  1. Filmed with 1/32 scale slot cars! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_AsKP1cndo&feature=player_embedded
  2. This page... http://public.fotki.com/JCole/model_car_shows/misc_model_contests/page89.html ...starts about half way down
  3. This is what 3D printing looks like on a 1/25 scale part...
  4. I recall a man by the name of Kevin Keys putting on a model car contest in Bennington, Vermont every February. Does anyone know if, and when it will be? Thanks.
  5. Very cool! To create team graphics... what an honor!
  6. Cranky has an airbrush tutorial on YouTube, real good. Basically, the long needle, the trigger button (which becomes free when the needle is removed), the tip... real basic. See the Doc's vid to see how few parts there are. Gently wipe that needle clean with a towel soaked in thinner, put it back together. Before disassembly, squirt lacquer thinner through (we would spray into the paper towel for severel seconds, then push the tip tight into the towel tight while still spraying; forces thinner to back up- WEAR EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION!). Clean out the bottle; add another dab of thinner; and repeat the "spray-thru" procedure. Have a container such as a metal coffee can (do they still have those?) to dispose of waste thinner. TIP- ask a body shop if they have any leftover empty 1 or 5 gallon metal thinner / reducer cans. I use a 5 gallon with a metal funnel, topped with window screen so nothing else goes down into the toxic abyss.
  7. What Jim says. You can also try Model Master Ivory, over the blue "fluid"
  8. I also say real
  9. Welcome back Jim! I cannot imagine being hospitalized for 62 days... I was in for 5 days w/ pneumonia. I hated it. How did you pass the time?
  10. Way nice Mopar, Jeff! I like the weathered chassis... that is how they are up here! But... no opening doors & trunk?
  11. Real nice job! Great idea.
  12. Do like! I have the '37 Ford pickup on my bench also! Keep it going!
  13. Interesting. Did Ford have a separate dealership line in Canada for Meteor? How were they marketed?
  14. I did know it was sold by Sears, but the name "Allstate" escaped me. Plus I had no idea of the year. Bummer!
  15. Hey Ed! We are all waiting for you to come back! Hope every day is better than the day before!
  16. The list that I have: 4122-72782 1/24 Charger Police Car, NC MSRP -$24.99 4122-72783 1/24 Charger Police Car, ILL MSRP -$24.99 4122-72784 1/24 Charger Police Car, Florida MSRP -$24.99 4122-72785 1/24 Charger Police Car, Texas MSRP -$24.99 4122-72786 1/24 Charger Police Car, Philly MSRP -$24.99 4122-72787 1/24 Charger Police Car, LA MSRP -$24.99 4122-72796 1/24 Charger Police Car, White MSRP -$24.99
  17. Looks wild!
  18. Wow! That looks good. I hope you consider moving those rear meats outward a bit... wide track = stability & handling. I dig hubless wheels, but I read that they are not practical, and are prone to maintenance issues. But- it's a model, so pick the style that floats your boat!
  19. Is there any hobby related trade shows this month? I think there used to be. Is it still revelant? I would always look forward to new kit intros
  20. Good choice, tho not often thought of as a muscle car
  21. I agree... there must be a market for these. I bought the following at the Southwest Challenge way back in 1992! Notice the vendor didn't put any info on the card...
  22. Not big enough. Way nasty! Rocks!
