  1. It's cool.. I just want one of those trailers though..
  2. Heel yeah, another W, Round2 always bringing the coolest stuff to market for us, I'll buy 1 for sure!
  3. That car is excellent! They say it's had a rebuilt drivetrain, runs and drives, and is currently listed for sale for $11,000 bones..
  4. Buy one and find out! That's what I did.. And, it's a great kit btw..
  5. Interesting, I never knew that's how they did it.. Cool, cool build!
  6. It's just a little rain, jeez louise!! Those dudes are weird.. In 2017, I found and purchased a real deal, rust free, complete, numbers matching 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 still wearing its slightly faded original Cranberry Red w/ black stripes, black buckets & console, 4-speed, 4.10:1 14-bolt rear, jacked up with air shocks in the back, mandatory Centerline trashcan lid wheels, and bright yellow traction bars.. It was the kind early 80s hot rod that everybody drove back then from what I gathered.. I dunno, I wasn't born yet.. And, what I paid for it was the kind of deal that would make ALL of YOU just sick lol! Those rain worrying kinds of dudes would lose sleep over the fact that I drove that car daily for the next 3 years, and I drove it HARD, and EVERYWHERE, in spite of the average of 6 mpg, adding some 20,000 miles to the 44,000 original miles that it had on it when I bought it.. Rain, shine, sleet, snow, mud, didn't matter! I even scored some hail dents during the 2018 tornado season way out in Iowa.. And again in 2019 going after what would later be known as the Dayton, Ohio Memorial Day EF4 tornado.. They're only cars, COOL cars, but, just cars.. My LS6, 1-of-4,475 built, went to its new owner in 2020, and has since been obsessively OVER-restored, and is now never driven, and is the kind of concours show car that literally gets pushed from the trailer, to the show field, and back again.. Anyway, my Canadian friend, THANK YOU for posting your pics from that Canada Day show! That Fargo van is excellent, and the obvious star of the show is that rare and beautiful 1960 Plymouth Fury convertible, but I can't help but dig that gray square body Chevy truck with the front mounted spare tire the most!
  7. Need a pair of 1/16 scale license plates, I'll trade ya somethin for em, PM me! Going on a '78 25th Anniversary Corvette.. USA-1 plates would be cool.. Ohio plates would be amazing.. 25th Anniversary dealer showroom plates would be unbelievable.. BUT, anything will do! Thanks for lookin!
  8. I never met the fella in person, however, we did business over the years many times, and he was always 100% totally honest, prompt with deliveries, and once I had established myself as a repeat customer, buying a dozen or more cars each time, he was always generous with discounted prices, and throwing in some extras here and there.. Fella seemed to really dig what he did, which is all any of us can ask for really, and was quite interested in the last project of mine that we had discussed, when I bought some bakers dozen AMT '57 Chryslers in one order, because I was set on building one in every factory color that Chrysler painted em, a series which I'm still doin btw.. Anyway, about a month ago, I had sent him correspondence again, and was wanting to place another pile of kits order with him, when I was informed a couple days later that he had died.. Anytime one of the good fellas goes on across the veil, the world dims some.. BUT, it seems as though, that before his trip across the way, Steve had handed the controls over to a fella called Kyle.. Kyle carried right on in the same manner as Steve had, took my order, made sure everything was 100%, and shipped it out to me SO fast, that it had arrived to my farm a full THREE days before HE even had the money order I sent to him!! Seems to be a good fella too! That said, R.I.P. to a Real One!
  9. I usually stay far away from these kinds of topics.. But, eh, you never know who's listening.. And, I don't care if the original tooling has been scrapped, strapped to Voyager I, or is trapped in another dimension, and therefore will never be etc, etc, etc.. In a world inhabited by motivated people with access to 3d scanners and printers, ANYTHING is possible.. AMT '58 Bonneville AMT '58 Ford AMT '59 Buick AMT '59 Ford AMT '67 Camaro Indy Pace Car AMT '68 Torino GT Indy Pace Car MPC '79 Mustang Indy Pace Car MPC '80 Trans Am Indy Pace Car MPC '82 Camaro Indy Pace Car AND, this next little bit is probably off-topic, if you hate that, stop reading.. If Round2 could please fix the inaccuracies in the '58 Plymouth, turn it into a proper Fury, or make a '57 Belvedere or Fury version of it, I will personally buy 2 cases of them, thank you!
  10. I know that upon seeing that killer box art on that upcoming releases poster, I got all jittery! HOW DAM COOL IS THAT THING?!? Looks to be yet another W for Round2..
  11. Box art shows the paint scheme of the Indy Fiero Pace Car, minus the lettering.. That'd be swell to see a Pace Car version sometime, OR maybe, just maybe, lettering decals included in this un.. In any event, I see myself gettin hold of two of these kits.. Hope Revell continues bringin stuff like this back!
  12. Lookit, I'll throw my hat in the ring, I'd trade a whole car kit just to get hold of the grille, grille shell, hood, and hood sides of a '35 Ford car in resin so that I can finally do a build of the 1935 Indy Pace Car.. When you do print em, please PM me, or maybe make a fresh topic of it, that'd be rad man, real rad.. Thanks, later!
  13. The some excuse or another thing is incorrect.. The first 1/25 scale prototype of the Powell, as well as a ludicrously cool 1/18 scale build of it, were both stolen at said show.. Thus causing a huge, and I think, obvious, set-back in production as neither turned up, and resulting in the entire project having to be started over from scratch.. It's the kind of thing that kills projects in the making, and it's pretty cool that we're able to get it now at all.. I don't understand the mindset of the thief, just, in general, but also, after stealing it, you couldn't ever show it to anyone or whatever, because those that know things would instantly know where it came from.. Anyway, doesn't matter what I think really, other than, YO, this thing is undeniably cool, and yall should get hold of one if you can!
  14. I am cool with it! What kit DOESN'T require sandpaper an razor blades an fitting? I'm a builder, those things have never bothered me much.. Also, the Powell that is currently available, in small batches, is essentially a pre-production prototype, so, I'd always assume that a kit of that description would still be in need of refinement here an there.. It's still a kit of an obscure American vehicle, that NOBODY else has, nor even thought of, and THAT makes it really, really, really cool! Outside of the box thinking, and I hope Okeys got a hundred more unique kit subjects comin down the line for us.. ALSO, that AMC AMX kit of yours is pretty rad!
  15. Godspeed Okey Spaulding!! You're a G-dam LEGEND! Keep on keepin on.. The Powell pickup is EXCELLENT you guys, you really ought to get hold of one if you can.. Also, the dude has ALWAYS been 100% on the level with me.. All of you haters are just, honestly, you're just sad.. Buy a Powell!
  16. You ain't wrong about em bein.. not great.. ever since they were bought out.. BUT, I feel like I should tell you about what happened to me when I got hold of a can of trash paint from em.. Went to spray a Moebius '65 Plymouth in some off-white color, paint came out of the nozzle full of dried up chunks of paint mixed with runny awful paint, then stopped entirely, and it WAS a brand new can too.. Anyway, called customer service and asked em what the hell was happening with my paint, and what was they gonna do about it.. They sent me a free replacement ENTIRE CASE of spray cans of that color, as well as a big bag of 50 or so new nozzles, FOR FREE, and I had it at my door in TWO DAYS.. Replacement paint went on like velvet.. SO, their customer service is 100% on-point.. Overall, not great, but far from terrible..
  17. Ayy, right on! PM me the parts or decals or whatnot that yer after, and we'll see if a trade can be sorted out.. Thanks!
  18. Thanks for the info, that thing has been around for a long time, it'd be cool if the issued it with all of the original parts from the 1960s tooling
  19. Awesome, let me know if you find anything, thanks!
