I might have that. Will check for you.

Dang. If I had that trailer, I'd do that trade for sure. It's the other Moebius box trailer I'm looking to trade off. The 53ft reefer. Ah well.

Technically...the ads you see are based on each user's browser history. So... 🤪 But I think it's more that this site discusses models at length. And we even have a drag section. So that probably skews some things.

Looks great! I have this one semi-started. Have been 3d printing some parts that will be so much better than what's in the kit. I like your idea of adding the chicken decal though. Hmm...

Your Capri is stunning. I love those bubblebacks! -
Why plastic bags to ship fragile items?
iamsuperdan replied to OldTrucker's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I oredered a kit off of Amazon and it was sent in a bag. When it arrived, it looked like the driver sat on it. Took it out of the bag, box totally crushed. Somehow, the contents were entirely undamaged. Perfect. Either way, I sent the pics of the crushed box and bagged content to Amazon and told them it was badly damaged, so they issued a full refund. And I bought another that was shipped in a box. -
1/24th. Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 "L. Hamilton"
iamsuperdan replied to Luc Janssens's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Is this a reissue of one the Revell F1 cars they did about 10 years ago? I think they did all of them then. Sauber, BMW, Jordan, Ferrari, Red Bull, Renault, Williams, etc. Whatever the case, I need one. Possibly two. -
Your paint looks excellent. The outdoor lighting is so much better than indoor pics. Not a criticism of your build in any way, but every one of these C8 builds I've seen looks like the front end sits high.

Pay for the resin and the shipping from Canada, and I'd be happy to do it. Shoot me a message and we can discuss. 👍

I needed a coolant temperature sensor for our Volvo. I ordered it in the evening, prob around 10pm. Delivered before 9am the following day. And 1/4 the cost of the part from NAPA or Parts Source, and 1/2 the cost from Volvo.

Yup, I have a 1/2" socket wrench that is so tight, I have to use a pair of pliers to yank the sockets off. But it's also the smoothest action socket wrench I have. I just feels better than my others.

Seriously though, I use Amazon all the time. But it's funny how almost nothing in my watch lists are ever on sale during Prime days. But there have been a few things. And here's a fun tip, if you have items that are "subscribe and save," have a closer look now. Last year, my 3d printing resin went on sale during Prime Days. When I checked off Subscribe and Save, it locked it in at the Prime Days price, less the 5% savings offered by subscribing. And I just noticed yesterday that the larger bottle of resin, which is normally $33 CDN is on sale for $25 CDN. And Subscribe & Save makes it even less. So I locked that it, because now I can get the 1000g bottle for almost the same price as the regular price of the 500g bottle. Amazon Canada is pretty good for modelling supplies, but really weak in their kit selection.

In North America, it only lasted a couple of years. 2004 - 2006, I think. In Europe, they got a couple of generations, and I think it ran until 2015 or 2016.

New F1 movie. Anyone interested??
iamsuperdan replied to gbdolfans's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
We thought it was excellent. Not the most original story line, and not entirely accurate. But it was a fun movie, the visuals were excellent, it was exciting. It's everything you want in a summer blockbuster. Grab your popcorn and drink, and enjoy the 2 hours. -
I worked for a VW/Porsche dealer when that car came out. We only received one of them. It was an absolurely stunning car, however...it was doomed from the start. About a year earlier, VW came out with the Passat W8. That was an fantastic car too, but people were very hesitant to spend $50k on a VW. That should tell you how long ago this was! So then the Phaeton comes out, and it's like $80k CDN. For a car with VW logos on the front and back. Hyundai were smart. When they first brought the Genesis line out, those cars didn't say Hyundai anywhere. No emblems, no logos, no badges. Just the Genesis logo. I think if VW had done that, the Phaeton would have done better. Asit stands, if I could find one for a decent price, I'd buy one now.

I had that issue a lot too. Here's what I do now. I spray my base colour, so in your example, the red. Then I mask, then I spray a thin coat of the base colour again. That way, if I get any bleed through, it's the base colour. Then I spray my second colour. Seems to be working so far.

Two door conversion too! Nice!

Cool looking Mercedes
iamsuperdan replied to Mr mopar's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Fujimi kit is incredibly simple. It was originally a motorized kit, so that should tell you the level of detail the chassis and interior has! The body is good though, and makes for a nice looking display piece. I've been looking for reasonably priced versions of the Tamiya kits for a while, to go with my Alfa 155 kits, but they are unobtanium. -
Personally, I would try a few different positions and just see which I like best. Having said that, if you want our opinions, you should take pictures of each set up and let us see. Red Blue grey Grey Red Blue Blue Grey Red etc. Hard to give an opinion when we can't see what you're working with!

I'll have to get some new pics, as they're all on a usb stick somewhere, but I rebuild guitars. I'll find some cheap beat up guitar on Ebay or Kijiji, then gut it, strip it, rebuild and hot rod it. I've also done a couple of kit guitars, which were a lot of fun. And during Covid, I tore apart and rebuilt our deck, and added a pergola. And it's still standing.

Any Aussies here? More specifically, any Aussies here that can help me source some parts from an older Holden? Actual vehicle parts, not model parts!

What is your favorite sports car?
iamsuperdan replied to WillyBilly's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That's an easy one for me. My fav sports car is also my overall fav car / dream car/ lottery win car / etc. https://www.stuttcars.com/porsche-911-carrera-rs-1992-1994/ -
Getting wet typically won't destroy a car, so I have no idea what these guys are thinking. I should have shot some video. Guys were literally panicking, running around like destruction was imminent. Getting peopel out of the way, grabbing covers from their trunk, yelling at wives to help them get the cover on. It was ridiculous. And I remember from my days working for Porsche, there were guys like this. If it looked like rain, they wouldn't drive their car.
