right, let me know. Anyway... I'm going back to the old electronic brain (if you grew up watching Bugs Bunny, you'll get that joke).
  8. I thought about a Dremel with a round grinder. I noticed that the frame on yours is shaped differently. Anyway, I've been detailing the interior with some photo-etched pices that I bought years ago. The tree has CD's, coat hangers, sunglasses, tools, and a whole bunch of other odds and ends. Do you know if anyone makes a 1/24-25th scale baseball cap? Thanks for the advice J.T.
  9. I'd put the chrome trim on. This is really looking fantastic Brizio. I applaud your work!
  10. The slot is closed up and is too small for the pins to fit it...
  11. I've got a problem that I don't know what to do to fix it. I can't seem to get the hood to mount to the frame. There is a slot on the instructions that shows where to mount the hinges, but there is no slot on mine. the slot is not open, so the hinges don't have anywhere to mount. Anyone else having this problem?
  12. He deleted the photos yesterday. He was reported to Facebook, Stolen Honor, and several other websites.
  13. I can tell the bunk on mine is too large by comparing it to the rest of the interior. It should be narrower and shorter. On the ProStar I drove, there was an open space at the end of the bunk on the passenger side of the sleeper(I used to set my TV and the DVD player down in it when I was driving). I also noticed that the upper cubby holes are missing above the sleeper windows are missing, but I'm not gonna add them.
  14. A guy by the name of Dick Wedel irked me today. A self proclaimed proffesional storm chaser, but 99% of his storm photo's on Facebook were stolen from other chasers. But that's not his biggest offense. On this memorial day he posted pictures of himself. The pictures were actually of Staff Sgt. Robert J. Miller, a war hero who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery in Afghaistan. I can think of nothing lower than a person who would impersonate a fallen soldier.
  15. That is definitely cool Keone! I need to add a smaller bed to this for sure, yours looks just right! Thanks for the photos, they will be a big help!!!
  16. Thanks for the warning J.T.!!! The interior isn't glued in yet, it's just sitting there. The "bed" is an experiment. I trying to see if it looks right. I will add a bed though. I didn't have a couch in the ProStar I drove. I saw 2 things in the instructions for the interior that made me wonder... One was the seat bases needs to be switched. They have the seat belt connectors next to the doors, they should be facing the other seat. And the shifter knob is backwards. The overhang on the knog should be facing the dashboard... Thanks for the compliment, and the advice J.T.! I really appreciate your input!
  17. Saw the Pete pics you posted, those are nice! I've gotta finish my stretched AMT Turnpiker. I lost my interest in it when I tried to use Round2s decals and they fell apart. I tried using the decals for the Daisy Duke '74 Road Runner, and they fell apart as well. The only decals that I've used from Round2 that didn't fall apart was the Batmobile decals... oh well. Anywho, I've been happy with this kit!
  18. Got the exhaust stacks mounted to the truck today. Couldn't figure out how I was gonna do it until I got an idea. I put the plastic kit stacks together, then cut off about a 1/4 of an inch at the bottom. I sanded the edges a bit, the snugged the plastic pieces into the end of the aluminum tubing. I then added glue to the plastic pieces and pushed the tubing onto the pieces. I was able to glue the aluminum stacks onto the truck with no problems.
  19. Well... My mother never said I was the brightest crayon in the box!!!
