  1. i like where this is going could you give me a few tips on how you did the weathering, im building a daytona that needs to look like that and im bot quite sure how to get there
  2. i like where your going with this if i could offer a suggestion, i think a set of snowflake rims would really help pull the look together
  3. looks like your off to a good start brandon if i could give you a little money saving tip on the decals, i noticed you used the entire sheet for 4 little decals when i print decals i always print a few tests on regular paper once i am pleased with the test i will cut out a pece of decal sheet just a little larger then i need and tape it over the test print that way im only using what i need and i can "stretch" a decal sheet a lot further
  4. anyone install one of these yet ? i know when mike did the turbos there were some really nice pics of a DOHC HEMI floating around, it would be nice to see these installed aswell
  5. that (in part) is what is keeping me out i have a hard enough time finishing ONE build period, but commiting to finishing 4 builds for one CBP...there is a good chance these fellers will show up before im done
  6. yeah, i was just being sarcastic though since there are no shot if the movie of the car with the hood open i just might paint the bottom of the hood CPP
  7. added to favorites thanks so much (not i wonder if i should start of plum crazy purple)
  8. ok, i finally found a car i can build got it in on a trade and should be here by the end of the week this is the movie model
  9. this oughta be interesting
  10. the first one is always tought but your off to a good start there are many models i build that over time i came back to and redid you'll get the hang of it soon enough and as for scotland, there are at least two other members here who are from there, cazxr2 and hammers both live in the same hamlet there
  11. i rememer a while ago me and the wifey were talking about how old the cat was getting and how he had trouble even jumping on the bed well, 2 days later i left a piece of chicken on the counter, well, our old cat jumped up on that counter without as much as a rolling start

    69 nova

    looks good i think the decals make the "paint" looks very beleivable now go and build a mopar
  16. not just in the model room, he also monitors my online escapades
  17. i guess one of my favorite moments was the first time i took my wife to paris (which alone was quite the achievement on her part, i HATE france and paris, it is the one city i know where you can go on any of its streets and smell open sewer, but i digress) i was 18 at the time and the proud owner of a 1990 opel E kadett 4 door (you might know it as a pontiac lemans) i had done a few things to the car, including replacing the front seats with a set from a GTI model which had recaro sports seats in it with the GTI being a 2 door these seats had the little lever on the side which allowed the backs to tilt forward to provide passengers acces to the back seat. anyway, we left for paris when i got out of work at about 5 and by 2 in the morning the eifel tower was within sight. i pulled over on the side of the road and popped the trunk i pulled the levers on both seats so they lay towards the dash and unrolled a twin size mattras over the back seat me and my then girlfriend spend our first night in paris camped out in my kadett on the side of the street
  18. now you see, if you build quality cars they last long and have plenty of time to build up rust on those nice old parts not like some manufactures "cough" chevy "cough" ford "cough" who put together cheap junk that breaks down and needs to be replaced before the clearcoat even wears of (and dont blame it on the clearcoat iether)
  19. ah yes, the race for second place AFTER ye olde mopars
  20. so about 2 minutes into the build i had to completly change directions i screwed up the paint and there is NO way i can pull of the theme i had in mind so im going a 70s style pro-touring it will have a upgraded interior with racing seats and gauges, aftermarket rims (lambos) and maybe a different engine (not sure on that) here are some shots (underside with the molded exhaust removed and custom build Qtip rear axle) the body painted and custom decals applied
  21. here is a shot of the decals in place im pretty pleased with it so far, but they will look better cleared and with the edges sanded down
  22. you mean, what type of car would i use for war and famine ? all depends on what "feel" you want the build to have war could be anything from the type of cars colonel dekker used to ride around in on the Ateam to a fully equiped tank famine...what about one of those chuckwagon trucks that sell food at the constructionsites, all rusty and run down ? and for sickness you could build a rusted out ambulance or overflowing hearse
  23. the pale horse is more of a greenish colour in the origenal greek that is the one who stands for pestilence and death (which is made clear by it rider) revelation 6:8 : And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (them being all horses, the sword belongs the the red horse, warfare, the hunger belongs to the black horse who will control the worlds resources and death (being a more natural death, like decease) to the pale horse)
  24. the white horse is the anti christ (rev.6:2) as Christ will come later riding on a white horse (rev. 19:11)so the anti christ comes on a white horse to decieve people into thinking he is the actual Christ he will come fort conqeuring and to conquer. this is mainly talking about a political rise to power, as you see he has a bow (symbol of militairy power) and he is given a crown (symbol of authorithy. the fact the crown is given to him shows he has no authorthy of his own. he also has no arrows with his bow and so he conquers by making false treaties a lot of this coincides with the prophecies in daniel about the little horn and the goat if you ask me, this white horse will need to have a almost glorious paintjob, after all, it is the impersonation of Christ maybe a pearl white with tons of chrome, a very clean build for certain the prhase "whitewashed tomb" comes to mind ive heard this description of the anthchrist once: . The Leadership of a Washington or a Lincoln2. The Eloquence of a Franklin Roosevelt 3. The Charm of a Theodore Roosevelt 4. The Charisma of a John F. Kennedy 5. The Popularity of a Dwight Eisenhower 6. The Political Savvy of a Lyndon Johnson 7. The Intellect of a Thomas Jefferson one more thing, since the prophecy of the statue in daniel makes it clear he comes forth out of the reunited roman empire (think a unified europe) you may want to consider making this particular car european
  25. dont mention it i do like the way it came out but it wasnt what i had invisioned but ill get over it i painted the hood, splitter and rear wing (kitbashed) gloss black spend the last 3 days looking for some decals and got zip so i figured, forget it, ill make my own i found a picture of a set of strobe stripes on the webs and a cool "GTX" graphic that im gonna ad to it the stripes will run over the roof and come down behind the doors then at the bottom they will sit on top of the GTX decal on the rear quarter panels printed them of this morning, should have some shots tonight
