  1. Side windows should be flat enough to just cut from sheet stock; no vacuum-forming required.
  2. Amazing work, Pavel! I agree with JT and Sean: Much to learn from your techniques!
  3. Very nice model! Isn't it fun to build a replica of a 1:1 you have such a connection with?
  4. Excellent, G!
  5. That's a great story. Nice to hear something positive about a distributor for a change. Kudos to Squadron! Now, let's just hope the azzklowns don't abuse the bejeezus out of Squadron (like they have Revell and Moebius) and end up ruining Squadron's good nature.
  6. Outstanding work, Jim! Very convincing.
  7. Exceptional, Geoff! You are definitely the Mini-expert!
  8. This looks like a worthy project! Lead on, Michael.
  9. Good job, Bill!
  10. OMG! You're right, Andy!
  11. Good suggestions, Tom. I think the fenders extend too far to the rear, too. But that could just be me. Interesting project, Dan.
  12. The real money-maker in electronic gee-whiz features is in the servicing. The more complex the cars get, the less chance anyone can service their own car, and the less chance a non-dealer mechanic can service or repair it. Thus, more dependence on the dealer for every little thing = mucho more dinero for the dealer and manufacturer. Diabolical.
  13. Mike's right . . . Model T production ended with the 1927 model year. If they wanted to call it a "'29" they should have included the engine from the "429" Corvette kit. Nice build!! Here's an idea for the tires: Mask off the sidewalls and wheels, then shoot the treads with Testors Dull Cote. It will improve the looks of the tires 100% without going to the trouble of sanding them.
  14. Sweet. It's hard to argue with the looks of a clean Corvette! Every collection should have one or two for certain.
  15. One is "Highway Orange" and the other is "Hillbilly Orange." If it's "Highway Orange" it's grown up and has a job. If it's "Hillbilly Orange," it doesn't. If it's "Highway Orange" it isn't "Hillbilly Orange." If it's "Hillbilly Orange" it isn't "Highway Orange." Just like if it's if something is "Gull Gray" it isn't "Charcoal Gray."
  16. Very nice!
  17. Exquisite! Stunning!
  18. Sweet!
  19. Wow. That graphic and finish is so busy! Great looking model.
