  1. That really looks great.
  2. Great build. I like the way you dirtied it up too.
  3. Very nice build.
  4. It's a 1/24 curbside. So there's a big opening in the back of the model. But it went together pretty well. Box art: Model: All that red on the body was supplied as decals, but it was easier to mask and paint it than put on large decals that were likely to split and not lay down well. Here's a couple masking shots: For the door "glass" they gave white decals, also NG, here they are painted: Here's the wheels painted up: Here's the dashboard:
  5. I built this model around 1995. I used the foil from Nestles Crunch bars for the chrome like BMF. I also used MCG PE and gave it seatbelts too. It's painted Testors Guards Red. The engine is detailed and the spark plug wires are in the correct firing order (I always wire those old engines that way).
  6. Very nice build. I like the engine detailing too. I did one like that once only in red. I'll have to post it too.
  7. Really nice build. You just can't go wrong with those Tamiya kits.
  8. It's box stock except for the seat covering. It came with this fuzzy stuff that was just giving off its fibers and didn't look right anyway. I put on this leather like material. I like to show enough pictures for a "walk around". First shot is without the fairings: Notice my paint detail work on the chain. No PE, it's the plastic one in the kit. I also drilled out all the holes in the brake rotors.
  9. This is a Lindberg kit. I made a beater out of it. I did do some detail work. The spark plug wires are in the correct firing order.
  10. Hey man. I never even read Rolling Stone. I never read a single issue. I just looked for a link for an article about people who are into conspiracy theories.

  11. Since when are conspiracy theories political? Unless they are specifically political conspiracy theories. Hell, I don't even like politics.

  13. The upcoming IPMS contest I was going to this Sat. and our next club meeting 4/05 have been cancelled. I really don't care about the ball games but that sure will also have an effect on the economy.
  14. That sucks. But for me it seems that my job is unaffected. I'm in the defense aerospace industry. Some people can work from home although I can't. But the virus does not effect our business. I sure noticed how light the traffic has been and empty parking lots around restaurants. It's the Zombie apocalypse. On Friday I had a hard time finding a parking space at Publix. I had to park around the back. Most of the meats and poultry were gone and the only paper goods left were a few tissue boxes and paper plates. We still managed to get what we needed. I just hop they will be restocked enough by this Friday. There should be less shoppers as the early shoppers are the ones who have hoarded and overstocked so they shouldn't need much again so soon.
  15. How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? Yes, I can actually say it.
  16. Is this like the Delorean kit? A pre painted diecast that you receive sets of parts by subscription?
  17. I have one and the Charger too. Of course I bought them around 20 years ago. I haven't built them yet either. They do have pre painted diecast bodies.
  18. Don't forget this flat head:
  19. Yeah, these people aren't playing with a full deck, they're not running on all 8 cylinders, the elevator isn't reaching the top floor, etc..... And they're just plain dumber than a box of rocks.
  20. I saw "Behind The Curve" too. Actually those idiots used the $20K laser gyroscope to attempt to prove that the earth is stationary. They said if the earth is rotating on the 24 hr/day cycle it should move 15° per hour (yes, that actually is correct). So that is the results they got by doing the experiment twice and they just were't happy with the results and wanted to do the experiment again to get the results they want. There's something seriously wrong with those people. Watch these morons. You'll do some eye rolling and face palming.
  21. Mike was so mad he went ballistic.
