  1. I bet that will take one heck of an extension cord !!!!! :blink:
  2. I'm with Pat here, i'd be up for a set of these !!!
  3. The reason they used the older C5R kit is that is the body that that this particular decal version had in '03 at Lemans, before GM updated the car to the C6R. The only problem I have with it is that they only choose to do the decals for the # 50 car and not include the #'s 53 on the sheet, which was the team car for the Lemans race.
  4. I can Scan these if anyone needs them,....On the C6-R and some one can print to waterslide Thx. Ian. But I have several of the C5R and C6R both, but need # decals to do the # 53 car.
  5. Yes the kit is the same contents as the yellow one with newer decals. I got 2 of the new ones today and compared them with my older ones. The decals for this version only have the # 50 car. The team ran 2 cars at Lemans in '03 with them being the # 50 and also # 53. My son is doing one and I was going to do the other. Does anyone know of a source for them, or anyone willing to make me a # sheet for it ? The correct paint for them is available from Scalefinishes also if anyone wants to go that route. My son also got some Tamiya paint and a p/e sheet on clearance for a Tamiya GTR.
  6. The Radio Shack wires are by far the best choice for the least money as you get basically a lifetime supply of each color for such a small investment. If they only had black and yellow in them now !! http://www.radioshac...oductId=2062641
  7. What ??? We're supposed to store them ???? And all this time I was leaving mine on the dining table, my desk, the coffee table, the sink and wherever I laid them down !!! Arrrggghhh,!!!! Seriously though, I have a craftsman box just like above and some plastic drawers on a roll around, and then those plastic shoeboxes all over the place full of paints and supplies. Then the hand tools I use the most in one plastic box I carry around to wherever i'm building at the time .
  8. The Tamiya TS13 is what I switched to that solved my problem. After about 5 or 6 years now it still hasn't yellowed.
  9. From my experience i'm thinking it has something to do with the use of the " enamel clear ". I used to have the same problems very often, after I switched to laquer exclusively, problem solved !!!
  10. Wasn't that the time period when they were negotiating a new contract or something like that and weren't on the show ??
  11. I got the blessed gift of seeing the joy of my grandaughters !!! That was the only thing that was important to me !!
  12. Isn't that the tranny they used in the Delorean ????? LOL..................
  13. They probably had to bury it to put out the flames !!!! OK, who didn't get that ??? LOL.........
  14. The only one I keep current now is the Hemmings Muscle Machines. Absolutely love that one. Since i'm not working anymore i've had to let the mcm and sae and others go. I miss 'em though !!
  15. I thought the floor was for hiding all those tiny little parts that jump outa your hand !!!!
  16. I think it's perfectly fine to use your decals on whatever project you choose. I mean it's your own personal interpretation on that kit. It should be your free choice. I also save every unused decal for any future use in a tupperware shoe box with packets of silica to keep the moisture down in order to preserve them.
  17. Our CARS club here in Chatt. has been dormant the last few years but are considering a reunion if you might be interested but as Keith said it is a bit of a drive. You can reach me through my profile.
  18. I actually found a copo nova kit at Hobby Lobby and was priced at $23.99 and used a 40% off coupon and was happy with that. Went next door to Kmart and found 2 more of them there and today only had a buy 1 get second one 50% off and were priced at $14.99 !!!! SCORE !!! Thought I was actually gonna have to pay high dollar and shipping on top of that online so was really happy with these deals !! I had a Rally Nova for over 20 years and am gonna build a replica of it in each look it went through all those years !!
  19. Wow, for someone who hates the stuff, you sure did a beautiful job with it !! I really get frustrated using it and have to take regular breaks from it, but I know the end result is worth the effort for me !! Beautiful car man !!
  20. Awww man !! And there's a '60 chevy beside it too !!!
  21. Beautiful build !!! I recently finished that same kit and it gave me fits !! Hat's off to ya !!
  22. Very clean build there futurabat !!!! I have a couple of the kit cars and a couple of the Fujimi enthusiast kits too. The kit car builds into a very nice build and is more simplified than the fuj. one as it has a much larger parts count. But both are excellent kits. !!
  23. Oh my.... very beautiful !!!!!!!
  24. I used to use Testors model master paints for those but now I use the Tamiya clear orange, red and yellow. I try to use bare metal foil as a backing for them to give the proper reflection.
  25. My son waited in a er lobby tonight for 3 hrs and finally got up and walked out and came home. He's gonna try another one tomorrow !!
