  1. This did the trick. More than I expected in parts. thanks for the tip greg
  2. Looking for anyone that can connect me up with a British model club so I hope someone can find me a hood and front end modification for the RoG Land Rover greg
  3. Ford Wimbledon white is an off white color not a snow white color. Just used DupliColor Wimbledon white spray. I use flat white primer and gloss it for my black & white cop cars. greg
  4. looking through E Bay I came across this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/374775733842?hash=item57425fde52:g:sgQAAOSwJxpkmJjg&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwPq1XnkH3eAnytNzAJNhWYqwNa%2Fwqd5T9Fg3PRSdZZdLdQV79IiXpMNEmmU1HabLO1UAZPy8T%2BZTMlnsqER8Ym27aZPpjc3R57jM7XrHPLUqBNx7dVDcnPJapwbD8MjFIuVHVwU8qSoeTiHGz1f4cAUr072zpwoTgkglW0YGlJQA93lImEOaq9CU2p8tzihhUbowO9Pk4xS4%2BwbktNSAsVB6dhMxsPv1KJ2B4UgjEyee0zTemp9lxVJuXW%2Be9kL%2Bhg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9DTmPueYg Anybody hear of this? looks like a Camaro kit. Box top art states kit unable to build. You woulda thunk that they would have thrown in all kinds of mismatch parts in the box. greg
  5. That looks like your at your finest. I bet the vents were put in on different shifts at the factory. Laverne was told left side hinge and Shirley was told right side hinge. Have an APB out at local hobby shops for spring material. greg
  6. My choice is to use the Dremel drum sanders for the rough out work, then files and then the X-Acto blades. Also have tungsten carbide spear shaped grinding bit that works really well at low speed. My Dremel is a stylus 1100 cordless. greg

    Ford GT-90

    Another design school test: Here's your pencil and here's your triangle. It aced it. greg
  8. Jeff: Turn the top suction hose around as when firefighters unload the hose they don't need to turn it around to connect the two together. Remember the cab is a tilt cab so room has to be left for the arc of the tilt. Also to Steve your right about building fire apparatus. I have had over 50 years of joy building them. greg
  9. Was just browsing the threads and read the one about the telephone booth and it reminded me of the old playboy cartoon of the drunk in a phone booth and on the phone. He was leaning out of the booth with receiver in hand saying he was at the corner of telephone and telephone. greg
  10. Calling it almost done. (waiting on more decals) The AMT Chevy van, Scratch built .040 evergreen sheet box with 040 quarter rounds on roof edge. curbside with no interior detail except kit parts. Johan radio console placed into doghouse, AMT TwinSonic light bar, Jewels for side scene flashers. Decals by Charlie. Paint is Walmart spray can, stripe is Testor's red (Insignia or guard's). Dual wheel rims made from backing rim put in front of regular rim, sanded off edge of regular rim so tire would slide over it. High top ambulance was built from original kit that had the optional side pieces. Was rehabbed last year. Building tip: I used 5 minute epoxy for the taillights. I mixed Tamiya clear red into the epoxy when mixing A & B then just dropped into the holes I drilled for the taillights,back up light just plain epoxy. greg
  11. Keep going no stopping now. greg
  12. Looks good, just two questions: Why the red stars and then Aberdeen Proving Grounds? Is it self propelled? greg
  13. OK guys: I took a Johan stretcher, and Prieser bather, sitting figure and 'Linc' and put them on the roof then shot the picture with the body on the spec sheet that I got the measurements from. You can see that there is room, though not much it would be there. greg
  14. No, it's just the shortest length that was a Wheeled Coach spec. greg
  15. In primer: Will be white with red/orange stripe matching wheel color, smoked windows no interior detail. jeweled emergency lights,AMT light bar. JoHan emergency console, greg
  16. ¢ Well I'll be?
  17. I agree and who took the cents sign off the keyboard? greg
  18. I don't think this will be the end, I foresee a flat bed trailer with a Sherman tank on it? greg
  19. Nice job on the B24, one of my favorite WWII bombers, Liked the Monogram 1/48 bombers, did mine in 'The dragon and his tail' using rub n buff silver and KitsWorld decal set, I had the model with the Emerson nose gun. greg
  20. Power antennas, fender skirts, continentals, loud horns, lap belts, wide white walls, red line tires, dog dish hubcaps, large diameter steering wheels, knee jamming key switch, front fender rocket or wing doodads, killer hood ornaments, if you owned a Jeep -fold down windshield, removable doors, removable top, and buying anything you needed from J.C. Whitney's greg,
  21. YEA! More nuts from Ohio welcome aboard, enjoy the ride. greg
  22. Well its on the way to Utah, Hopefully the Twin I Beam will survive the Postal test. Thanks to all my friends who helped for this cause. greg
  23. Calling it close to done, just a few fix its , will fix the D as damaged in handling will be redoing rear markers. Bumper is skewed as Ethan Wayne said neighbor backed into truck. Thanks to Charlie for the decals. greg
  24. Thanks for the tip but I went to Model Roundup and got a photo etch set for the kits. Got it on the model and some extra stuff like the dash logo, radio surround, rear cab utility light, door locks, and the side ranger logos. greg
