A Wrist Rocket and 1/2" ball bearings works for a friend of mine.

Steve, I'm amazed that you're still posting in this discussion, four pages in. I think we all know where you are on the topic. In fact, I think EVERYBODY knows where EVERYBODY is on this topic by now. Hey, think it'll rain tomorrow? (Just tryin' to change the subject....)

Only if you're talking about the 129 with the BIG gun.

I dunno, old-school scallops and big "hot wheels" don't seem to go together...kinda like wearing neon-yellow sneakers with a double-breasted suit.....

Very nice indeed! I hope mine turns out that well when I get around to building it. Well done and model on!

I believe that's what I had at my last job. A few months before I left, we got taken over by a new corporate parent who came in and replaced all our computers with brand new ones. I asked about buying my "old" one and the corp IT guy told me that wasn't permitted--they'd be subjected to a "military-grade scrubbing and reset" and then resold to somebody. It's possible you ended up with mine, or that of one of my former coworkers.

Those things are just badass looking!

Just got--at Walmart--a Jada Stranger Things Camaro, looks like around a '78 or somewhere in there. Seems to be 1/24, or at least not grossly overscale like many Jadas, and I don't have any other diecast 2nd gen Camaros.. And it has fairly nice stock-ish wheels, too. Solid royal blue paint. This will be my next diecast Snake-Fu--looking forward to it! ETA: Just measured the wheelbase, which came in at 1/23.94. Close enough, especially for a Jada! Apparently, it's supposed to be this car: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1080569-Chevrolet-Camaro-1979.html

That IS nice! I have a couple Johnny Lightning '67 Shelbys that could hang right in there with 'em, too. Seems like a popular subject, and looks like no one did a bad job with it.

Build it out of the AMT '62 Vette.

Also from here. Good luck to you both.

I like where you're going with this. You did a nice job of removing the Bel Air front fender trim. Drive on!

Looks like you got a pretty good fit on those troublesome front fenders. Great finish, too! Well done and model on!

John Hiatt did a few songs I REALLY like. Couple I can think of right offhand are "Some Fun Now" and "Pirate Radio."

I apologize. I shall refrain from offering you assistance or ideas from now on.

Wow. Very sad news. Another iconic rock star gone. And 2020 just keeps getting worse and worse....

You'd probably be better off with an epoxy such as J-B Weld. Personally, I don't think I'd bother with possibly complicated bodywork over a change of that nature. I think I'd just live with it.

Looks like several diecasts I have on my shelf. Some of them are Camaros. Some of them are Corvettes. Some of them are Mustangs.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ain't it the truth!

That one will be popular. I'll prolly even get one myself.

I bought every issue of it I ever saw, but it wasn't easy to find around here. Sorry to hear they're gone.

Looks like it. Looks like it needs....wait for it....MORE COWBELL!

Yah, '64 roadster, but it's a full golf bag, not individual clubs. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1961-1970/amt_64_corvette/1964_corvette_conve-4.html#media

Probably the same people who have the molds for the AMX, the SC/Rambler, and the '71 Cuda.

Wow, that mag sure has gone down a strange new road the last two issues. I found next to nothing worth reading or looking at in the current issue. They even screwed up a photo feature on a '32 Ford rod! I'll be looking at the next issue VERY closely before I fork over 8 bucks for it. And I have a feeling I'll never be back. (Suddenly SO glad I don't have a subscription.) It is so very sad....
