Roden Opinion
stavanzer replied to Mike 1017's topic in WIP: All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
That WNW Stuff is simply the best there is. And WW1 planes are small so, 1/32 works really well for them. -
Beautiful Build! I really like the Orange Colour.

Never Say Never about old kits. "New Era Modeling"
stavanzer replied to stavanzer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
My Guess (for now), is that only kits that already exist in some form, (even if the tooling itself is gone), will make it into production. I think we are 2,3, or 4 years away from using 3D printing to "Magic Up" actual kits. We are This close to it, but I think 3D is just not quite there. Yet.... But, It will be there very soon. When it does get there, the floodgates of new kits could open for all of us. -
40% off, is still 40% off. The coupon is still worth the trouble, IMHO.

Rumor has it that this is coming out. Any Details on what will be in the Kit, and which Quarter it will be coming out?

Nice Catch Steve!

Willys Jeep truck
stavanzer replied to BIGTRUCK's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Awesome Build! -
As the '68 Coronet saga and the story of the '63 Chevy Nova wagon shows, we have entered a New Era for modeling. While still early in the Era, the 'cloning' that Round2 is perfecting means that any kit now has at least the potential to be reborn. Will every kit get redone? Of Course not. Round2 still has to find and pay for kits to scan and tools to mold the new kits. But, it does open new horizons in the Hobby. Maybe the "Bottom's Up Jeep" is not as unthinkable as it was 2 years ago. And, Maybe a 4x4 Dodge Pickup is in the cards too. I cannot wait to see what is in the pipeline.

Round2/ AMT '55 Chevy Nomad Wagon Kit Coming in 2023
stavanzer replied to stavanzer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Awesome News! This kit is now complete! Thank You! -
I've got two older (molded in Red) Monogram '57 Chevies with those wheels, with that problem. Not Sure why that kit does that, but almost every one has those sink marks. I just use other wheels, but not everybody can get spares.
-
Not Sure, Daniel. But, the AWB Fans are pretty good about staying on top of kit releases, so keep reading here, and there will be news about it. It will be in the "Car Kit News & Reviews" section when the release date is announced. I'll guess Maybe 2nd quarter 2023, but I could easily be wrong.

Now, it looks like we may get this Drag Team in the upcoming Future. No One from Round2 has said anything of course (nor do I expect them to), but the AWB Chevelle is coming out, the trailer mold is in use, and the '63 Impala got a fresh re-tool a few years ago. It would be great to have both a Ford and GM/Chevrolet Team, to build.

Round2/ AMT '55 Chevy Nomad Wagon Kit Coming in 2023

If any of my models from when I was 14 still existed, I'd never show them in public, they were so awful! -
Hey, Revell put the spare tire in the Proper Place! Now, I'll have to get this one too. It looks more Like a Traditional 'Landy to me, now.

Nothing 'Sick' or 'Wrong' about it to me, Snake! Genuine Survivor, and I like the stance. -
Roden Opinion
stavanzer replied to Mike 1017's topic in WIP: All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
Roden kits can be very, very 'fiddly" to build. Fit is especially sensitive to sprue nubs that stick up, and even the smallest interference from cutting and sanding. Plus, they tend to have lots of small parts in a tiny space. You might see if you can leave out smaller, unseen or hard to see parts, to provide more clearance. Also, see if you can find somebody on Youtube, who has built that kit, and see if they had the same issues. Sadly, sometimes, it is not you, it is the kit. If you have to, fettle the parts down to get a fit. I've built some Roden 1/72 WW1 fighters (the Junkers "J" series) and the fit fought me the whole way. Other builders did not have the problems I had, so I guess I may just be 'Ham-Fisted' in my building techniques. Sorry, I could not be more help. -

Red Glass, Re-tooled Chrome! Even Better Than I had Hoped! Bring it on. -
Buried in all the new product photos, did anybody notice the Wompin' Wagon '55 Box Art in one display? That Box Art is hard to miss. (Original Box Art Shown) Give me this kit! 6 Fresh Tires, New Decals and all the Drag Parts! I've been waiting for Round2 to finally release this kit. It will sell Very Well, I predict.

B-17 and P-63 King Cobra gone for ever
stavanzer replied to Mike 1017's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Many of those B-52's have been that way for over 35 years. I saw some of them in 1985. The intact airframes provide parts to the current fleet. (In fact, the USAF "re-generates" one of the lower time planes every now and then)
