  1. Interestingly, that is the exact same formula I used to justify purchasing 19 kits during my last HLJ order, except I had to change the colour to account for the overseas shipping.
  2. It never fails to amaze me how small older 'big' cars look in a sea of modern vehicles.
  3. I have some tires from an old 1/20 MPC Corvette, and I'm pretty sure they are the same tires. OD = 1.220" ID = .750" Width = .525"
  4. Welcome to the forum Marshall. Looks like your pics above showed up. Cool kit.
  5. Still whacked-out, I'm afraid. Nice work on the little critter. Thanks for posting this. I had no idea anyone ever produced a kit of this little weirdo. So weird it's cool? Maybe. I can tell you for sure that if I owned one, I would definitely cruise down to the next Cars & Coffee with it. I bet it would turn more heads than the Lambos and Porsches.
  6. What a stunning coupe. Lovely work here. The integration of the Ford roof looks perfectly natural. I'm digging the golf door. Very nice work!
  7. Count me in!! My Europa is a Special, so the same as JPS except it's not black. It's my favourite Lotus road car also, though I would very much like to have a Super Seven. At 6'2" you can fit if you are long in the legs. If you are long in the torso, it will be an uncomfortable squeeze. I know a Europa owner who is 6'5" and manages to fit, and he is long in the legs. He is also in his 20s, so is much more supple and bendy than I am.
  8. The article is primarily about the fake Eleanor '67 Mustang, though perhaps the principle applies to real Eleanor as well. Denise Halicki (copyright claimant) is mentioned, though real Eleanor isn't. Annoyingly, by virtue of the article, the uninitiated might believe that the '67 Mustang thing is Eleanor, but that is the typical incompetence of online articles. Revell can make all the '67 Eleanor kits it wants, but I won't take my place in line until they produce an original Eleanor which, fortunately, is entirely plausible. If the info in the article applies, I think it is even likely.
  9. More cool stuff. I'm digging that 370z.
  10. Good looking builds, Kaci. Nice work.
  11. That's one mean Demon. I really dig the colour. Nicely done.
  12. Good looking Demon, James. Bummer about the decals.
  13. Oh yes! Very cool to see one. This kit is at the very top of my 'most wanted' list.
  14. The excellence continues. The figure looks awesome, and the illuminated cube is a great touch.
  15. Nice work. Love the roof swap. Looks like you sorted the blemish on the deck lid.
  16. Welcome to the forum, Shawn.
  17. Welcome to the forum, Raj.
  18. Welcome to the forum, David.
  19. Welcome to our little sandbox, Kaci.
  20. Welcome to the forum, Chris.
  21. No. According to scalemates, it was last issued in 2016.
  22. That's my planned upgrade once my Aztec wears out.
  23. Matt, that is indeed a fine looking airbrush. Well designed pre-set trigger adjustments make dual-action airbrush use as simple as a single-action. Five years ago I bought the Harder & Steenbeck Infinity CR, the most lovely airbrush I have ever held in my hand. It atomizes exceptionally well and lays paint down beautifully. It has a trigger pre-set feature as well, though appears somewhat different than the Ultra 2024. Nonetheless, I find it easy to use. Though it has more adjustability than my old Badger, with the clever trigger pre-set function, it is no more difficult to use. In some ways, it is easier.
