What do you drive?
iamsuperdan replied to gasman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
You definitely have no need to upgrade your truck! A 2025 is really no better or different than your 2021. A few cosmetics things, a few options changes, but basically it would be the same truck. For more money! A lot of people are totally turned off by the 2.7 Ecoboost. I spent 3 years as Fleet Manager for a local dealer, and those things would just sit and sit. The only time they sold was during Covid when they were all that was left on dealer lots! It's too bad though, because they'll do everything that most truck owners want in a truck, and will save people a few grand in cost. -

How Do I Take Apart This Promo Model
iamsuperdan replied to obs.caleb's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Interior has a tab just under the rear window. Get a small screwdriver or something in there and gently pry the rear cab wall away from the interior tub. Once that pops out, it should be two tabs at the base of the windshield. I don't think they ever used glue on the promos. -
Removing Layering from 3D Printed Bodies.
iamsuperdan replied to Kayma367's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
So back to the OP, personally I would reprint that, and reduce the layer height. I use a layer height of .02mm. Takes about 8 hours to do a full body, but it comes out of the printer with minimal layer lines, so not much cleanup in that regard. This is a body that just finished printing yesterday. Elegoo Saturn 2 Pro using the Elegoo Water Washable resin and Chitubox slicer. Lots of cleanup, but no deep layer lines. Nothing that won't disappear completely with a little sanding. -
Where To Post A Diecast Kit?
iamsuperdan replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think if you're disassembling them and refinishing/customizing them, then that's no different than fixing a gluebomb or improving a promo. I'd say you can put it either in the Diecast section or the appropriate WIP or UG section. I doubt anyone would complain about that. Probably. If you're just showing an untouched diecast, then definitely in the Diecast section. -
Issue 226 is On Its Way
iamsuperdan replied to Dave Ambrose's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
Arrived in yesterday's mail. Edmonton, AB, Canada. -
Totally forgot about a classic! Kiss Kiss Bang Bang That's worth your time for sure.

In The Flesh - a BBC show with a very different take on zombies. Should have lasted more than 2 seasons, and at the very least, should have been given a proper ending. Santa Clarita Diet - same as above. Two and a half seasons, never got the ending it deserved.

Knew it was coming, but still a surprise and a disappointment. Awesome actor. Real Genius Top Secret The Doors The Saint Tombstone And of course, both Top Gun movies. I thought his appearance in Top Gun Maverick was just perfection. Was awesome to see Tom insist on that scene. And in watching, you could tell it wasn't a scene between Maverick and Iceman, it was Tom and Val. So good.

Removing Layering from 3D Printed Bodies.
iamsuperdan replied to Kayma367's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Just make sure it has no striations. 🤪 -
Took this early this morning. We had ZERO snow on Wednesday evening. I hate fake spring. Then went for a drive. As I type this, it's still snowing. Keep in mind, on Wednesday, we had NO snow.

Chevy Wedge NASCAR transport
iamsuperdan replied to WillyBilly's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Looks great! Converting to the single rear axle definitely removes the weirdness from this kit. -
Largest kit box ever?
iamsuperdan replied to OldNYJim's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think that's excellent. now I want one. I think the biggest box I've dealt with is the Revell London Bus. And I guess the Revell Cityliner bus, as it's the same size packaging. I have three of the London Bus kits and one Cityliner. They take up a lot of shelf space! -
What scale are you doing this in? It's pretty fantastic!
-
This is VERY cool! You should post up some video of this blasting around your track!

It's basically been confirmed. Not 100%, but all indications are that it's coming back for 2026 model year. https://www.motor1.com/news/754483/stellantis-new-hemi-v8-engines/

CHEVY 5500 SERVICE TRUCK
iamsuperdan replied to Swamp Dog's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Looks great! I did a similar build last year using the same body and the Ford F650 that Andrey sells files for. You did a better job with making the decals than I did. -
AMC Cars
iamsuperdan replied to Kenmojr's topic in 1:1 Reference Photos: Auto Shows, Personal vehicles (Cars and Trucks)
Found more scans of the old Matador! Most from 1976. Some from '78, one from '77, one from '80. Would be amazing to track this car down. It probably rotted away in a field a couple of decades ago though. -
1/24 Momo Porsche 935 Moby Dick
iamsuperdan replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Turned out really nice. I have a couple of the Ben Hobby 936 Turbo Martini kits and have been curious about how they build up. Incredibly basic, but should look good on the shelf when done. Like yours! -
Currently 3 Celcius, overcast, snow is melting.
