  1. Wanting information about a Carousel (brand I have never heard of) Lotus 38 Indy race car, 1/18 scale (weird scale for me). Met someone whose dad recently died, member of the model club let us know he had a collection. I have not seen it yet. From my search on eBay, it seems to be rare and expensive, holy cow! I told them it's the holy grail of the collection, I'm not taking advantage of them to steal it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Race-Car-1960s-Lotus-Ford-Indy-500-Jim-Clark-F-1-18-Midget-Racer-Carousel/302706393139?hash=item467ab50033:g:NikAAOSwUEVYC71O
  2. Fun topic thread. What Singer is doing to 911s is really amazing. This is my 930 Slantnose Speedster Turbo.
  3. I should watch this project, since I've built a few Porsches, and have two on the bench at the moment.
  4. Sage advice! I tried for the first time this year, sold a set of wheels was it.
  5. When I searched before posting, there is another thread explaining that. Daddyfink posted the correct kit, thanks.
  6. Love it! Thanks for making it dirty too, just isn't a rally car if it's clean.
  7. Box art dated 1979, kit # 1-3072. It's the silver factory stock version.
  8. I know some hate it when old threads are dredged up..... too bad. I just got one of these from an estate sale, for $40, still wrapped. All I wanted to know if it's a nice kit. And I assume Round 2 has not re-popped it.
  9. napkins at Delgadillo's
  10. That's great! I built a Lambo S-tank, same idea, blast out something rivet counters will ignore.
  11. Very nice, you are very organized which helps too. I put a flamethrower spark plug on the Honda Civic I did last year. I also put cigarette foil on some of the bumper for heat reflector. I also read recently the Muira was notorious, so owners install Halon systems. Any bets Teslas will also have this feature?
  12. Uh, did I miss you finishing the Pagani? Love this subject, I have several 1/24 kits, and the Fujimi 1/16 that would need such attention. You also adding a fire extinguisher system?
  13. About $50, a bit steep, but nothing like the '68-'72 Chevy pickup kits people hope to get rich with.
  14. Had someone whose dad died, had a bunch of models, many still wrapped, with price tags like $1.49. Some kits were started. The coolest I got is an IMC (Industro Motive Corp.) Ford GTP J car that was painted a bad white, easy save. Also got a Datsun pickup "California Sunshine" that was started, would make a cool autocross rig. Lindberg 1935 Auburn Speedster wrapped, Aurora Maserati 3500 GT, Monogram Cord 812, Monogram 1934 Duesenberg Weyman Torpedo Phaeton, and some other kits was my haul.
  15. Like I said. But I do have some bargain kits in my stash, good for those times when I want to start *and* finish in my lifetime.
  16. Good, I wanted to find this thread. I'm a lucky boy!
