I added the photo of the AMT T600 because it was stated (or implied... whatever) that it was ignored. The photo proves otherwise. I never said anything about quality. Interesting reading all the comments on the Lonestar. Judging by what some are writing, one would think their quality of life depends on it.

Now when you find these kits, you can almost be certain that when you open the box, the figures are gone. That is so frustrating. Seated or standing, I think they are a plus. Just don't make us pass on a first issue of a kit, because the figure(s) won't be available to the second+ issue... seems to me that has been the situation in recent history.

Not finding it in 1/24 scale at that link, just 1/32

Basically, same question posted twice? Perhaps each title should be labeled as "Pt. 1" & "Pt. 2" accordingly.

I don't have the Lonestar, but I wouldn't mind having a go with it. As for the so-called aweful instructions, how about someone show a photo or three? A picture is worth a thousand words, goes the old saying. I am currently building the Hudson from Moebius, so I would like to compare instruction styles.

I have the small Pace booth... uses same size filters. In fact, I plan on buying more this weekend @ Home Depot.

At one time, Perry's Resin cast those wheels. I was able to use them on my 2D.

Sweet! Thanks Chuck.

Can someone please help me with part #'s 108 & 109? The wiper motors? They have a strange tapered tab that looks like they won't fit into the corresponding mounting holes on the firewall bulkhead. Do they fit, and did you do any mods to make it fit? Thanks.

Way back in the dark ages, I was painting a 1:1 car in a room w/ no ventilation, and my respirator was probably loose. I nearly passed out toward the end of the third coat of DuPont Centari Enamel. I literally crawled outside on all fours, spitting up the color of the day from my lungs. Fortunately, I had no adverse reactions. Also, I had no adverse reactions. Paint is not the only enemy to your health in this hobby. Every time you sand, you are breathing in tiny particles. The resin dust is even worse, from what I have been told. A dust mask is a must in these situations. When using a moto tool on resin parts, I mocked up this square-mouthed funnel to my shop vac. I did add a piece of window screen inside the funnel to catch anything I may drop.

I am on here multiple times a day. I love this place. In the past few days I have been at the workbench again, still pluggin' away on the Hudson. This board helps motivate the desire. With any luck, I just might have a model to show this year!

Beautiful! Like the unusual color also!

Wife has owned hers for at least 3 years now. Trouble free. We have the non-turbo, so we get to run regular fuel. We are now over 100,000 miles, time to consider the timing belt replace. My -personal- gripe, the Japanese have not a clue on how to adapt tilt steering to suit Americans. I have a heck of a time getting in the drivers seat... requires inserting foot up behind the brake pedal as far as I can. Wish they would design the column to tilt up about 2" further.

Real sharp Merc! Is that the AMT, or the Revell Merc? I don't recognize that rear window.

That color really works on a Hudson!

Stunning artwork! Better design than the coupe, imho!

Obama ad by Clint? Interesting, especially as Mr. Eastwood is a registered Republican. Spin it as you may.

Oh, this can't be good. Perhaps wrap each wheel with BMF to act as a barrier?

That is exactly what my boss does, and I assure you, there is NO extra money to buy subwoofers, chrome plating, extravagant paint, and other gee-gaws. That is a big investment. My point is, which contractor will charge the school administration less... the one who has stock busses, or the one who has invested thousands, if not tens of thousands, into a rolling custom truck show. I don't think it takes a degree in business management to figure this one out. Don't get me wrong, the busses are cool and all, but that stuff is coming (read: $$$) from somewhere, and I doubt it's from the SAU or the taxpayers.

LoL! Dude, UBA rebel!

Harry, you are, of course, correct. I was just having fun with what I see as the absurdity of it... just my op. Won't bring it up again.

How many more days to Christmas?

When I was 8... yes. Poop. 9,215 and counting.

That excuse can cover a lot, most of which doesn't make any sense. Detail please. How do they get a return on their investment?
