Is anyone watching the 70th anniversary F1 race?
iamsuperdan replied to STYRENE-SURFER's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
The BTCC is my absolute favourite racing to watch. Although I miss not seeing Plato in there, mixing it up...being Plato. As far as F1, I still like how competitive the mid-pack is now. And it's bizarre how many struggles Ferrari is having this year. Not being able to get out of Q2, being passed by a Williams, the Alfas, and the AlphaTauris?! It's weird. Would like to see another tire supplier arrive, and I think the 2022 changes and spending caps will go a long way to improving the sport. Although, other than Mercedes, it's pretty competitive across the board now. -
Although I wasn't a huge fan of the Black Panther movie itself, his performance was really, really good. In fact, I think he was one of the best Avengers in terms of acting skill and presentation. If you haven't seen 42, you really need to. His performance in that movie is amazing. Such a talent. Makes you wonder how much better his performances would have been if he hadn't been fighting cancer while filming them.

AMT Chev 454SS
iamsuperdan replied to iamsuperdan's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Slow progress, as usual. Got some paint on the body last night. GM's Pewter Metallic. Thought this would go well with the interior colour. Also got a layer of flocking down. It's almost the look I was going for. Just need to touch it up a bit. -

Wifey thinks a prancing moose is stupid, but she can't be bothered to peel it off. lolz ? -
Land Rover Defender

I totally want this to display along with my VW Camper and Mini Cooper. Very cool kit! -

Yeah, lots of cool stuff there, but not for a 2006. -

I wish there was more that could be done to tweak the 2.5T 5-cylinder. Wifey has an XC90, and there is really nothing to tune it with. No performance upgrades, no really suspension upgrades to speak of. I can't leave things stock, so this thing bugs me. -
Exactly! Those are fantastic.

I heard this over the weekend. Kind of wish I hadn't. I love his voice, but just don't like this rendition at all. Now, his version of Led Zeppelin;s Thank You, or Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U....now those are great!

?? Guitars in tune good and firm?... ?
iamsuperdan replied to disconovaman's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I had an X Series Rhoads that was awesome. Silver with black bevels, hardtail. Had horrible tuners though, and never stayed in tune. Should have just upgraded and kept it. -

Not sure what my post or presence has to do with anything. ? If I had any issues at all or saw any issues with the term "ricer" or "rice rocket" then I would have sent this into oblivion long ago. Carry on... -

If anyone is wondering, the rear bumper sticker seems to be celebrating the retirement of 73 year old Johor Bahru from the municipal council. Well that's nice. -

Is that a Jackson Warrior hiding there behind the Explorer? i'm typically a Superstrat guy, and not big on pointy guitars, but those have always been on my list. -

Excellent work! One of the many hobbies I don't have time for is rebuilding guitars. -
You have my attention! I've always loved the Harlequin Golfs. Got to play with them when new, as I spent most of the 90s working at the local VW dealer.

AMT Chev 454SS
iamsuperdan replied to iamsuperdan's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Didn't get much done last night. Nothing real exciting anyway. First coat of paint on the Recaros. I find British Crimson in the Model Master lineup does a reasonable job of simulating leather when it dries. And it compliments a Humbrol dark red I use for dashboards quite well.These are pretty much the only paints I use that aren't Tamiya. Also hit the dash with Tamiya Burnt Iron. Does a good job of simulating the dash grey on the real thing. Matches my 99 Tahoe almost perfectly, so I figured it would work here. Did a bit of assembly on the engine and suspension bits too. Clean up and paint to follow. -
International Prostar interior
iamsuperdan replied to Aerodyne03's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Prostar, much like a lot of trucks can be pretty significantly customized when ordered, so finding a "stock" interior pic can be a challenge. They definitely had two tone interiors available, much like the pics above from the instructions. They were also available with a wood laminate floor, also like in the pic above. -
AMT Chev 454SS
iamsuperdan replied to iamsuperdan's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Yeah, was supposed to be temporary, as the owner had some health issues, but it's seeming more and more like they might be permanently closed. Which is too bad, they had some really nice stuff. Dash and grille came from the parts stash. I have quite a few of these OBS trucks, and amassing quite the "pick n pull" yard for parts. Kits, promos, parts, etc. I should do a diorama with them. Anyway, these came from (I believe) a promo Chev K3500 duallie. -
Doing up a mild custom on this 454SS. The OBS body style is my all time fav truck, and I can't get enough of these kits. Normally I just build box stock with a little detailing, but this time I'm going a little further, and it will be basically my first attempts at using resin. This is AMT's Chev 454SS kit. I'll be updating the dash and front grille to the 1994 and up redesign. Seats will be Recaros from Clearly Scale. Engine will be a supercharged LSX, also from Clearly Scale. I'm undecided on wheels and colour so far, but I have ideas. Interior will definitely be a dark red, similar to the original SS interior. All I've done so far is clean up the body a little, test fit the grille, and get the first bit of colour on the dash.

Nice build! I love these cars. Would love to find a clean one to play with.
