era is a time period that is generaly undefined however an hour is not long enough to be considered while a millenium is too long

While the box art has nothing to do with which kits i want, if there are 2 of the same kit at the same price, and one is the retro box art I'm more likelly to pick it than the 90s kits simply due to it being more colourful and cooler to look at. Its not the retro factor making me choose it, just the brighter colours somehow make it seem like a more attractive option to build than the same thing in a 90s box. The 90s box that stands out most to me is the chevy 70 monte carlo, the kit i have is the green stock build on the box top. The pic is clear and the build looks good but as box art its dull and uninspiring compared to the older boxes. I'm sure it would have made people pass on the kit which is a shame cos theres a very nice kit in the box

Mid to late 90s I was working at safeway after school. There was a very small local hobby shop sold tamiya for £30, italeri and heller were 15-25 but if i ordered from an advert in the back page of street machine or custom car mags I could get amt and monogram kits for a fiver, but I was impatient so I bought the expensive kits local and would do the odd day trip to aberdeen to a toy shop that sold the american kits. My only exposure to other people models then was the small talk pages in street machine and modellers corner in trucking international. I think the first kit I actually bought was with money I earned for being in a tv movie called venus peter, and the kit was an italeri peterbuilt wrecker that cost £32 from a newsagent that sold toys. I dont remember ever building that kit after buying it but it was shortly after seeing convoy on tv after being allowed up 5 hours after my bedtime on a school night because we didn't have a video recorder

Cool,

Well I honestly thought i was done with the bodywork. I had parts in the booth but the rear of the monogram body wasn't right. They have the section from the rumble seat back almost flat and if you look at a real 36 its got some curve to it. I guess thats why they had spare wheel to hide it but I dont want the spare as it'll spoil the flow of the chop and grille. So I took my blade and scribed around the body on the inner body line, from the rumble seat mount back (nearly messed up and moved it but realised before the cuts were done) so as not to affect the mounts and ruin the fit. Hopefully this will save some hair pulling later when it comes to assembly. I used some evergreen rod to move the body section out and as you can see the plastic is thicker in this area so reshaping shouldn't be too bad. This is after 4 hours but theres still shaping to do but the side to side curve is really there now and not just implied by the curved cut on the rumble seat top

I'd stick them in all the rest unless there is a tow vehicle in which case I'd put it in the class of the tow vehicle

After the incident with the ferry last week I thought i may be out of a job as the ferry I watch will be going back in service until the other is fixed. I asked my bosses what will be happening with all of us on the boat and we are going to be paid as normal for the time being. I've offered to help anywhere i can while I'm on the break

I didn't realise the rear bumper pic was so bad so here's one you can actuall see, lol I've also glued the front grille in place. I had to remove the 2 small sections of plastic that held the fenders together to do this so figured it best to do it at home so they didn't get jostled too much taking it back from the boat. To get the grille to fit also meant slightly pulling the fenders apart and I added a small section of plastic behind for additional strength. I might leave the bumper as one piece, it seems to be shaped to avoid the grille and once its at stock height it will give a more finished look to the front end

I would try painting the area you want to fit the decal with multiple mist coats from further away leaving it longer than normal in between coats so you get it to build up with orange peel. If it feels too rough you can then knock it down a bit with very light 2500 wet n dry to get the vinyl effect for under the decal. I should point out i have not done this but it is what i would try
