  1. Hey now, put me down for at least a Case of the 70 Furies too:D
  2. For some people that haven't noticed that Model cars come in all shapes and styles. I saw a Maisto H-3 Ute R/C car and thought out loud to myself, Why Not??? I was really hoping to use the Escalade but it is too wide but I think it can be done with the Monogram S-10. Interior needs to be stretched and the frame the same. I shortened the S-10 bed to fit The glass is just Black but it is flat, so it would be easy to make. This probley won't get much farther this yr but it's an Idea for those that haven't thought about or looking for something else to do
  3. Great looking Escalade Trailer looks really good but your right, that is a weird place to put the ramps afterwards.. Nice work..
  4. I'm sure your friend will appreciate the thought. For being a Testors kit, it doesn't look all that bad but how does it go together? I had one and the tires fell apart. Be watching to see how it goes.
  5. Great looking Chop. Interior is looking good.
  6. That is looking really good. Great work on the Conversion. Wish they made them that way, I don't have a 1:1 to go off of. BTW: I love the GTA Firebirds. I have one of my own I'm building (model that is. )
  7. O Man, Now ya spoiled the mag for me. I only just picked it up today. Now your a Published Modelbuilder. Great looking grill and Very Unique bumper
  8. Thanks a lot George, ya always seem to be right on top of things. I don't care what anybody says about ya, Your A-Okay in my book..
  9. Why Not, ya got enough room on your plate for another build? Holy Cow BigBlockLyle That is Soo Late 70s to early 80s Time to Tub it out and drop it. Or just take the Engine cover out and stuff in a Hemi with a Hi-rise Paint looks good on it, it must be an older version with the details still visible.
  10. Nobody likes a Bragger I find the Japanese Version better looking than the US Version. Those Dang 5mph crash Bumpers just don't help it.
  11. That really looks cool, Just how does one go about getting a hold of it? Sorry, I haven't done much in Resin. Yet
  12. Cool, I've thought about doing something like that too if I can get an Extra Dodge Van. I'm not too sure about the AppleSauce Paver. That'll make some awfully dirty AppleSauce. Duct tape would be easy, just get some Dull BMF I'd think? I did see the build of the Red Green Van Thread. On a Sad note, I've never watched the Red Green show. Even tho I thought I might have ran across One episode, Maybe, Long Long time ago.
  13. Gotcha on that one. I just wanted to see the mess they made. They just fudged the grill like monogram did on the Ramcharger. A little from column A (1977) A little from Column B (1980) Mix them up and ya get No Particular yr but a few all in one. Thanks.
  14. Johan would be good ones to get. If ya find any Dodge van kits, I'll trade ya something for it or them Also any kit ya just don't see many of, Pintos Vegas Mopars
  15. Interior wheelwells are tubbed and they really don't leave alot of footroom before or after. You only need room for the Go Pedal. I'm also using a 4 spd tranny so I will be using paddle shifters and an Auto clutch. Or, it's a Automatic 4spd? IDK. One of my issues is doing the front suspension. If anybody has an Idea of maybe a kitbash or something, I'm open for ideas. Tubbed interior tub, Only kidding around with it tho, it won't be sitting this low. (another project?) Don't pay attention to the brake calipers, they're just rolling around for now. Stock Interior tub Lets so your Vans Count and Lyle I'm not going to opt for a Community build tho, I haven't finished 2 already.
  16. Nissan Cube- Check (btw: love the looks of the Japanese version. The US version, not soo much) Isuzu VehiCross- Check Toyota Prius- Check, check aaaand Check Yup, I'm covered Say what ya will (it is a free country after all) I don't (and won't) own a Prius but the newer ones (to me)look better than the older ones. But I'll just keep my Scion xD that gets 30+mpg (if I keep my foot out of it )
  17. YOur just a movin and Groovin on these builds. Great looking Monaco. Paint came out Great. Nice filler panel unda da hood.
  18. The painted Wheels look Very Sharp A lot of work for the Radiator and it looks good. Sharp looking Valve covers. paint is looking Very nice. Are you going to use Flocking for carpet or just paint?
  19. Paint, Color, BMF, Wheels & tires look Perfect from my house. Great looking Chevelle and Great Job on it..
  20. Well dang, I guess they just fudged the grill like monogram did on the Ramcharger. A little from column A (1977) A little from Column B (just says the 80's) Not any Particular yr but a few all in one. I have this planned when ever I can get another one. Thanks.
  21. Rob Z, DoubleD Thanks, I don't know how they'd do the cage so I'm just winging it. I was gonna try and reuse a Nascar cage but they all seem a bit on the short side BTW: I just google Ford van and Vista Cruiser roof and there it was. I love Google, My G/F Hates it. she says I use it waaay too much. My Memory just aint as sharp as Ole Double D or he lives in a Library Foxer The Detailer Black wash really does help a Chrome grill look Better. I was trying to figure out just what yr the grill really is to see how to detail it better. gray07 Icon Does www.vannin.com have a Photo gallery or is it just hunt and peck? I'm already looking for a 1:1 van Harder to find than I thought. The Creative Explorer Color wise, I'm thinking an Old Ambulance, White w/orange maybe. Unsure If I'm age it or make it shine. I don't know tho, it sure looks good in Primer also still on a wheel hunt.
  22. Great looking Truck Paint looks good. The custom CF hood scoop looks really good on it. Nice work.
  23. Well, I for one, Can't say anything against lifted truck. I love'em High. That's a good looking truck ya got there Chad. Gotta love a good Train Horn over the Factory Wimpy horn I think you should contact Ma's Resins and get some nice soft 44"inch or bigger tires. Because Bigger is Better. http://public.fotki.com/cnaind/truck-tires--wheels/off-road--pickup-tires/
  24. Weird-O-Meter? I thought I was just thinking outside of the box (not the round room) I love weird and the Matador is just that. Engine looks Great but should the throttle return spring be facing the other way? Wheels? Well, Just gonna have to wait till it's finish to really judge if the wheels work with it. The nike wheels black with a red lip sounds good but Wide whites could also look good. I wear out my wheels before the model is ever done (if done)
  25. That is a Nice looking Escort. Paint and color looks Great. I'd use a bit smaller wheel but over all, Excellent work..
