Got mine last week. I think it was the last of my subscription, so I won't need to throw away a FSM.

You would think that business owners would be happy to have people in their lots(that would normally be empty). Some of those people, who wouldn't be there without the little car show, might drift into their business and buy something. It looks like they're far enough away that they won't be taking up any prime parking spots, and it also looks like it brought in a lot of people.

I agree completely. The girl who works in the model dept. told me that she keeps ordering kits, but the warehouse won't send them. So, I still find it hard to get very excited about 40% off kits, when they don't have any to buy.

What did you do to get kicked out? So, you can't park your car in a parking lot anymore?

Now, all they need to do is get some kits on the shelves! I went in yesterday, after they restocked(HA) on Friday, and there were still nearly 20 empty spots in the model cars section.

WOW! It's pretty bad when the best part of the whole video is Chad's dorky shirt.

Revell 40, and 48 ford kits, AMT 41 Plymouth, and 49 ford are all pretty good ones.

I was in the HL here yesterday, and there were 18 empty spots on the model car shelves. I asked the girl that works in the model section what was going on, and she said that the 40% sale wiped them out, and the warehouse can't keep up with the demand. I asked her if they were reloading with new kits and she said "I sure hope so".

Thanks!

How did you get the $15 off?

Snake is right! Don't use Fusion on models, but the regular Krylon "Colormaster" (couple bucks a can cheaper)works good. Even though the can says paint&primer, I still use Krylon primer with it. I usually use the cheap paints on the interior, chassis, and engine, and use Tamiya or Testors lacquer on the bodies, but I have used Krylon on a few bodies too, and it works fine.

I've used Krylon, with their primer many times, and it works fine for me. Just use thin, quick coats, and you will get a nice smooth, shiney finish. I think Chris "HPI GUY" did a video on painting models with cheap spray paint.

How about the 70 Cuda?

That's a great looking 48! I just built this kit a few months ago, and loved everything about it, except the hood fit at the cowl, but I finally got it to look pretty good. I want to find another one(coupe or sedan delivery), they're great kits.

I won't try to answer your questions because, like Steve said you will get a hundred different answers to the same thing. I will offer a suggestion though. If this is going to be your first attempt at a plastic kit, I would start with something other than the 57 Chevy Pro Sportsman kit. It is not an easy "beginner" kit, but there are many kits that are simpler to build and will be less likely to discourage a new builder, and will still produce a nice model. I've been building for years, and I'm still working my way up to Revell's Pro Sportsman kits.

I don't care if they have 40% off sales if it's on the same old kits. I always have a coupon, so if they were to ever get something new, I can use that.

You would think that with all of the nice 57 Chevys that Revell has done recently, that a Nomad would be a natural for them. It seems like they would have a good start with the other kits.

I can't remember any vinyl roofs on any car that had the seam down the center of the top. All of them that I remember had the seams(2) running down both sides.

The Flame Red is a great interior color, it's not too bright(just like me).

How do I do it without messing up the paint?

Where did you get that blue Olds in the background? I'd sure like to have one of those!

Try Lowes, they have a lot of Krylon paint, and it's less than 4 bucks a can.

I like to use Krylon satin Crystal Clear on interiors. It works on any paint, and looks like vinyl.

The Buicks, and Pontiacs are nice, but that 57 Olds is the best looking(in my opinion) car of the decade. That is the one that Moebius should do.
