Corvette.Jeff

i cant really say much gregg, i never finish any of mine!lol

I dont care what any of ya'll say, I dont think he'll finish this one either,lol sorry bossman

i did like most here, i built kits then either destroyed the bodies or messed up so bad something couldnt be saved(ive gotten alot better at not doing that!!) so those kits became parts, i weighed my current stash, it weighs in at about 12 lbs.!!!! oh and ive been at it for around 2 years now.

and the 17's have about a scale 1-2" lip, i got mine off ebay(aoshima) and theyre white with a blue lip.

i have the 17" set in my parts box somewhere

For primer i like to use whatever walmart has thats cheap.lol for paint i usually use pactra rc car paint, it takes alittle more work to make it shine, but it does taht well with a little wet sanding and about 10 coats of krylon supergloss clear.

i have one of those kits im mixing up with an 84' vette, i still have the carpet if your interested, i died it black though.

thats alot of orange in that first pic!!!! Itd be cool to have of those for my vehicle trophies(ie demolished vehicle parts ) like the pinion gear i blew up in the rearend of my old 'Vette!!!

Cant go wrong with some rota type r's or volk te37's

I cant stand these things on diesel trucks(other than semi's) But if i had a diesel in my dually, id probably put stacks on it

Im going with real

I really miss that old beater.

Here i am with my last ride....

Found this on youtube and thought id share it!

beautifull mark, one question though. why no back spoiler?im sure you tried, but the back end looks like it swoops down to the ground at a very extreme angle, i love it though,and would love to have one like it on my shelf.

I didnt see nothin! and for anyone that sqaw that big old white dually drifting in the highschool parking lot dont ask me about that either!

welcome to the asylume!!!! one thing to think about,they did make a promod tri five kit not to long ago, i think its the strretburner series. but thats full blow promod, if you want a hood kit with a ton of extra detail parts and a good set if wheels and tires pick up a "hot rod magazine" 84' pristreet corvette kit. Jeff

i have a relative who found two little baby racoons in the road a while back, they keep them as pets,theyve been around humans since they were still on milk(im guessing either the mom got ran over or taken off) i even played with em when they didnt even have teeth. cute critters but dont put me in the same room with a full grown one.

prayers coming from Texas

Heres the destroyer of model cars i like to call laney, ive had her for about three years now, a far cousin of the cat. Its really hard to get a clear picture of her, oh and thats a 1/18 burrago viper behind her for size comparison.

The basics any modeler needs are a nice bench/desk, a bright light(the more the better kinda) a comfy chair, tools, a place to paint, and of course aq nice stash of models. If i was in your spot this is what i would do, here at a local thrift/charity store they have a really nice "c" desk for around $20 granted its about 6' long, but it does have shelfing above to store either kits,paints,tools, or what have you. then i would make a paint booth near one of the windows, and get a nice big leather office chair second hand. dont forget to install a heater and a window a/c/ for those long build sessions that tend to happen the rest of the shop i would use for either storage for alot of kits, or shelfing, you cant ever have enough shelving. As for your questino about brands, just take to heart the old saying "you get what you pay for" I myself dont have that many tools, i have a few files that my folks got me for christmas from harbor freight, various sanpapers, a few tubes of spot putty, a can of bondo, a small bench vise, and a set of helper hands with a magnifying glass on it. You cant forget to pick up a exacto knife and a small supply of #11 blades. for sprue cutters i use nail clippers or wire cutters, its the exact same thing, for paint i use spray cans from walmart and the such. It all depends of how extravagent your willing to get, or how deep into the hobby you want to go. Jeff.

let me know if you need any ref. material for the pacer, my aunt has an all original 77' pacer x sitting in her driveway.

peter, did you get my P.M.? Jeff

theres a saleen kit at my local hobby lobby, not sure who makes it though

nothing at all, i wear a pair of low tops everday, and yea i realized that after i typed that, i also always wore hightop vans. lol
