Train full of 1/25 Chevelles
lordairgtar replied to Randytheroadrunner's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The rail car was made from scratch, the cars are kits and kits that were kit bashed and resin bodies. Also, G scale building kits are generally 1/24th scale so can be used for dioramas. The trains themselves are all over the place from 1/29 to 1/20 depending on type, manufacturer, and applications like narrow gauge. -
Train full of 1/25 Chevelles
lordairgtar replied to Randytheroadrunner's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Being familiar with G scale trains, I would say that the Chevelles are indeed 1/25th scale and I certainly can tell that by looking at the man's hands as he points out things on the rail car. Rail cars are huge in 1/25th/G scale and 1/16th would be absolutely monstrous. The wind blade cars are HO (1/87). A modern style car transport train is even longer. I did notice he had to have addressed the bad tail light situation on the Chevelles. -
Customer Service at Moebius Models
lordairgtar replied to Dave Metzner's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Moebius probably saw your opinions on customer service and figured to rectify it easier. -
I'm digging the scratched front bumper from pushing a car.

That old JoHan kit is not quite right to be Boss Hogg's car -

Why? -
That's awesome.

Really nice. Who's the maker of the kit?

lordairgtar replied to Greg Cullinan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have old kits and some are worth a bit. I bought them to build though. The 68 Ambassador convertible kit I have will certainly be built up and my Renwal 66 Revivals will be built and possibly kitbashed with modern, more detailed underpinnings. -
What do you drive?
lordairgtar replied to gasman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thank you. I really like BMWs, both four and two wheel machines. The guy just kinda soured me on them, but I got over it and still like BMWs, from Isettas to the early sports cars, the modern road cars and of course the motorcycles. -
thanks Casey.

I remember seeing a drawing of a 66 Chevelle blue print on a desk in a photo of stuff inside JoHan. Was that going to be a new kit just before the fall? Shortly after, Lindberg released theirs.

Al Gore would go apoplectic if you ran it by his house. -

So tell me, is it Beemer or Bimmer? I got yelled at by a guy when I said "nice Beemer" Pretty much read me the riot act because bikes are called one and cars are the other, I guess. -
I make $11.15 an hour, plus I sell art and have a car show DJ service which helps. The hobby is fairly cheap compared to G scale trains or RC and slot racing. If I want something, I save for it. That is why I'm on a forum such as this because of the kit release news. I hear of something I want, then I save. When it's released, I go and buy. Wisconsin is a fairly inexpensive place to live (unless you are paying for propane right now to heat your home). Costs way more to live in a place like California, which I have in the past.

LHS (Local Hobby Shop)
lordairgtar replied to 69NovaYenko's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Like hgbben and 70judgeman, I frequent Model Empire and Greenfield News And Hobby. Both are great stores. Also in the mix is Panther Hobbies in Oak Creek, basically a military and armor shop but they have some car kits plus mutually used supplies and some Tamiya paints. In Muskego is Wisconsin Illinois Trains which specializes in G scale railroads, but the buildings are 1/24th scale generally and avail themselves well to diorama making. There is also a small hobby and craft shop just outside of Burlington which has kits and supplies but is mainly geared toward Lionel O guage and HO guage. -
Old Gas Stations and Cars
lordairgtar replied to Ramfins59's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I googled Portland and found the Modish building on street view. It is in Portland, but it is on park and oak, one block away. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=portland+oregon&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x54950b0b7da97427:0x1c36b9e6f6d18591,Portland,+OR&gl=us&ei=8WHuUoTUEsWPqwHtsYGYDw&ved=0CKQBELYD -
I liked the build of this somewhat iconic vehicle. I owned one. I was very poor and homeless. I paid $50 for the car which was a 1980 four door Chevette, got a job delivering pizzas. As I was moving up the income ladder, this car helped me move my meager possessions to an apartment I was able to rent. After that, I worked for a school bus company and soldiered on with the 'vette. And I too know the zen of starter replacement in these little hell cars. As income got better, the cars that replaced the little white Chevette got better, and larger.

Renault 4L from Heller and Ebbro
lordairgtar replied to Luc Janssens's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I think this is a neat little car. A Panhard Dyna would be cool. I love a car that sticks it's tongue out at you like it is saying "I am French...what of it?"
