Ohhhh Nice, Clean Build

Beautiful Colour, Beautiful Car. The whole Cuban Car backstory works well. I like the Build.

Revell '70 Pontiac Firebird 2'n1 1/24
stavanzer replied to KT EASTMAN's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I like the Snowflake wheels. That build turned out, very nicely. -
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.

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.

Great Build. Ready for another trip to the Bullring. Looks real.

That roof looks very good. I like the wheels Choice, as well.

Revell 1976 Chevy Step Side 4x4 Pickup
stavanzer replied to mikemodeler's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Great Decals. Those White stripes will go with many darker colours. The Bedstrips are nice too.The Chrome tree is exactly as I remembered. It even has the winch for under the front bumper.Get the GMC Snow Plow Truck and you can have you choice of Chevy or GMC, Stepside or Smoothside 4x4s. Lots of fun to be had here. These truck are simplified, but practically fall together, so they will make great Slump-Busters. -
Well, Chris is Building the Firebird right now, and at least two other folks have the Pickup, either in their hands or on order, so I'd guess that they are out right now. But probably only on the 'Bay or Mail Order.

Ah. I understand. Since copper undercoats are needed under some kinds of chrome, they are just helping the "Modeler's Eco-System" to get established. It is all beginning to make sense now. I wonder when we'll see photos of the tiny ' injection molding' bushes. I hear that they can be hard to see until they bloom. -

Ohhh! That is even better. Man, I am itching to get one of these now. I cannot wait to see pics of this one. -
Looking Good, so far.I'd go with a pale tan roof. Car won't get as hot in the sun that way.

It is a very nice kit, fir it's time. It shares the chassis, engine, and cab with the GMC Plowtruck. It will make a nice source for kit bashing with the Big Game and Plow Trucks, as the grilles and beds (and intakes) are direct drop-in fits for all of them. Those are really sharp representations of the Rallye Wheels as well. I am hoping that the Rollbar, and lights made it into this kit. I'll be getting at least two of these. I think the Box Art is Great! It should sell many kits. Hopefully this will shake loose the long lost GMC shortbed ,stepside at Round2. -

My Bird, as she looked in 2014. I was her Crew Chief in 1987-88, in Okinawa Japan. -

I love that Copper Coated Log, he is leaning against. I did not know they had trees on the moon. -
Monogram Jeep CJ7 wheels

As a Former CJ-7 Owner, those are the wheels I'd use on a "7" with Steelies.
