How big is your... stash?
TarheelRick replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Not sure how many I have in my stash. Sort of afraid to count, but I do know I have more than I will ever build. -
Curtis Turner - The USAC years
TarheelRick replied to curt raitz's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Those are two really nice builds. Curtis was a class act. Is that '64 the Craftsman series Ford? -
Another amazing build from your bench and your photographic skills bring this model to life. Excellent work.

65 Ford F100
TarheelRick replied to raisin27's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Definitely one fine looking F-100. Beautiful color choice and paint job. Very nice photographic work also. -
Back in early November I ordered some items from Hobby Search (located in Japan). I have ordered from them in the past and received my packages within a reasonable time. According to their email to me my package was shipped on 8 November. I was given a tracking number which dead-ends at Kanagawa (Japan?) on 11/10 at 15:43. Now I did use Surface Parcel, even then the cost was pretty steep, any other form of shipment would have almost doubled the cost of my order. I figure the package got stuck in a container and has been almost around the world and is now sitting outside San Diego. Anyone else dealt with Hobby Search lately and having similar issues?

The real nightmare is backing that big butt up, it really doesn't swing that badly turning. Looking forward to this build. Will watch this build closely, I have been wanting to build one for some years now, maybe your build will be the motivation I need. I just this past week stopped driving a yellow bus and have relegated my driving to activity runs and sports. I drove in a neighboring county for four years and have driven in my home county for the past 10 1/2 years. Jeff for authenticity you will have to have gum, candy, and crackers crushed into the floor; maybe a spot of vomit since you are building an elementary bus.

Mine came in yesterday's mail. Some really good stuff on haulers. Got to get to the bench and build me one.

Normally outside lighting does work better, but on these two photos the inside one looks best. Very pretty color either way.
-
Beautiful work on this icon, also agree the color fits it well. Just a suggestion, the overhead lighting you are using is quite strong and washes out the color. Put some sort of filter over the light to slightly diffuse it.
-
Not familiar with this kit, but just a couple suggestions. You may have to do some minor alterations to the chassis or try tucking the headers in as close to the block as you can for clearance.

Just received my latest order from Texas 3D Customs and again am totally blown away. Got a couple of Econoline seats, couple of Powerglides, and an injected Ford SOHC. IMHO these pieces should be displayed in the Louvre art museum, they are that beautiful. Now I just need to find my workbench, get it cleaned off, and get busy building.

'29 Ford roadster street rod [AMT/Revell kitbash]
TarheelRick replied to Can-Con's topic in Model Cars
Definitely one fine looking street cruiser. Beautiful paint work and those wire wheels really look good. Beautiful piece of work. -
Going to be watching this one. I love those fat-fendered Fords, they can be built in a myriad of ways and none of them are wrong. Didn't Lindberg acquire this mold from AMT, there is very little variation if any between the kits.

Dodge L-700 Custom Hauler
TarheelRick replied to slownlow's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment

Great job looks like the real thing.

Making Windshields and Windows Clearer
TarheelRick replied to Miatatom's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You may be surprised if you just look around your house at the amount of clear plastic. A whole lot of the product you purchase are encased in plastic. I buy salads at the grocery store, and they come in a good-sized, clear plastic container. Although I haven't bought one in years dress shirts quite often come in clear plastic containers. Hope this helps in some way. -

What do you drive?
TarheelRick replied to gasman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I saw a blue one on the dealer's website and that was what I was looking for. When I got there, I found out that one was a presale and was already gone. However, they had another one speced the same way, only a different color; I needed a truck, so I took it. 5.0, 10 speed, 4X4 and a healthy rumble when the foot goes down. No trouble getting my boat in and out of the water.
