How did the train chase in that recent movie with Denzel Washington and the guy who played Captain Kirk fair compared to "The General"?

I'm not sure what that looks more like, a Baby Tatra or a Baby Airflow

I have to agree with most of what's been posted, but I'm also kinda surprised that nobody has mentioned "Short Time" with Dabny Coleman too though. I'd post it here, but it's got some questionable language and gestures

Looks good Phil, I'm digging the Bellflower Pipes too!

I've got a 5 gallon Napa airtank that I've added a regulator (probably spent $100 10+ years ago) to and filled with a compressor that plugs into my cigarette lighter (Don't laugh, it worked pretty good on Pactra and Createx paints!) and a a Coleman air compressor and IIRC a 2 gallon airtank (think that was on sale for $59.99)that I haven't had the chance to get rigged up since I need to get the two next to each other and start looking and what I need to do.

That's good to hear, good luck on the rebuild now! BTW, I saw that a Klan group actually protested the WBC at Arlington Cemetery this weekend

Yes, they are radio control, and I think they offered the body with the kits based off their electric 1/10 RS4 "touring sedan" and their "truck" based "Super" as well as selling them as service parts to anybody who wanted them are replacements for the above vehicles or their own non HPI vehicles that were of a similar size.

Yea, sounds like somebody didn't want the hassle of dealing with those "toy cars" and would prefer dealing with the 1/1 "toy cars"

The only Escudo's I'm aware of were the HPI 1/10 and "Super" Escudo bodies for their 1/10 Touring cars and their RS4 MT based "Super Nitro Rally" rally car. Unfortunately that no longer appears to be offered by HPI any more Here's the 1/10 car. and the "Super". And yes, those are actually two different cars

Thanks Aaron, she probably wants it as a keepsake since her Dad served on that one ship (her Mom also worked for Curtis Aircraft as a Riveter )

Thanks Rich, I'll look for those kits at work then, the reason she was asking about that particular ship is that her father served on the USS Coffman during WW2 and was on it when they captured the German U-505 Sub that is now at the Museum of Science and Industry!

Has anybody ever seen kits of the Cannon Class Destroyer Escorts, USS Coffman in particular? The lady at the Advance Auto I ordered the Magnaflow stuff for my Jeep through was asking if I knew about any models of that ship or at least of that class of ship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Coffman

IIRC the reasons they put the eyes in the windshield was to keep the cars from looking "snake like" and there had been some precedence with WW2 era cartoons that places the eyes there too. :EDIT: Here's a couple examples of what I was talking about (the first one is thanks to our own Jim Gibbons!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poh-DoKbuo8

I picked up a Badger water trap, AMT '62 T-Bird, as well as a few rc car parts yesterday then picked up a AMT '70 Cornet, a new rear muffler hanger for my XJ (broke it last week and have it hung with bailing wire at the moment )and ordered a new Magnaflow 2.5" muffler and cat for the Jeep too. I'm going to try and install the hanger on the truck Wed then take it to a local shop and have them install the cat, muffler, and bend up a 2.5" tailpipe for it.

Geez Rommell, you're really cooking on this thing! It's looking good so far too!

There was one place they went to protest that was quite unappreciative of their presence, the groups minivan ended up with 4 flat tires and not only would nobody other than the area Walmart would sell them new ones, but they couldn't get a tow and had to drive the van there to have them installed. They better hope that somebody down there doesn't snap and do anything worse than that..............

Bought it and it's still in the Jeep.

I've already got the one that came in yesterday set aside for myself to buy before I leave work tonight

If they do, I won't feel one bit sorry for them if something happens to them while they're there

We got one of those at work today and it has all of the kustom goodies in it.......I had a hard time not buying it on the way out the door

GM actually build one almost 20 years ago as a concept vehicle from a Caprice wagon!

Wow, we've driven past that place when going to Branson many, many times Is that where the Chrome Shop Mafia shop is at?

Model, but those wheels would be correct for the real thing and Tamiya has those decorated disks on it's F1 R/C version of the Ferrari's too

I'll be honest, I don't care much for that Gen 2 T/A look on those cars, Just doesn't seem right to me. I've have done a Gen 1 Firebird on it instead, that would just seem to fit the lines of the car better to me for some reason.

The "Massage Parlor" and golf course scenes will probably be the best bet for anything remotely detail related.
