29 Ford Model A p/u with California street choper 1/25 scale
stavanzer replied to Jack L's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Don't worry , Carl. Somebody on the 'Bay will be parting out these kits, and you'll be able to get the bike by itself. But, it would probably be cheaper to just buy the kit and trade the Model A, and keep the bike in the long run. -
Thanks! I had not known that. So, all it has ever been is the "Bumble's Bee" drag machine, and a Stock build? That helps, my planning the build.

1934 Ford Stake Bed Truck
stavanzer replied to ModelcarJR's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
One of the Best Builds of the '34, I have seen. The super smooth paint really helps. Good Show. -
Just coming back around to this kit. Would any body have set of instructions for the Original or"Countdown Version" from 1977 that show how the 'custom' body parts are used? I can make some guesses, but I'd like to see what the older directions show. Thanks. Alan

Revell 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 1/24 scale.
stavanzer replied to Dragonhawk1066's topic in Model Cars
Great Build! It looks real. I like the Colour you chose. Were the wheels you used, on the Chrome Tree or Bare Plastic? Good Show. -
Groovy!
-
That has to be one of the best builds of that Kit, I've ever seen.

stavanzer replied to Dave Van's topic in Model Cars
I just watched the Li'l School Bus video. I'll watch this one next. It was great to hear your voice, and see your builds. And, of course I subscribed. -
29 Ford Model A p/u with California street choper 1/25 scale
stavanzer replied to Jack L's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I believe you are correct about the stock wheels. Only the woody had them. And the '31 wheels are different than the '29, so you really should not use the '31 wheels on the '29 pickup. (although they will fit, on the model) I've seen the '31 wheels used on a sedan build. https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/builds/rm/build_rm_2169.shtml -
72 Chevy Wedge Racer's Wedge release announced.
stavanzer replied to GMP440's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I can only think of Two Hits on this tool, Recently. This one and the Racer's Wedge version. Is there a Third one, I've missed? -
I read in one of the Car Magazine back in the day (Car& Track, Road & Driver, one of those) that one of the real life reasons for the downfall of the Cheetah, was that the exhaust routing made the drivers compartment so hot that it would burn drivers after only a short time. Also the car was cramped and not very ergonomic.It just was never a very 'polished' car and suffered because it was never more thana working prototype, and too crude to function reliably.

Man, Round2 is getting a whole lot of use out that tool! Nevertheless, I'll think hard about getting one in that boxing.
-
I can wait until the second run hits the U.S. Not paying that much to be "First-on-the-Block".
-
I've done this, as well. Found set of Tractor Wheels that worked for a build I was doing.

1960 Ford F350
stavanzer replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Sharp Looking, Ford, Chuck! Your Builds always look so good. Good Show. -
At last it’s done
stavanzer replied to Allison's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice Job. The Gun Rack goes inside the Rear Window. Yours looks like it is on the outside. Other than that, Very Sharp Build! Good Show. -
1973 Dodge D100 Stepside
stavanzer replied to satterwhite78's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very Sharp! The Colour looks great. I like the fact that it does look like a gently used Dodge, sitting on a used car lot. I have the same kits, and I am planning the same build. I've started building the Longbed 4x4, Baja Brute Racing truck first though. Good Show. -
Mercedes Benz SSK
stavanzer replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
My Thoughts on this build. I'd say build it totally fenderless. An Open Wheel Racing look. A more Brutal, Stripped down Race Car. For paint, glossy Battleship Grey bodywork, and red wheels. What ever you do, it's going to look great! -
Mention has been made before, speculating that the Sci-Fi Models at Round2 subsidize the car kits. So, without knowing the numbers, it might be true that the Sci-Fi kits are more popular than the automotive subjects. I'd very much like to see a "Heritage" edition of the Ford Bronco kit, but I doubt that a Plain Jane Bronco would be worth the effort from a sales viewpoint.
