  1. 1. An ACCURATE VW 1971 Superbeetle, the one with the flat windshield. The aoshoima version is really messed up. 2. The McMullen 32 Ford roadster. The Rat Roaster is so close its really do-able. 3. The very first version of the Little Coffin.This one:
  2. Only real "issue" from the orginal, is that it had 6 carbs, and the re-release has 3. It makes a big difference in the overall appearance.
  3. Ck out "Korkut Varol" He's a genius. http://korkutvarol.com/
  4. I think you might want to go here. They should know. http://www.layitlow.com/forums/30-model-cars/ Or ask this guy. http://www.jevries.com/
  5. Sweet stuff Tim! I love "Fosters" !
  6. Ck out the box top Casey posted....."easy to assemble"..... Yeah, right
  7. I'm not sure about spray bombs, but acrylic through an airbrush responds well to a heat gun or hair dryer to help the adhesion. Oh, and I hate Rustoleum. I primered with that garbage, and weeks later it still wasnt dry.
  8. Thanks for the props Pete and Bill. This was my original version, but fixing the radiator shell was problematic, and putting the moon tank in front made it look goofy. I like the way it is now, with the hood and no tank. I'm planning on painting it with the new Testor's Aztec pearl green, close to the original color, but being acrylic, very easy to spray.
  9. I built the original version somewhere around 1967 perhaps? The only real issue I found was the doors didnt fit too well, even back then. I would have liked the body to be molded with the doors shut. Getting that separate cowl lined up was a bear.
  10. Outstanding Mr. B! That idea for the "red heads" is really cool and sets the 34 apart from the norm. Have a great time at the NNL today. Maybe I'll make it there next year.
  11. Kris is a great guy. Add to the list Tom Geiger. Yesterday I got my FREE NNL license plates from him. The guys like him that pay it forward really add to our hobby. And kind of off topic, I've traded from Canada to Japan and Australia. Thx to the interweb we really have become a world wide community.
  12. You mean there's ANOTHER forum?
  13. Here's "Gators" page http://members.fotki.com/gator-gallery/about/
  14. I'm old and co-dependent. The day I didnt have a sweetheart lifted my soul. However my ex g/f and best friend is bringing treat tomorrow. Ummm, truffles!
  15. I think the AMT 1929 Ford roadster has a nice one. Looks just like this pic, but with a molded in fuel pump.
  16. I got all mine from PSF Hobbies on ebay. But the real question is what is the part number for the big and little chrome reverse?
  17. Looking at the color Casey, I think it is original. I still have the hood and doors from the original issue, and the color is spot on. I have the entire chrome tree too, and the flash is not more than any 60's kit.
  18. Uh, wow. Been thinking about those Billy things myself. Great display Ron!
  19. I like Fotki, pics load faster and I prefer their format.
  20. Never a kit of the Beach Boys, but either Franklin or Danbury Mint did one.
  21. I'd love to see the McMullen roadster, but I think I have already said that. Version B: But imagine the older more traditional version A. Imagine if this could be built OOB! Both are real close to the Rat Roaster. Revelle already has the six carbs in the Woody, the small block in the Roaster, the front tires and wheels from the rat rods series works, the Miss Deal slicks fit perfectly. Tool up some new rear wheels, radius rods, and its a go!
  22. Amazingly outstanding work. The piping between the fenders and body is an especially nice touch rarely seen.
