  1. I just ordered one each Chevy and Honda. Gonna support what my passion is.
  2. Nice model of a fun subject! And thanks for the WB information that I never realized. Tell me, why the resin model body over one of the AMT or other injection molded kit bodies? I don't like the wheel openings of some of the injection molded Chevelles, but thought it fixable.... Very nice thanks for sharing!
  3. I need some white decal on a sheet, that I can use to cut and apply to a RED paint finish on my Ford GT model. I thought of masking the white primer, but think good COVERAGE white decal paper may be the best solution over red. Anyone have any thoughts on what currently available decal paper may work over red? I do not want to print on it, just cut it to fit the lines down the hood/roof/rear deck of a 2006 style Ford GT.
  4. After a year waiting for more production of these wheels and gravel tires, they finally came in. Now I can finish my Audi Quattro S1 rally car….. kit came with slicks which don’t work on very wet gravel roads….
  5. I got the cold shoulder from the wife...
  6. Awesome! As a rally addict I am watching ?
  7. I had to remove mine and install a manual gate. The micro mark booth could not overcome the backdraft spring, even after I cut the spring to lower the force to open it. So make sure to check for that.
  8. Guys. I won’t get this done this year. I have been interrupted on the build with a vacation with my wife. So I can’t bring this model and all the proper tools along with me. sorry.
  9. Use the plastic spoon for the rear arch….
  10. Welcome James, that is an ambitious undertaking for a third model build! I will be watching and encouraging you on as this looks like a nice car to model. There may be parts from Spotmodel that you can get for hood pins, lights, wheels, etc and are on your side of the ocean. Bring it on, let's see your progress!
  11. Nice! I like the Norm Nelson decals!!! Bobby Unser drove a Chris Vallo purple Road Runner to a win at the Milwaukee Mile back in the day if I remember correctly. That was the first of the "mystery" money men that I can ever remember in racing. Now it seems pretty common to get funny munny in racing these days!
  12. Wow! Didn't think anyone would ever build one of these! The one I have is molded in weird metallic green. This looks great and you did a darn nice job making this model look like good. People seem to dismiss this model, and thanks for bringing your talents to this forum.
  13. I broke my left foot metatarsal about 11 weeks ago. I have been pavement bike riding a bit. Finally got in a mountain bike ride last night (in the dark nonetheless). It was our 20th anniversary of the Tree Farm ride on Tuesday nights. I have been riding with the group about 15 plus years. Felt SOO GOOD to get back out on the trail. Frozen ground, a little dusting of snow, night time, I am happy again.
  14. Good links but stupid me. I meant to say an audi Quattro sport rally car kit.
  15. I have one. Should I bump the price up and sell it?
  16. I am building a polar lights Ford GT right now that has a lot of those things on the inside of surfaces. I am also building a bemax audi that I think is the same as nunu. I agree with your points of the details. That audi also have the VERY wrong wheels and tires in the lot and am having a hard time finding the correct ones. they have a long way to go. But the subject matter is not available elsewhere.
  17. Great attention to details. I have not seen the front and rear ends go so well together, meaning nice and flush to appear "not so thick" like your Chevelle does. Excellent work, thank you for inspiring!
  18. Going all in and setting up tomorrow. Hope the kits are safe overnight and no surprises Sunday morning. At least hope to cover costs and a few bucks more. Will be more Tamiya and "sports car" centered and decided to see if my 1/8 scale Jaguar E Type....
  19. Nice setup and love the placement of the cars on the boxes. Great tutorial on the history of those Mercury model kits, and great builds that do them justice for sure!
  20. Excellent build and colors for what was a really boring car in a really bad time for cars! I love it!
  21. Aren't teachers providing a good amount of child abuse with the in class curriculum er, I mean, agenda?
  22. Cool build. It was so good to see Jones get a win this year, and earn it at that! After yesterdy, I a gonna get me one of these kits and build a Ross Chastain version!
