  1. Wow,....this last picture...this last picture! By the way, what kind of rims are these ones?, Who make them? Simón P. Rivera Torres Here's what it looks like with tires and rims on.
  2. From what I've been seeing and reading, it looks like it was a great show with lots of fun. I hope to be there next year. By the way, if any of you guys can email me a next year's flyer with the exact date I will aprecciate a lot. Again, my congrats to you guys for celebrate this great model car show. Simón P. Rivera Torres
  3. One of the best shows I've been in the states!. I was there in 2001, after the towers event, and, despite that situation, the L.I.A.R.S. gang did everything to make all the atendants fell great. My best wishes for all you guys! Best Regards Simón P. Rivera Torres
  4. I guess I won't able to make it, due to the high prices on air tickets, since I've been trying this just one week ahead this show. I've been trying real hard to find a good deal night and day, but aiadidn't have any luck. My advice for you guys that posted the flyer and related show's info, next year, post the the show info with much more time ahead. If you guys should do this, without any doubt I would make it, but, just around 2 weeks it's almost imposible with the high prices on air tickets today because of the gas prices. I just wish the best for all you guys there, and, please, as soon as you guys have the next year show's date, let me know. I guess for sure I'll be there next year, and also crossing my fingers, the steelers will play local that weekend in a Sunday night football! Best Regards Simón P. Rivera Torres
  5. I'm almost there...let's see what happens! Simón P. Rivera Torres
  6. Simply amazzzzzzing! Good job! Simón P. Rivera Torres
  7. How far away(minutes & miles) from the airport?...From Heinz field? Simón P. Rivera Torres
  8. This will be one of the big highlights of that weekend, my dream could come true, a Steelers game in person right at the Heinz Field!...
  9. I guess this wasn't the answer I was looking for! Simón P. Rivera Torres

    HOT ROD

    Looks awesome so far, I also prefer the original look, but, this one it's also great. Bestial como siempre! Simón P. Rivera Torres
  12. Jmmm....good to know it, my friend!...thank you! Simón
  13. Well, as you said, maybe the 928-S with the V-8, and I would like to see it, because, a 928 GT-S, it's a hard one to beat with that '71 Nova. How fast you mean, starting?, because in the long run these german cars are hard to beat. Simón P. Rivera Torres
  14. Good news, the hard to get Mr Color line from Gunze Sangyo it's back trough greatmodels.com after a couple of years out of our shores. I guess that for the price (just around $2) is one of the best lacquer paints to buy. It's not only that, if not that, most japanese kits comes with their paint numbers on its color chart, if not that you have more than 200+ colors to chose. Here'the link for it: http://www.greatmodels.com/~smartcart/cgi/...rms=guzmc+stock Simón P. Rivera Torres

    Mine ended in my garage as my daily driver! Simón P. Rivera Torres
  16. Just give me a call or send me an email to see if we can do something on Sunday night....maybe a Hot Salsa gig, like last time you were here,...do you remember?...yeah right! Simón P Rivera Torres
  17. Oh man, I just only wish to have my hands over this kit! Simón P. Rivera Torres
  18. Yes, Ariel, you're completly right!...the only thing it's that now I have to deal with linkage spring that gave me so much trouble to place, but, things has to be done right. So, I'm figuring out how to make this without damage the part. Thanks a lot for the observation! Cuidate pana! Simón P. Rivera Torres
  19. The remarkable Porsche 356 Fujimi engine, one of the best ever produced in plastic, allows plenty of room to make some improvements. The only sad notice is that most of this extra parts added won't be noticed when the model is completed. Let's see what happened.... I started adding the 3 wires for the alternator into one bigger engine wrap. Here it can be seen the voltage regulator with it's computer generated decal, and the Mr. Model coil, also with a Bosh comp. genr. decal. Both coil and regulator were detailed with photoetch bolts from Model Car Garage. It's almost a joke to me that, after so much hours just on this area, everything looks so easy. Thanks for watching! Simón P. Rivera Torres
  20. Here's just a quick look to see how engine and transaxle looks already in place in the chassis. It fits pretty well, quasi Tamiya way. Now, it just need a few wires and nuts in order to detail up the brake lines. Also, it can be noticed the computer generated classic Koni shocks decal on the shocks, this couldn't be missed. Next step: engine wiring....
  21. Very nice & clean job!...hats off, please! Simón P. Rivera Torres
  22. If it is, this is what I call a magnificent example of a Box Stock job! Great model! Simón
  23. Here again, just for a brief update on the build of this Porsche model car. It's not much, but, is a very important stage on the completion of the engine. Like the engine block, it also has been weathered with the black The Detailer product and some Bare Metal Foil that has been added at the CV boots for a little more of realism. Here are the pictures... Here are some overall pictures of the transaxle... Let's go closer... Enjoy'em Simón P. Rivera Torres
  24. You can use Model Master IMP Japan Army Navy Green #2116. Simón P. Rivera Torres
