That's cool! Where are those cop figures from? I suppose that is 1/25 scale, right? Thanks,

WOW! That is looking sooo good! Looking forward to see more of it. Thanks,

Hello, I've always heard good things about Time Machine resins. Jeff is a nice guy. I just got the parts and they are absolutely beautiful. I got a few hoods ('64 Vette, '67 small block Vette, '68 small block Vette among others) and several wheels ('64, '65, '66, '70 Vette hubcaps, '57 and '59 dog dishes) The casting is superb in white resin. No flash and cleanup if any, would be minimal. They look like styrene parts to the untrained eye. Very nice parts! I'm very happy! Here is their link: http://www.timemachineresin.bravehost.com/ Thanks,

What a great album Matt! They were all great but the class that really blew my mind away was the closed wheel racing. Impossible to pick just one favorite! Thanks, -

VERY glad to hear that. A very important and respected aftermarket supplier. I hope he brings out a C5/C6 Corvette detail set :wink: Thanks, -
AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!! Looking for some decals for an aircraft model, I noticed one of the back boxes in the stash had something that looked like little "ants" TERMITES!!! and a lizzard's nest made their way into my aircraft stash, which is in a closet next to the cars stash. I had to take each box out and inspect everything. At least 2 models have been lost, and I'm not finished yet :x I also need to check the car's stash, but it should be OK because it has always been active. Check your stash every once in a while, especially those back boxes that have been there for years. Thanks,

Hello, I would go with lacquer. If you use enamel clear, it will yellow over time, more sooner than later. Lacquer is usually harder so it can be buffed and polished more aggresively. Been a solid color, clear is not mandatory, but I recommend using it as an extra precaution. Lacquer clear should not yellow over time. Lacquer however, usually requires primer because it is very hot. But I've heard people spraying Tamiya lacquer over bare plastic. I've never tried it. Hope this helps. Thanks,

My friend, Such a motive as inspiration deserves great respect. The paint job looks very smooth so I think it is going in the right direction. Thanks, -

Hello James, Welcome aboard! The car model hobby in general, usually leans towards muscle cars (Mopars in particular) and hot rods. Those have always been very popular. But you'll find here a bit of everything. From modern factory stock (me) to customs, tuners, muscle era, classics, early iron, racing, trucks, off road, motorcycles etc. etc. The beauty of this is that you can find inspiration in something you never thought about, and who knows, you may end up building something totally different. Enjoy! Thanks, -
Bill, Both came out great! I think my favorite is the GP version Thanks,

Looking good! Bienvenido al forum...

Nice work Matt! I was hoping to meet you (and your C6-R ) last month when I was in Atlanta, but you were in the middle of the move. I hope that went smooth. Thanks,
-
Ohhhh that will be a beauty! Excellent choice for a box stock build. Great subject and a wonderful kit. And yes, black IS a pain. Looking GREAT so far! Thanks,
-
That will depend on many factors, including personal preference, thinning ratio, equipment etc. In my case I use 20-22 for lacquers, 22-25 for enamels and 25-30 for primers. Thanks,

Looking good. Welcome to the forum! Many good modelers from Norway. Thanks,

Hello, Now here is something I started almost 10 years ago and was forgotten in the back of the stash. I found it a few days ago. My 1937 FordVette. The idea is to have a '37 Ford body and chassis with everything else Corvette. This is the '37 Ford model with the little trailer. It comes with the drivetrain already. I opened the doors and trunk, and plan to use either a '73 or C5 interiors. If I use the '73 it will be called the 3773 wired and plumbed. Scratchbuilt rear shocks. Aluminum driveshaft. Many shades of metallics. Full brackets. I HATE to see alternators in the air The engine has lost some of the wing bolts. complete fuel line and engine wiring Here is a mock up. I took a little break from cars and I'm currently working on some aircraft, but it shouldn't be long. What do you think? Thanks,
-
Ron, All are great as usually from you, but I love the '67 Vette (surprised!?) I plan to do my '67 coupe in Marina blue as well!!!! Thanks,
-
Bill, You mean like this? This has been started for more than 15 years. And last time I did something on it was about 12 years ago... Maybe I need to go back at it... Thanks,
-
Thanks all! Wow!!! rec.models.scale was where it all began! ScaleCorvettes.com was born there back in early 1998. I thought it was no longer active. Gotta get back there. Thanks,
-
OK, I know this is off topic but here we go anyways. Car model stuff has been put away. I want to make this ######: Look closer to this: in 1/72 scale!!! I'm looking in a mirror and saying "Good luck!" So I'll be away from cars for a while..... Thanks,

Thanks buddy! Always a pleasure having you here. We should do it more often Thanks,
