wow, you guys are scoring some nice kits! Sean, if you want to part with one of those 'bill signs' kits, feel free to pm me here is my latest buy, I hope the revell kit builds up better/easier than the AMT version........time will tell I guess.......

the flocking I used is from 'The Model Car Garage'. I like the 3M as it's a one shot deal, I didn't have to re-do the flock application, and in person, it has a nice look to it, not too thick, or see thru.

so, after trying several different methods of applying flocking, my laziness got the best of me, and I tried some 3M 77 trim adhesive [i had a can laying around after trying tin foil on a rig trailer side], I found it to work rather nice. I masked off what I didn't want 'carpeted', sprayed the 3M, then coated it with flock. it only took one application, versus the method of using 'wet' paint, or using a clear acrylic put on with a brush, which seemed to take multiple applications to get the look/coverage. this may be old news, but I thought I would share my experience.

this got lost in the change over, but here is the prestige kit with the pete, Camaro and firebird,

I have only built the prostar so far, [have a lonestar in the hoard], but it was a joy to build. only touchy parts are the 'hood hinge groove' and the hood hinges themselves. great kit, I even bought a second one for the hoard. with 53' trailer

I do the same, just on a smaller scale.....so far....haha....

I was 'angry' that I bought it after listening to it

I am a big fan, I will also admit they have a few clunker songs, but 99% of the library is terrific. they seem to have an album for every mood [for me anyway]. you can also hear lot of different types of music in their 'catalog', rock, blues, country, etc., lot of good stuff to be heard, don't let the songs played to death on the radio sour you, lot of good tunes that don't make the air waves [or very often anyway]. having said that, keep your ears and mind open, I listen to everything from Tony Bennett[sp?] to Metallica [who made an album so bad I won't mention the name that can't be mentioned, lol], lot of good tunes out there if ya take a minute to listen

yes, I should have said 'free for us users', as I am quite sure it costs a bundle to 'run the joint'

Dan, thanks. I thought it was a pretty decent kit. I too have another one, built one as a kid in white, so thinking the second one will replicate the one I did as a kid.

looks terrific, the two tone really pops.

keep it going, the whole project is looking great so far!

ok, just reposting 'lost' stuff. upside is, it will look like I am making progress at break neck speed got a few interiors flocked [still need detailed, just put the parts in for the general feel]

i'm gonna say thank you as well, without this place I would be lost, and have 'found' local people that are on here that I would have otherwise not met in person. to the folks that seem to have issue with this free service, it is FREE after all, and if the whole thing went away, I don't think anyone would owe us an explanation. again, thanks for doing what you guys do.

Joe, it's testors 'panther pink' lacquer, in a rattle can. got it from my local hobby lobby.

nope, straight out of the box.

that's cool! nice job, I love it!

I didn't take any, as all I have is my cell phone for pic's as a shame less attention hound, I will show this pic,

I just had to share this, I have taken this to two shows since it's completion. I won a 1st place at an IPMS show [syrcon 27], and won ' best mopar' at the Fulton show yesterday I was quite surprised at both shows, but very happy to win.

I have a couple of the generic gas station kits, I may have to step up my skills and incorporate one of those into some sort of diorama by the end of this fiasco, lol.

beautiful rollback, excellent work Cruz, stunning.....

I just 'browsed' thru mine, it has a 5th wheel on the sprue. ,mine is an ertl kit [6671] no date on box, but was issued as ertl being 'a division of kidde', it also has a bar code on the box.

Jeff, i had the gold prostar at the end of the table, along with the black pete, and i had a 71 cuda and 69 chevelle drop top on the first table. the cuda won me best mopar i have a feeling we probably did walk past one another a couple times that day, lol.

i was there, and saw it, this is a killer build fellas, looks way better in person. great build Jeff.

oh boy......at those prices [if for real], i will have a ton of those bad boys........
