  1. Or about $3./lb for the body filler.
  2. I like it; wheels and all!
  3. Looks great! Nice color! Nice wheels! Nice!
  4. No matter who endorses a model, odds are, if Revell had the tooling already in their bins, the finished product will be cast with as few alterations as they can get away with. New tooling, or tool alterations cost money. If you keep the expectations low (and realistic), you won't get an unpleasant surprise.Not the answer we would like, but that seems to be the reality of it.
  5. A Hindustan Avigo? Yeah, that was my next guess. After my first guess. Which I never did make.
  6. You guys have no vision of what is possible. That would be a prototype to see if it's feasible. Looks good to me. Like any prototype, it needs tweaking. Tracks, for deeper snow. If it gets below 0ยบ out, should be OK as it's stored in a garage (maybe in need of a space heater?), driveway looks small and should be able to plow it in minutes. I think he was plowing the sidewalk just to see what it can do, but even then, if it's just to the neighbors driveway, no problem! He should put a pole on it with an amber strobe for liability reasons though. He also needs to find it's maximum snow depth. Otherwise, he will need to plow twice. While sitting at his workbench monitor. No sore back. Sa-weet!!
  7. And fine builds they are!
  8. I see Christmas as an event to survive. For some of us, it is wracked with depression and stress. I only have to buy for my wife, who is absolutely impossible to buy for. I have never heard her say "I would like that" referring to an item in a store. Now I need to figure out how to deal with a bunch of useless trinkets from my stocking. Our sparse income went towards the purchase of this stuff. She seems to think I need computer cable holders.... every Christmas. Thank God it's over.
  9. He's going to like that!
  10. The 19th was a truly bad day- my friend and boss, Todd, died from a heart attack at age 49 that same day. Chuck built some beautiful models. May he RIP.
  11. Real nice! Looks good chopped!
  12. Unless I got my wires crossed, I believe it is he who is building a hobby room. I suspect that may have all his attention right now. Still, you do deserve a response.
  13. Now that is just too kewl! Great job!
  14. Awesome build!
  15. Actually, I was just noticing recently just how many Neons there are still on the road! Quite a few actually. Both my niece and nephew each had one until recently. One of my students home has one in their driveway. I see them all day long. I bet most of them are on their last leg... especially since nobody can afford to swap that Chrysler transmission once it finally dies.
  16. You need a third category- artwork. It looks like a very well done oil or acrylic painting. But it's not. And not real, so I guess... model.
  17. Perhaps one of these kits can get you started in the right direction?
  18. Amith- I went to the Hobby Easy web site, and searched "Hamann SLR", as well as "SLR", "Benz SLR". I could find no matches. Sorry. You need to offer more info or photos. Good luck.
