Revell & Foose poll for 2 new kits
Jon Cole replied to 1930fordpickup's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I voted for the Eldorod and Grand Master. -
Paging Túlio Lazzaroni He built a few.... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82485

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.

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?

STEVE SCOTT ,A.KA . [ UNCERTAIN T ]
Jon Cole replied to bpletcher55's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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! -
New "Band Wagon", let's all get on.

Kitty whiskers. -
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!

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.

1/25 Revell '72 Hurst/Olds Cutlass Kit
Jon Cole replied to W-Machine's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I say they can. Question are, will they? Power to the people. You got to let them know what you want. -
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.

True that. That last line.... here's a chisel. Lets carve that in stone.

Not a whole lot. At least not yet.

"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?

The Impression looks like the '36 version of Testors '38 Coupster.

1/25 Moebius/Model King 1959 Rambler Custom Cross Country Wagon
Jon Cole replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Cut out and swap sides on that C pillar, and it might not look so odd. -
-
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.
-
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?
-
Why do people lock their own topics here? It makes no sense. It's irritating.

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.
