  1. A while ago I acquired some of these flashlight/laser pointers with a chrome steel flex stalk that I think would be ideal for Deusy and Mercedes exhaust but don't have a comparison. The flex stalk is 4mm diameter 7cm long (.157 in. x 3" ) would they work on this car?
  2. Great build Lobo, it is definitely reminiscent of the 60/70s kit cars. My friend had a dune buggy with an adapted Corvair engine in it (on it?) that would make a great kit car option.
  3. Great scenic work gives your beautiful work and added realism. Thanks for the update.
  4. Scrape it all into a box and sort it out next year!
  5. I just went to their page and did not see an notices... curiouser and curiouser...
  6. So, how do you get air into the intake plenum?
  7. Munchkin representing the Fisher Body Guild was left on the cutting room floor during the editing of Wizard of OZ.
  8. I just happened across it on TCM a couple of days ago so it may be on a streaming channel. Typical late 50s comedy but quite a bit of scenes with the car in action.
  9. I just saw the Futura featured in a 1959 Glen ford Debby Reynolds movie "It Started With a Kiss". Painted red but you get to seee the bubble top and other trick parts in action as they tour Spain in the car.
  10. You can't get a good old Sears catalog anymore so what are you going to do when you run out of toilet paper?
  11. Though it is a key part of flushing the toilet!
  12. Fantastic paint weathering. but the license plate is way to clean and neat.
  13. One of the 3D file suppliers who sold through Shapeways was listed as TDR. mentioned often in this forum. my net search doesn't show a web site for them. They had a wide variety of products in multiple scales.
  14. Why I remember back in the day's of my youth, 50s/60s, when there weren't hobby shops per say, least wise in So Cal, but there were toy stores and the Five & Dime stores that were my source for model cars and paint, and within walking distance from home. There was a train shop halfway across town but they didn't sell other models just HO stuff. So that may be where the association with toys come from. It's tradition.
  15. I give it 2 months before the fruit flies set in and 6 months before it falls off the wall.
  16. I have duct tape, I have a banana, but first I have to convince some"Athoritative power" that my banana is just a relevant as the other artist's banana. The same applied to elephant poo a few years back.
  17. Wild, François! Perhaps you can have the camshaft machined so the lobes don't wear away so quickly. You are just having too much fun.
  18. Lather, Whips, and Chains, Oh My!
  19. 1/24th 25th Bugatti Type 57C Cabriolet Shaw of Iran.
  20. Dead Opossum. Wern't squished so could be dinner.
  21. Bonds are formed through mutual attraction and interests.
  22. I have a book titled "Cable Car" by Christopher Swan, pub. Ten Speed Press 1978. It has just about anything you would want in details including the grip and brake details, cable power house, Turntables, along with track construction and under street guide pulleys. I see a couple on eby at the moment.
  23. Maine, I thought we was in New Hampshire!
  24. Something Wicked This Way Comes!
