  1. This is what I think they are: BUT there is no accuracy guarantee written or implied The first one: I think it is a Ferrari 500/125 from 1951 The second one looks like a F1 512 from 1965 Third one is a 1970 312B (IMO, the 312 both the F1 and the 312 PB World sports Car championship racer had one of the best sounding engine in car history) The next one (in Rio de Janeiro Brasil) looks like a '97 310 or a '98 300 (square side intakes) Then there's a quick glimpse of what I think is an F-2004 (side pods) in the Grand Hotel hairpin in Monaco, setting off the alarm of a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, and the last one in the gas station has me puzzled. It looks like a 2004 or 2005 but I think it is NOT a 2006, (again side pods). I don't think it is the same as the one shown around Monaco, because the Monaco one has a big Vodafone decal on the side and the front wing is different. But the video is quite fast so it is hard to tell for sure. Great commercial by the way! Love the sound.... Is it possible to download and save a youTube video? Thanks,
  2. Click! My eyes hurt after more than 1 hour on each.... Thanks,
  3. It took me more than 10 minutes to be able to type! I'm still laughing so hard it hurts! Sorry Bob, but you made my day.
  4. WOW! What a great box art! I couldn't care less for the subject, yet the box art is soooooo good I may get one....
  5. Cool project! I'll follow up closely!!!!!
  6. Nice on both. That Camaro is looking GREAT! Love it! Thanks,
  7. Hello, Leather wrapped foam core padding, Simpson cam lock 5 point harness attached to the roll bar itself. As a certified diagnosed patient of "overcomplicaditis", the belts are prototypically and correctly threaded. :cry: It took me about 4 hours to do one seat. It breaks my heart to think this will barely be seen after final assembly... One seat down one to go, or is it 5 points down 5 more to go? EDIT: Ooops, this was supposed to go under the GT3 thread... oh well...
  8. For those of us who won't be there, are these available on-line? That Camaro concept roadster sounds very interesting..... Thanks,
  9. That turned out very nice! I wish I could do decals. For the life of me I can't lay a decent decal no matter how small or flat :cry: Thanks,
  10. Here we go again! Let's fasten the seatbelts and enjoy the ride! Again...
  11. Hello, Suspension, chassis and all undercarriage is done. I think I'll just display the car upside down The front suspension is poseable. I hope I'm no boring anyone with these updates. I know this is not the cup of tea of most but I'm having fun..... Now it is on to the interiors.... Thanks,
  12. Hmmmm, I went to the LHS to pick up a bottle of chrome silver. That was it: just a bottle of chrome silver. But when I got home, I found out this stray kit followed me home. That's my story and I'll stick to it! Not bad for $12.... Yellow or red? Thanks,
  13. That's making somebody else crazy Actually it refers to the effect of paint reacting with or "eating up" the plastic. Paints with strong solvents like lacquers are usually called "hotter" and they attack the bare plastic. That's why we use primer as a barrier. More recently, new models are having this problem even with "softer" paints. So more precautions are needed to prevent the plastic from been damaged. Hope this helps. Thanks,
  14. Great save as usual! I love seeing how you take helpless glue bombs and give them a second life.... Thanks,
  15. Chris, That looks beautiful! and thanks for the "plug" :oops: For me, this is what the hobby is all about: sharing the passion with others..... I have a Revell F430 in primer..... maybe soon...... Thanks,
  16. Matt, That's a geat job on a great looking Porsche! Do you have more pics of it? Thanks,
  17. I would like to get some scale lug nuts. Can someone point me in the right direction? They don't need to "work". Just the looks. Thanks,
  18. That's so cool! The interiors look GREAT!!! If only models could talk!
  19. Lee, Those are some great projects you have there. I don't know much about those cars, but one thing is for sure: They define the word ELEGANCE in my book Thanks,
  20. Hello, Since this is curbsibe, there is not much you can do right? NOT. The suspension and exhaust build up nicely. I particularly like the exhaust. But since the wheels/tires cover a lot, I decided to leave the driver's side wheel off. So I added the braided brake line, center hub, center nut and studs so the wheel can be displayed out. There goes the box stock suspension Brembo logos made in my computer. Keep in mind these pics are way bigger than actual size. I hope you like it. Now on to the front suspension, interiors and body....... Thanks,
  21. Wicked-abso-freaking-lutely cool!!! Congratulations to both!
  22. Just an update: WOHOO! It arrived safe and sound. Wipers came slightly loose but no big deal. The new owner is REALLY happy. He'll bring it to NNL east.... Thanks,
  23. moooooooooooi lindo Ayala, te estoy llamando pero no te consigo....... dame un call cuando puedas..... gracias,
  24. Hello, Brass soldering opens up a new world of modeling oportunities. Frames, roll cages, firewalls, roll bars etc. The possibilities are endless. Solid brass rod vs tubing: Tubing requires careful bending to prevent kinking, and rod obviously weights more. Other than those 2 differences: Is there any advantage of one over the other? Does tubing solder faster because there is less material to heat? Thanks,
  25. Not really. That's the name of the guy...
