  1. Very cool. That's one sweet little mini-bike.
  2. Semantics. For those who wish to blindly adhere to what the marketing department put on the label, then ok, it's an ink. Otherwise, it's an alcohol based acrylic paint.
  3. Molotow is an alcohol based acrylic chrome paint.
  4. Hey, very cool project. Love it. Don't forget the burn mark on the seat where Rudnick extinguishes his cigar.
  5. I have several pin vises, including one similar to the photo. I bought this style specifically for use in scratchbuilding. The hex design of the collet nuts facilitates making round tube or rod into hex tube (to make nuts) or hex rod. Chuck a piece of tube or rod in the pin vise, then clamp the pin vise horizontally into a bench vise, with vise jaws gripping the pin vise by the hex flats. File a flat on the top surface of your rod/tube material, then release the bench vise, turn the pin vise by one set of flats, and re-clamp in the bench vise. File another flat across the top surface of the rod/tube, release the bench vise, and repeat until all six sides of the rod/tube have been flattened. For those who like to have several pin vises around, picking up one of this type may be useful. Mine has become the 'go to' pin vise on my bench (Note: Mine is not the brand pictured. The one I have looks exactly like the one sold by MicroMark).
  6. Keep in mind that any Chrysler option will have the opposite cylinder bank off-set.
  7. It seems to me that there are several kits with injected Cammers, but the only one coming readily to mind is the AMT altered wheelbase Mustang, issued in several iterations.
  8. A couple of the Fujimi wheel/tire sets have the GT40 tires, if that helps. I know this set has them Campagnolo Wheel Fujimi 192925 (super-hobby.com) Most places are out of stock right now, but worth keeping an eye out for.
  9. Thanks for posting that link. Very interesting read.
  10. Beautiful Charger. This is looking great. Stunning paint.
  11. Coming along great, Kurt. Nice custom mods with a good eye for style. I'm really digging the crafty work integrating the front flares with the 'eyebrow' character line, and the front suspension really looks the business.
  12. Welcome to the forum.
  13. Welcome to the forum, Mikey..
  14. Welcome to the forum, Tony.
  15. Nice Olds. I think it sits just right. As you say, period correct. Nicely done.
  16. What a neat build. Definitely the nicest I’ve seen from this kit. Very nicely done.
  17. Nice Torino. Turned out great. Nothing at all wrong with a fourteen day build. Congrats on getting one done. That will look great on the shelf.
  18. Good looking Mustang. Nice resurrection of the old build.
  19. Nice work. It's good to see one of these old JoHan kits getting the attention it deserves.
  20. Just re-found this build, glad to see it back. Things are looking great. Nice details, and those wheels look fantastic.
  21. Looking good. The thing sits perfectly. Nice work sorting this challenging kit. I'm following...
  22. Cool Caddy! Love the look. This may be the first of this kit I've seen built. I often wondered how these Hasegawa Caddys built up. Looks great!
  23. This is looking great, Jim. Nice attention to detail. Good clean work.
  24. Great photos, thanks for sharing. A very cool collection of cars. Stuff sure is shiny there.
