  1. Fonzie jumped over the shark on water skis. He jumped over a bunch of garbage cans on his motorcycle...although I think that was a triumph. Still want to see the diorama though...😁
  2. That awesome. I love the attachment points. Thanks for posting this.
  3. Don't know of a kit that actually has the door panels. Although I haven't looked for one either. Might be able to scratch build some. The seem to be generally minimalistic.
  4. Wow, those bring me back. Remember watching the races every year on Lake Washington. Gonna have to run down some piston boat kits, if i can find any.
  5. Pretty sure you have your answer, just wanted to say that I am really liking the red exhaust. Gonna have to start painting my exhaust red. 😁
  6. On the don't paint it right away topic, I agree with everything said, but.... I will sometimes put a light coat of primer on just so that when I test fit I can see where the friction points are and know where I need to shave off a little here or there.
  7. Got my color on. Went with Pearl white. Still needs clear but it's progress.
  8. Great job! I used to build a lot of 1/35 but it started taking up too much space so when I do armor now it's 1/72. Definitely a challenge
  9. Cool! How did you do it?
  10. OOOOOhhhhhh, I'm gonna have to get that!! Have had that kit sitting in the stash for a while.
  11. Couldn't agree more..although I tend to go overboard sometimes.
  12. Too cold to paint still so I guess it's time to accessorize the interior a little.
  13. I second the Ranchero. In particular the mid to late 70's variety. Also a 1968 Toronado.
  14. I liked the back window the way it was. 😂 As far as the turbos go, They look cool. I go with creative. My knowledge of turbo history is pretty limited. Also pretty sure there are no inspectors for the cannonball.
  15. When you say 2X do you mean 2K clear or are you talking about that rattle can rustoleum 2X?
  16. I resemble that remark. Had to repaint a closet door because of it.
  17. Might mean solder balls. small spheres of solder used for circuit boards and such I think.
  18. This is totally just my opinion and nothing more. It does look in scale. It looks a little too shiny at least for that application. I could definitely see in under the hood, on either side of the firewall, or in the engine bay, or even as a headliner. It seems a little much for the entire floor. Just my thoughts. Floor mats would definitely break it up some.
  19. Thank you. I think I enjoy doing interiors more than overall bodies. They sure are. Worked pretty well overall. Better than fighting with the PE parts.
  20. Thank you. I already gave up on the fuel lines. HA! I avoid ship models of any kind for that exact reason. I have a wooden sailing ship kit around here somewhere that never made it past basic hull assembly.
  21. It took every bit of patience I could muster but I finally got the wiring done. Now to determine if I want to punish myself even more and do fuel lines..........
