  1. I saw this 66 chevelle at a local riverside restaurant.
  2. That's a real looker, great job!
  3. Hope you can find a color you like! I love the conversations and fun you, Lenny, David (W and G ?) have on here. They make me smile every time I read them.
  4. * ONLY 1932 Tudor Sedans in 1:25/1:24, no matter the kit manufacturer. No Vickies, no Phaetons (even if based on chopped Tudor), no '31s, no Woodies etc... you get the idea. * Any body allowed. Kit's, 3D printed, resin... as long as it is a '32 Tudor Sedan. Some of the great resin cast four door bodies are also permitted. Delivery sedan conversions also allowed. Chopped or stock. * No previously finished models permitted in this thread. This is a fresh challenge. You can enter an already started project, but only if it is no more than 30% complete. *Build-off starts now and the finish line is October 15th. That's almost 5 months, which should give everyone plenty of time to complete their Tudor, considering the subject matter. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ From what I gathered from above, looks like it's any manufacturer and it just has to be based on a 32 sedan. That means your good to go! Looking forward to more of your build, Model on!
  5. The old orange crate body looks so cool and I always wondered what it would take to put on a revell 32 frame. Looking forward to your build.
  6. Looks like a cool project, looking forward to it. ?
  7. I saw a blue 70 cuda, that was cool?. Then I saw a cybertruck, I think I threw up a little?.
  8. Yellow and white always looks great on 55-57 t-birds, a personal favorite of my mom's and mine ?.
  9. Thank you Michael, Bob, Pete, and Larry for your comments. I appreciate it.
  10. Yes, I ment to say that. They don't make it in ho anymore, I found this at a train show for a great deal. It also has a soundtraxx tsunami 2 in it, that decoder sounds amazing.
  11. This is my favorite locomotive. I've been wanting a brass one for a long time but there so expensive ?. I've got a set of crescent limited cars from ihc (8) that I bought off of ebay for $200 and want one of these to pull them, still got to convert them to knuckle though (looking at kadee 505's). Right now I pull them with this.
  12. Wow if you told me this was a glue bomb, I wouldn't believe you. Great job ?.
  13. Got to working on mine this week. I wanted a tri carb setup on a SBF. Something like this. So I combined the flathead intake and the sbf intake to get this. For the wheels and tires I wanted a vintage look with halibrands. So i decided on the kit halibrands, pie crust slicks, and bias plie tires. So this is what I came up with. Oh and this is my first attempt at chopping a car, this is how it's going. Thanks for looking. Elliot
  14. Looks amazing, I'll definitely be following! This car reminds me of a car I have from my grandfather, he built this sometime in the 70s.
  15. Cool. I just put mine on a socket that's the right size then hold up a pice of sand paper to it. I start with something coarse like 600 grit then work my way up to 1000.
  16. Wow that engine is a looker! Great job, what did you use for the an fittings?
  17. I always love foreign american cars. And this one is cool, nice job!
  18. Awesome job on this car, I love it!
  19. I just got this one rapped up this afternoon. I'm pretty proud of it, it was my first time ever polishing a paint job and I think it's not half bad. This is the re-issued MPC grumpy's vega. Upgraded with more accurate details, including the intake which came from the parts box. I adjusted the headers to make them correct for a SBC and put bigger collectors on them. The license plate was made with a pice of scrap plastic and a printed plate. I tried a new technique with the wheels where I put some matte clear on and some black-wash. I really like the effect. Here's the link to the WIP thread. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/191590-more-accurate-mpc-72-grumpys-vega/ Thanks for looking, and as always, comments are much appreciated. Elliot
  20. I'm calling this one completed! I will post more pictures in under glass.
  21. Man that sounds awful ?. I have definitely had experiences like that but nothing as bad as that.?
  22. Saw this absolutely SICK VW bug. I love the paint, wheels, and especially the tail pipe.
  23. Just saw a TANK on the highway. It was also on the back of a commercial truck and flatbed, nothin' military. Not somethin' you see everyday
  24. What does it mean exactly by 7in1, more parts? Usually it's 3in1. There must be a lot of custom parts in it.
