  1. I love all the parts......the more the better, but on newer cars where its almost impossible to see it all, it doesn't bother me if theres a lot or not. I use those kits as a way of taking a break from doing super detailed builds. To me, even though a kit has high parts counts, doesn't mean I have to even detail paint it, I've been known to just paint what can be seen -even with the hood/bonnet glued down. Even with Enthusiast Fujimi kits. Another good point to having a kit with tons of parts is that if you want to, you can glue the hood down and use the engine, or its unassembled parts for dioramas.
  2. OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
  3. WOW!!, never heard of this kit before...not my subject of build, but it looks sweet enough that i'd build it!!!!
  4. Thanks, Slusher!, we've been married for three years now, and I still cant get use to how involved she is in this hobby. she doesn't build nearly as much as we do, but she loves it. All of my past girfreinds could care less about this hobby, but not her. Like with our actual size Jeep, she wants us to put a winch on it, and says, "i don't care if we ever use it........it looks sweet!" -that's how she is, LMAO
  5. First off, VERY nice job on this fiddly kit!!!, Second, the valve covers that come with the Drag-U-La are Mickey Thompson brand, and third, after looking at all the pics I have of the Drag-U-La (without the body on), it shows having the Mickey Thompson valve covers. HOWEVER, t.v. cars have a habit of being different every season, so the tiniest little things do change. When I build cars like these, I build it with the bits I like best from all the cars. And on a side note, I posted a build of my dragula that I built, with a fully detailed cobra motor out of a Revell Mustang kit........it will fit (very barely).
  6. VERY COOL!! -i'll be watching!!
  7. My lovely wife asked me yesterday if I needed any supplies, so I told her and she ordered me ALL the different grades of Squadron sanding sticks-50 ea., two bottles RC 56, five sheets Tamiya masking film, and two Tamiya textured weathering paints.
  8. Looks OUTSTANDING!!

  10. Wish I could send you my catalogue, they have 2-3 different types of plastic rods, tubes, solid square, hollow square, ext. they also have all the adhesives, and they tell you what is compatible with what. they are a HUGE architectural model company, so they literally have EVERYTHING.
  11. VERY cool!!, Love the color, and your pics!!

  13. Plastruct has what you need, and a hell of a lot more!!!
  14. Sorry, I checked and couldn't find one. could you carefully polish it out?
  15. First time I've seen this kit built-up, other than the hood it looks nice to me! Q: did you lower the ride hight, or is that the way this kit came? I like it!, usually kits have to be lowered to get the right look. I like this build, keep up the good work!!
  16. What about the trash truck in "Dustbinmen"?, or a whole collection of Hanna Barbera's "Wacky Racers"?
  17. Look forward to this Very much!! This Michael Caine version of the Italian Job is actually my all-time-favorite "car" film -so many beautiful classic European cars!! -I really hate it though when they smash-up the Miura..........."your only suppose to blow the bloody doors off....."
  18. Still love how this is evolving!!!
  19. How about Peter Sellers "Silver Hornet" in the Pink Panther movie?

  24. I can totally relate to the "wall" thing.......hate to admit it, but for the last 14 months I've been working on a Tamiya Ferrari F40, and both of those met the wall
