To clarify, this is a Hemi-only kit? I think the inclusion of the V6 (which I guess quite a few departments use) would've been neat, an allowed for building a more realistic unmarked and some civilian cars. As to lack of weapons- I wouldn't be suprised if some group of moonbats, or quite possibly, the firearm manufacturers, and, again, quite possibly under pressure from said moonbats, forbade their inclusion, as models are "children's toys" after all, dontcha know? Looks like a nice kit. I may pick one up and do a Mass. State Police car. Charlie Larkin

I thought all the hot air in 3 000 posts was the sailboat fuel! Charlie Larkin

Fantastic. The shot with the two cars in there really made it. Very nice work. Charlie Larkin

Wow! Not only an understanding wife, but all I can say is... duplicate her for the rest of us! Charlie Larkin

Absolutely perfect. Very nicely-done, Carl. Charlie Larkin

Very cool, Terry. Charlie Larkin

Coming out very nicely, Mike. I like that vintage full-size Chevy. And they look very nice in blue. Charlie Larkin

The stuff 3-M sells that's about the same color as the Tamiya tape also works very nicely, and is much less expensive. Charlie Larkin

Nice job, Curtis. The white/yellow looks nice on that, too, and you're doing a good job with the figures. Charlie Larkin

Especially if I can get the rest of the Terreplane to go with it and I can build it stock. Charlie Larkin

Take a look at the Photobucket album for this thing. It's impressive. If I have $180 to spend on one single model, I'd get this in a second. Charlie Larkin

Very nice, Jeff. I hope this sells well for you. Be sure to have a few with you at MassCar, and be ready to take orders for extra. Charlie Larkin

Nice-looking rig. And nice detailing, too. Welcome aboard. Charlie Larkin

Nice build, I like the color. Charlie Larkin

Cool to see a few Edsels coming down the line. I'll enjoy watching this. Charlie Larkin

Astounding. Simply astounding. Charlie Larkin

While I can't argue with the basic, tongue-planted-firmly-in-cheek truth, I think what's been said is what needs to be said. 1. A desire to learn, some pre-requisette knowledge helps, but isn't necessary, especially when the first condition is attached. 2. A stock of some basic tools and finishing supplies. 3. A willingness to be patient and occasionally look at things sideways. 4. A determination to not be outsmarted by plastic. Charlie Larkin

I use cheap dish-soap (the only kind we buy, but good cheap, like Ajax,) and let all parts soak in lukewarm water overnight in a covered container (like a Gladware/Ziplock container,) swish them around to the agitate the soap, drain, and rinse VERY thoroughly, and then let the parts air-dry. I suspect you have mold release on the parts. Also, I stick to Plasti-Kote primer almost exclusively. I find i have the fewest problems with that as an undercoat. Make sure it's the sandable primer you can get at CarQuest, and perhaps some other outlets. Charlie Larkin

I'd let my friends take whatever is of interest to them (cars, trains, and non-modeling items, like my baseball cards and stamps,) and request that the rest be sold by MassCar, and that the proceeds be split evenly by the club and the Scottish Rite Learning Center (great charity, by the way- (see Scottish Rite Learning Center for more information.) Charlie Larkin

Cool. Enjoy. Charlie Larkin

That lower part of the orange Olds looks like they blended in Olds doors and fenders onto a Ford. That gives me an idea...... This is the part where you all need to duck and hide. Charlie Larkin

I like it, Nick. That blue looks good on it. Charlie Larkin

Very nice. That bright blue looks good on those, especially with the black top and trim. Charlie Larkin

I was going to go, but money changed my mind. I was looking forward to a couple of days of warm weather and a change of scenery. Looks like from that weather report, I wouldn't have gotten that either. Oh well, maybe next year. Charlie Larkin

I simply don't know what else to say... Charlie Larkin
