  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Although not my taste, I absolutely LOVE that Liberty Walk took a genuine, real Muira and cut it up! It's crazy, but it works.
  5. Definitely unpopular, but I'm not even secretly liking it. I'm fully out and liking these. EV conversions on classics.
  6. 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.
  7. Arrived in yesterday's mail. Edmonton, AB, Canada.
  8. Totally forgot about a classic! Kiss Kiss Bang Bang That's worth your time for sure.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Just make sure it has no striations. 🤪
  12. Many years ago I did this same conversion. Bought a hood and grille from Shapeways, and built it to replicate one of the Matchbox diecasts I still have from my youth. I could do a better job now. I like your colour choices, and you did a much better detailing job that I did. 👍
  13. 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.
  14. Looks great! Converting to the single rear axle definitely removes the weirdness from this kit.
  15. 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!
  16. What scale are you doing this in? It's pretty fantastic!
  17. This is VERY cool! You should post up some video of this blasting around your track!
  18. 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/
  19. 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.
  20. Definitely somewhere I've always wanted to visit. What would be even more amazing is somehow getting yourself into a private tour of the "archives" and see all of the cars not on exhibit. Imagine.
  21. 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.
  22. 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!
  23. Currently 3 Celcius, overcast, snow is melting.
