  1. As stated, the front has 38 Ford traits. I see cues of a Bugatti Atlantic in the body
  2. More reason for me to renew my PayPal! I like your proactive approach to marketing!
  3. Sean, perhaps you could also consider Revells late-model Corvette C6-R kits?
  4. Diggin' it!
  5. My local Michael's Craft Store has that in stock right now... check one near you. Don't forget the 40% off coupon.
  6. Years ago I won an E-Bay bid on a kit from Hong Kong. Instead of packing the kit in a shipping box, it arrived wrapped in paper! I was amazed that the kit was not damaged! I never bid on a kit from overseas since.
  7. Wasn't that the toy out of a Cracker Jack box?
  8. In fact, the photos of that collision have surfaced... BTW,here is the link to the ABC News story... http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/black-friday-shipping-company-careful-holiday-packages/story?id=12244017
  9. From what I saw of the videos, the employees are still trying to decide if "FRAGILE" means "shoot hoops", "go for the long bomb", or "home run!"
  10. I didn't vote this time, as I couldn't find any info from my internet searches. I tried Alfa, Delahaye, Horsch, Delage, all with no luck
  11. GMA (Good Morning America) just showed the results of a test done to test the three big US shippers for package handling and damage. They compared FedEx, UPS, and the USPS by shipping packages with motion sensing software from NYC to California, then to Texas, then back to NYC. Guess who was the most gentle with your package? The answer surprised me. The USPS had the least damage! They also showed several YouTube videos of shippers tossing, flipping, and outright throwing packages! What if you stick a “FRAGILE†label on your package? The quantity of impacts actually increased! They suggest using good quality boxes that have never been previously damaged or deformed; pack contents tightly; use insurance each time; and… take a photo of the contents before packing, and again when it is in the box, before sealing. Because model builders often ship kits, I thought this would be of some help. More peanuts, anyone?
  12. That's it. That is how I would want mine to look!
  13. Just switched earlier today...
  14. The Lamborghini Reventon comes to mind...
  15. How about the "NUKE WASTE" decals? Those are killer!
  16. I just bought the 2010 Corvette ZR1 kit by Revell... kudos to Revell for stuffing that box sideways! The body and all the parts trees all fit in on their side, thus making it easy to get everything back in the box. Sort of our hobbies "once in a blue moon" event. I wish every kit was this easy to repack!
  17. Really? I just typed "1987 Thunderbird" in Google Image, it shows page after page after page of '87 Birds! Plus, if I clicked on the pics, I suspect there is more pics on many of the sites. I suspect eBay has a bunch of them also.
  18. It strikes me odd as I look through my stash of detail and super detail sets that I have collected through the years... as time goes by, my desire to use them wanes. Right now, I am in one of my worse funks ever. The most I can do at the hobby bench is shuffle stuff around. I am a “middle of the road†detailer… I do OK, but never so good that it will make a contest judge drop his jaw. And I seem to be caring less. I cannot build right now. I hope to try again someday.
  19. Looks good... I think. Hope you get some better quality pics. I think it would be worth it.
  20. Real sharp build!
  21. I also suggest a photo host site. My Fotki account resizes the photos for me. Plus, a photo host site just makes sense. Save your pics in one easy to find (and share) place forever.
  22. Are decals available for us to build a replica of the Wild Child?
  23. Yup! Good job, Felix!
  24. That's too kool, Chuck! BTW, you got some explainin' to do! What bits went into that? Has it had it's shots?
  25. Big gap between the roof and the side in the first pic. Other than that, and the missing t-lights, looks nice!
