  1. I had had 3DScaleparts do a lot of work for my builds . He does top notch work
  2. I built this one a few years back from a gluebomb
  3. Me too . I’d buy several. As it is though, the ford truck kits don’t excite me enough to pry open my wallet....
  4. It was a terrible kit , as were most of those boyds offerings , both the quickbuilder and full kits were blocky and off scale .
  5. Home stretch ! 72 hour build !!! License plates and speedway decals will wrap this one up !
  6. This is a mostly box stock build . No super detailing or tons of aftermarket. Wrapped up the engine last morning.
  7. I sat the other builds aside when this kit came out , I love big american 4 door cars . Kandy orange and red over silver . Revell Monte Carlo wheels and tires . Just mocked up for now , have to build and detail the engine and chassis
  8. I guess I don’t see where that super rough casting makes it better . Looks like a mustang to me .
  9. These coupled with the stock bench is a home run . I ordered my decals last night .
  10. Those are the stories that make the hobby interesting..... I’d love to hear it .....
  11. You are correct . And all had those god awful die cast wheels included . I have a couple of them on the shelf still.
  12. Those a were all produced at the same time for testors , so one would assume they are out there and useable .
  13. Oh man, what I would give for a few of those
  14. I bought an original last year just for the motorcycle ..... I feel cheated
  15. I had a batch of decals made years ago . This is a scaled down decal of a real mural that I’ve always loved , as I’m a car painter by trade . It’s been on that trunk lid for at least 10 years now .
  16. Been watching those original parts on the bay ..... hoping to score them ....
  17. Applied foil before the base coat , now that the candy is on, I used some 400 grit to expose the foil below .
  18. Just pulled this out again , started it years ago . It somehow survived a few moves , and dodged the angry GF . Got to find a new taillight panel and lights , but here we go ....
  19. For what I know AMT can make , this was a let down kit . Soft details ,Poor fitment and just overall not a great build .
  20. Tamiya has done a full run of 1/24 scooters . They were bonus parts to car kits, and available as a set of 4 . They also did a run of 1/12 scooters .... ask me how I know ??? it’s an obsession ....
  21. 3DScaleparts is AMAZING ! I love dealing with mike . He’s doing a one off set of wheels for my 1:1 replica currently , also did the wheels and other parts on my Cadillac build .
