  1. Paging Túlio Lazzaroni He built a few.... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82485
  2. Luckily, that rear window would be a flat plane. You could make a pattern and cut it out of.... almost any clear flat plastic. They also sell it by the sheet in well stocked hobby shops.
  3. Diggin' it! In this case, to warp a hot rod into something it's not supposed to be, very kewl! Hope it gets a proper themed paint. F1 is not my thing, however. What team had a black, or dark paint scheme? Perhaps JPS?
  4. I have been wanting to build an Uncertain T for a long time. I have no intention of waiting for a 3D print or buying the resin copy that floats around out there on the interwebs. The body is primarily flat stock. The corners have some funky radius, but not impossible to duplicate. The cowl, that can be sourced from other kits. Frames can be scratch built. And the nailhead, thank you for that '29 Ford tip. Someone once did me a favor, and laid out the body panels of an unbuilt Monogram U/T, and traced them onto paper. It's around here somewhere. It's only plastic. And 100% accuracy doesn't concern me on such a strange kustom show rod. Ron Savoie, thank you for sharing the rare original version of the Uncertain T!
  5. Ex-Lambrecht 1963 Impala: 32 ‘before and after’ photos of an 11-mile time capsule - See more at: http://www.oldcarsweekly.com/blogs/under-the-hood/ex-lambrecht-1963-impala#sthash.82d2uoLB.dpuf Great reference photos!
  6. Pictures look fine to me! Of course, I fell out of my chair looking at them! BTW, most photo hosting sites have a "rotate" feature in their "EDIT" function. Nice build!
  7. Looks tasty!
  8. I cannot say for sure if this is relevant for model builders who purchase online and pay via PayPal, but I thought it should be shared in case it is. PayPal’s New Terms Of Service Mean More Robocalls, Spam Texts For Users http://consumerist.com/2015/06/02/paypals-new-terms-of-service-mean-more-robocalls-spam-texts-for-users/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
  9. I say they can. Question are, will they? Power to the people. You got to let them know what you want.
  10. The top surface on the hood ornament appears to have missed the polishing treatment on the tooling. I think I can correct mine by sanding smooth, and some BMF.
  11. True that. That last line.... here's a chisel. Lets carve that in stone.
  12. Not a whole lot. At least not yet.
  13. "The series will include full glue and paint model kits as well as Revell’s first Foose pre-decorated glue kits. It will be released over a three-year period." I would bet a holy grail that this series never sees it all the way from beginning to end. When one or more of the kits fails to reach a pie in the sky 34 zillion unit sales, the rest will be quietly forgotten. Nothing against Revell. This kind of thing just happens. Remember when we got Milner's Coupe, and the '55 Chevy from "American Graffiti"? We asked "Why no Toad's '58 Chevy?" The answer: "We'll see how the sales do on these." We never did get that '58 with the AG tie-in. Just because they say they will do something, doesn't make it carved in stone. Can anyone with some memory cells (leaves me out) recall any other series that never made it to the finish line?
  14. The Impression looks like the '36 version of Testors '38 Coupster.
  15. Cut out and swap sides on that C pillar, and it might not look so odd.
  16. By looking at it, there appears to be a dull surface. It's not like the surface of an orange. I cannot even feel the texture.
  17. All in all, just a minor adjustment of the 2010 design. Nothing much to see here, folks.
  18. It looks like there is a separate tree for brass parts. Looks to contain the grill, windshield frame, support rods, lanterns, etc. This looks like a great kit! So a kit of an antique car, with (I assume) a modern day price tag?
  19. Why do people lock their own topics here? It makes no sense. It's irritating.
  20. Okay, (1): who hated the Camaro before the 2010 redesign, including the seemingly never ending spy shots through the latter half of the 2000's? (2): Who liked the Camaro up to the above mentioned redesign? (3): Who liked the 2010 Camaro redesign, but not diggin' this latest design reveal?
  21. Looks great. I've often wondered, of all the classic cars in garages, how many were not liked by their current owners when the car was new? We (as a whole) are so conservative. Especially on car styling. I see the new Camaro restyle so slight, it hardly noticeable (in my eye). Just minor tweaking. Not this Gawd awful restyle everyone makes it out to be. If I had a dollar for every new car that the masses claim to dislike, I would be rich.
  22. The "Exotic Automobile" of it's era.
