1968 Chevy Corvette 427 L/88 Convertible resto Update! 2/2/19
mikemodeler replied to MrObsessive's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Nice work, I will be watching ! -
I suffer from CSBM too!
mikemodeler replied to drag racer 15's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
After selling about 50 kits in January, I have found myself buying a few more, even after I swore I didn't need any. Just today I was at Michael's with my 60% off coupon and then went to Hobby Lobby and used my 40% off coupon. I will not buy another kit until that Dodge D-100 pickup comes out, I swear! -
Looking forward to having this kit back. The box art is somewhat vague as to whether or not it is a long bed or short bed. I know much has been said about it being a long bed, will have to wait and see what we actually get.

That is nice, looks like it was a fun truck to drive. -
What's the latest Revell North America News
mikemodeler replied to Phildaupho's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Doesn't look like they have anything new planned for 2019, but at least they are keeping the brand alive. -
1/25 Revell '63 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe SnapTite
mikemodeler replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
It has a big block under the hood, so it's pretty fitting to have the hood Dave. I built a replica of it with the snap fast kit and big block hood and used the flames stickers too. -
1/25 Revell '63 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe SnapTite
mikemodeler replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Lee, An old co-worker of mine who has built some pretty cool cars over the years built this 63 Corvette split window with a big block. /home/michael/Downloads/10603431_880562868639890_5874987499704933316_n.jpg -
Hobby Lobby still carries the 57 Chevy and hopefully Revell will bring the 63 Vettes back out soon. Those Monte's build up nice, I have a few yet to build in the stash, gonna be doing wheel swaps though, those wheel wells are huge!

Time For a Workbench Makeover!
mikemodeler replied to 2002p51's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That looks much better and more organized, nice job. I recently upgraded my workbench lighting to a couple of OttLites from Hobby Lobby, including one with a magnifier and what a difference! My next task is to clean up and better organize my workbench like you have so my tools and paints are sorted and easy to find. -
1/25 Revell '63 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe SnapTite
mikemodeler replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Those are great kits, I have several of the convertibles and hardtops to build. Great way to spend a Saturday detailing and painting them, they make for a great shelf model when done. -
That is looking good so far and should be a beauty when done!

AMT '60 Chevy pick up
mikemodeler replied to Paul Hettick's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very nice details and colors, love it. Sure wish we had options on bed length, like the Moebius Ford F-100 kits. -
Rebuilding a 1:1
mikemodeler replied to 426 pack's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
This topic reminds me of something that is almost universal in most things in life: Want to make a million dollars? First start with two million dollars. I admire your desire to want to do what you are proposing, but in the end you will spend more money than you will make on the vehicle. Find something else to invest in if you want to make money or buy one of the vehicles if you want to wrench and learn more about repairing vehicles and can afford to spend the time and money doing so. Either way you will get an education and be better off for it. -
another great show by a great club, the SCMA!

1972 GMC Stepside

would love to see this kit again. Nice job of rebuilding it! -
Wheel Back I.D. Help, Please
mikemodeler replied to Casey's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Is that the '64 Chevy Fleetside pickup wheel back? IIRC, the number of kits they put those types of wheels in was not a lot and the first two that come to mind are the ones you already mentioned. The only other one that comes to mind is the 67 Chevelle. -
Airtrax, Jeep Wagoneer
mikemodeler replied to GeeBee's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I think that $90 is reasonable as it looks pretty accurate and has most of the parts needed. I am guessing the recent Revell Jeep pickup kit would be the best choice of kits for the axles and if one wanted a V-8? -
Airtrax, Jeep Wagoneer

Looks great, how do we order or find out more information? -

A Thought about the Magazine, etc.
mikemodeler replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
We can all speculate and ponder what should be done, but in the end it's up to Gregg. Not sure how many issues he is behind or he has ready to go and is trying to get printed. At this point, maybe Gregg will see this and comment, until then let's build some models!
