  1. It does? That's the BAT7. I believe painting it a different color would be sacrilegious enough.
  2. Yes I am! Good service.
  3. More pictures on Fakebook:
  4. Seeing if I can stay sane building two models at the same time. The Paris Dakar 959 is a really nice resin transkit, and I could not let the donor kit just sit in the box, so I am also building something different. The fun thing about a project like this, I need to be accurate with the race car, but can design as I go with the Speedster. A disappointment is how Tamiya left out the intercoolers and piping, and the transkit ignores that feature too! The Paris Dakar 959 pushed the envelope in it's day, and I have seen 1:18 die cast models. But it really needs to be done like it was rode hard and hung up wet, perhaps scraping it along the ground will add appropriate texture. I have found some fitment issues, otherwise so far so good. The Speedster, I know it would be sacrilegious to hack up a real 911 Speedster and 959, but that's what's fun about models! I built a 930 slant nose Turbo Speedster with some of the parts, other parts are in another project (stalled for some time). I'm thinking of hinging the door on the bottom, so it could be used as a camera car. It's also just a Curbside. Good & Evil Twins.
  5. Great, more awesome ideas for things I'll never get around to doing. That is really cool!
  6. Everything is for sale, just look at all the sponsorship logos. They tried pickups, maybe they can introduce SUVs, with Playskool sponsorship.
  7. I like this, must the the fastest brick around.
  8. Thanks! I asked to take pictures of their Camaro patrol car for emblems and license plate. Also radar gun. LOL
  9. You don't need to justify this to me! I have many subjects that will never be available again. And I'm waiting on two orders at the moment, hoping they will show up someday. And I'm also wanting to get a Chevy pickup, preferably '69, but they are gold-plated at this time. Any bets if I blow good money, the next week it will be re-popped?
  10. Thanks for letting me know who built it Curtis!
  11. I do, but took these long ago with low resolution digital camera.
  12. Looks more like an investment to me! I'm glad that I got all the super-detail parts for the 911 GT1 when I did.
  13. Tempted to get this kit. Going to lurk. Love the color!
  14. Ok, I'll bite. Arizona DPS Viper with the Copperhead engine package. I scratch-built all the cop parts, and Chimneyville printed a decal sheet based on pictures I took, noticed recently no longer available.
  15. I have a secret love affair with Jeeps, especially after renting them in Ouray, CO, and Moab, UT. The aftermarket parts are a cornucopia for scratch-building, I would never finish one if I got it. Looks great in the pictures! And it's done, which is important.
  16. I just received this unusual subject, looks really nice. Using my Fakebook post:
  17. Posting only one picture here, in case you don't wish to drop into the rabbit hole of Fakebook.
  18. I tried to speed assemble this, I've seen where guys knock out a model to fill a contest category that is empty, how do they do it? I also wanted to paint something with the zinc chromate primer, and Rustoleum primer instead of the cliche flat black. I'm also spoiled with Tamiya, Fujimi, and now Aoshima quality. Instead of using up my allotment for pictures, showing my Fakebook post:
