  1. Thank you! I see you like Cobras, I just got my first kit last week, only because it was given to me, and I love the movie Gumball Rally. I also saw the museum in Boulder (or close to). Have not. I see some major detail differences, that would take massive scratch-building skills to modify.
  2. I remember when those 1:1 were new. A couple of years ago, my friends saw a yard sale with a few models out, found out there was a large stash, but the guy was only selling the whole thing. When I went through the list, saw this and wondered what the heck it is, saw one on eBay for a ridiculous price. So heck ya, look forward to seeing someone actually build one.
  3. Very cool, love the craftsmanship and subject, it's not just another 412. I also like the diorama setting, I've used my gas station diorama since I have it. I also got that kit last year. How many thumbs up is that?
  4. Thank you, appreciate it. Thank you too! It depends on the shop, in my case one cabinet shop charged me for 2' x 2' of my choice, because I did some remodel in my kitchen. The last time, the custom cabinet shop gave me the offcuts, more than a lifetime supply, but I had no choice on color. I recommend visiting a local shop listed as 'cabinets' and/or 'countertops' in the "Yellow Pages", not Home Deephole, explain what you are doing. They usually throw out the sink cutouts, for example, so timing is everything. That's too funny, the metal was thick, not easily dented like today's vacuum bottles.

  6. ^^^ Very interesting information! My two cents, am disappointed in the Shapeways sourced COE body, but the Berlinetta body is useable. If a cottage industry vendor wishes to do this, the product better be better than what looks like hot-wire cut styrofoam.
  7. , but Prepper neighbors
  8. Question for Alfa Romeo experts, I have the Fisher BAT5 resin body, I've read the car was based on the 1400 and 1900 models. I see the Italeri ALFA ROMEO GIULIETTA SPIDER 1300. Wanted to know if it would be possible to use the 1300, or are there too many obvious details that are different?
  9. witchdoctor voodoo offerings
  10. Appreciate your comment! Really easy, compared to painting the speedometer. I whipped out this jig, hoping it would help to paint the chrome evenly around the thermos. I should have done only the bottom, and come back tomorrow, but NO, had to force making it look used. Needed a safe place to keep the Coke cooler, and now I'm tempted to make another one because it fits perfect!
  11. are great radiators.
  12. watering habanero daiquiri
  13. That's funny, now that I'm working on backdating the Tamiya '66 to my parents '60. I would say 1960, it has the smaller windows all around. But the quality, yikes!
  14. I noticed that too. Perhaps when people start a thread, they overlook the tag box. Being a responsible forum troll takes discipline.
  15. Where did you get the idea that I'm offended? I'm not a Millennial Snowflake suffering from toxic masculinity, I just find this amusing.
  16. No kidding. I was never into slot cars, so this is news to me.
  17. HOLY COW!!! Now I'm going to get notifications about this.
  18. except lobbyists. Exceptions
  19. I know there are topics about eBay, regarding how to bid on something. But I found the asking prices for the Porsche 904 to be absurd, what makes people think a plastic kit is gold-plated?
  20. for model collectors
