Gorgeous Build. I really like the trailer. -

Biggest pet peeves on builds.
stavanzer replied to LL3 Model Worx's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'll bite. Ditto on the Camber Tires on Drift Cars thing! That just looks so silly. I'll just leave out the 1500 words rant on exactly what I think. Suffice it to say that I cannot think of a trend in Real Cars that needs to die faster. -

I like the wheels. Where'd you find them? -
KW W900 Day cab
stavanzer replied to Oldmopars's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Indeed, as others have said, a Great Job. I really like the thinking that went into your choices. It makes sense and helps put the model in context. The colours and stance are just right. -
Anything New at Hobby Lobby?
stavanzer replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Great news on the '60 Chevy though. My HL has been out of them for months. Maybe I'll get another bite at the apple. I need one and missed out last time. -
will they ever make these dodge trucks
stavanzer replied to gray07's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
First Pass answer, is No. Not that Many Folks would not like to see them, but I don't think any model company will see a market big enough for these trucks to justify spending the Money on tooling. The Blue 1950s truck might have been done a resin or diecast many years ago, as it does look vaguely familiar. The latter Rams though, that's tough. Since it shares a cab with the '78 MPC kit, I'd suggest scratch building to get that truck. Lotsa work, but about all I can think of. Good Luck! -
Yeah, That Flattie is a Masterpiece!

I owned one of those Pinto "Ponys" as they were called. They were a truly stripped down car. Mine had 13" wheels from the factory. Auto Trans but a dinky engine. I got it from a mailman who had gotten it at a Govt surplus auction. It was a worn out Tub O'Junk, by the time I got it. I drove it until the tags expired, as it failed the Cali Smog test repeatedly. If you had one now, it might be worth a little bit, as they were sold only to the USPS, and were driven to destruction. But, they were as bare bones as it was possible to be when built, and probably the most miserable car I've ever driven.

Round 2 December 2019 Product Spotlight
stavanzer replied to martinfan5's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Great Catch, Casey. Makes a lot of sense that they would use those wheels. I wonder what tiers they'll use? -
I've never liked or wanted the 2 Door kit. Making it a 4 Door, has changed the buying decision for me. I neither know, nor care what Supernatural is, but if it gets me a 'More-Door' than I am good with it.

1/25 MPC Don Prudhomme Wynn's Winder TFD
stavanzer replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I just wanted Round2 to know what a Superb job they did on the Box Art! With the Low camera angle, the Font and Layout of the Names, the package just screams "Buy me! Buy Me, NOW!" Exactly what Box Art is supposed to do. I hope they sell a million of these kits. -
Maybe a Fire Chief Car then. I know they were often higher level trim than the base police car. And with the '70 Chevy coming out, there are fresh parts and decals to use.
-
Thanks, Casey for seeing that. I'll need two of these now, just for the HubCaps.

Nice! Very Nice. I like the Rim Change. -
It is 6:00 am, Here is California. For the first time in many years, I am sick on Thanksgiving. I hate the Flu, and I hate getting older. I'll manage to prop myself up at the table today, but I've been up all night trying (and failing) to get much sleep. Ugh. I'll be back in bed by 3:00 this afternoon. Have a great Thanksgiving, All. Be Thankful that you are well enough to enjoy it!

This kit should share the whole inner fender structure with the Blazer.

I've been told that the pillarless hard top 4 doors, were not used as Police Cars, but I will build mine that way anyhow. It will look good, I think.
