  1. Those look fantastic. No badging that I can see.. is there a PE fret included?
  2. Quite a journey. Was fun [for me at least] to read of another's plight since I just went through some stuff with my car.
  3. Now those are nice.
  4. Really very nice Mark. Looks spot on..
  5. On or around 1970 my parents owned a "paraphernalia" or head shop in my hometown. There was a hobby shop about 3 doors down and one day dad took me into that sacred place. I ended up picking the Bug Bomb by Dave Deal. My dad helped me build it on the kitchen table, and that began a lifetime of plastic pursuit.
  6. I'm in....... Tomorrow morning.
  7. Cooler than the other side of the pillow brother.
  8. TD is/was/will forever be a far better designer than Barris in my eyes. Barris stuff seems incomplete at times. TD threw caution to the wind and was truly a theme designer. TD's stuff also seemed plausible mostly. I know Barris stuff is actually always 1:1 and TD is a draftsman/painter. But to me TD just always seemed edgier. If TD went 1:1 as a career imagine what we would have today.
  9. I can see how you wouldn't be happy with it. What with the smooth paint and clean building style and all. Very nice from my vantage point.
  10. MCG sets are woefully out of scale.
  11. I think it's a winner and any one of us could crack on and make a fine looking replica. I'm getting one for myself and see what can be done with it. Now Revell, reissue the 1/16 Camaro.
  12. The reason it looks odd is the window doesn't have the blackout trim it's supposed to have.
  13. I'll be hitting this show. See you there.
  14. Great Box build right there. Grandma would definitely put her foot in it.
  15. I just got an e-mail yesterday about the 1/16 Nomad. Customer wants it Pro Street with custom paint. That will mean many hours of scratching a back-half for it and scrounging parts. Then there's the paint he wants. Digital Camo in greys. Plus a blown fuel motor. I'll deliver it in 3 months and price will make him pause, but pay he will.
  16. I routinely get 300.00 to 600.00 for custom builds of all kinds. And there have been a few for much more than that. Paul's stuff is resin so there are not many out there, none in plastic. And probably none done [or few in private hands] to that level of finish. When I say there are THOUSANDS of people with money to burn that pay for righteous projects. I mean it. Hat's off to him.
  17. Another fantastic Teresi creation.
  18. Super nice.
  19. Superb build. That's the way to build a nasty Hot Rod.
  20. Smokin run!!!!!!
  21. You made it look it fell together Harry. And that is the key. Taking a pile and turning it into something, in this case beautiful.
  22. I think it's Alclad to the rescue here. That and mixing up some clear purple for the mufflers. The decal sheet has not been seen yet. I'll bet all the interior panels will have a decal. The rest, maybe a Studio 27 sheet will need to be purchased. Stoked might tend to understate my excitement.
  23. When he opened the door I was like, WTF? My brother Rick was with me and he said "Don't all Lambo's come with scissor doors". The kid said it was special order. My first time near a Huracan but it sure is small.
  24. Hmmmmmm. I believed him that it was special..... Didn't know any better.
  25. I have the Studio 27 Super Detail set for my McLaren MP4/4. I've been looking forward/dreading building it. When I get my back projects finished I'll bring it to the bench. I'll refer to your build for inspiration as it is superb.
