  1. Remember the Ford Probe, was to be the next gen Mustang at the time but Ford got alot of slack about it being front wheel drive so, i heard anyway. The Probe didn't do much for me then and still don't.
  2. They have a facebook page that shows they were at I-Hobby show. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.374796169289860.1073741829.110897742346372&type=3#!/photo.php?fbid=374796469289830&set=a.374796169289860.1073741829.110897742346372&type=3&theater Amazon has them too. They show Red and Sarge as in stock. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=zvezda%20cars#/ref=sr_nr_n_1?rh=n%3A6925836011%2Ck%3Azvezda+cars&keywords=zvezda+cars&ie=UTF8&qid=1381259978&rnid=2941120011
  3. Bring it on. Hope they release it this time. So many more cars that could be done with this kit, be it 64's or any early to mid 60's Mopars with the chassis' in these kits.
  4. Nice looks great. Thanks for sharing
  5. I started another model. It will be a replica of the car prepared by Smokey Yunick for Herb Thomas to run the 1956 Southern 500. I started with a Revell 1956 Chevy Del Ray that I got in a trade with Chuck Most, thanks Chuck. I modified the trim on the rear quarters from the Del Ray to a 150 trim model, to the best of my eye anyways. I have primed, painted, cleared and bare-metal foiled the trim. I have started to modifiy the interior by cutting out the rear seat and filling that in with sheet plastic, no pics of this at this time. Got chassis painting started. Next up will be decaling.

  6. I will be watching this. Love these cars. So many possible color choices with these from the factory that just look right. Great colors by the way.
  7. Cool. I like it.
  8. Updates?
  9. Cool. what orange did you use?
  10. Awesome. Glad to see you back at the bench.
  11. Boyd's I know alot of Boyd's cars was designed by Foose but I was referring to Boyd's later cars after Foose left.
  12. Some Foose cars are ok but for the most part I can pass on them. Now, Boyd's cars look nice but I know some people didn't care much for him either. I always liked the 56 Chevy "Junkyard Dog" that they did and the 63 Max Wedge Dodge. They were some nice cars.
  13. I just dug out my Dirty Donny Superbee and wow. If Round2 would have went back and cleaned up the mold for the body, that would have been nice. I could shave myself with some of the moldlines on the quarters of the body/ Don't get me wrong I love having these 60's and 70's Mopars and we need more of them.
  14. Always thought that was a nice looking car. Great job. Love it.
  15. Looks sharp.
  16. Nice can't wait til I can get my hands on these. Love the 55 will love the 56.
  17. Nice great looking model.
  18. Nice looks great. Thanks for sharing.
  19. Just found another topic with the pdf attached that 1320Wayne sent someone else. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46967&hl=%2Bfunny+%2Bcar#entry606498
  20. Yes I did. Hadn't had a chance until Saturday night. Thanks
  21. Has anybody posted a tutorial on how to get a proper ride height for a Revell Funny Car? I have looked some but couldn't find it if someone had. Any help out there?
  22. It was at the closet one to me last Saturday. That store is in Hanover, PA. They had the Rat Roaster, the 1.16 Petty Charger, the polar lights funny cars and a few other new items but this store didn't have the Fireball Roberts 57 Ford though where others talk about there store having it. As a side note I did notice a sticker on the shelf for the AMT Grumpy's Toy 66 Nova for when they decide to release it.
  23. Was there ever a kit or resin done of the 1963 Corvette customized by George Barris called the "Asteroid"? I see Corvettes at Carlise is having there at there show along with the Pininfarina Rondine Corvette concept. The Asteroid is pretty cool looking, I like it.

  24. I can't remember what the diecast were that I used to see in my favorite hobby shop but, I do remember some of the Sun Star deicast looking like a boomarang. They arched up in the middle, looked like the nose and rears were sagging. Maisto had some like this too, Welly was the worst of the arched diecast. I seen the 60 Plymouths and 59 Dodges up at the Chrysler Carlisle show this year and was very impressed with them. Haven't bought any 1/18 scale diecast for a while but I may have to buy these. I like the look of there 59 Oldsmobiles too.
