  1. We appreciate all the accolades and complements! More so, we really are tremendously gratified by seeing others, who also enjoy the hobby, grow and profit from their experiences. We have, and will strive to continue expanding our hobby at large, as long as our eyes can focus, and our fingers still bend. Build on! -KK
  2. GLEN, And, to encourage others to improve their skills through trial and error (you broke/messed it up... you can fix it! Mind over matter, etc..), time and effort (Take your time and refine your efforts.), learning and studying (Curiosity may have killed the Kat, but satisfaction brought it back! Be inquisitive, ask others, and observe their style and techniques.) and lastly, have fun (Sure there have been those projects that have the heart filled desire to hit the wall, but discipline yourself and curb your frustration... redirect it to problem solving and the joy in overcoming what may seem to be insurmountable obstacles.)
  3. RRR & I have been combining our efforts in documenting our hobby for several decades. Sharing methods, material, parts selection and techniques goes back to the basics and stretches our imagination and creativeness. From the start of any build to the unveiling, our goal is to further the talents of every modeler we encounter through our hobby.
  4. Outstanding, ADL! Sits right!! And is progressing as expected... -KK
  5. Modeling and Geometry Modeling is the art or activity of making three-dimensional models. And, Geometry is all about the questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. And, geometrically speaking, a line is defined by two points on a plane and three points define a plane. Now, how does this apply to our project? As you may recall… we were modifying a set of rims from the Revell ’32 Sedan kit to fit the hollow tires from the Revell ’29 Roadster kit. In the first installment, we added a .040 x .040 rib/ring all the way around the outer edge of both the inner and outer rim halves of the front wire rim from the Revell ’32 Sedan kit. Thinking about simplifying the modifications to accommodate mounting the hollow tires to the wire rims, a math lesson from middle school came to mind: Three points define a plane. So, instead of a continuous ring around the rim, we’ll place three evenly positioned .040 x .040 ribs around the rim to mate with the plane of the sidewall, inside and out. -KK
  6. Progressing nicely! Keep us up to date on the final assembly, Brother Modeler!! -KK
  7. Bill, Here are a couple of inspirational drawings thought you'd like: The CUC Caswell Track Nose And, the Mayabb Lockhart Boattail Keep us up to date on your beautiful build! -KK

  9. RRR, There's a set of these stacked in the back of the K&R Kustoms+Rods Woodstock Shop that could be crated & shipped this week!?. -KK
  10. You are more than welcome, Brother Modeler! -KK
  11. Thanks, Brother Modeler! Good call, I totally agree! Spring behind the axles would pull the QC forward just enough for the rear tires to just clear the back corners of the cab!! -KK
  12. Good call on the extra chrome bars and lights... and, as much as I like louvers, like most of us... bottom rails- gone; upper back of the cab - also gone! Take a look at Jeff Eischen's '29 Coupe and how clean it flows... now imagine it with a RPU cab. -KK
  13. RRR and I have been discussing Quick Builds and came up with a couple of '29 Roadsters... "Quick" is not an easy word for me to digest! So, to that end, I will start on a pictorial for modifying the Revell '32 Sedan Wire Rims to fit the Revell '29 Roadster Tires... More to come... -KK
  14. RRR's Wires The rears are from the Revell 32 roadster. Fronts from the old Revell parts pack, slightly wider ones. -RRR
  15. Keep on keepin' on, Brother Modeler!
  16. Lincoln Continental Coupe inspiration... -KK&-RRR
  17. ADL, Son, you're on a whole different plane! You've go a real hot rod eyeball!! And, the steady hand of a future master!!! My hats off to you, son! Major presence factor!!!! Absolutely KILLER!!!!! -KK
