those floormats are a nice touch when I first saw the flocking on the floorboard I didn't think it would work out but once there is some paint on there, it looks really good on a side note, what does that 1:1 run, a 400?

pro mod, pro sportsman, something like that http://www.ebay.com/itm/Revell-57-Chevy-Pro-Sportsman-Soff-Seal-1-25-Scale-Kit-USA-Model-Car-Swap-Meet-/321954587226?hash=item4af5fd225a I wanna say ive seen a pink version too

I did a flip flop hinge tutorial on here ages ago it might help you get that front to sit and flip nicely

i have one of those in my display case, right next to my twin turbo supercharged dual overhead cam hemi hazard county sherrif cruiser my boy build that one when he was 4 great starter kit

same here someone had a pickup truck build off one day, it had to be a RWD V8 fullsize pickup...so I jokingly said I would mod a bug to enter in and they called my bluff I can post some pictures if your interested

I had completely forgotten about the danas the hemi cuda had a 8 3/4 if it had a 727 transmission, if it was a 4 speed, then the dana was a mandatory upgrade funny how much the 7 1/4 and the dana look alike in that scale

is that a 7.25 rear? I hope your not running anything bigger then a 318 in there

pretty impressive

could be worse...they could have started out with something valuable, like a mopar

weathering looks great is it all paint and washes, or did you also use pastels and such?

gotcha I guess "charger streetmachine" didn't narrow it down very far

are we talking about the "one run of fun" edition that came out last year, before they redid the tooling? or is this whatever they changed the tooling too? if it is the first, there are several of them in the "big boys" section

I bought myself a snapkit of an X wing fighter (not the prissy ones from the new movie, but the cool ones, that still had the four turbines on it) ive had an idea rolling around in my head for a while and I think it might be able to get me back into modeling (something about kids)

put a model car on a sheet of 220 grit sandpaper and see how it looks change the grit up or down until it looks right, and then start weathering it

yeah, ford was so proud of their little sierra they marketed it in the US as a merkur lol nice model though I remember seeing a few of the cosworth version growing up

im sure I don't need to tell you this but take your time beveling the edges of that hood to close nicely over that shaker

lol, no kidding they seem to think every mopar ever build came with a hemi (even that 75 duster you need to send me the dash out off has one)

pay no mind to this post, these are real pictures in adding for my own reference

nice job grasshopper almost looks better then the real deal maybe I ougtha have you build my duster for me

the name doesn't ring a bell but that picture sure looks familiar

not a whole lot to show but im chipping at her (mostly trying to gather parts) I got some wheels done started a little prep work on the body, mostly sanding casting lines and filling in the holes for the spoiler why is it that every model I want to put a spoiler on I need to drill the holes myself and the one model that doesn't get a spoiler has the holes molded into the trunk? I also started working on the oil pan the 1:1 has a milodon unit on it (if I never get to use one of their products again it will be too soon) so I started copying one in scale the oil pan might be wasted effort since there is a good chance I will rip off the milodon and go with something a little bit higher quality instead

we'll just get rid of them discs and run drums all the way around...if its good enough for my 71 duster im sure it will be good enough for an import
