I would think it would be better to use Fed Ex or other when shipping to/from Canada instead of regular mail. I've never had problems w/ Fed Ex from other countries.

I read the question as largest scale. 1/8th seems to be the largest for car kits. Though there have been larger scale motorcycle and engine kits, I think.

Dining room table at the family house in Ohio until I was 12...then I split time building in my bedroom in our Florida house during the school year and my bedroom in the Ohio house during the summers. My folks eventually had an heated/air conditioned outbuilding constructed, about 800sq ft and I'd build there during summers and later when I'd visit from college. I still have a bunch of models and diecast there that I need to move out.

Looking good!

Neat...looks like a Challenger done up as a phantom DTM car... lots of scratchbuilding, thought parts from the recent Revell of Germany Audi or Mercedes C-class DTM race cars could perhaps be modified...

Well, those are 'new' in the sense they are new releases, not in the catalog for a while. As opposed to something called 'All-New'... In their advertising, they probably avoid using 'reissue' and 're-release' as the general public couldn't understand such terms.

They did..that's where I got my MM conversion.

This one? Never heard of the Toho brand.

Some beautifully built Mopars there..love the color choices.

Photoshop image, or an ugly custom car. It's not a production car that I'm aware of.

No idea.

The space crane that they used to lower the rover to the surface was very cool...the technology is pretty cool...that's the kind of technical project I'd love to have worked on...the software for the rover has be very robust, bug free and precise.

I remember back in the day when MTV had music videos.. it just has stupid reality shows now. For music on TV, I like MTV's Palladia channel.

Yes, this is the 7th Mars rover...since the early '70s...only the 4th to successfully land. Hot Wheels made a diorama of the one from the '90s that was the first one to successfully land. But this one is bigger, and now with color photos (though still grainy...I would think NASA would have 1080p HD video by now ). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_rover

That looks pretty cool..whilst searching for photos, I found this--a crew cab version!

Sharp build...like the color choice and wheels.

Would be fun to kitbash w/ the 3 AMT '51 Chevy variations to do an Olds hardtop, convertible and fastback, and a Chevy coupe.

That is pretty cool...definitely not a rust rod. It reminds of the interesting rods that Moal builds.

JL did one in 1/64 a few years ago.

1/8th sounds correct for car/truck kits. I think there have been 1/6th scale motorcycle kits. 1/6th is a common scale for figures and figure models, and there are some figures in 1/4th.

It's one of those true stories that's stranger than fictional lyrics.

LoL...I saw the grainy color pics from the rover online yesterday--a dry, dusty barren desert just about as ugly as parts of Arizona.

That URL goes to a fake parked site.

Looking good..I have a couple of the later AMT Falcons I bought as builtups...a rough '67 and a less rough '69. Someone hacked out the B-pillars on the '67, got to recreate those, and the seats are missing. It's hard to find an AMT Falcon of that era that hasn't been hacked up..

AF/X Resin made one.
