  1. Finally found out the brand of the 1/24 Honda CB750 diecast I got at Goodwill a while back for $2: It's a Zee Toys Ridge Rider, also known as the Zylmex. Moderately pricey on eBay, but I'm still modifying mine, because WTH.
  2. ...and that awful hi-rise manifold with molded-in carbs...
  3. Saw a huge needle-nose Kenworth, three axles, red and grey two-tone, and a big stake bed. I couldn't quite see the plate, but it was a yellow one.
  4. Rules nowhere to be found? ... PEASANT REVOLUTION!
  5. Well, tomorrow is paycheck day. I was planning on heading out with my dad to an old hobby shop on the coast, a place we haven't been in years, back when I used to be into modeling the first time. Turns out the place is permanently closed... another victim of internet competition, it seems.
  6. I can't attach pictures like I could before, with the (just remove the 's...) '['img'='] commands
  7. Someone decided to up and leave early at work today, so we had to finish the day with three people.
  8. I've learned to be selective with the AMT stuff I buy, mostly because most of the stuff I have is flash-coated dredge... but this looks too cool to pass up. Maybe a rat rod dodge catcher is in store...
  9. Alright, I'm going to make one of these kinds of scooters... ...but with a .50 cal Browning MG, small arms in the basket, and a couple packs of cheap beer on the back.
  10. A couple hours and a handful of styrene stock, and I could make my regular T bucket into this.
  11. Actually, you probably will be able to buy cars from Cuba soon. Airlines, cruises, and boat trips are already setting up travel to Cuba. It may become a real possibility to buy these cars in the coming future.
  12. I hate making engine mounts.
  13. Usually when I go in there, people come in, don't say anything, then leave.
  14. Or gloss black with a white pinstripe to divide the green and black. BTW, what kit did the Firedome Hemi come from?
  15. Says the video is unavailable.However, from the picture, I suspect it's the thing where they put a brick on the accelerator, brake-lock one of the front wheels, then do laps over the roof as it spins?
  16. Needs the pace car light bar. I loved that car in GT4.
  17. Invisible text, I guess.
  18. You can get a spray-can mixed up at a local auto store. I know Napa and Parts Plus do this service, as well as most CarQuest stores. http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?type=paint&paint=4238&ditzler=80612&smodel=Chevrolet&syear=1953&smanuf=GM&sname=Sungold
  19. There's a Dekra one on eBay right now for $45 BIN. Most of the others are $70+, so it's reasonably expensive.
  20. That's one I'd considered for a while. Still, I'm a crewcab or extended cab kinda truck person, so I'll pass on it for now, even though it looks great.
  21. Whenever that resin Ford Crown Vic from Robert Burns comes out, I'll have to get it. However, I think I'll be getting a couple Fords, both the Custom and the Ranch Wagon next Thursday.
  22. I've seen some dragsters from the Eldon company in both 1/24 and 1/32.
  23. Why don't they put in a flathead engine option while they're at it?
  24. Yep, that's how the kit supplies it. No crossover pipes. Why? Who knows. Because Lindberg, I guess.
