  1. You do know that book was written by militant hippies with an agenda, right?
  2. Fingers crossed. Peel and stick graphics won't stop me buying the kit, I'd just prefer waterslide.
  3. That's the worst thing about Testors enamels in the rattle can- it's like spraying paste.
  4. Maybe, but unless every single one of these kits is to be given away at make and take events, I'd see a pretty fair demand for the waterslide decals.
  5. My guess? Reincarnation!
  6. There are some images of it with the hardtop off, so if the kit ultimately ends up lacking it, no sweat off my back. And if it does end up having a hardtop (or convertible uptop), it'll probably end up in the spares pile as trade fodder.
  7. And if only she'd rammed the iceberg head-on. At least the theory is only the first two compartments would have flooded had it unfolded like that. People would have died, and the bow would have been caved in, but it's likely she'd have made it to New York. Either way, not the greatest maiden voyage.
  8. Know why I'm looking forward to this kit? And the ONLY reason?
  9. There are certain family members I don't let into my home anymore for similar reasons. Pretty sad when it has to happen like that, but you've got to do what's necessary.
  10. Thanks folks. As far as the weathering, I just used the good old salt technique.
  11. Leaning toward Testors Mystic Emerald for the body and wheels, maybe with Lime Ice for the roof, and perhaps under the side trim.
  12. I like to call my buddy's '73 'Vette an 'Overgrown Opel'. Man, he LOVES that.
  13. Oh- right... the engine in a Fiero is right about where the top would be stowed. Forgot that one little detail!
  14. Totally? No. Most of the sheetmetal was the same, should actually be a fairly simple conversion.
  15. Hmmm... wonder how a Fiero came up in conversation... Like the way it looks so far- just needs minimal bodywork and maybe a boot. I'd go with a fiberglass boot- just cut in some panel lines and you're set. And don't forget the sunvisors!
  16. Loving that Stude! Gotta get off my keister here pretty soon and contribute something here!
  17. Missed this one the first time out- might have to jump in!
  18. Just couldn't resist seein how she looked with her brightwork in place... The taillights on this one were more pink than red, so I hit them with a red Sharpie to darken them. The lenses are molded clear but painted red at the factory, the actual hue seems to vary a bit though.
  19. Why can't they provide both, like Round 2 did with their first release of the Impala NASCAR kits? I think that would make both camps happy, and shouldn't add much to the price of the kit.
  20. I'm going to try a fine tip black Sharpie, and proceed from there.
  21. Yep- insulation underneath is gone, paint's burned off, and so on.
  22. And a towel. And probably a hotlight.
  23. I WONDER WHAT THE REAL DIALOGUE IS!!!!
  24. There are a bunch of these turbines going up about five miles north of me- I see these things going by my place all the time... at about fifteen miles per hour, with a chase truck out in front.
