I just painted the valleys and cleaned up a bit with a Q-tip if needed. I have also used real springs.

Nice job, and good eye for deciding what goes together nicely!?

Nicely done!?

Nice job on this one! I agree it is a wonderful little kit.?

WOW! Absolutely outstanding talent…and talk about patience!

I use this stuff for plug wires. I have some HDMI and old USB cables that I use for battery cables. That is about as far into wiring as I want to get.

I made some styrene sheaths for our knives in the RV and a fridge door holder. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/162846-other-styrene-projects/?tab=comments#comment-2431485

I thought I got these from Olsen Bros. but I don’t see them on their website. Dang, my memory is getting bad!? Maybe someone will know who has them?

You can send that to me if you want. That was my very first car when I was 16. It had a straight 6 and auto. I paid $400 bucks for it.?

Stalled projects.? I bought a few models today at a flea market. So I plugged this site and the model into google to get some ideas brewing. I found some absolutely fantastic custom and kit bashing builds going on. I just get interested and excited with it to find the thread just stops, three, five, ten or more years ago.? I don’t know if I should dredge up a ten year old thread to see if anything ever became of it? I have a few kits myself that I’ve started and put aside, and if I had kept up with this hobby since I was a kid I would very likely have a stack of them.

There’s a bunch of threads on it. Type this into google: site:modelcarsmag.com tuck and roll

Picked these up at a local flea market today. The seller said they were all complete kits. The ‘37 Ford pickup has been partially built and there are no instructions so I will have to see if I can find them online to be sure.

I am really liking that trailer!?

Great movie! I have it on DVD. Good luck with the project!

Sweet, that turned out real nice!?

For close fitting styrene to styrene joints I use Tamiya extra thin quick setting. Poorly fitting joints get epoxy or thick superglue.

Just watched “Jolt” with Kate Beckinsale on Amazon. Wow, it may be one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! I have seen sci-fi movies with aliens that are more believable. There is one point where she is tossing newborn babies at the cop in order to get away.???

I got mine from Slaters. The HO is closest in scale spacing wise, but the raised “diamonds” are too fat. The #449 (1:100) looks much better in my opinion. And FYI, their 1:25 designation is NOT 1/25. https://slatersplastikard.com/assets/pdfs/EmbossedFlyer.pdf

I have bought very little from e-bay and never sold anything. What is to prevent someone with a rare kit from buying it themselves (or have an accomplice buy it) for stupid money in order to drive up the price for the next time they list it? Obviously it would have to be rare and would not work with a relatively common kit.

Looking much better Steve! My parents had one just like it that was a metallic brown color. ?

I have never ordered from them, but BNL lists some differentials and other drivetrain parts. http://www.b-n-lresins.freewebspace.com/photo3_31.html According to this thread they are open again as of April. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/158757-b-n-l-resins-still-viable/

Even if there is no pressure left in it at all… you can shake it up well, puncture it and pour out the contents to use in an airbrush. Also works for cans that are hopelessly plugged (caution required)! Edit: Puncturing any can should be done above the fluid level and very carefully to allow all pressure to escape before further opening of the can.

Beautiful! Super nice clean build.?
