  1. If all that was poured into the ground, the EPA would fence it off.
  2. Because Revell should drop all other new kit tooling, and devote the thousands of dollars needed to tool... that... up?
  3. Nice!
  4. Now there's something we don't expect to see very often! Looks durn good too!
  5. LoL!!!
  6. My take on it... it's a model car first. Even if it's a replica of a 1:1 car, it's still a model. So do whatever you want. If you think it will make you happy to clearcoat, then clearcoat. The shiny model always gets the nod. Unless... it is supposed to be satin, such as a rat rod. Personally, I would not coat over the decals, but I may clear the paint before decal app. That's just me, though.
  7. Awesome!
  8. I used to make the 5+ hour drive every year, up to a few years ago. Won't make it this year either. A five hour drive, alone, plus so-so health make it difficult. I hope you all have fun, spend a lot, and as I used to say to my folks in my youth when they went shopping "Buy me something!"
  9. I have attempted to modify the tie rod on the Hudson for posable steering. There is a piece in the middle that must swivel. Even though I had the engine in place, it popped free, so I removed the engine. I didn't have the block glued in well. Do you think the engine will trap that swivel in place if I glue the engine in?
  10. I just Google'd "Tamiya Master Tools Pillar Drill", it shows that article in the March issue of Tamiya magazine. Perhaps you could locate the magazine? Seems there must be something in the mag on how to contact. Advertiser index?
  11. Yeah, that is nice build! The 2nd gen coupes had a nice style!
  12. ​I'm really liking this one!
  13. Now that is sweet! Nice paint. Nice build!
  14. I was using this Nike Eyewear display until a few hours ago. Now it's on its way to a new home. I found it next to the local hospital maintenance dept. a few years back. A phone call confirmed that I could take it. But it was just too big, and I already had a wood & glass curio cabinet. It was nice, the shelves were illuminated.
  15. When I built my '65 ragtop, I used the boot for a 1st gen Mustang. Didn't the last issue of this kit include a boot, even tho it is a hardtop?
  16. Nice! How about some more info? Source for the body, motor, wheels, etc?
  17. Why not just use 3D for a master to make a resin cast? The cost could be spread out over several castings. Just a thought.
  18. OMG! He built the Freakshow! I always wondered if someone would attempt it! You did an awesome job, John!
  19. I have always admired the 911, although these days it seems like a car with multiple identities. Every time Porsche changes something, even non visible things such as horsepower is changed, it gets a new numerical designation. I gave up trying to ID the evolution decades ago.
  20. Bill! That is awesome! Also like seeing an up-top in place every now and then.
  21. Something similar just happened around a month ago in or near Boston. Double decker bus had the entire top deck shaved. http://on.rt.com/mo1p2w
