  1. WAY cool all around. Well done!
  2. I vaguely remember building a kit when I was a kid that had real springs in it. I'm sure it succumbed to fireworks not to long after. Here is a built that I still have.
  3. Find some CAT 5 or 6 data cable. One of the strands wrapped around a hat pin should come out pretty close.
  4. Nice work. I did a mini tub on my 67 Mustang GT. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/155547-stalled-1967-mustang-gt-coming-back-in-the-queue/
  5. Way cool racer.
  6. That is a very cool technique for comparison! I am building two twin semi rigs with subtle differences. I would really like to try to duplicate your efforts when they are complete.
  7. Well done and with period correct stance too.
  8. That is pretty cool. The Edsel being an "orphan" is pretty rare. You paint scheme makes me think that it would also look pretty in an "orange creamsicle" version.
  9. Steve, I have been doing my research here on the forum and on youtube to figure out what airbrush to get. I was leaning towards the iwata hp-cs but after seeing that YOU use a PS-290, I went and ordered one last night.
  10. Nice build. I see what you mean about the tires. Your "parking lot" back drop is pretty cool too. Though most cars would tend to be parked facing the building.
  11. SWEET! The outdoor pic looks like a real 1:1. The interior carpet turned out very realistic.
  12. I am interested on how your methodology of vinyl works out.
  13. That is an excellent, excellent result. With the right background and photography most people would believe it is a 1:1. Very impressive. On a separate subject. What airbrush did you use for the body?
  14. Nice build. My mom had a couple of green pintos when I was a kid.
  15. Nice project. Following.
  16. I am a fan too. I haven't started a thread yet but I am turning a Johan 75 Promo into a 74 Hurst Olds. A lot of little mods are required.
  17. That really good. Nice interior. I finished a silver 67 Drag car late last year.
  18. That is a very stunning color in day light.
  19. Snake, yes, I am inspired by what you do. The results you get for the effort involved is very efficient. I have a couple of old builds that will get some Snake-Fu someday.
  20. That is SWEET!!!! I wish it was mine!
  21. The size of the decals make it an ambitious task for 1/25. Two suggestions. Add another coat of Testors 9200 decal bonder (AFTER you have done test on unused portions of the decal sheet). 2nd, add a drop of liquid dish soap to your lukewarm decal water. It will let you move them quite awhile for perfect alignment before they set.
  22. A working sliding door? I would have never imagined...
  23. I had one of these in grade school. My brother and I would play demolition derby with our glue bomb builts. My unpainted 56 won many battles because it was glued unpainted.
  24. Thank you Mike.? I spent this evening dealing with the base of the windshield not reaching the resin cowl.
  25. Very nice. I like all the little detail touches.
