Those Fujimi wheels... is each wheel a two piece unit? If so, I wish they were available in resin!

Now that's some bizzarre stuff! But, you said two cars, all I could find that was close was the Blue Flame. Did I read that wrong? Anyhow, I thought it is an eggsellent idea (sorry... someone had to say that!)

Some of that should be available through MicroMark. Send for the catalog if you haven't already. For the HoK paints, try Google to order direct. Perhaps you could contact via phone a well-stocked hobby store to ask if they will mail this stuff to you?

Hey! I saw these great ref pics on another site... from a '62 Chevy brochure! Now we know what colors to use! Apparently, every V8 from that era was pained pink! Detail it with some blue on the carb, fuel pump, etc! If you transplant a six in the car, it's a black & blue... Now I was surprised by the trans... and all this time, I thought they were aluminum! Ditto with the frame! Again, pink! NOT black as previously thought! And that yellow suspension parts took me aback. All in all, a very educational find, if I do say so myself!

So how much $$$ are they selling these little truffles for?

That would be my first idea! Propably nothing "exclusive" tho... I mean, I bet most (if not all) we see finished, will be in a diorama... and a tree or a wall will be in there somewhere. I suggest for something diff, and maybe to make a bit of irony, a tree growing up through it! Green to an extreme!

Like others have stated, I also join the ranks of "Hmmm..." Those wheel openings... well, the best thing to do is to wait and see. As long as the finished model looks good, that helps.

Maybe you are planning on doing a review for one of the magazines?

Tom, your work is always inspiring! And the A+ photography doesn't hurt either!

Bradley, I think YOU can delete the duplicate post, as there are no replies as of now. Just check out the buttons at the bottom... [DELETE]

I say it's a fine lookin' model! The model is fine, the exhaust tips are fine, there are more models to be built, time to move on to the next one.

Someday I have to build a model of the Shelby version my wife had...

Somewhere along the way, I missed the course on engine ID's. Now everytime I see talk of LT-1, Z06, etc I am lost. I am still stuck back in the days of 327, 350, and 427 cubic inches. Can someone please explain GM's "L" codes? Any other engine help would be appreciated. I do know Mopars new Hemi where an R/T is a 5.7L, and an SRT8 is a 6.1L Ford's 5.0L... I am "litre" challenged... how many cubic inches? Yeah, it's a bit embarrassing but I want to get this so I can move on. Thanks!

One thing I did to quit drilling holes every time I needed to find out what size drill bit I needed, so I drilled and labeled each bit in a scrap piece of plastic. It saves me time.

I'm glad that I am not the one who has to find photos of cars we may not have already seen! So yeah, why not go with a change!

Thank you Tom.. AND CREW... for another great party! I did the nine hour round trip, and worth every minute!

With Windows 7 there is something called a "Snipping Tool", where you select an area by "drawing" a box around it, and save it. Just get the pic to fill as much of the screen as you can, and "Snip" it. I knew about "Print Screen", but the ALT key capture technique is new to me. Thanks!

84 to 287 is the route we always did, and based on what I am reading here, I will stick with that route! Thank you all!

I plan on driving down to the NNL East from the central part of Mass, we always aim for Hartford, then 84 to 684 (IIRC) across the Tappen Zee to 287 Mapquest shows a route that appears to be quicker, yet through a real pita heavy traffic / NYC driving, which I want to avoid if it is a pita route. This route is 91 to 15 through Conn. to the Major Deegan Expressway Also it has been a few decades since I have gone over the GW Bridge, I recall getting stuck in the wrong travel lane. How is that bridge to navigate? Oh… I’ll probably be in the NYC area between 6:30 to 9:30 AM… I don’t need to be at the PAL Building at opening time. Thanks in advance!

Only problem with mine is it (again) arrived looking like someone with sweaty hands had a tight grip on the back cover. Maybe a Trekkie at the PO practicing their Vulcan Death Grip?

Mark (or anyone else who cares to answer), does that vintage Countach tooling from Tamiya seem smaller than 1/24 scale to you? In fact, it seems smaller than 1/25 scale to me. The remains of my first adult built Countach are now parts box fodder, the wheels seem too small to use on anything other than perhaps a Mini... hmmmm... now there's an idea!

Sounds like the hacks @ the PO had an "off" day...

I guess REAL. I can't imagine anyone offering a scale version of that.

Could someone explain what the floor to ceiling windows are done? There appears to be vertical edges and multiple panes. Is each display sealed from dust? I need to know, because I am certain that about half of the world's dust supply comes out of our house.
