  1. I never knew before this topic was posted!
  2. True. I would eliminate the sprocket teeth under the chain.
  3. eBay score, from England. Thanks to this forum, and the internet in general, more cool stuff!
  4. Welcome! I've attended several Craig Hewitt contests. I also flew Estes rockets! The biggest is the Saturn 1B, that uses 4 engines, never launched. Have what's left of the Pershing that was converted to use Flight Systems F engines. Last launch the nose angered into the ground. That's why I prefer static models. Live north of you!
  5. Received the eBay order today! I'm going to post on Fakebook Marketplace, thus the setup for the picture. Will also post in the Trade department. I high-graded out the tiniest chain for my bicycle project.
  6. breaking windshields, shards
  7. Old lady not letting me in when lanes merge, happens often in Prescott. I tailgated until she turned into Costco, when she flips me off. She had one of these plates:
  8. Looks good from here! And I'm guilty of buying that too, but "regular" version. Thumbs up for building it!
  9. For some reason, I could not reply in a previous message again, but I could send you a new one.
  10. FYI: Can't send messages, says and error and goes to a completely different looking page.
  11. Due to mission creep, added more details, back to 99% complete. Lug nuts are in transit..... Someone on Facebook tracked down the Big Bend Open Road Race logo for me, I got it reduced to assumed size, printed onto Testors decal paper, sprayed with Krylon artist archival flat clear lacquer. If anyone wants some, let me know! cobraman helped me out with race numbers, thank you! I used the Indy driver's helmet, removed the face, hollowed out a little, used up the last of the nail 'polish', used the Indy pinstripe decals which happen to look like double yellow lines, added chin strap. I'm cropping side shots, makes it look a mile long.
  12. Really nice job! I didn't know such a kit existed. My dad got a used '72, the first year of this body style. When I was a kid and these came out, was excited about the wrap-around taillights. I'm sort of surprised these are not popular for restoring.
  13. Better picture, I bent two directions in a long piece, no way could I have done that with pliers.
  14. I found out about p-e bending benders last year, didn't know what I needed, but knew I had to have one. BNA Model World had a good selection, I went for the middle of the road and got this one. So far, it works like a charm!
  15. Interesting minimalism details on that last one. The graphics at the back, WTH? Not using the engine lid grill, would look like you lost the part on a model. Military color. I really like it!
  16. Very nice! I like the headlights, is that vacuum-formed covers? Doing the decals around the louvers must have been fun.
  17. They are all awesome! Funny I was looking for something, found a printout of a catalog listing for a Ferrari boat that looks much like this! That collection is something to be proud of.
