  1. Thanks , Steve. Fresh Information, straight from the source. We can all calm down now, and wait to see what will be shown next.
  2. Want! I'll keep checking back for contact Info. Thanks for sharing this!
  3. Gary, I found some Woodlite Headlights. https://icemancollections.com/products/woodlite-headlights-1-24-1-25
  4. Very Nice Car! The black is flawless! Good Show.
  5. I like this! Those Wheels look very Good.
  6. Uhmmm. Very Nice, so far!
  7. That is a "Goldilocks" build, Jorge. Just Right! My Grandfather had a blue 1973 Dodge Truck. I want to recreate it. You have a good eye for detail. Good Show.
  8. Great Period Build! The Metal Flake is perfect! Good Show.
  9. Neat Story. Neater Build! Good Show.
  10. You sure did an Excellent Job on that "Exploder"! When I worked at the car dealer we called them Exploder's because they were prone to troubles. You made me look twice. That could be a real truck. Good Show.
  11. Bill, I have not seen the kit. Here is a link to the directions. https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/9/0/5/1181905-74-instructions.pdf It looks like a typical 21st century Supercar Kit. Very Well detailed, with an intimidating parts count and assembly sequence. My Advice, take it very slowly, test-fit, test-fit, test-fit. It might not be a quick build, but sticking to the instructions should really help. Don't be discouraged if it takes a some errors happen. I'd even recommend gluing parts with white glue and testing the fit of sections with each other before blowing it apart and re-gluing with styrene glue. I found some online videos of building the kit. I have not watched them, so I cannot vouch for how useful they might be to you. BUt, It should help you to at least become familiar with the parts and how they relate to each other. After seeing your excellent Cobra, I know you can do this GT40 justice. Good Luck!
  12. It looks great from this side of the screen, Bill! Blue always looks great on a Cobra! Good Show.
  13. Awesome Conversion/Conversation piece!
  14. A Flat, Blanket statement like this is just wrong. The Budget and List of Kits to be re-issued is always changing. Nobody really predicted a '68 Coronet, let alone Drop top and Hard top versions. Yet, here we are. So, don't be in a hurry to tell Round2 how they feel about certain kits. No need to be pessimistic.
  15. Had a Good, Quiet Birthday today. 6 New shirts, had a cake, and family time. It was excellent.
  16. No need to be gloomy at all, Dude! This the best time to be a Modeler! The Recently Cloned Barracuda, and Chevy Wagon, the resurrected SSlasher Chevelle, and many others make this a Great Time. Are they kits I want? Not all of them. Would I rather see something besides the Fourth re-issue of the 1953 Ford Pickup? (the Baja Patrol issue). You bet I would. I think there are a dozen different existing kits that should be on sale rather than the '53 Ford. But, I don't run Round2. I don't see the Sales numbers, the Budget numbers or the Manpower numbers. I would speculate, that unless you are Self-Employed, where ever you work, has more full time staff than Round2 does. I cut them some slack. Man, I'll take a Back Seat to Nobody about griping about what and how Round2 does some things. However, They sell, & I buy. (or not, as the case may be). So, at the end of the day, I give them props for all they Have Done, Are Doing, and Will Do in the future, even if it is not to my exact taste. So, hunt up a vintage '71-'72 Roadrunner, buy it, and see if that will cause Round2 to bring one out. Seems to work on some other vintage kits that have been cloned, like the '61-63 Ford Pickups! LOL.
  17. I agree. All need more Photos. Especially the Bubble Top Vette!
  18. I love Bruce! "Fish are Friends, not Food"
  19. Excellent Build! it looks Killer in the subdued Green! I have this kit on my workbench right now. Good Show.
  20. Very Sanitary, Detailed Build. The Gold Wheels, and Striped Seats raise the level nicely! Excellent Satin smooth finish. Good Show.
  21. Mine were no Fnu either! I don't think I've ever been in that much pain.
