Hope you all had a fun Walpurgisnacht last night. And that you got together with your other witches and revelled with the devil in a most excellent way. I worked on some models and listened to Alice Cooper. Also, we're now halfway to Halloween, which means it is entirely acceptable to watch horror movies all day today. If you love horror and Halloween, and don't have a Shudder subscription yet, you should. It's well worth the $5/mo.

Very nice couple you have there! I too like that you didn't paint it red.

JK production and JL production overlapped for a year. In 2018, you could order both the new and the old body style. That could be why there's some funny info. Kind of like how for the 2019 and 2020 model years you can buy both the new and old body Ram 1500.

Will be watching. I've had a soft spot for these since owning a 95 Z28 convertible. And I love red cars!

Looking awesome so far!

1988 Scorpions with Kingdom Come opening.

Wow. That auction is amazing. Literally dozens of solid project vehicles there. If that was local, I'd be signing up to bid.

Picked this thing up on Friday. 1999 Tahoe LT. Zero rust, one owner, stack of regular maintenance records, relatively low km. This has always been my favourite body style of truck/suv, and the pricing was crazy cheap. Could not turn this one down. Not sure what I'll do with it, but it should keep me occupied for now. Step one, figure out parking. As you can see, the driveway is full, and what you can't see is that the garage is full as well.

Paintwork is excellent.

I like it! Colour choice is great. i know what you mean on the side markers. I've built the standard Tamiya Porsche 996, and those front markers had to be shaved down too.

I only ever use primer on the body and chassis, never on engines/drivetrains, and rarely on interior pieces.

I only ever use Tamiya paints. A lot of the time, I find they need a couple of coats, so I just brush on two light coats. Rarely try to get full coverage on the first try. Seems to work for me.

Brushed on. I currently do not have an airbrush, although it's on my list of things to buy and experiment with!

A few more... These ATMs are getting a little close to home. Finally, received this in my email today. Made me chuckle.

I'm glad I saw the other thread, otherwise I'd have no idea what you guys are on about. This whole Dagmar thing. My old guitar instructor's wife was all Dagmar-equipped. This was late 80s. My friends and I busted many a gut whenever we saw her/them.

Man, sorry to say, but I feel so much younger than you guys right now. lolz. In addition to the models I would build. this was my pre-guitar/music childhood. I remember this was a huge deal the Christmas I got it. Within an hour of unwrapping it, and putting in the multitude of batteries, I had this thing doing laps of the house and scaring the cat. My first RC toy from Radio Shack. This is still in my parents' basement in a box somewhere. Come to think of it...it's probably stored with the Big Trak above. My first video game console. Was so happy about this. It's all we did on rainy days. Had a Redline RL20 almost identical to this. Mastered flat land tricks. Then did a jump, snapped the frame, and got into skateboarding. And this game was kind of a Dungeons & Dragons style game. Role playing, dice, cards, the whole thing.

Currently nothing with wheels. Although I am hunting!

That's what I use as well. Just need more practice I guess!

Excellent job! Extra compliments on your masking of the window trim. That masking is always a bugger for me. Hard to get perfect. But you have mastered it. What's your secret?

Holy moly, this is some nonsense. Sorry to say, but I run an adblocker. Even when disabled though, the site looks nothing like this for me. As Mike (Xingu) said above, this is being discussed right now, and we are looking at options to help with the problem. Hang tight, we're trying.

Can never have too many Porsches! Watching for sure.

Yup, dead link. Without saying too much, there's a few changes coming to the board, and that link will disappear.
