I know my paintjob sucks, but no comments at all?

Because I did wanted to know if the paint was bad, I did the same paintjob on a new body; It went on just smooth Same cans! Completely different result

A new finished project, All went quite well, although the fit isn't the best, it was workable. The idea was to make a roundie-round with Tang sponsorship. I am not very familiar with NASCAR, so I just went a little bit my own way. But when I wanted to finish the paintjob with clear, things went horribly wrong. The paint wrinkled quite a lot, which was really weird. I used the same paints as usual and no problems at all! So quite frustrated, as this was a one-off paint/decal job, which I could not redo. So I ended up sanding down the clear, redo it, sanding, redo, sanding and finalized it, since there was no hope at being satisfied. The plastic even had crazed, which you can see in the pictures. So I decided to finish it, and learn from it. What I had to learn I don't know, but I do learned it

Ford really don't continue to make a model that is a icon but sells quite poor. Especially in the present situation. However, the Mustang is selling beyond expectation and there is just no reason to stop production as it is one of the few models within their range that actually makes some money. But for the 2010 they are thinking of downsizing the engines. Smaller V6 engines with or without turbo's are mentioned.

I hope so Hear me out; where I used to be a F1 as European, the competition was great, races were exciting, drivers had a personality. But now, the drivers are people with PS2 skills, they control the car, rather than drive it. But what irritates me most is that Bernie controls basically everything, up to when and where everyone can poop. I seriously would hope that F1 died rather soon, and be succeeded by a new all-star racing league, controlled by people who love the sport and have gas in their blood rather than dollarsigns in their eyes.

I know I will sound very wild, but; How about old-skool sanding?

uh oh, time to figure out why my e-mail doesn't work. I haven't received anything

A new project, meant to be a quickbuild. I lost motivation for the Ferrari, Deuce and the 3 Christine's. Mostly because of the poor result of my GTO. This build will be mostly because to find out what has caused the bad paint result of the GTO. Therefore I will use the same paints once again and see if I can locate and terminate the problem. This model is from the Czech manufacturer Smer, and is 1/28 and really simple (snapper). So I do not have to worry about detail in transmission and engine, just a nice paint-job and some modifications in the interior.

Well, not that Awesome haha But it is do-able. If you want to live under sea-level and between cows and walk on wooden shoes, eat cheese all day long Who is Nader?

It does not really seems the way to handle things by 'threatning' of leaving the website, just use the help-functions and READ! Where I was used to PhPBB completely, this site was completely different for me. However, with just a healthy set of brains and read through the different topics, I managed to navigate quite well and is a piece of cake. And frankly, I never seen somebody not being able to wander around here. But given the fact that you are only here if people give you 'this board'-101, than I would suggest you set your priority's right.

I am starting on building the '32 Ford from Revell. However I would like to change several things, like a charger on the engine or maybe a body conversion. Add detail, change wheels and that stuff. But I can hardly find anything, do you guys have any tips or parts for me?

I see a Corvair from Oregon? yellow lights for anti-blinding the people driving towards you? ( that's what the French did in the 60's, 70's, and 90's )

Yeah, As in The Netherlands the car-production is not that big, we have a plant that makes Mitsubishi's (NedCar), which made Vovlo's in the beginning. Then we have ofcourse Donkervoort We have Carver; We have Burton; And then ofcourse Spyker;

Spyker C8 Spyder

Again, we Europeans don't really use those years, so somewhere between '83 and '91. But it seems to look like a late 80's one, '89 ? Volkswagen Golf/Rabbit Mk. II

Gregg, Is there more news about the E-version of MCM yet?

Because Fiat is still intwined with Ferrari, and see here the proof of the real existence of this car, ( this is the duplicate brother in black)

Real, Based upon the exhausts, back of seats and face-plate of dials.

I like the truck, but it just misses the last finishing touches, like doorhandles and (window)trims. Would make a real nice car with the right colours put on.

In addition; Neither do I consider a kit rare, I buy kits for building, not for their value. I would be as much pleased with a re-issue as the original Just wondered if I could sell this kit maybe and buy a couple of other kits for it.

Hi guys, Last year, somebody handed me a box over with all sorts of muscle car kits from the early eighties, mostly MPC and Monogram. As I am not looking into selling them, but building them, I do however have one question; Between those kits I have a 1979 MPC kit still shrinkwrapped of the General Lee '69 Charger. Is this kit worth extra money? Should I take care of it? As I mentioned, I am not looking for selling, but if it is worth a lot, I might consider and invest the money on other kits But no, this topic is not a covered up ad, I genuinly have no idea of the value of this kit.

Tough there shouldn't have been a side airscoop on the sides, IMHO

I LOVE it! This is that new (re)tooled kit right? Seems I need to must have one some day Question; Are you going to use the steelies for another project or might I be so blunt and ask is you would be so kind to swap them for something?

It looks italian, specific Fiat to me
