  1. I gotta say, those are the most impressive parts I've ever seen injection molded.
  2. Glad to see this one back on the bench. Looking forward to it.
  3. But more than likely it was bought because Dear Old Dad had one just like that. Nostalgia is a powerful thing. Especially when it comes to family.
  4. Truly amazing. Very impressive.
  5. Although I don't understand the stretched and cambered wheels, the work is quite excellent.
  6. Wayne I always look forward to your models. You do drag subjects better than most. This one is a another excellent example. Great work.
  7. That looks like a heck of a lot of fun. Well done. The Doc used to be a fixture around here but reasons unknown (to me anyway), he's stopped posting a couple years ago. Too bad, I always enjoyed his posts.
  8. Understood. I've been reading up as this conversation has gone on.
  9. Excellent points.
  10. But what is still legally theirs? In 2000, Okey Spaulding bought Jo-han. Created Johan Models LLC, a new company. Does he own the intellectual rights to old kits, from molds he's never owned? Once he passes, who owns what? Lots of questions and would the legals fees alone, exlipse what could be gained financially?
  11. Wow this is going to be an expensive paint job. Lets see. 200,00AU to USD is $153,394. $153,395 times 1/25 is $6,135. We want to see every penny of that John. https://www.4wheelsnews.com/sema-show/sema-preview-one-off-cadillac-coupe-de-ville-wild-cad-11059.html
  12. I hope, thanks to 3D printing, maybe someday someone will do some scans of an old kit and reverse engineer them. As 3Dprinting evolves, it seems like it would be a no brainer. Most of my childhood involved Johan, because the looked so good, but were generally simple to assemble. I'd love to have them back.
  13. I'm gonna give this a try here, very soon. Has anyone else tried it yet? This roadster is in the planning stages.
  14. Outstanding work.
  15. Revell '29 Model A pick up. Wheels, trim rings, center caps all nicely done.
  16. Terrific work. I never tire of seeing what madness you come up with.
  17. For this reason, I recommend the Revell '32 Sedan. It comes with two engines and the means to mount them both. The flathead (a very nice one) and a Ford 302. This way you have the engine you need and parts to still build a complete model. No extras, not leftovers.
  18. Anyone tried these yet? My son uses them to define the panel lines on his Gundams. I keep meaning to buy one, but the mind alas, is slippery when I get to a hobby store.
  19. The jig is up fellas, he's on to us. On topic. Oh yes. Very much so. Pretty much every time I try to combine decals with clear.
  20. Wow. That's some terrific work. Also display bases seems to be popular there more-so than here in the states.
  21. Disk brakes. There are lots of them made, but very few look good. Good 1/24 engines. I always seem to end up with 1/24 kits, but very few have good engines. Wide whites and steelies.
  22. Looking good. Looking forward to more.
