  1. Well, here is how it came out. Definitely not my best work and WAY more work than it should have been. But my friend likes it and thats what matters
  2. Acme Snow Relocators...what a great name!! I really like your build, very clean. Nice job!
  3. That Viper really works. I really the mods you have done!!
  4. I agree, nice save. I really like the hood scoop, that really works!
  5. Nice job "un-stalling" your project. Looks really good!
  6. I really like this guys videos. He is resourceful and very determined. And really well shot. Ive seen all his videos. But I find myself asking, why would he pick the projects he does. Some of them are so clapped out. But he is entertaining
  7. As I said, this was a sample of 1. And Im glad/hope that my experience is not the norm. Maybe my kit was made on a Monday or a Friday. 😆
  8. I like it. Very clean build. Congratulations and nice build
  9. While talking to a friend of mine, she said she loved the PT Cuiser she used to own (please dont judge 😁). Well, I happen to have the Revell snap tite kit in my stash (please dont judge..😆) So I thought Id build it and give it to her. Ive been building models for 50 years. And the entire time Im building it, Im thinking of what the experience would be like for a beginner or someone new to the hobby. Without some serious modifications, this kit could not be finished. The headlights had to be cut into 3 parts to fit. The windshield/side glass,back light fit so bad that the interior wouldnt fit and so the chassis could not be in even close. It had to be cut up also to use it. I realize this is a sample of 1. But if someone new to the hobby started with his kit, its going to leave a "bad taste" for the hobby. And then we lose another person from joining the hobby. And from I stand and what I see at local shows, there seems to be fewer and fewer new builders, especially young ones. Its seems the median age of builders is getting up in the 50's and 60's. Whats going to happen to this hobby if we dont get new blood coming in? I wrote to Revell, basically saying the same thing as here. Hopefully they will take this as helpful and not as an attack on their kits. This kind of a rant and I dont want to seem overly negative. I'd just like to see steps taken to ensure that this hobby endures. Any thoughts, comments, please feel free to chime in

  11. I like your way! Nice job on this build, Ismael.
  12. Thats a great build, Jurva I really like the subtle sleeper look
  13. I think splitting the magazine from the forum is a good idea. To Dave and your crew, good luck with this. Your taking on a lot and I appreciate your efforts. Onward and upward!

  21. Now that is a great tip. Simple, effective. Thanks Greg
  22. I will second the set up that Jose is running. I run the same set up and have had no issues or ads
  23. I have always loved the looks of these cars. You did them proud. Very clean!!!
  24. I always liked these cars done in the Pro Street look. You have done a great job representing this look! I bet it was a lot of fun building that exhaust around the rear diff. Kudos to you for taking the exhaust all the way out the back
  25. Very clean build. I really like the colors you chose. I have one of these on my desk. If it comes out as clean as yours, Ill be happy
