  1. Thanks fellas. I think a combo of those two will get the job done. Thanks Bob
  2. I have a Goodwrench Nastruck and the decals were, let's say....suspect. I applied them anyway and they did their "I don't want to play nice" and bubbles formed underneath them. They looked good wet, but dry? Not so much. But now......Getting them off is a bear. I tried tape, not much luck. Any thoutghs as to what compound [meaning a liquid of some sort] that i can dip this thing in to and have it come out fairly clean? Help is appreciated. Bob
  3. Very cool..... How much does it weigh? Bob
  4. The latest would have to be the Simil'R Ford GT marcVd5. Well engineered and a fantastic subject. Two decal sheets with complete carbon fibre coverage, PE, metal springs and a beautiful instruction sheet with accurate color callouts. The price is a tad steep, but I'll deal with that if a kit is this comprehensive. Let's hope they make it for the long haul. Bob
  5. Man, that is nice. I was not aware of this kit being that detailed. Very nice work sir. Bob
  6. Lots of great detailing pics for us mortals. Gosh, that's a lot of money.
  7. Both are superb.... Well done on these fiddly old kits. Bob
  8. That's a beauty....... Bob
  9. Tougher than undercooked flank steak....... Bob
  10. OutFrigginStanding!!! Every bit....... Geez... Bob
  11. Ira, you are Certifiable I swear it!! That is one of the coolest yet bro. Keep on tinkering and we'll keep enjoying your fantastic imagination and skill. Bob
  12. Ouuta tha pahk!!! I've never seen one built so it's not only a first, but a bar raiser. Nice. Bob
  13. Oh man, it is!!!!!!!!!! Good looking out. It was giving me such a kit to go into the radiator it appears i flipped it at some point. I'll flip it over. Good eyes. Bob
  14. Mad Max anything. But with the new trailer being EPIC and movie to hit next year, I predict reissues will follow with maybe at least one new offering.
  15. I use Vallejo paints a lot lately. But I'm transitioning a bit to different [iE: Military, Figures] types of models. If you are building say a 57 Chevy? Well, Vallejo does not have a metalllic red to spray onto the body. They make mostly flat earth tones with some primary colors thrown in for good measure. Car models require colors the Vallejo range simply does not make. I mix and match paints as i progress which is why my paint inventory has grown considerably over the last year or so. That and my airbrush and compressor purchase. I can now shoot Alclad and basically anything I want onto the model of my choosing. Vallejo paints are superior to almost anything out there and if they made automobile colors I'd have them in my stash and would probably say goodbye to enamels forever. I shoot Testors enamels thinned with laquer thinner with great results but find I need subsequent coats for total coverage. Vallejo paints cover in one coat any color over any color. Bob
  16. Stunning interior... Looks like the real thing, and that's what we are all aiming for. Bob
  17. In between finishing up my Malco Gasser and a couple of other things this came in. I jumped right on it and 3 days later here we are. Intense Blue Pearl with a MM Buffing Magnesium roof. Flocked the inside and swapped out kit wheels for parts box ones. Threw that HUGE air scoop away for something a bit tamer. Alclad on the headers, scoop and blower. I need to BMF the tailgate ribs and the clearcooat on the surfboard is drying but I'm calling it done. Another one for the Deals Wheels section of my display case. I think it needs an antennae. I can almost hear "Slow Ride" on the Kraco stereo. I gotta find a better place to take pics than my bench..... arghhhhhh...... Bob
  18. That is looking Fantastic bro. The trim, the engine detail...... Really impressed with this one. Bob
  19. That is fine looking, it truly is. That color combo was one I considered when I built mine a year or so ago. Well done. Bob
  20. My favorite Youtube subscription. Bob
  21. Perhaps my skills were not up for the challenge at the time. I am reaching into my mind for the impression I first got. Now, I can handle one, but I didn't know about the tire issue. I'll revisit it at some point in time. Bob
  22. The Accurate M iatures McLarens were a bit of a turnoff for me. It was impressive when I opened the box, but fiddly as all get out. I had finished a portion of it and then sold it on eBay when they were on fire hot. Kinda wish I had another. i may revisit it. Bob
  23. A current Funny Car or Top Fueler in 1/16th. That'll happen when I simultaneously hit the Lotto and start dating Zooey Deschanel. Both HIGHLY unlikely. Bob
  24. You have great eyes Mark. I could not work in that scale and pull it off so superbly. Well done bro. Bob
