  1. Thanks, Danno. Clear, Concise Info. That helps.
  2. Yes, it is a Three Stooges phrase. Curley said it. As far as What those kits have in common with the Stooges, the answer is, not much. But all are the right era for the Stooges, and I would hope that there are more Stooges Tie In kits in the future. I'm sure the vast majority of the Stooges kits sold, are still sealed, and sitting in collections across the world. Stooge-mania is huge, and these are prime Stooge collectables. Like the Coke Kits, Builders are really not the target markets for these kits. And, I am so glad of that. It keeps kits in production that I would not always see, and pays for kits that we might not get otherwise. As others have mentioned, Tom Lowe is an expert in these kinds of markets, and using them to pay the freight is sharp, smart business.
  3. Nice Fix on the Exhaust Pipe.
  4. Wow! That Colour really makes it Pop!
  5. Nice Semi-TROG Build.
  6. I'll be following this build. I have a pair of these kits, in the Chevy Version. I'd like to convert one to a GMC.
  7. Very Clean Builds! Sharp, Clean, and great Colours!
  8. I have a set of Red Alert Decals, to use on one of my builds just because of this kit. Those "Branch Motor Express" markings seemed just perfect to me. Thanks for the inspiration, Tim.
  9. I agree on the steering wheel. It looks like the sprues are lousy. Not sure what else has you bothered. The kit looks okay everywhere else to my eyes.
  10. Beautiful Paint job, and a spectacular build.
  11. Great Build. The Colour Choice suits it well.
  12. Neat!
  13. Now, THIS is a Cool Build. Awesome Bodywork, and a fine stance.
  14. Ohhhh Nice, Clean Build
  15. Beautiful Colour, Beautiful Car. The whole Cuban Car backstory works well. I like the Build.
  16. I like the Snowflake wheels. That build turned out, very nicely.
  17. Yep. A Niche. And even then, it will take years, and millions of $$ to get them useful. I don't think from a Dollar & Cents standpoint that Self Driving anything will ever have a positive ROI. But, I'm old, now, and could easily be mistaken.
  18. I just tried the MPC Convertible Hood on my AMT Camaro. Width is fine but, but the MPC hood is too long for the opening on the AMT. I'll have to shorten the hood, a tiny bit, to get it to drop in. (At least on my kits)
  19. I'm not sure if these truck will ever be ready for Prime Time. Automated Driving faces a huge learning curve for the machine, and it never really stops. That is one part that gets overlooked. You will never be able to point to the finished AI vehicle and say, "Now it's done. It has learned all it needs to know". There is just too much for it to know. I think we will see AI Trucks/Cars, used in certain specific places, in certain very specific ways, but I don't think they'll ever "Take Over" Like Electric Cars, they are narrowly defined 'niche' vehicles. Inside their Niche they may be superior, but stray out side that narrow corridor, and they will fail.
  20. Great Build. Ready for another trip to the Bullring. Looks real.
  21. That roof looks very good. I like the wheels Choice, as well.
  22. Neat! Always nice to see Chitty.
