  1. That is some great work! I look forward to your first primer coat. Keep the updates flowing! Chris
  2. I love it! Fresh! NEW! Exhilarating! That fits Bob! Chris
  3. That is the best rendition of the trumpeter Monte Carlo I have ever seen. The boat only adds to it. Very nice work. Chris
  4. Wow, those are slick! Nice clean builds! Thanks for sharing. Chris
  5. Charlie, their is a longer version of this video somewhere on the net. Takes you inside the cockpit as well as a smoky burnout at the beginning. That fly by is also included. If I'm not mistaken that camera car was doing around 100 or so. Maybe on youtube.... Chris
  6. That is a sweet build! Chris
  7. Not too bad of an issue. I especially liked the SRT8 Up Close piece. That should help modeler's with that kit. So, Can we hope that issue 120 is at the press? Chris
  8. should be in by the end of February 2/28 Chris
  9. After seeing Bob Downie and the ACME club test on the available chrome substitutes, I'll stick to Alclad. Check out their photo test: http://public.fotki.com/grdeyed/model_cars-1/chrome-test/ Chris
  10. Marc, funny how the bumper and the chin spoiler add so much more to the car. You are really setting this one off! I love it! Chris
  11. Meaning Automotive paints instead of your Hobby enamels. The new Revell plastic is very susceptible to crazing without proper treatment. Meaning you should prime it with thin coats, or use Zinnser sealer on the body before even putting color coats on. When you do your color coats, do very thin coats for buildup before you do a wet coat. Chris
  12. The paint work is incredible! The doors look fantastic! Love it! Great work! Your relative should be very happy! Chris
  13. Marc--Simply put: Bitchin' Camaro! That looks great. The lighting seems to have really helped. Any chance you can take a snap of those? You know, just to cure my curiosity. I'll maybe have to pick some up for my bench.... Chris
  14. James, that is fantastic! I have one car in my stash, the F2005 that I cannot wait to get too. This is an inspiring build for me. Great work! Chris
  15. Derek, Build for yourself, you'll find it so much more fulfilling. Never be embarrassed to bring any of your models to a show. It's a perfect time to learn, ask and mingle. Most of the builders I have talked too at shows are always willing to share and help improve your build, but you gotta ask and be willing to listen. If you are building strictly for a show, sorry, I can't help. I build what I like how I like and go to the show to have fun. Anything that becomes of the show is purely coincidental. Trophies only take up more room which could be used to shelve more unbuilt kits. Chris
  16. These pictures are throughout a few years. But in general it hasn't changed much: More can be seen here: http://public.fotki.com/73superduty/my_hob...re_the_plastic/ I think this weekend I may finish up one of my builds and clean the whole room! Chris
  17. I had been wondering if you had gotten one yet Ismael. I really like it. I've been toying with ordering one myself. It looks great! Chris
  18. Here are mine: Mercedes 190E Ford GT Miami Vice 365 Spyder Porsche 928 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Lamborghini Countach Chris
  19. Here's my old girl, Goldie. We rescued her. Best dog I have ever had. Here is what she looks like when I bother her: She tries to hang out in my model shop, but she has that hair that sheds. I don't like her in their, but she'll sit next to the door and watch me. Chris
  20. Got mine at the LHS today! Thanks Gregg for the little shout out on the new kit list!! Very Cool! I haven't read my issue yet. Gotta get it out of my sons hands! Chris
  21. That looks sharp. I've got a kit here, but only because I wanted the wheel covers. I wasn't that interested in the subject matter. If that wasn't a great build for you, then I cannot wait to see your next one! Beautiful car, stance, wheels and paint! Chris
  22. Erik, I'm not a fan of red paint. But that is me. If you like it, then by all means spray that bad-boy and see what it will look like. Silver goes with just about anything. As for that hood, wow, how did you go about that? Looks interesting. Do you plan on carrying that out throughout the whole truck? That I like. Chris
  23. These were posted in honor of Fred Cady's decal work. Now that he is retired the builders of his decals had a great weekend posting their builds on Tom's message board. I saved all the photo's and now you can see them all in one place. Over 150 photo's of the great builds utilizing the Fred Cady decals. http://public.fotki.com/73superduty/fred-cady-tribute-album/ Chris
  24. Magnificent work Bill! It's so shiny now, will you still polish the paint out once it has all cured? I ask since looking at new cars on the lot they have exactly the shine you have now. Once you polish it out though I feel it gets to be much more shiny that a real life counterpart. By no means is that meant derogatory, but just to fulfill my curiosity. I usually paint and clear and depending on the vehicle determine if I should polish or not. Again, great tutorial Bill! Chris
  25. Here is a boost to KT's fine review. IT is a basic re-pop. It feels like the "new" Revell plastic to me. The key here my fine friends, is patience while painting with hot paints. Here are the pics: New Tires: For Bill: And of course the tails are in red and you have your clear windshield etc... Chris
