what the hell happened???
iamsuperdan replied to eldo60's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I had the same problem! Used all Tamiya primers and paints, all purchased around the same time, all painted in the same conditions. I've used the same paints and primers (literally the same cans)on other projects with no issues at all. -
Love it. Was going to comment specifically on a couple of features, but then the list of features I wanted to give props for got too big. Excellent work.

Kits Which Were Once This, Then Became That

SC = Super Charged. As in; this is a Thunderbird Super Charged Coupe. I like this kit. Very nicely detailed. Been half-heartedly looking for one. I have the matching Cougar XR7 kit, so that will tide me over for a while.

Box Art Puzzles from Round2
iamsuperdan replied to Casey's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I dig it. We do puzzles quite a bit to relax. Usually Star Wars or music related ones. But I'm pretty sure I can get one or two of these thrown into the mix. -
1999 Chevy Silverado
iamsuperdan replied to Sergey's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Glad to see this one back It's looking excellent! -
It makes no sense at all. Somethings are super-fast, other things are taking forever. I sent two packages to the San Diego area back in mid-November. Mailed them the same day using the same method. One arrived in 11 days, the other arrived last week. I Google Mapped the addresses. They're about a 20 minute drive apart.

If the M1 is better than the Airfix version, then I'd be into that. I'm assuming it's a former ESCI kit? I like that Scania S730 truck too.

Survived eight marriages to seven women, diabetes, heart attacks, quintuple bypass surgery, a stroke, cancer, angina. If anyone was in the high risk category for Covid, it was him. I always liked his interviews.

I think it looks great!

I'm not sure if they still do it this way, but back in the early 2000s, all of the factory Porsche racecars came painted white, inside and out. Porsche said it was because white has fewer pigments compared to dark or metallic colours, and when painting a car, white cars were on average about 8lb lighter than any other colour. Apparently. I wonder if the GT4 program is the same.

Square body GMC
iamsuperdan replied to JET.'s topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Excellent work on this one. Weathering is fantastic. Obviously not built to represent a truck that has lived in Canada its entire life! -
BRBO2021
iamsuperdan replied to JerseeJerry55's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I have no idea how some of you do things so quickly. lolz. I've barley opened the box to look at parts on my entry. -
You're not wrong. I think I've seen some variation of this theme a number of times here. Anyway... Really though, to make it more than just a wish list, this thread should be about kits that have never been released and would make financial sense for a kit company to release them. I mean, let's get real here. There are some awesome ideas here, but the reality is that many wouldn't sell in quantities big enough to justify the cost of tooling and production. Through that feasibility requirement into the mix, and the list just got a lot smaller.

2020 RAM Power Wagon
iamsuperdan replied to Mopar - D's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I love it. And I caved. Mine has now shipped. -
Super clean build!

Hi Jim, welcome! Don't be intimidated by what you see! Yes, we have some highly skilled builders who can create things virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. But we also have beginners, and plenty of intermediate builders. I think the common theme is that we all enjoy what we do, and how we do it. There is a ridiculous amount of knowledge and support here, so don't be afraid to ask questions or post your work!

Thanks! Super quick slump buster. I have quite a few more of these to work my way through! -
AMT Chev C1500

Yup, inkjet printing. But I ran out of glossy photo paper, so had to make do with the matte finish photo paper. I know these technically are not GMT400 gauges, but they look good, so I used them. Yeah, kind of a different colour scheme. I was inspired by a truck at this year's Barrett Jackson. -
I'm not really a plane guy. especially with models. That was always my dad's building domain. But there are a few that just grab me for whatever reason. CF-104 Starfighter - I have a few kits of these in the stash. Will build them...one day. lolz. Avro Arrow - such and iconic plane, such a wild story. The Spitfire - 'nuff said. Ed Force One - 747-400 - Just such a cool plane. I have this in the stash too, with the decals.
