It's considered the General Tso's Galaxy of Prawns of the automotive world.

Another home run, Steve.

To quote W.C. Fields, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with....." You know the rest.

It'll never be produced as a car. It's being used to test design concepts that'll show up in the next generation of crossovers. Everybody's nuts about driving around in four wheeled humpback whales.

I believe both are produced by the same company, just packaged for their respective labels.

Buick Landshark.

So is Buckwheat.

That front end is designed to make stay-in-the-slow-lane beta male drivers feel like apex predator road warriors when they parallel park.

It's a coffee cup. Welcome back.

Back when people read newspapers, checking the obituary notices was how you kept up on what your old friends had been up to lately.

That is some most excellent weathering, Bro! The rust is magnificent!

I have 8 GS kits and I've never seen one chassis without the slots either. All of the AM versions, including the Revell rebox, were produced from the same tool.

Depending on what she looks like, the destination could be worth the journey.

It's winking at you, Tom.

Are you planning to soak the parts in a tub of Castrol Super Clean? In short, DON'T! Resin is porous and will absorb the cleaner. The chemicals will cause the resin to become soft and rubbery. There is no way to reverse this and you'll end up with an expensive mess. Get Testors ELO. All you need to do is brush it on the paint and wait until the paint wrinkles. Then, wash off the lifted paint, using a toothbrush and dishwashing liquid.

Like I said, it's not if, but when, baking soda breaks down and ruins that model you spent so much time and attention building to perfection. This thread by Pat Minarick should knock some common sense into yer noggins. Foodstuffs are the worst things one can use as modeling tools. Don't place yourself in the position to have this happen to you. Use products which are specifically compatible. That means accelerator for CA and microballoons for filler and embossing powder or flocking for carpeting interiors.

What's the product name? That would make it much easier searching for it with Google. A general search comes up with dozens of products, not necessarily the one you used.

The price should be cut by seven hundred bucks. The custom side pipes are missing.

Yes to both. I like them. The simplest way to find out what acrylic clear gloss and flats are available is to use Google.

Nice work. You might consider getting medium and fine grit diamond burr sets. You won't get the rough edges that occur when using regular grinding bits or drum sanders and you'll have better control on how much material is removed.

Call Arm & Hammer and they'll tell you it's a bad idea. The sodium bicarbonate will break down as a result of chemical interaction of the lacquers and/or enamels that it was in contact and/or combined with. The baking soda breaks down and becomes a gunky, oily, resinous yellow-brown ooze as a byproduct. It's not a matter of if, but when, the baking soda breaks down. It won't happen immediately; but, when you notice the goop seeping from under the paint, you'll regret using it. Armor modelers have been wise to this for years and avoid it like the plague.

Good! Better than stuffing them in your nostrils for entertainment purposes.

Actually. it has to do with hygiene. They don't want any possible nasty stuff left dirty toys by previous kids to spread. That's what the manager of the store in Brooklyn told me when I wanted to donate my son's baby toys. They have no problem reselling used shoes and funky, armpit smelling clothes, though.

The Goodwill stores around here won't accept nor sell any types of toys.
