  1. Very clean build!
  2. I have, and it works okay, but I always go back to my standard backside of a well-used Xacto #11 blade.
  3. I've heard that before. Oh yeah, from you, last Wednesday.
  4. How on earth would you get that monstrosity to where you needed it? certainly not by railroad. You would literally have to build it on-site. Either that, or drive it the whole way, crushing whatever was in its path (and getting mileage measured in feet per gallon).
  5. The Chevelle box art is almost identical to the original, and the GTX box art is all new.
  6. That MPC '32 Ford Switcher is kind of a cool kit. Doesn't have a stock frame, but there's still a lot you can do with it. I'll probably buy at least one more of these.
  7. I think that's a photoshop. At least I HOPE it is. Would hate to think that any real '57 Chevies were harmed in the making of that backbirth.
  8. It's working okay for me, but I started it about 8 this morning. Still working. For the last month or two though, every time I start Chrome, it comes up with a message about "Chrome did not shut down correctly. Do you want to restore pages?" This happens whether I X out of all the individual tabs and it goes off, or if I just X out the whole thing. It always does "not shut down correctly." Oh, also, once in a while, I just can't get Chrome to start at all, and have to restart the computer to get it up. The same thing happens once in a while with the AOL browser as well. Just more First World Problems.
  9. Been doing this for 50 years and it works great. And it doesn't even have to be a brand-new #11 blade, either. I've also done it with a box cutter, and with whatever pocketknife I happened to have in my pocket.
  10. I haven't built the PL '64 GTO yet. But I DID do the same necessary surgery on a Welly diecast '65, with very pleasing results:
  11. It's working for me. I can see every excellent pic.
  12. If by "fill in the panel lines" you mean you're going to run a black wash in there, DON'T. It will look horrible. I speak from experience here. You'll look at these pictures and wish you'd left it alone. If you think you just HAVE to try it, get some water-based acrylic craft paint in a very light gray, thin it with water, and do it with that.
  13. Some very nice rescue/rehab work there! Looks like your club has a great group of Glue Bomb Heroes!
  14. Looking good! You're reminding me that I NEED to take and post pics of the one I finished up a couple months ago, before you put this one Under Glass and make mine look like the backbirth turd that it is!
  15. Okay no problem, just askin' for a friend.

    Scarab Mk 1

    Very nice indeed!
  17. The Corvette looks a bit off in profile, especially the roof area. The other three look pretty good.
  18. Shiny! The color looks very close to '72-'73 Elkhart Green. To get the ick out of the panel lines, try a toothbrush under warm or hot running water. It works pretty well for me.
  19. Not deliberately, no. But 50 years ago I painted the chrome headlights of this '66 Skylark with several coats of Pactra Clear and today they're pretty much amber.
  20. There's a guy who has a bunch of these at the monthly local toy show I go to. Not sure which ones he has at any given moment, but I bought a Chevy from him a few months ago. I think he asks somewhere in the $30-40 range for them.
  21. Very nice, very clean!

    '66 Lincoln

    Very clean! I'm not a Lincoln fan but I kinda like this one.
  23. Sorry, I don't think they'd be an improvement on my '69 Chevelle.
  24. Sorry, I can't help you. Maybe posting this down in the Wanted section would turn up what you need.
  25. I was thinking of someone else. And it's not me.
