  1. My wife is always on the hunt for cheap curio cabinets. I have three now, and this one being the nicest one yet. It is self sealing. I will take one of the shelves to a local glass shop to have a few more made, or ordered. I love how it looks with most of my built models in it.
  2. All is good Wylde. We are on track now. Thank you.
  3. I built my first model car in 1974ish. It was MPC Coo Coo Marlin Monte Carlo from the NASCAR Series. I never finished it, and only recently found one and built it. The first complete model was a funny AMT kit called the Lug Bug around the same time.
  4. I have ordered from Canuck3D recently with good results. May 3rd, I placed an order, got an email letting me know another email would come giving me payment options like it has in the past. However I am yet to get the payment email, and I have reached out to Wylde to see if he can send/resend the payment email, and I have gotten no response. I am aware he might be busy, but it has been almost two weeks with no response. My only thoughts were maybe I missed something where he would be away, on vacation, sick, shut down temporarily, or just out of business. I hope the latter is not true as he makes a great quality product.
  5. I love it. Pontiac should have built it. The closest they ever came was in 2008 with the G8 ST, but it never made the US market.
  6. My three consists of Popular Hot-Rodding's "Project X" "Hollywood Knights" Version 57 Chevy. Mike Finnegan's "Blasphemi" 55 Chevy, and David Freiburger's "General Mayhem" 68 Charger
  7. Thank you everyone. It is such an iconic car for two reasons, and I had always wanted to build it.
  8. I tried. There was not much to go on as it changed from time to time. I could not figure out the color at the time of the movie filming, so I went off a number of different pics to come up with what I thought it might look like with the bench intact.
  9. That is great. I had no idea he was making them now. I will have to check them out.
  10. As far as I know Canuck3D's grills are for the AMT truck. It is a bit narrower than the Revell version. I did a comparison and noted the size difference a couple months back.
  11. A Few Sprues Loose on Ebay is now offering different grills for the new Revell K5 Blazer, both Chevy, and GMC. I will be ordering a couple. Chevy Blazer GMC Jimmy C/K Square Body 1981-91 Grilles for 1:25 Revell Model Kit | eBay
  12. Great build. Having owned a couple Victory Red trucks, I would say the hood is spot on.
  13. I agree amber is the best way to identify a turn, but I think we are over thinking this. Red, amber, blue, green. If the light is flashing, something is happening, and you should be aware. Twice I have had a left directional on. One with an amber turn signal, the other with red. in both these cases as I turned left, the driver behind me tried to pass me on the left. Both times I was sent into a brick sign base, and a rock wall. The color of the light means nothing if the idiot behind you is not paying attention. Work on replacing idiots with normal people.
  14. Great build. It looks so real. When you said Odd Jobs, I naturally thought of this guy from Gold Finger.
  15. Outstanding. The build was fun to watch for sure.
  16. Outstanding. I had to take a double take on the Tasca dealer emblem on the back. Great detail.
  17. Great looking Mopar. I like the blue tint on the upper windshield.
  18. Great build. I love Studebaker cars like the Avanti, and Starliner. Way ahead of their times. Great color choices.
  19. Arrived today. After exhausting all avenues to find this in Styrene, resin or 3D I broke down and spent way too much money on what seems to be the last black diecast Dodge Omni GLH on the planet. I want to take it out of the package to display it, but it is sealed, and I cannot bring myself to do so........ Yet. If I open it, and couple things that would need to be addressed is tires. The tires are way too big, and the wheels need more shine. Also, I noticed the hood has no intercooler vent.
  20. Agreed. The 83-86, and 87-88 T-Birds, Cougar, and 83-92 Mark 7 were some of the best-looking cars to come out of Detroit. The fact that most Performance parts from the Mustang was a direct bolt on was a plus.
  21. I followed the build of this car, and it is incredible what you have done with it.
