Didn't? Don't! Can't spot a radiator anywhere on our brand new top fueler.

That's practically stolen. Looks to be all there, too.

- Steering wheels for gorillas. - No stalks on steering column.

I think you nailed it.

There will not be the day I'll treat a bloody politician with respect. Anyone else? Of course!

None whatsoever. Furthermore, the annual model changes accounted for about a third of the new car prices, i.e. the customers paid a 33% premium just for the fins being a slightly different shape as last year's. Man, why was everything better and nicer in them good old days?

What do you want to compare it with? It was fast enough to pull away from a (contemporary) 560 Benz on a German Autobahn. For me, this is sufficient. OK, that bloody Jag XJ12 left me in its tyre smoke, but it cost literally 100 times more to buy.

Mine was a 6.0 and went like stink.

That'll be the Continental Mark III Landau for me then, please and thank you.

The cars are the only reason I went to watch it. It's worthwhile watching it just for the cars. Too bad that despite they had the chance for some superb V8 bass-line, they opted to dub it over with some stupid whirring, like the cars are electrically powered. No idea what they want to brainwash us into, but I don't like it and it doesn't work on me. Gosh are you right about the movie plots. But it's not so much the shallow plots that annoy me, even the best movies can have plots far away from being intellectually stimulating. It's the scripts that suck into the middle of next week nowadays.

I agree, it does have charm. But the only other 60 DeSoto I have is a mint kit. Then again, the heck with it. I'll leave this one as is and build the minter.

It could have been good. In fact, the cast had the potential to make it outstanding. But it has such severe weak spots that the overall result is mediocre at best. The Timekeeper Antagonist character's death is remarkably out of character and it is just one example of the horridly weak script and story structure. If he's supposed to be this tough time cop who grew up in the ghetto and had to fight and claw to stay alive for an extra 50 years, how could he forget to top up his time TWICE? This is a textbook example of a writer using a horribly cheap Deus Ex Machina to make the protagonist defeat the antagonist. It's the equivalent of Darth Vader losing to Luke because he forgot to tie up his shoes. It's bloody weak. More importantly, if the time cop was as tough as the movie projects him to be, do you think there's any way that his superiors would ever let him forget to top up? He's an asset. A very good one (supposedly). They're not about to let him just die off especially while he is on this job. Also very annoying is that there is no explanation whatsoever why the rich are rich and how they became rich. Then, what is Sylvia Weis' motive to switch sides? And why does she and Will continue to be criminals after the system has been overthrown? When Will and Sylvia rob the rich woman in the limousine, why do they leave her stranded so stripped for time that she doesn't stand a chance to survive, while on the other hand they are portrayed as the philanthropists that help out everybody else, even their worst enemy? Why don't they rob and kill other rich people when they have the chance? Why only her? Why are the crooks with the Seville portrayed so incredibly stupid? They shoot people to die with time left. Gimme a break! Where is the middle class from all the time zones between the Ghetto and New Greenwich? Whom would it have sided with during the uprising of the Ghetto? Why is it omitted from the script altogether? These are just textbook examples of poor writing and any attempt to justify the writing by coming up with ridiculous reasons as to "why this" or "why that" is just as weak. Remember, when the script and writing are solid, you don't have to make excuses for them.

Any early Sixties Lincoln sedan would be high up on my reissues want list, lemme tellya. I have an entire fleet of customs in mind. I'm sick and tired of that 65 ragtop they keep reissuing with stoic perseverance and strangely no resin caster bothers to make a sedan body for it. Well, it's the model kit industry, so what else would one expect?

Got me this little gem off the evil bay with a view to restoring it. Having it in front of me now, I have second thoughts though. It is neatly done and has the best brush paint job I have ever seen.

Cheers! Apparently a deffo must see.

Which movie?

You put it back in your mouth.

What do you mean with 'selling'? My friends just come to my house and snatch what they like.

The recently reissued Italeri Jeep in 1/24 comes with a M2 machine gun:

Preiser makes some G-Scale vegetables, but oranges are not among them: http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/psr/psr45207.htm For oranges you could probably use some orange beads?

"In Time" The movie has one of the weakest scripts ever. In fact, it is so bad that it borders being good, actually. In a 'Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes' kind of way. But all cars in it are really cool mild customs. The cops drive customized 197x Challengers, and late Seventies - early Eighties Ramchargers/Traildusters. There is a fleet of customized black 1961-65 Continentals, most (but not all) of which Lehmann-Peterson Limousines (I have spotted examples of each year mentioned). Among them a sole silver metallic 1968 Imperial Limousine. Some ghetto crooks drive a copper Bustleback Seville. And when the main protagonist (played by Justin Timberlake) runs into some loot, he buys himself a silver customized Jag E-Type roadster. Note the other cars at this used car lot. All those cars would make superb TV/Movie model subjects.

The Monogram 39 Chevy sedan delivery comes with a Big Block Chevy that really lives up to its moniker.

I think they are from the Monogram '82 Corvette Collectors Edition snap kit. So the Monogram tyres should fit and they can be made into whitewalls by painting the sidewall white. You could also try the ones with whitewall inserts. The Modelhaus makes copies of the Monogram whitewall tyres, too.

Think again. There is nothing wrong with a bona fide V8 Cold War Motor.

I'm on a mission. I hope those backward 'it won't sell, it won't sell' model kit industry snivellers with the business acumen of a turtle will see this thread and start pulling the finger out. And this is for zak78 because he dreams of the other kind of models, too: So do I, btw.
