I have the 1985 and 1998 versions Revell 57. The HOT ROD three Chevy Classics and the one with the pale pink 1:1 box art. Every time I open the box and see all those opening doors, it scares me and the lid goes back on.

Way cool! I love what you have done.

Copying and Printing License Plates
Bills72sj replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I used the ACME site and printed them on decal paper. I then applied them to real aluminum. Just like the real thing but not embossed. -
That is absolutely GORGEOUS!. I would be proud to put it in my display case

3D printed parts issue ?
Bills72sj replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I have two 4 post lifts that were 3D printed in a medium blue material. If I leave them in the up position, I start to get some sag and splaying of the legs. Left down, they do ok. I think is basically the rigidness of the base material. I have painted them but I do not think it changes anything. For the price I paid, I am still happy for what they are. -

Bills72sj replied to RandyB.'s topic in Model Cars
Very nice Buick. The rallys work well with it. I ran with some rally wheels with my 1st Grand Prix for awhile. -
Stalled 1967 Mustang GT coming back in the queue.
Bills72sj replied to Bills72sj's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Made some progress the last few days. Created and printed some custom decals for the race car's name. I also mixed in some old contingency decals I found in my decal box. My "427 Cammer" decals got messed up so I will have to print them and try again. -

I built and finished a diorama for the express purpose of photographing models. It works great outdoors. In my display case it needs better lighting.

Not to be contrary for the sake of being contrary, I foil THEN clear coat. My goal is to have the foil STAY down and not come loose when handling the model. I have not noticed any loss of shine.

Very nice build. -
The Ford race car set definitely. The Plated tanker if I did not already have one. If I collected Die-cast then the Mustang and Charger for sure.

*Model Car Preference*
Bills72sj replied to Zippi's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I like American iron '53 to '78. Primarily Muscle cars with contrasting graphics. I like Big Rigs that can carry cars too. -
Nice stance. I vote for keeping the knockoffs

Pretty. I like it.

69 Ford Ranger
Bills72sj replied to bill lanfear's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very nicely done. I like the red Cherry Bomb mufflers. I do that on all my builds. Adds a splash of color to the bottom. -
Very nice example.

Stalled 1967 Mustang GT coming back in the queue.
Bills72sj replied to Bills72sj's topic in WIP: Model Cars
After setting it aside for 3 months, I finally got the motivation to get back to this one. I was trying to hunt down some shift linkage for my Boss 429 build and opened the box for this one. Once in hand, I applied some BMF and some Molotow and moved it to the "in progress" shelf. -
Very nice work. I have one in progress that has stalled due to paint failure. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/155548-1967-shelby-gt-350-dark-blue/
