  1. Chop looks good to me. Nice build.
  2. FWIW, I soaked my 1mm tip in paint thinner. So far so good.
  3. The guy still owns it and has it in his backyard.
  4. Just savin more cash or rebuilding what I goofed up when I was a kid.
  5. Lousy selection of kits here. Just clipped the 50% off coupon. Might go in this weekend to see if they still have the "32 ford. Picked up one last year and had one left on the shelf.
  6. I have DTV but not Velocity. Been watchin Truck Tech as they have been building up a modern day 1930 Model A p/u.
  7. I have a few of the Model King issues as well but will add this to my to-do list. I like the old straight-liners.
  8. Cool build!
  9. Awesome craftsmanship.
  10. Bucket T

    30 A-Bone

    Two thumbs up on this one. Great build.
  11. Saw pics of the Happy Days rod yesterday and thought about building it. Maybe someday.
  12. IMC released it in 1971. 1/20 scale.
  13. Lucky for me, I didn't use much glue on this kit when I first built it as a kid. Changed up a few things. Replaced the wide rear tires with smaller ones like the fronts. Not a fan of luggage racks so I left it off. Added side skirts to cover up the seam where the body meets the frame, much like the 1:1. The 1:1 also had 5 spoke rims so I covered up the baby moons. Paint is Testor's one-coat White Lightning. Decals came from the Bird of Paradise t-bird kit.
  14. Come on get Happy!
  15. That's one cool build.
  16. I'll play...
  17. Would never thought that it was your first fade. Can't wait to see what you will do with more experience.
  18. Had the same thing happen to my 1mm. Haven't tried to clean it yet tho.
  19. I started one several years ago. If all goes as planned, should be done in Jan. 2018. I want to finish my Bugs Buggy first.
  20. Got this Falcon at a yard sale a few weeks ago for $1. The main reason is that my late sister had a white one. Used to listen to the Eagles on the 8track. The second reason is that I can't remember the last time I found any kits at a yard sale or thrift market so I jumped at the chance. I think the builders must get buried with their kits around here. She's a little warped and the chassis is snapped in two. I might fix it up.
  21. Thanks for the info Mark.
  22. Oooh. Nice and clean.
