Faithfully Recreating "white Diamond"
Joe Handley replied to wdcav's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
If it's anything like the stuff Mopar sells, you WILL want to test it out on scrap plastic. The Mopar Parts Moss Green Pearl spray touch up for my Jeep has some pretty nasty stuff in it and will hold onto the lexan used for RC bodies as well if not better than Pactra R/C and Model Master Lacquers do. I'm getting ready to shoot a HPI Wrangler Rubicon for my crawler and will even use a resperator this time around (didn't bother to read the can until after shooting the body the last time I used the stuff ) I'd bet the White Lightening wouls look really nice on that truck BTW, and you could always put the Model Master Pearl Lacquer over the top of that if you so desire. -
Looks incredible and clever idea with the rims. So I'm not the only one who thinks that...........................................................

I thought the same when I saw it, I just hope it's carberated or multipoint EFI and has a Dana 60 or 8 3/4" out back in stead of TBI Injection and a Ferd 9" out back.

I've come close to buying one of those kits a few times aleady too! -
Licensing Fees Gone Wild...

Well said Frank and Aaron! -
Just looks like it would be a nice fit in the Presley Car Museum

This year my sister's boyfriend bought his nephews a couple costumes for Christmas this year, one was given a pirate costume and the other a ninja costume both from Toy's "R" Us. I guess he mad some comment on Christmas Eve about how the oldest one, Justin, who got the Ninja costume can "Kick arse when arse needs to be kicked" and Justin heard him say it. My sister, her BF and his Mom were sitting on the couch at Mom's home while his older brother was helping the oldest put on the ninja costume and next thing they know the BF's older brother says, "JUSTIN!, you don't say things like that!" Evidently he told his Dad that "Now I can kick arse when arse needs to be kicked." My sister, her BF and his Mom are all sitting there on the couch laughing while the BF's brother had to scold the boy and bite his tongue to keep from laughing the whole time.

Whoa, wicked looking! -
What'd You Get For Christmas????
Joe Handley replied to Mike's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Pretty good, but I do have a few recommendations as what to install first; Bearings, Peak Charger for Ni-MH pack (Motors have very short lives with the Li-Po), Threaded axles (I hate the e-clips they use to hold the wheels on with a passion, they're same as used on my Min-T for the hingepin retainers), and last but not least.....RPM Bumper for Micro-T (fits perfect with MDT body!) I'd love to do this someday too Here's a pic of it with the RMX PT Cruiser Convertable I built last winter -
What'd You Get For Christmas????
Joe Handley replied to Mike's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Nothing kit wise, but I did get this little guy And it stayed stock until about 3:20pm or so today -
Thanks, I did pick up a can of MM white lacquer primer and a can of Nassau Blue today.

I Am Getting Back To Work On My 62 Falcon Custom
Joe Handley replied to ViperDave's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Looks good, I really like how the body mods turned out on it, here's what I would do for the rims too http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...=LXDH19&P=7 -
I just bought a new issue Stingray III kit and would like to paint it in the MM Nassau Blue Lacquer. Has anybody had an adverse reaction with the purple pigments in the plastic bleeding through Model Master or PLasikote primers? Also which would be better to use, white or gray primer? Thanks!

Very cool, I kinda dug the first pic without the a pillars, almost gave it a cantilevered roof! If you revisit it in different build, try the roof off a Chevelle like your real one pulled back further on the decklid area and try the a pillarless top too!

When Will This Be Kitted??
Joe Handley replied to a topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
But atleast the 2x6 bumpers are somewhat usefull. -
There was a diecast one made by Testors IIRC several years back.
-
And that's why I trash canned it, it was begining to feel that way too!
-
WOW, very nice job! IIRC one of the engineers on the 2.2 project (which is actually a /4 ) was also one of the engineers that brought us the /6! The L-Bodies didn't have much in common with the K-Chassis and it's variants other than drivetrain and rims though, but that doesn't keep people from thinking they're all undeserving of the Mopar name, even among Mopar enthusiasts (just ask Phil, we had to defend all the front drivers on another forum we're both on!)

I'd love to get another Turbine car, I screwed the one I had up so bad many years ago and would love to get another one! Now for my "boogie-kit"..............I bought the last re-issue of the AMT '64 Riv and with in the week, I'd cut my self badly working on it, destroyed the spoked wheels trying to get them off the tree, and got into a nasty arguement with a co-worker I've always gotten along with! I finally got spooked enough that I threw the kit out on the day teh garbage company came to pick up garbage at work. I hope the kit got destroyed before anything else happened to somebody!
