  1. Very Cool
  2. Looks good. I really enjoyed the kit.
  3. Looks amazing. Love the color too.
  4. Very nice. I think this is one of your best.
  5. I'd like to get one, but the prices on them are just too high. Looks good.
  6. I started on planes and moved to cars. My dad was a pilot, so I was surrounded by model aircraft growing up.
  7. One of your best yet
  8. One of the first car kits I ever got was a 1969 Olds 442. I used the wrong glue and it came out OK, but a few parts fell off in the engine area. I also used the wrong paint by accident for the interior and it screwed things up too. I knew I'd like to get another at some point and when I got my gift card as a bonus at work; I went ahead and pulled the trigger on purchasing a new kit. The old kit was red, and I wanted to find another color to show off the W30 package under the hood. I remembered that when my dad and I first moved into my step-mom's house they had a few junk cars around the yard. Her ex was a mechanic and her family are pretty much hoarders; so there was a lot of cool stuff in the woods. Around my dad's shed was a green car hood that I'm pretty sure was an Olds hood. I thought that color would make a good color for the model, so i custom mixed the paint to match what i remembered of the hood's paint. I like the new version of the kit. It's been improved a lot since 2005-2006. SAM_0115 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_0116 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_0117 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr
  9. I had the kit around 92-95 (?). As I remember it was a one piece deck back then. I may still have it stashed away in a box somewhere. I just remember being angry that my step-mom broke it.........along with most of my things. ?
  10. I got one of these kits when I got my car. I wasn't impressed with the quality. My kit didn't even have the decals for the stripes. You did a good job making it look right.
  11. Super Nice
  12. Just finished one I was gonna post today. But, now, that you've posted this, I'll wait a few days. Nice work
  13. Thanks for the tip on the sale.
  14. I just snagged one of the cheaper ones off eBay. They're worth it.
  15. Cool idea
  16. Well, being the Chevelle guy, I had to get it. This kit is awesome! I don't think I have any complaints about the kit. It came out amazing. I just wish the sun had been out for the pictures. They don't do the paint job justice.

  17. What did I get for Christmas? -Broke! Gonna have to get each of the first four!
  18. Looks good. I didn't have that problem when I did mine. Lost a couple decals off of it over the years though.
  19. No, never tried foiling before.
  20. It would have been interesting. I want to say that the kit did have a removable hard top though. As for the fit issue, if you put the dash on the interior tub where it says, there will be a huge gap between it and the wind shield. I ended up gluing it in the right spot by the windshield and then placed the tub in (Which was hard because of the control box being part of the dash assembly. It runs dash to floor board.). You can't see it in the shot because of the perspective, but the doors have a gap between them and the wall, and the hand brake and other controls are pushed way forward. The rod for the rear tires is also a little to long, but it's barely noticeable. I really liked the kit though. It came out beautiful.
  21. I didn't either until I randomly came across it. There's an S600 kit out there too. I think it's the same kit, just different box art since everything is in the kit to make the different versions. There's a few on ebay and Megahobby sells them as well.
