  1. And so I used your link. Got: Error. You are not allowed to use or change the URL in that manner.
  2. Good bit of history there.
  3. Just thought it interesting that an obscure little site like ours was followed by someone else. Nothing more. Nothing less.
  4. Great job! They used one in a movie, main character traveled the robot fighting circuit with his robot fighter. Don't recall the name.
  5. SuperFly Cars, a Facebook page, seems to follow Model Cars Mag. Every bit of publicity helps.
  6. Long before Elon's Tesla was in space, the Russians had the MIR Edsel... Last pick was my inspiration, from a cartoon in Newsweek magazine.
  7. Yesterday, I saw... slop. Lots of slop. I so need spring! And clean, cool cars on the road.
  8. For that kind of detail, you will likely need to go find the actual 1:1 van. Perhaps try a junkyard.
  9. Crazy Volvo kit idea... Not the same model(?), just a thought.
  10. Steve, this Conti just oozes kewl!
  11. Smooth!
  12. Oh, that has the sauce! Looks so fine!
  13. Agreed. And sad to say, but the further down the board, the less the topics get noticed. Just leave this as a diecast page. Delete the resin wording.
  14. And, who is "they"? Because "they" are private investors, not beholden to any government agency. And there, they use their own funds. Not yours, or mine.
  15. I have been trying to research an answer to "how long will the audio system play the David Bowie loop?" There is some answers here: https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/24945/would-you-be-able-to-hear-the-radio-playing-in-the-falcon-heavy-tesla-car
  16. SpaceX is a privately owned company, created by Elon Musk. It cost no "taxpayers dime".
  17. One Saturn Roadster, with Spaceman behind the wheel. On a pedestal. In front of a globe of Earth. Illuminated from within. The Tesla should be posable in relation to the globe. Crossover potential here, both sci-fi, space, and automotive may show interest.
  18. Heart patient transforms hospital room into model car shop https://www.wthr.com/article/heart-patient-transforms-hospital-room-into-model-car-shop
  19. Great build of a rare unknown! Your wheel choice give it a rugged look.
  20. I was at HL this past weekend. No sales. Asked a clerk where the clearance section was, nothing there either.
  21. I was holed up in my apartment for three days. Funny, I don't recall too much of that time. Must have stocked up on beer LoL! Check out that Vega! Bet it rusted into dust before the snow melted.
  22. Beautiful build, Ismael! Welcome back to the board.
  23. I used a wheel/tire from an ERTL die cast truck bank. Not much room in that engine bay.
  24. Engine shroud also accompanied by surround seal, thus insulating the engine compartment from below. The fan would suck in cooling air, and direct it downward over the engine. Having owned a few, referencing was as easy as going out and opening the lid. White parts are scratch built. Man, I wish I had my 1:1 'vairs back! Old build photos not too great. Sorry 'bout that.
  25. "not a completed car." That describes half the kit boxes on my shelves!
