  1. Please forgive my ignorance here, but what exactly is a promo? I gather it is some kind of early-run model with limited parts and details. Did they come pre-assembled or were they kits? How do I know when I see one?
  2. Wow, You made it look like they belong together.
  3. There! I fixed it! The older bottles are just fine.
  4. Truly outstanding work on this! You have far, far ,far more patience than I do.
  5. Nice weathering job. I bet about 74.14% of folks here know what that thing on the door is!
  6. Sorry, this is a better pic. The nozzle is plastic and although it is separate from the body, it will not screw off. I have given it a fairly decent twist with pliers, and it did not budge. I was thinking of heating a pin red hot and melting a hole, but I do not want to have it burst into a ball of flames in my hands!
  7. I have stuck a needle down inside the nozzle and I hit a blockage or something?? I cannot seem to puncture it so It is not a foil seal... yet when I squeeze the bottle nothing wants to come out. After shaking it and poking at it, I can get a very little bit to come out. Is this thing defective or is there something that I just don't get? Edit: I have removed the cap, and the rest is a one piece molded bottle that I can see. I would drill a hole clean into the reservoir, but I don't want to enlarge the hole and all my small drill bits are not long enough.
  8. OP= Original poster (not specifically model related but...)
  9. Same with "cast iron" exhaust manifolds, I leave the mould lines on them.
  10. Nice! I like it!
  11. Wow, beautiful wiring job on that engine! That's a nifty little trick with the tube and sculpey clay. I will have to try that one. The interior is fabulous also!
  12. I just stumbled across this thread during a search and all I can say is WOW! You are taking detailing to a whole 'nother level.
  13. I agree, those paint jobs are immaculate!
  14. Wow! That is really top notch! I love the "been there" stickers in the back window.
  15. And I also picked up a '70-1/2 Camaro. Hey, if Michaels is going to keep sending me 50% or 55% off coupons, I'm going to eventually buy all they have. Woo Hoo! The 20,000th reply.
  16. I wound up exchanging the 1/24th scale '66 Shelby for this 1/25th scale '67 Shelby. This Mustang may have to be my first black paint job I attempt?
  17. That's exactly what I do. Type in what I want to look at and click on images. It's amazing what comes up sometimes that is totally unrelated??
  18. Beautiful restoration. I like the new shoes!
  19. Interesting mods. I'm not quite sure where you're going with this yet, but carry on! Salt flats racer maybe???
  20. Well I am starting on this one slowly. As folks on here say, it is a fairly nice kit. It will be mostly stock appearance with some detailing. at least that is the plan at the outset. The first issue I come across is the tail lights. They are quite large and very thick. Out of scale parts bother me unless it is a fantasy type build. The problem with these is: I can only reduce the thickness a certain amount before I cut into the recess... so I may have to drill out the recess in the body so that I can inset them somewhat. If anybody has corrected these somehow, please post up or PM me. Thanks Greg.
  21. A '56 Nomad, a 55 Chevy convertible, and a '66 mustang
  22. Very Nice! Your brass looks pretty good, it just hasn't been polished lately.
  23. This is looking fabulous so far! Can't wait to see the rest of it.
