1926 Model T Sedan - SomesortaRod - Finally Done.. Only 2months late!
JTalmage replied to Impalow's topic in WIP: Model Cars
After I first saw this build start, I tried to BMF a body panel and failed miserably. Kudos to you for a great job -
That looks great. Perfect stance too

Here's mine. (click the title "My AMT '36 Ford 3 window chopped coupe hot rod" for some reason it quotes it instead of just leaving the link to click)

Reissue of Warren Tope's '73 Trans-Am Mustang
JTalmage replied to '70 Grande's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
the console is molded into the interior tub. Ah yes, I remember that build now. I forgot it was yours. I'll have to go back and look for the WIP thread to see what you did with the chassis... And, I can't wait to see what you do with the WT body and monogram chassis! -
Reissue of Warren Tope's '73 Trans-Am Mustang
JTalmage replied to '70 Grande's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I could agree with that. The engine bay piece is vacant in the recent AMT release... and the chassis is different too. Which is depressing when trying to build a nice Mustang II. And it would be nice to have a nice original dash too for the 71-73 cars. I pick up every '71 re-release I can find when I can find it since it has just about all the parts.. except the dog dish wheels. -

If a modern tool Mustang II hatchback and a '71-'73 Mustang (with interchangeable noses) were released... I'd seriously go broke. Not even kidding. 2 of my favorite generations of Mustangs... besides anything foxbody.. I can't live without owning at least 2 fox chassis'd cars at one time. If Revell did a 71-73 car the way they did the 70 Torino.. man that would be sweet. -
Might try Steve Zimmerman as well... I think he has some similar wheels... but he has sooo many its hard to say!

New items available from Fireball Modelworks

I currently have the old AMT Pontiac Rally II's from the old 69 firebird kit which I think was 1/25, and the goodyear polyglas GT's from the revell/monogram 71 cuda/70 chevelle as the tires I'm using.. but I think they're 1/24th if I'm not mistaken. I mix scales so much I sometimes don't pay attention. But everything is going on a 1/24 scale Revell/Monogram firebird... so its a hodge podge... just dont want the tires to be too "short" looking. I'll have to take a look at the tires you offer with whitewalls and see whats out there. -
Great looking build!

I do enjoy rockabilly. Having only recently discovered it within the past couple years, I thoroughly enjoy it more than rock and metal that I normally like. I'm taking notes on the artists you all have listed so I can look them up because I seem to just hover around one or two artists until I burn myself out on them. I've been told I have a pretty good rockabilly singing voice by a couple people too. I just have trouble remembering lyrics and getting my timing down (which I'm sure comes better with practice), and a constant nagging sinus issue that makes me have more bad days than good... but when it's good, I enjoy singing along to sings while driving. I also got a standup bass to play round with too... so its slowly consuming me hahaha!! I'd like to eventually maybe record some covers of some classic songs... if I can just get my friend to want to play anything but heavy metal. LOL oh, and yes, girls who have the look I think are beautiful... imitating a time when people cared what they looked like. And yes, I agree as well... tattoos don't do anything for me. a couple is ok but covered... no thanks.

The Truth Is Out...The Earth Is Flat !!!
JTalmage replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
What I like to call... the "Grand Theft Auto effect"... lol GTA is a game that is an "open world" and you can literally go anywhere on the map... except when it comes to the boundaries. If you're flying a plane in the game, and you fly to the boundary of the square map (which is kinda like a flat earth by the way ) then you're plane will lose altitude uncontrollably and you'll crash into the edge of the ocean and die. If you're manning a boat, the boat will magically sink, and you'll get eaten by a shark. I'm sure these are very similar things that flat earth believers will say. Or, we could take a page out of the new Mad Max game... if you reach the outskirts of the map of the game, you get a warning message on the screen that says "WARNING: YOU ARE ENTERING THE BIG NOTHING!" And if you keep going, a crazy storm will form and kill you, if you don't run out of gas first and die of starvation. -
Whoa, never seen this before. I love it! Although I think it should be a wild color with lots of heavy bass boat flake... because that about the crazy era it looks like it belongs it.... but man I love it either way! Sorry if I missed it but what chassis are you using?

1977 Ford 4x4 pickup
JTalmage replied to Maindrian Pace's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
That looks beautiful so far. Can't wait to see the finished product. -
The irony... I was just looking on youtube for stuff on the Munsters Koach and the Dragula... and I stumbled across a video from "the car room magazine" and the guy was talking about the die cast or plastic built up reissues of the two cars... and I kept thinking where have I seen that name before??? oh, yeah, right here.

I hate the hood on the '14 Mustang. That will go. I love the Ford GT... and I really like the idea of the hidden headlight Camaro. I feel like I already have an AMT chevy truck like that, that I didnt finish.

Oh man... seeing this... makes me think of the tow trucks from the beginning of Mad Max (1979)
