Hobby lobby has a couple of ‘sets’ of brushes in the model isle, along with all the paint and supplies. I bought one of each, cheap, but have a nice selection of tips, been working well for me for a few years now.

I see a lot of planes/ships and Star Wars kits at the HL I go to, so maybe those kits will fill the voids?

Haha, one of the few kits I do not possess....

Haha, don’t worry, I have one of those too, so it shouldn’t be too much longer for that to be reissued

you guys should be thanking me everyday you see these reissues. since I got back into building, I have been buying oop kits, and sure enough, within two years they have all been slated for reissue, you're welcome

Hit hobby lobby yesterday,

To wrap the pull rope around, notch holds the end of the rope

Why they didn’t do a 2 door version of the charger is beyond me, the latest body style of that would be killer with 2 less doors....

And all this time, I thought Joe Dirt had a Dodge.....

.........mad genius comes to mind for some reason, lol..............., looking good man!

Way back in the day I played Need For Speed Porches Unleashed, had a force feedback wheel/pedals, played that a ton! Game was a lot of fun, and you could buy cars and upgrade them as you won ‘money’ from the races. It also had a factory driver section that was very tough to advance thru.

Congratulations! That’s a great looking car. Only downside I see, is the model budget is going to go towards speeding tickets?

I find the best prices are at swap meets/ shows. most of the latest round 2 kits I've bought have been from meets, $39 retail kits for $18 at the swap meet/show. so, if the revell prices get jacked up on the retail side, hit the shows for bargains.

I’m thinking it’s going to be a narrow market as time goes on, kits are getting pretty expensive for the casual model builder, and all us ‘old guys’ seem to have large stashes of kits. I’m sure the art of building will survive for a couple of decades to come, but new builders, and new products may not flourish like they used to.

So, where are the pictures of the model? ....amazing build....

Another beauty! You’ve hit another home run with this one!

So, what have we found out? Did the sky fall today or what? ?

I’m not a nascar fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I gotta tell ya, I think I’d watch if it were like the ‘old days’, slap a factory rwd V8 powered car I can buy at the dealer on the track , and have at it ( obviously with the proper safety equipment installed on said race car) . You know, the kinda stuff that you can identify even if it has no badges on it, not a bunch of cookie cutter cars with the same roofline etc to make it a level field.....

Haha, try wheeling around a crew cab truck with an 8 foot bed, it’s just slightly shorter than a full sized school bus........

I’ll be driving this to work today, I’ve had several of my ‘dream cars’ over the years, but so far, this one has been the most fun ?

Great looking pair, I too like the red/white one?

Yup, it is, stay tuned for second color.....

First color is on

They were only 20% off, with tax, it came to $40 even for the both of them. They are totally cool though?

Great looking build, bought one yesterday, I think I’ll be stuffing a big block in it though, kit engine just looks so out of place.
