  1. 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. ?
  2. Oh yeah. I painted the Revell Big Game GMC the same paint.
  3. That brown is a cool color.
  4. I'm still confused. Are there new episodes other than the 4 already out? I don't have any kind of motor trend plus or anything like that. Just regular old motor trend channel.
  5. Some Mopar wheels wit pad printed Goodyears from the '71 Duser kit, GM sport mirrors (not pictured) and a lifted undercarriage from the Revell Big Game GMC.
  6. Girl Trouble - Hit it or Quit it.
  7. Fairest Of The Seasons - Nico. Jackson Brown cover.
  8. Checked yesterday. Have all 4 on my DVR. Can't you watch them on his youtube channel?
  9. That looks like a '63-'66 Chevy c-10 panel. I believe Jimmy Flintstone, has those. Of coarse you hav to source the hood and undercarriage from a previous kit. NB318 - 1966 Chevy Suburban Delivery-NB318 (jimmyflintstonestudios.com) revell 1966 chevy truck model - Bing - Shopping
  10. 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.
  11. I was thinking that same thing. Nice work!
  12. Billy Bragg - Talking With The Taxman About Poetry.
  13. So Sad About Us - The Jam. Who cover.
  14. Wasn't that show from a year or so ago? I thought that it was already over. I still have a few episodes on my DVR. Unless this is a whole new season.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. I will be interested in seeing how this build come out.
  18. That exactly what I did with my MPC Swamp Rat CJ-5.
  19. Thin White Rope - Sack Full of Silver.
  20. Killing Moon - Chvrches. Echo and the Bunnymen cover.
  21. Gotta go with the mud tires.
  22. 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.
  23. 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)
  24. 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.
