The Future of Revell...for 2024 at least.
iamsuperdan replied to niteowl7710's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Me too. Pretty sure all three will end up in my stash. At the very least, I'll have one of the vans. -
Radwood Ready... Tamiya Mercedes 500 SEC Lorinser
iamsuperdan replied to jaymcminn's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Perfect paint choice for that car. Can't wait to see more! -
The Revell W900 is a good starter kit for sure. Revell also has the Peterbilt 359, which is similar to the Kenworth. I also like the AMT International 4070A. It's more detailed kit than the two Revell kits above, a little more complicated, but it goes together beautifully. It's almost like Tamiya, in how well it assembles.

Days of Thunder Sequel Maybe
iamsuperdan replied to Leo64's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
DoT was not accurate, but then...the film makers weren't going for accuracy. They were going for something that looked and felt exciting. Mission accomplished. Yeah, it's a dumb movie, but it's fun to watch. Even if it's the exact same story as Top Gun, just with cars instead of planes. I'd watch a sequel. Although for the life of me I can't figure out how there's any kind of a story to expand upon. Unless they just copy Maverick. -
Looks great! I like the tire tracks, although a few more donuts would be more fun! Outdoor lighting is so much better for taking pics. nicely done!
-
Nice job! And you're right, the pics we get with our phones just don't compare to a real camera. Suggestion...take your pics outside. Natural light and a real camera give excellent results!

Well, you can always PM me and we can discuss.

I've never really had an issue with printing wheels. I usually just print them either flat, or at a 22 degree angle. At a slight angle seems to eliminate a lot of the layer lines. And I print at a .02 layer height. Takes longer, but the results are really good. For tires, I print them flat.

It is still available. ?

I like it! Looks exactly like that old Shapeways material. I bought a hood many years ago and I gave on trying to get it smooth enough to match the rest of the body. Awful stuff! I think you have more patience that I do though!

Upcoming Aoshima Pickup Releases
iamsuperdan replied to Jordan White's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I've built the 4 door crewcab version. That white reg cab should do very well. -
Porsche 911 RSR by Tamiya on Scalemates?
iamsuperdan replied to 64Comet404's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
So looking forward to picking a couple of these up. -
You mean kind of like they've done with every iteration of this car? Every time they've rebuild this car, they've done what is trendy in the world of performance. The various drivetrains, the suspensions, the wheel choices. All reflect what was going on at the time of the build.

AMT 2023 Ford Bronco Outer Banks
iamsuperdan replied to Jordan White's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I think the Bronco will be different, as it's the version everyone actually wants in real life. -
AMT 2023 Ford Bronco Outer Banks
iamsuperdan replied to Jordan White's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I know I've got two of the First Edition. Our two local stores kept selling out. Took me a while to get mine. I think when the inevitable 4 door is released, it will be a bigger seller. Just like the real one. When I worked for a Ford dealer, the 4 door outsold the 2 door probably 10 to 1. -
What do you drive?
iamsuperdan replied to gasman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That is some very tight clearance! But if it fits, then all is good! -
Very cool.
