  1. You could take a look at the 36 ford I think it has a spare.
  2. I like that you get 2 different hoods.
  3. Scott, as you use your new Dremel you will discover how to use it and what accessories you will need . The drum sander gets the most use by far, opening wheel wells, thinning out the edges , deburring , etc. there is also a smaller drum sander that is useful as well . the next most used is a small thin metal saw blade I use it for cutting plastic and alum, brass copper tubing and cutting window posts for top chops and also (after a lot of practice) cuts on the body for sectioning . I like using some of the round shaped grinders for removing trim and badges . the polishing wheel for any white metal parts you may have .
  4. Pretty good for knockin'the cobwebs off. I like the concept and execution.
  5. How did you make those boots?
  6. Revell made one for the T.V. show the saint , also Hasegawa made a couple .
  7. http://www.kandrreplicas.co.uk/ These guys make a series 3 in 1/24th .
  8. No Randy , That was a 420 .
  9. Wait , didn't airfix do one in 1/32nd scale ?
  10. I think Dean Milano may have turned a toy into a nice replica at one point , I don't remember a kit of one though . revell made an xjs based on the t.v. show " The Saint" .
  11. That's cool, sounds like it was a really fun time. Those are some hard core modelers, 1983 not a lot of aftermarket or even regular market to inspire but it looks like a bunch of very well built models
  12. Is Scratch building out of the question? It looks like a pretty basic shape you could bend out of wire hammer the ends to flatten so you can drill a hole add a pin and paint .because I can't think of where I've seen them in a kit.
  13. Thanks for sharing this , I hadn't seen this one before . I don't build these but I always appreciate them when they are done up nice like this one.
  14. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=95470&page=1&#entry1298876 plus it is featured in this month's hot rod magazine. Sweet car and video
  15. I must be getting old are these vintage or rare? The box looks pretty beat up so I guess I don't see where the escalated price comes in.
  16. Also if you find yourself having a little color sneaking under the tape, you can use a clear coat prior to the color to help seal up the tape lines. As with all new techniques practice is required don't be dismayed if it doesn't work the first time .
  17. What kit is it from? Sometimes the rims go in the tire in a specific way . I know that this has probably already occurred to you or doesn't apply here but perhaps someone else doesn't know.
  18. \V/_ Sad indeed.
  19. If your using the easy off make sure it's in a well vented area the stuff is nasty. It works well but use gloves and a respirator .
  20. After checking out some prewar Plymouth I wish they would've picked something earlier like 1935 .mid thirties look great. Also maybe it's just me but the 1941 woody and the sedans look way better than the coupe. It just doesn't lend itself to customizing very well . I have several of these but just never had a good idea on how to build it.
  21. They are only $4.75 , which is a bargain if you take the time involved to make them into consideration. Dirtmodeler is a great company to order from fast delivery and very reasonable prices . As far as making them yourself it kind of depends on what materials you have on hand. It would probably be easier to find a set of rims that has the bead locks on them already. One idea that occurred to me is using paper to make them just cut it out and strengthen it with an epoxy then paint . I can't think of a cheaper way to do it hope this is helpful.
  22. Nomad from "Sin City"
  23. Well it looks interesting , I suppose it depends on the melting point of the compounds. I'd also like to hear if anyone has used it.
  24. Which kits came with these decals?
