Ya got me there!

While wondering the isles at my other favorite toy store (Home Depot), I found some material to make tinted windows for model cars. It’s a waffle patterned clear smoke tint panel about 4’ by 8’, and costs over $20. Best bet is to go in on it with about 3 other guys, and to cut it in quarter sections. There is just enough flat section in each “rib” for side and rear windows. I don’t think it is large enough for fastback windows; it’s not perfect. For standard coupes and sedans, it just may be the ticket.

Boxart released by Revell:

No magic formula here, it's a 50/50 shot. I guessed "real".

You are too hard on yourself.... it looks great!

Nice job, Cranky!

I still feel the Big Box store did the best thing for the hobby by bailing on us several years ago. They had too much sway on what kits were to be issued, and reissued. Now, instead of listening to the high demands for the WalMart staff, the hobby grows because of what the adult hobbyist wants. Of course I will still look what WalFart is stocking, but I am more likely to come home with a Maisto Ford Interceptor Police that is made from plastic unobtainium.

Always have to chuckle when I see a "rat rod" (because we don't all have the money for billit and shiney paint!") with wheels & tires that cost more than the car they're bolted to! But just one example...

??? Less exhaust plumbing means less weight? Plus easier to install, perhaps. Sorry, can't play the video here, audio = "disturbing the peace" w/ rest of family.

I'm sorry, I was in the bathroom. What?

I think Harry DOES read all the posts. When he's not at the computer, he has those strobing LED readouts, ala "Times Square" all over the house. He is the ALL SEEING, ALL KNOWING Harry!

I read that the officers didn't hear anything, as it was a hot, humid day, and the window mount A/C units were humming away in the station.

GREAT job! Luv them Edsels!

Close enough to hear the bullets wizzing over your head? YIKES!

So it's an old thread. It's not food.... it doesn't go bad. No problem. Resurrect as many as you need to get the info you seek.

Glad to see this one back and making progress, Mike!

When I read the title, I knew I have heard his name before. I don't know if it is from the msg boards. Perhaps it's the builds that Drew shared. No matter, it is a sad loss for our hobby.

About as REAL as real gets!

Similar nightmare here, except in mine, as soon as the GL's are out of sight, a bunch of Knightriders shows up!

I haven't been... ever, I think. I use a desktop link to here.

John, I am so sorry for your fathers passing. So senseless. Condolences to you and your family.

Chuck, your work never fails to amaze and impress me! Great imagination!

WIN!

Is there a real band named McFLY? Is there a real kit of them by TAMIYA? Artistically, that is a great video!

Nice car! The Showroom Series coupe is next on my bench. Did your kit have the vinyl seats? Did you brush, or spray them, and with what?
