Maybe just because it is a Dodge Charger? It seems that many people grossly overhype and overrate what essentially was a cheap fashion gag without any outstanding technical features. Granted, with the right motor it went like stink, but so did all other contemporary Mopars, even the Imperials.

Oh. My. God.

Seriously now, not having read any GL threads on other forums, what kind of 'controversy' do GL threads normally cause? Is it just the flag, or something else?

I had to google it too. Seems to be some type of foam material which is used in protoype modelling. On my search, I came across this thread on another forum: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=195854 People like this always make me feel like a total perman00b.

Not sure how this works in the States, but over here all LHSes have websites and do mailorder too. They couldn't survive otherwise.

Errr.... Which other pedals could one possibly need in a car?

BTT: Not a GL only section, but I second that a TV/Movie models section probably won't hurt.

Very, very true. Where would one post a VW Firetruck Lowrider?

I think we should first discuss whether it's appropriate to display them with the flag on the roof, or not.

Those 258s indeed respond well to some percussive maintenance.

It's a Slant Six.

You may want to look into the purchase of a Caterham Super Seven? Btt: I simply cannot avoid to shop online, since hardly anything I want to buy is available locally. Most of the stuff is even Made in China, heavens forbid! Thanks god this is mainly restricted to my rather exotic hobbies, since in all other aspects of life I'm a keen advocate of anti-globalization, autonomy, and regional economy. I'm on a 100 mile seasonal diet, buy my clothes at a local men's fitter, support the local businesses as much as I can, drink beer from my local brewery down at the pub, have my cars serviced at a little garage down the street. I think I more than make up for what I spend on my hobbies, or the odd Honduras cigar, tea, coffee, or wine.

It's exactly this I find counterproductive and plainly wrong. - It happened countless times that someone pointed something out on my models he doesn't like. Something which I never saw this way and which would have never occurred to me if he wouldn't have pointed it out. Hence, a huge thanks to all, who pointed out what they didn't like about my models! - This is a forum. Not a praise or sod off religious order. The purpose of forums is to invite opinion and debate, otherwise there would be no reason for their existence.

- I'm no longer posting my work in the workbench because I hardly get any responses on what I post, so I assume people aren't interested in what I build. People who post an open box with a body next to it get more response. - I'm no longer posting comments on other people's work in the workbench, since if it is good, many others do anyway, and if it is not so good, the whole world comes down on me when I do. - I'm not posting my work in the under glass, because none of my models are fished. - I'm no longer posting comments on other people's work in the under glass for the same reason I no longer post comments on other people's work in the workbench. Needless to say that I'm an avid browser of both sections and enjoy it a lot.

Suspension? There is no blooming suspension on our drag racer: Still has a few teething problems though:

Is it a curbside, or did they include an engine?

I wouldn't care if it was down in the sewers.

You could have bought two model kits instead.

I know quite a few people who do strange things. They build plastic model kits.

Drop it, chop it, hop it...

I find them too tyre hugging. If need be, replace them with the ones from a 2CV?

Leave the front mudguards and bumperettes away. And drop in a Viper V-10.
