1/25 AMT Y-193 '69 Camaro Kit History & Evolution
Snake45 replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Somebody's phantom box art. Pretty nice job, too. -
Congratulations on inaugurating Page 500 of Irk!

Ask the waitress to scan the code on HER phone. And ask to see the price for every code on the menu before you decide. If a few people per store would do that every day, they'd quickly come up with some other system. Yes, every now and then it's quite useful to be Evil.

Moebius 1964 Nova SS - first detailed look inside the box...
Snake45 replied to tim boyd's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
You guys are killin' me! I won't get my Moebius kit until Tuesday! Indeed it does. I just finished bringing an original AMT '62 back from the dead. Looking forward to putting a Moebius on the shelf next to it. -
I saw this thread yesterday and it reminded me of the kind of work I do on old survivors. Drive on, my friend!
-
That's a cool old survivor! I'm very interested to see what you do with it. Model on!

They discontinued the coupons a year or more ago. Now they have the model kits 40% off every other week, which is somewhat cool, but never have any discounts on model paints, tools, or accessories.

I was thinking the first issue of the B-M was molded in red, like the box art. If it wasn't, then I don't have red.

Don't think I've seen one. I have them molded in yellow, blue, red, and maybe orange (a glue bomb--don't remember if it's paint or plastic). Was the "Street Burner" issue molded in green? I have an AMT '70 Baldwin-Motion molded in green. I seem to be working on a Roy G. Biv Nova collection. Have violet and yellow done already, just finished orange, could knock blue out pretty quick, and already have plans to build red and green. And an idea about indigo. (These are all paint, not plastic.)

Testor Mystic Emerald lacquer is a passable match, though a bit flakier than factory metallic.

I have several other reissues of this kit, but if this one includes THOSE wheels and tires, I'm in for at least one more! SPOILER ALERT: This kit is purely for retro/nostalgia/fun building. If you want a nice '67 Vette coupe model, buy the Revell, which is superior in absolutely every way.

That DM '68 Elky is nice. I lucked into one for $20 or $25 at the local toy show a few years ago (no box or papers). It was an early and still proud member of my Black Diecast Chevies sub-collection (which is now up to something like 15 or 16 cars, last time I counted.

Speed parts identification, and period useage
Snake45 replied to tbill's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Hmmmm, if they're not, you might be able to fake them by modifying the wheel covers from a '65 Chevelle.... -

Outstanding score--congratulations! If you do decide to do some flipping, I'd be interested in the '65 and '66 GTO hardtops, perhaps. Model on!

What Kind Of Music Do You Listen To While You Build?

Mostly talk radio. -
His car was obviously "day two" so he or someone might have added that hood later.

Rare Kits... prices.
Snake45 replied to Brutalform's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
When I bought mine, they were $19.95, which seemed a fortune at the time. I have all three--if someone wants them for 300 bucks apiece, come on over and drive home with them! -
I know there were both, because I swapped a guy a single exhaust chassis who needed one, and he sent me a dual exhaust in exchange.

Looks great, you really did a nice job with it! Well done and model on!
