Thats pretty cool, I could use something like that on my HO slot car track setup.

And yet, if they would have lost he would have asked " where was he when you needed him ".... Some peoples kids. And I think your right about the role model thing, hes turning out to be quite the hero.

What can you get your hands on for power plants in 1/16 scale? 427 cammer with a flip nose would be killer. Was'nt the a "gas rhonda" car ? Either way looks like you've got some body work in your future bud !!!

The effect is great, I'm sure you did it just fine. What I ment was what did you use for the effect ?

I could print off alot of pics for 400 bills, ink and paper included. Thats stupid money for a book.

Whats it setting in ??

...You say product, I say victim....of more bootleg program bargains..stupid "Mindows ps"

What if you turned them on going faster then the speed of light going in reverse....??? "Shane and Bake", Ricky bobby just blew your mind

So, lets say the world DOSENT come to a sudden halt next Dec.... can I have an extension ????

Too cool !!! congrats.

I'm coming up dry here bud, Nothing less then a small fortune. At this point I would say keep searching on line. I feel your pain though, even in washington state, I'm having a hard time finding a Seahawk jerz for my boy for a resonable price. I guess its kinda like waiting till the snow dumps ,then trying to find a deal on a snow blower....which I'm also doing Non the less, I will keep you posted if I hear diff this weekend

Hey thanks guys, those frames would go very nice !!!

Sorry Eelco, My aunt will be hitting the shops sat, and she will get back to me. I will be in touch,

Brand new, still in the package . On a side note how do you think the time invested and money invested scale out to the real thing?

I'm sure I will get blasted for this,but a few years ago I was walking around the local Hastings and came across the "other mags" contest coverage issue. Having not touched a model for about 10 years, I wanted to see what was new (not that I was huge into it before) . I picked up the copy and went on my way. As i thumbed through it I kept comeing back to the featured builders spead, and his "Little red wagon", something about the way John Teresi built and painted that thing opened my eye to what this hobbie was realy about. Its just as much an art form as it is a hobbie or a past time. It's really helped me to better my own building style. After that first eye opener, I found this site. And I have to say that the amount of Inspirational builders is over the top,

If its just a full cover job, your probly fine just shooting base,candy/pearl, then clear. But a coat of clear or intercoat can be nice in between layers of graffix or even stripes, it can help keep them smooth. It can be really helpfull when taping over colors, for complex jobs. But just my opinion man, paint on !!!

Depends on what paint system your spraying. There may be a time window issue ( probly not as big of an issue with a model as it is a full size, but habbits are habbits) . And it depends on what your trying to do. Are you looking for a pearl/candy finish or graffix?

How come this topic hasent been pinned yet? With 4,000+ postings, it seems to be pretty popular And its neat to see what everyone else is and has snatched up.

I agree, But for the part "The "long-line" of heritage that Ford and GM have, has been cut, smashed and forever destroyed at Chrysler" I dont really feel it was ever there to begin with. I mean, its been one merger and buy out/ take over after another from the begining (MOre PARts) That was their heritage. Its kind of silly to compare them to the other "2" of the big "3" I think, And I guess thats why I get frustrated when I here about how they are building something off of "someone elses" platform...or "using" someone elses parts...sorry just me ranting, But that is a great write up Peter.

Are you looking for an "authentic" nfl jersey? If so, your hard pressed to find on that cheap. If not, Ive sent an email and text to some fam in the Grand junction area to do a little scouting for me/you. What size by chance?

Really? Why? Was the Dart that great of a car 30+ years ago? Or do you just not like the body style that much?

Did anyone ever read, or look at the older "lowrider bike" magizine in the late 90's or so. They had the back half of the magazine strickly models. Anyway, they alway put a few lowrider magazine license plate inserts in the back scaled down to look just like the ones used in the full size magazine...well to make an already long story short, my stash of magazines jumped ship. Does anyone have any left over ??? Or the ability to make some scaled down ? I wish they would have come out with a seperate model magazine back then.

I've never done the weatherd look either....I wonder if someone out there has come out with a good "how to" book

Just to much going on in the warmer/summer time. Kids like to be outside ALOT, so thats where we are most of the time.

The one that sticks in my head, is "The Butterfly Effect" Great movie, but the kid building models up stairs was up there because he went nuts and couldnt function at much else....kinda bummed me out , I thought it made the hobbie look a little... umm, phsycotic i guess. Maybe I'm just to sensitive about it.
