Nice build Tim. Let's hope that tooling gets put to good use in the future.

I went to my favorite hobby shop today and all I got was this can of spray paint.

That could describe half of the lovely ladies there!

WHAT? How? Was magic involved? All that for $42? WOW!

This frustrates me. Really does. What on earth are we supposed to do? Really? Put out a 'bucket-o-praise'? Perhaps some symbol could be used? As example, a 'star'. Post the 'star' to let everyone know they wish to recieve lots of positive comments. Oh jeez. Sad.

They still need to be detailed and built. They are similar to a pre-painted all-plastic kit. I have this Charger, don't like the die-cast 'dog leg' hinges, so off they went via moto tool. These kits can be worked.

You get more ribs @ Chili's!

Welcome aboard. This is a great place to learn. The $24.95 monthly fee is a bit much, but Gregg lets me wash dishes to cover my fee when money is tight.

eModelCars, or EBay. I regret not buying one myself.

Jaw. On. Floor.

Now that I have a laptop, I no longer need the hammer. Now I just throw the thing against the wall. Quick, and convenient!

You don't need to strive for a museum quality model. You just need to build for yourself. Still, consider trying just one part better than before. Or just one new technique. Every artist probably started out drawing stick figures.

Is TDR the only source for parts computer "printed"? I only ask because I have a set of Jeep Grand Cherokee wheels with that texture you have referred to... and they are 1/25. They will need to have the texture smoothed out, I am grateful to have them!

Nice! How did you do the flares?

I believe the resin needs a C5 Corvette for the windshield glass. For clear headlight covers, I would do a vacu-form of the nose. Even if you do not have a vacu-form unit, you can fake it. Make a frame to attach a 6+" square of clear plastic. Heat it up in an oven, just us it starts to gently sag, take it out of the oven wearing hot mitts, and quickly pull it down over the nose of the resin, pausing to let it cool. Of course, you will still need to sculpt the chrome bucket reflectors. I just said "the heck with it", and sold my JF resin to someone!

It's big. It's green. It's... nice!

Was the Harley in this kit a first issue? Could it be added to another kit? Can they avoid paying royalty fees if no mention of "Harley Davidson" appears?

Bob's Ferraris, like all his sports cars, are the benchmark. Let's hope this one doesn't self-combust like the 1:1's do!

Use caution at the bench when on pain meds... what you may think is a great job, may turn out to look like a Picasso design!

OK! Be sure to check out that link, more pics of that Vette!

This be the car? More pics: http://www.corvettefever.com/featuredvehicles/153_0309_1956_chevrolet_corvette_sr_2/photo_02.html

My Sony Mavica is almost an antique. You mention "card"... yes, it takes one... a 3.5 floppy!

Pack Rat, can you give us any more details? Will it be a 2 in 1?

If I am on vacation, I set my photo size as large as I can get... never know if I may want prints. But for models, I set the size much smaller (if I remember to switch it back!)

Oh yeah! Let me toss some 1:1 inspiration in there! http://public.fotki.com/JCole/11-race-cars--trucks/11-race-cars--truck-1/
