I don't recall having ever built a boat or even a ship, but I do admire those who build those great old wooden ships from the past. I even like those wooden small boats and even to fiberglass ones. I don't think I could ever muster up the patience to do one of those big old sailing ships. This 1/20 van is still making me pull my hair out. ?

This is sort of the no spray painting season for me. A little too humid. That never goes right. I usually wait until October when the humidity backs off a little. Now I try to assemble the stuff I already have painted.

Funny you should mention Headlights. I literately just got done gluing in all the clear headlights and accessory lights on my Hijacker Ford van ad I forgot that the fitment is so painfully poor on this particular model that you have to trim, sand and do numerous dry runs before using any glue of any kind and I nearly lost one of the lenses for the accessory lights. It fell on the floor, and it was a one in a million shot that I was able to spot it right away. The lenses for these are waaaaay bigger than the housings they are supposed to fit inside of. The Headlights on the other hand seemed to drop right into the grill with verry little fuss. This model is moving along so pitifully slow because it is testing my patience every step of the way. I often just have to walk away from it for a while.

Thanks! The SBC is from an MPC Deserter truck kit. I used the jeep kit trans. Could have done a better job painting those flairs. I have since installed the radiator hose. The lift was easy. You just have to do a little lining up. -

What would YOU like to see as a model
Mike C. replied to JeroenM3's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I said it before, I'll say it again. BAJA BUG! The wide eyed version would be nice and the front bumper nerf bars and a rear cage would be nice. I have a Revell '68 bug kit just waiting for this day. Also, the old Jackman style dune buggy Baja wheels would be nice. -

I like the top ones. -
I wish AMT would re release those Polyglas sets again. They have some out now but they are only redlines. Red Line Tires Parts Pack (modelroundup.com) Spokes & Stripes Wheel & Tire Pack (modelroundup.com)

Just ordered their '73 El Camino kit the other day. Everything except engine, mirrors, suspension, wheels/tires. Have all parts in parts bins. Got something special planned.
