  1. I use the View New Content and will then select anything that seems interesting, but I routinely ignore Big Rigs, Nascar, Large Scale just from a lack of interest.
  2. That goes double for me. It its stock, it has no originality, nothing artistic beyond the original design. Why would I want to build someone else's design?
  3. Some marvelous engineering going on there. Fantastic.
  4. Frankly since the first time I used BMF, there has been no other option. Period. It takes practice but the results are soooo well worth it. Get a scrap body, something from the 50's and just practice with no stress.
  5. Can you be more specific? Are you needing advice on what type of paint, how to paint, what to paint?
  6. Yeah, like I would want a miniature of a chubby guy with a thinning hairline.
  7. Why not use styrene stock for the chassis instead of wood, or better yet, get a pro-street chassis from another kit and modify it to fit?
  8. Wow. That's just stunning.
  9. That's just brilliant! Fantastic work. You must have found an older kit with red tail lenses. The last few of these kits I've seen have the lenses molded into thr bezels.
  10. My lone Mustang build is the movie car from the b-grade sci-fi flick, Cherry 2000, starring Melanie Griffith. I have one more Stang in the works, a '65 2+2 pro-tourer.
  11. Great color and overall look. Well done.
  12. Nope. None. If I'm not going to build a kit, it's sold or traded away to someone who will appreciate it. I don't have the space to keep stuff like that.
  13. I meant the actual model parts. Not the box top. We just have to verify it's an unstarted model.
  14. Man, that has such a wonderful authentic look. Well done.
  15. Post up a pic of the unstarted kit or whatever pile 'o parts your starting from and then get busy.
  16. Is the dogs? You wacky Aussies.
  17. Thanks very much. She was three years in the completion and will see her first competition on May 3rd. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
  18. It's just plastic, break it apart, glue it together.
  19. Thanks guys.
  20. I love it when someone new shows up and brings some killer work. Awesome!
  21. That's some real good advise. Learn the basics of clean building. Everything else will come along in its own time.
  22. The purple stuff will attack the primer. Sand down to it on major body areas and let the lye do it's work on the primer. The paint will just slide off like a snake skin. It will take a few days and repeated help with an old toothbrush is recommended.
  23. Guys, I'm finishing up an older project and have a new one that I'm dying to start. I think it would make an excellent Cannonballer. So scratch the '70 Cuda that you have listed for me and stay tuned for more info.
  24. Thanks Virgil, I'm really happy with how it turned out.
