Iconic cars not kitted
ChrisBcritter replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
There are a lot of iconic Australian cars that have never been kitted, even though there is a large hot rod/collector community. Are there enough modelers down under to make a local company successful with kits of, for example, the FX Holden or the GT Falcon, or the many many utes that have been produced? -

"One thing people never ought to be when they're buyin' used cars, and that's in a hurry!" Hint: Starred an Abe Lincoln and a guy who worked for Ronald Reagan, and Tab Hunter's old boyfriend.

Do I hear $99? Do I hear $89?... $79? ...$69 (That's not funny, sir!)? OK, $59? Say, is this an audience or an oil painting? $49?... SOLD!

Stop, Snake - we'll all be yawning! At least the Plan 9 from Outer Space saucer has some of the funniest box art since the Used Cars promo kit. Oh, and I added to my tags:

At first it sounded like Godzilla with a head cold, but but it got much better by the end. -
Neat trick on the scripts - is that a combination of Hubley Ford Country Sedan and Jo-Han deVille?

Reissues of the same kit

Vacuum cleaners used to have spray attachments that (IIRC) were plugged into the exhaust tube; I once saw it referred to as a bug spray attachment. -
AMT 1/25 Model T Tires

The ones on the left were also used in the stock '29 A roadster kit, and also for the wheel on the rear bumper-mounted test device in the '65 Grand Prix. -
Car Model History in My Hands!
ChrisBcritter replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Richard, have you seen this? It looks awfully familiar like from the early magazines. Maybe a clone by another builder? https://www.ebay.com/itm/BUILT-VINTAGE-DOMINATOR-1940-FORD-WILD-CUSTOM/401756076250?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D79056721d777456a93ac6d08efb19c29%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D7%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D283461303378%26itm%3D401756076250&_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042 Good luck, -Chris (tried to PM but the box is full?) -

I never knew these existed!
ChrisBcritter replied to Joe Handley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Wow! Talk about overdosing on cute! The first one looks like it has an early Rambler roof grafted on; not sure about the second one (scratchbuilt?). -
My method to making a mud effect
ChrisBcritter replied to Hotrod 97's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Great info, guys! Dunk an old toothbrush in the stuff and flick the bristles, maybe, or use an old spray bottle that you were going to toss out? -
Not your typical barn find

Man, that sucks big time - plus now you need a new TV. Looks like with a lot of very careful drilling and pinning the broken areas, and some equally careful touchups and fresh BMF to cover the joints on the pillars, it would be savable. Don't give up! We're pulling for you.

Happy Ford/Chevy Day!
ChrisBcritter replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I don't, but if you asked me on February 31st, that's what my Buick has... -
Thanks for the "mini-review", Bill - the last couple days I've been looking at a Vics '58 Pontiac wagon and wondering about the quality.
