  1. It's too bad this wasn't issued in 1/24. However there are a few 906 issues which according to what I've read, aren't that diff from the 910. Some Wiki; The main difference to the original 906 is the use of 13 inch wheels and tyres as in F1, plus a single central nut instead of the 5 nuts as in a road car. This made the car unsuitable for street use, but it saved time in pitstops. Overall, the 910 was lighter and shorter than the 906. I have both the LS 906 and the FPPM 906. However my LS 906 is missing the roof/a-pillar so I'll make a convertible CanAm-ized concept out of it
  2. Wow man! Brilliant for sure. How did you get it soo shiny? They do look best in red don't they.
  3. Very interesting feedback. It would be cool if some one from MFH, Tamiya or Revell would chime in since they all produce in many scales.
  4. Hi, While I believe that variety is the spice of life, I'm curious as to why the soo many diff scales; 1/4, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16, 1/20, 1/24, 1/25, 1/32, 1/64 etc... And why in particular does 1/24 seem to have the most subject matter? A work college mentioned that he prferes 1/24 as you can hold it in your hand vs 1/12 which is too big for his tastes. he also said the larger the scale, the less you can fudge with it.
  5. Wow, this car looks cooool. Awesome weathering and detail. Superb skillz!
  6. Wow, I love BRM. Killer work, man MFH is off the hook. I bought a few kits as they seem hard to find. Jackie Stewart is one of my favorite F1 drivers of all time as well.
  7. I clicked on this not knowing what car it was. Wow, very sharp! Looks perfect.
  8. Wow! Looks perfect! I've one of these as well but I don't think I'll be getting to it any time soon as I've a long way to go.
  9. It's certainly a car worthy of self soil-age.
  10. Top Gears take on this car; Ok I'm getting one... ... the Aoshima version that is
  11. I absolutely adore this car! I've 2 of the Fuji's, 1 to build outright and the other for a 350 CanAm conversion. I got some engine kits for it from HRM as well which are off da hook yo!
  12. Now that's funny. And he claims to have served the public for 25 years. I'm all about personal responsibility and self reliance. But to so blatantly prey on pplz naiveté, is well, to be a predator.

Wow what a deal!!! Vrooooooooooom my a$$
  14. This is such an insane build, totally awesome. I just saw the movie, loved it.

  16. Doh, Hobby Easy changed there release date from 4/15 to 5/1. http://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/bt0ygpoqgqk5ibemvetw.html
  17. Wished I heard more about the Pagani. Boy Aoshimas Lambos are top notch. I may get one of there new ones to simply have one. I read there mission statement, a very very cool company and cool management for sure.
  18. Thank you sir. I'm finally getting comfortable with building. It's still a process but its smoother then before.
  19. Wow, cool info, its cool looking too.
  20. Really?! Thanks man!!! If you search, you'll see my finished product which was a total buzz kill. Orange peal, scarce detail etc... Hence why the redo. Actually here it is; I was like 6/10 there. Hence why the engine gut for a crazy Cosworth turbo! man what a beautiful engine!
  21. What an amazing kit, such incredible quality! I'm looking forward to the Pagani release, should be epic!
  22. Notice how I cut out the foot well as I didn't even think about it before hand. I cut out the center and moved it up level with the rest of the interior but didn't think of the pedals. How would would shift, gas and break? You may or may not see the pedals when all is said and done, but they'll be there.
  23. Ola, remember me?! As I await to fix a serious decal mishap on my latest project, Tamiya Alpine A442B, I thought to redo this project. I was, as were some on this list, disappointed with my final outcome. So here it is, the engine is from a Kraco Indy, the lovely turbo'd Cosworth! I also got all the orange peel out as well and plan to do a better spray on her. I did a lot of rework on the cockpit as well and plan for some serious detailing. I also shaved off from the body and the side skirts so that the car is lower. Problem with taking this car from a coup to topless was that dims were way off. So I am adjusting her.
  24. Well I did the el cheapo snail mail as I'm in no hurry. But I wanted to get it. They are having a sale on the FXX-K as well which seems odd. But so much in life is odd that this is the least of my concerns.
  25. You ordering the FXX-K kit, cool!!! The PE and carbon fromage is cheap enough as well. Might as well get those too.
