I always use google chrome as a web browser, and you need to add an extension called ad-block. And that will take care of pretty much 90 percent of your problems with photobucket. That site is such an ad-stricken site its ridiculous.

Wow. Great work. Very lovely. I almost had one of these at a show recently.

gorgeous build! I like the choice to go w/ the W engine.

I use Tamiya's grey primer, and they're fine primer in grey and white. I've used it on new and old plastic.... no problems.

I like them too... I also leave them in the box. I think in the back of my mind that one day when I'm out of models to build (yeah, right!) that I'll sit down and put all these together and display them next to the car... who knows.

Freaking great! love the fact that you also smoothed the roof out to make it a hardtop/coupe. I was going to build mine bright and shiny red or orange... now I'm having second guesses!!

Love it!!!

I've not used UPol clear. I've used their weld thru primer though. Perhaps that is why the gas out times are longer since it's legit automotive stuff. I can prime, paint, clear, wetsand, and buff tamiya in a day.

Do you air brush or rattle can? What kind of paints?

I can't seem to get that wicked shine that Harry gets, but I get close. My chrome turns out to be more of a polished aluminum with a hint of a brushed aluminum look. Harry, do you polish the black before applying your spaz stix? Or is your trick in rubbing the spaz stix at all? When I spray my Spaz Stix it is way too dull.. then I handle it and it shines up, but will rub thru easily.

This. This this this a thousand times over this. On an unrelated note.... I need to start selling on ebay!

Tried that w/ the latest Revell Ramcharger body.... no dice.

What a beauty! I love it!

Wish I could have had more time to build anything over the past few months. I unfortunately won't be bringing any builds with me this year. But should still be there to check everything out.

I also have one to build too... always LOVED this car. The TD kits really appealed to me when I was young.. and still do.

298,xxx miles. Next oil change right before 300,000. I've owned this thing since December 2009. I wish they still made these things. My truck is the best purchase I have ever made. It's not a rocketship and it's not the most comfortable, but it just keeps going. However I've seen these kind of articles before. Remember those gawd awful "torino" and "chevelle" posts that keeps popping up from time to time? Plus, the concept Bronco at the top of this article came out around the same time I was in high school... so that's been like 12 years! Just the same old recycled internet garbage. Ford did say they regretted halting production on the Rangers though, and had considered bringing them back but had made no set in stone statements. To me the EU Ranger is too "car-ish" and not nearly enough of a truck. Yes it has a little baby diesel, yes it has 4wd. I think they're ugly and the bed is too short. They did to the Ranger what they did w/ the Explorer on it's platform redesign, and took the "truck" out of it. As far as the Bronco thing goes again, there's been many many rumors of it being based on the F series trucks... there's been some homemade well done renditions made that made it look like an F150, an F250/350, and even the one at the top that looks like a futuristic first gen Bronco. But there again, almost every picture I've seen of it is just a recycled, re-photoshopped picture of the same thing we've been seeing for years. Ford has said, that they do NOT build orphan vehicles. The only 2 exceptions to this now, are the F150 and the Mustang, because they are their "flagship" vehicles. All other vehicles share platforms between Lincoln and Ford. Hence the death of the Ranger pickup, the Crown Victoria/Town Car, and the E series fullsize van, to name a few. So either they're really bringing the EU Ranger here, and then basing an SUV type vehicle off of it, to keep it from being an orphan, or it's just internet bench racing. I'll believe it when I see either of them rolling next to my Ranger on the highway.

Super cool! And one heck of a sleeper!

Rattle can paint doesn't bother me, Tamiya is a little stinky, but anything else doesn't seem to affect me. Now, real automotive paint, whew, that stuff is wicked bad for you. Which is weird because some of it can kind of smell sweet... I always liked walking over to the body shop when I worked at the car dealership. I just like that body shop smell. I always wear a respirator when working w/ real automotive paint. When I rattle can I am outdoors in an open environment upwind of my paint fumes. Filler/high build primer is mean to build up on the body of a vehicle.... imagine what that does to a set of lungs!

Great looking build! I was thinking the same thing... totally something you would see at a 24 hours of LeMons race!

Beautiful work! Gotta love those 70s era car chase cars!

I've not had the time to do any model building. Still working 60+ hours a week... But somehow I still manage to do model buying. I need to work on that.

It must just be me, but I've always had good luck w/ people on Craigslist, and Ebay. Just have to have common sense, and know that not everybody on the internet is your friend or neighbor. If something looks off or fishy... that's because it is. I probably buy more kits off ebay if the price is right, than I do at shows. I've also made some friends on ebay too... couple of sellers know me pretty well and will give me deals.

I actually have one in the process. And a Mustang Grande.

Scrolling thru the listings is half the fun. Especially when I'm on break at work w/ my smartphone.

Picked up some along the way... got this off ebay But ultimately ended up getting a better one and getting rid of this one. Also this for 10 bucks at a show I was at 2dr Monaco that I picked up at a show I'll have to snap some pics of the others I have. Eventually
