You are most welcome, Donny.

Looks Awesome so far! Making me want that new Round2 Mustang II Helldrivers kit. I like the Pinto Wheels trick. I'd have never considered it, until you showed it. Thanks!

Just jump in, Mate. Too much thinking and it will just gum things up. You say you've done Model Railroading, so While this may be the first car kit, this isn't your first Rodeo. By all means, brush paint the small parts. You may have to use a gloss coat over many of your paints, if they are railroad colours. Lastly. You will most likely make mistakes. We all do. No Shame in that. Just fall back and try again. You will do great!

Ollie's strike again

All the Big Lots here in California are closed, but no sign of Ollies. -
Donny. Not sure what the Discount Store/Low Price landscape is in Australia, but while it is great to have quality tools, I've seen guys build masterpieces with Old Nail Clippers, and Emory Boards. I'm saying start small, and add tools as you determine the need for them. You can make a great start with the Tamiya Basic Tool kit. https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/tools/basic-tool-set/ Sprue Nippers, Knife and a simple File. The tools will be great quailty, and I expect it would be easier to buy them at a hobby shop there, than here in the U.S. Add some fine files and sanding films, and you have a good basic set to start from, for model building. Good Luck, and Have Fun! I am glad you are here! Alan

There are no current 1/32 truck kits in the discount pipeline. Sure Wish I could lay my hands on a Bainbridge and a John Paul Jones destroyer. My Dad was a Destroyer Crewman. -
I'm sure I will.

Desoto hemi in a 40 Ford
stavanzer replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The DeSoto is real wide through the Valve Covers. I'd think you may have Clarence issues at the inner fenders. But, it was tooled about the same time & with the a similar philosophy as the Trophy Kits, so I expect it will come close to fitting. I've never tried it, although I have '40 Fords & '53 Pickups in abundance. Let us know how it works out. -
I like the Father & son figures. Where did you find them?

You are correct, James. The Camper Shell, Roof Lights and Push Bar, are unique to this boxing. Absolutely awesome to have them back. I'll just need to hit up Fireball Models for better wheels & tires, as the kit ones are poor..... -

What Did You Get Today? (Not Model Related)
stavanzer replied to LOBBS's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Four 1/35 Scale Tamiya Dinosaur Kits. No Good reason, and I paid $61.00 for all four kits. But, they are brand new and sealed. Not sure when (or even if) I'll build them. But, my Daughter in Law, is a Paleontologist, so maybe they'll end up as Xmas gifts. She and my son paint Warhammer & Fantasy figures so that might be where they go. -
Welcome to Bakersfield CA, Phoenix AZ, or Houston TX.

Yeah, the windows from any of the recent AMT Ford Vans would work on the Shell. -
Je suis ravi que vous nous ayez rejoint! You will like it here!

There were good parts in that kit?

Man, I have always wondered what that kit looked like. The paint is outstanding! Good Show.
