MPC 1/16 '63 Corvette Stingray "SuperVette"
89AKurt replied to ImpalaBoy's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
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. -

That's great! I built a Lambo S-tank, same idea, blast out something rivet counters will ignore. -

Otaki 1/12 Lamborghini Countach Twin Turbo...Mission Statement
89AKurt replied to Dann Tier's topic in WIP: Model Cars
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?- 363 replies

Otaki 1/12 Lamborghini Countach Twin Turbo...Mission Statement
89AKurt replied to Dann Tier's topic in WIP: Model Cars
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?- 363 replies

About $50, a bit steep, but nothing like the '68-'72 Chevy pickup kits people hope to get rich with.

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.

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.

Wow,my work area is a mess.
89AKurt replied to NYLIBUD's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My model area is about 4'x6', but I have a 3'x3' paint booth the other direction. Recently relocated the model stash into a 2' deep closet. -

89AKurt replied to NYLIBUD's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I go through cycles. When I'm on a roll, I clean the workspace after finishing a build. Once in a long while, I add shelving, or go through parts stash boxes and sort out. I was working on two models at the same time recently, so now the bench is twice as cluttered. Then life caught up with me, and nothing is happening. -

I know the feeling of not being a perfectionist. I think it looks great! Nice color choice too.
