  1. I'm gonna hold off hoping Revell will pan some of Stacey's other projects for kit subjects until it is seen how well this kit does in the marketplace. That being said... I fully expect Revell to sell a ton of these kits, and yes, put me down for a Power Wagon kit. Even if it's stock-only, I've got enough junk in the spares box and a few aftermarket resources to build it as Sgt. Rock. I know I'm up for quite a few Rat Roasters- I can use pretty much everything from the kit besides the Chevy engine for all kinds of projects.
  2. Local antique shop usually gets a few promos- though oddly they're usually not 'antiques'. They seem to get in quite a few Brookfield promos- the Brickyard Monte Carlos, Olds Auroras, and the like. I did get an original AMT 40' post trailer from them for a pretty good price, and that's where I found my Renwal '66 Packard.
  3. Something I've thought about- did anyone ever make a resin Fordor body for this kit?
  4. Let me see if I still have that 1:32 Minicraft 1910 Hudson laying around...
  5. I was afraid the R&R piece was the only shot (short of finding an old AAM casting). Might have to go that route.
  6. I've been hunting around for one of these- I'd planned on converting an MPC Caprice into one, but I'm not feeling up for it. Am I missing any sources?
  7. Polar Lights Deluxe Batmobile kit has an optional turbine, so I raided one of those for it.
  8. Glad I'm not in that club- I wouldn't want to give this one away. Very nice.
  9. Well... 50/50 is 50/50, no matter what the scale. Not sure what 12 volts would to to in-scale wiring...
  10. I like the idea, Charlie- but I'm kind of trying to minimize the scratchbuilding for this particular project. I suppose I should say the size is probably more important that the scale in this case- I guess I'm really looking more for something which will fit on the back of a medium sized truck, bi-scale or not.
  11. Anyone know of such an animal? Size-wise, I'm looking for something that would fit on the back of an Italeri Opel Blitz-sized flatbed truck.
  12. Ground to a halt for the time being.
  13. Love it!
  14. Just your typical, post-Apocalyptic, turbine-powered Gremlin. That's all.
  15. Just had a 'why did I buy this' moment with the AMT '76 Gremlin. As much as I like the 1:1 Gremlin, the deeper I dug into the AMT kit, the less I liked it. Still managed to make something out of it, but I doubt I'll be picking up another one any time soon.
  16. I'm still thinking you should paint it pink to match the plugs you put in the hood.
  17. Windshield doesn't fit particularly well, either- that's the only thing keeping me from installing the interior tub permanently right now.
  18. Awesome.
  19. Roger- you know you really have a gift for painting a vivid mental picture with words, right?
  20. Well, I'm working on it. Trouble is... would 35 psi in 1:25 scale be the same as 35 psi in 1:1?
  21. This is how I do it whenever I want to get rid of molded firewall wiring, or add wiring the kit lacks to begin with, and have always been happy with the results.
  22. I'm actually building this in another CBP, but I thought Cranky's Mad Gremlin couldn't be the only post-apoc Gremmie, so I'm whipping up a little somethin'.
  23. The post-apoc Gremmie rolls on...
