  14. Anyone who wonders what the future of 3D printing in our hobby is, only needs to take a gander at this! Another incredible build shaping up, John!!
  15. I don't recall mentioning any of the groups you list. In fact, I didn't. I have no idea what your point is.
  16. Thanks, Jeff, Ray, Tim, Alan, and Carl!! From some angles, it makes me think of a stretched out VW bug.
  17. Wow! That SO works, Doc! That's the only way the word 'hybrid' should go with the word 'car.' (Good use of a Skyline.)
  18. Nice. I have one in my 'to-do' stash. What problems did you encounter with the hood?
  19. This slammer (my one and only slammer) was meant only to be an experiment with Krylon's Mystique color-changing rattle can paint. I quickly whipped out this Black Force kit by filling the hood holes, converting the roof from sedan to hardtop, and sectioning the body by removing the lower skirts and rockers. I used parts box wheels and tires because the BF's neat steelies went to another project. At any rate, once I had cleaned up the Black Force, I shot some DupliColor metallic charcoal on it. Then I masked off the flames and laid out the Mystique blue/purple paint. After removing the mask, I cleared it with Krylon. Because it was merely a paint experiment, I didn't bother with constructing an interior or a chassis. This was the result, without polishing. Even though it is labeled "Blue/Purple" this has green tones in it as well. It's pretty dramatic in sunlight as you change viewing angles. I've always intended to go back and paint the lower center of the grille. I don't think that mass of chrome looks as good as the car would with that center section toned down by either the charcoal or the Mystique. Hope you enjoy!
  20. A lot of the Middle East improvised combat vehicles used by Taliban, Al Qaeda, and other terrorist organizations started life as innocuous civilian vehicles in the US and other countries before they were stolen and smuggled verseas.
