    Agreed. The front wheels are right under the driver. Weird. Go for it. Let us know what you find out.

    Some great work going on here. I'm diggin' it.
  3. Jantrix
    Thanks. I tried a search but didn't get anything.

    This is just amazing work. Are those tuck&roll panels from a sheet or individual half round stock glued one at a time?

    I'm going to start a custom truck here soon and I thought it would be great to have an old school bobber motorcycle in the bed. Anything available? I know there was an Revell parts pack cycle. Is it any good? What about resin?

    I'm not going to be able to make this one. I'll catch you next time Al.

    Just finished a trade with Ron Lambert, aka am73grand. It went down very well. I'd happily trade with him again in the future.

    Here's something the wife spotted a few days ago and drove me past yesterday so that I could identify it. It definitely looks like a '63 or '71 Whatsitwhosit or perhaps a '53 Thingamajob.

    17's and 18's I would be interested in. No bigger than that.
  10. Jantrix
    That goes for me too. I dig it.

    Like Ray said most of the BAD ones are in a landfill or something. But I do have this one from my late teens. I'd just discovered the model mags and had realized what the big boys were doing as far as detailing. So this was my first attempt at major modifications and detailing. You might look at the first two and say, "Oh that's not too bad." Then look at the third.

    I am so looking forward to this. I'm gonna kit bash it with the Revell rpu.
  13. Jantrix
    True, but only for old kits that have gone the way of the Dodo.
  14. Jantrix
    Well I guess the elephant in the room is the question, "Is your work good enough that people would pay for it?" If it is, you might make a few bucks. If it isn't, then no matter how much money you have in the build, it's just a used model kit.

    It's amazing what people will care about sometimes. With the exception of the Community Build section, I NEVER go to any other section. I use the "View New Content" button and then I click on what interests me.

    Welcome to the CBP Brandon. I really like your project.
  17. Jantrix
    Everything above the "STOVE BOLT SIX" decal is new. The rest was on my old reissue. They new decals look great though.
  18. Jantrix
    I gotta agree. Yes, I know they are reliable, and cheap, and parts are available, and get the job done. But man, they are just so dull and unimaginative.
  19. Jantrix
    No. Not for me. After 12-14 hour days, I just want to see the inside of my eyelids.
  20. Jantrix
    Same here. I got sent to CA. to bail out a subcontracting company behind on their delivery dates. No work for me until late in the month.
  21. Jantrix
    I voted. Still disappointed to not see an Aussie Ford Falcon XB. Nice to see some Studes on the list though.
  22. Jantrix
    Oh very nice. Where did you get the purple primer? Or is that a violet paint that's been dull-coated?
  23. Jantrix
    Hows the body-line detail on the hood? That's what was bad on my older kit. If that's been fixed, I'm gonna have to buy another.
  24. Jantrix
    The GTO is a very good, if simple kit. A little detailing goes a long way. The only issue I had, was the rear fenders curved in too much, which pulled the chassis deeper into the back of the body. Some cardboard folded accordion style in between the chassis and the underside of the trunk fixed it nicely.
  25. Jantrix
    Yes, the paint must gas out for a few days before clear. Reasons to clear. 1. If you ever want to go for that polished shine. You want to polish the clear coat, not the color coat. 2. Protect decals as the model ages. Decals will get old eventually and perhaps flake off. Sealing them under clear is forever.
