Mr. Metallic

Thanks for the review. I'l probably pick up one of these eventually on clearence down the road. I have sooo many of the others that I can wait. Hopefully Revell will announce something at Toy Fair(or whatever it's called now) next month. They've really created a great product with these, they don't stay on shelves long around here. Hopefully they won't rest on their laurels and throw some new parts at this tooling. I'm going to dream here a bit and wish for a hubless rear wheel, springer front end, wide tank... and maybe a carb?

Love the '32 Chevy. Wish they would reissue that one. Love the color, the stance and the details. Very nice!

But the 3rd pic isn't showing. You left the space in the html between the "bracket" and the "img" Why does Fotki do that? It's such a pain to constantly remove it. Nice Impala. Love the color and the custom roof treatment.Kind of a big blind spot though, lol. Nice as always

Wow, what a difference. Now if I could only get the LHS to carry the Alclad spray cnas. Nice work Steve

Looking good man. Keep those updates coming!

Are you the same monkeyclaw with the 1/8 ardun conversion in the latest MC mag? Very nice stuff. Gotta start saving my pennies for some of your stuff!

Haven't seen a lot of "high tech" choppers built from these kits yet, but with a build like that you may set a trend. Not nit picking, but can carbon fiber really be used to make a gas tank? I'm not really familiar with the limitations of this material, so I'm trying to learn here. Nice bike!

Did any 1/20th models have minilites in them? That would be about the right size in 1/24/25 wouldn't it? I know MPC and AMT went through a faze back in the 70's where they were doing 1/20 stuff, so maybe there's a chance?

Would anyone be able to scan and send me a copy of Rep and Min's latest catalog. I beleive they had an updated one at the Toledo NNL with all the chopper parts in it? It's been a long time since I've ordered from Norm, I have a lot of great parts to catch up on.

I'm pretty sure the 63 is based on their excellent '64 impala tooling. If it is do yourself a favor and get it and do the kitbash because the '64 is a great kit.

Sounds great. post pics soon!

This thing is freaking awesome in person. Chuck had to put a trap over it after awhile to keep everyone from drooling on it. http://public.fotki.com/crstan/kustom_kemp...ustom_kemps_in/

Beautiful work. Lots of mods. Nice details. Stunning!

Wow, i forgot those pics were in there. From the look of it they are actually Dave Lindseys pics. I copied them for personal reference, not sure how they got onto my public fotki site. Dave, if they are your pics let me know and I'll credit you and/or remove them

This is a cool place to be. Welcome aboard! I still enjoy H/H and go there every day, but it gets kinda uptight over there sometimes.

I've looked at this build before Jayvee, but i only just realized that it's based on the new tool '57. I saw the old tool blower setup and just assumed the whole thing was the old tool. I only realized it when you said it was a well engineered kit. Upon closer inspection I found the truth. Shame on me. Very nice build, as always!

Nope, it's all from my head. Can anyone figure out what's going on between the front downtubes?

Looks great. I love the engine, Rep and Min of Md parts? I've been meaning to build one of the Phantom Vickies with fenders since the kit came out. It's been awhile, maybe this year I'll actually do it.

Well, Ive been off work since last saturday, but with family in town build time has been at 0. Now that they have returned home I can get some bench time. Here's the results Based on the Revell "Torch" hardtail frame. I've done quite a bit to the frame itself. See if you can figure the direction I'm going by the mods I've made. http://public.fotki.com/crstan/noslow-moti...ects/page3.html

That's a FAT tank, pun intended.

Love the grille treatment. Very nice color selection too.

Did the Gambler get new wheels? I only picked up the Fireball. Decals are the other new item in that kit besides wheels. the real-fire decals LOOK great, hope they apply well.

Thanks Steve. Now I can't wait to give it a try

Just a quick rifling thru the box produced these impressions. 1) Most of the parts are a mix and match of other parts offered in the previous 4 kits 2) Unique parts include sweet wheels, seat, flame motif primary cover and air cleaner. 3) Real Fire decals look great, hope they apply just as good as they look. That's all for now. I love these kits. I also saw the Gambler, #6 of 6 of the Revell Choppers, but didn't have enough cash to pick it up. Great kits, if you haven't gotten yourself one yet... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?!
