Chuck Most

Better late than never! Got a COPO Nova kit Saturday morning, and spent the next two days fiddling around with what turned out to be quite a few warped parts. Clamps, superglue, and some colorful language were all it took to fix the problem, though.

I toyed with hinging the doors on my Datsun variant, but, well.... I didn't.

Cool model- I don't think I've ever seen a Mini with that front end before, especially not at this scale, and in a model this well detailed.

The size is about right, and I'll probably use those tires, but it's the design of the wheel I don't care for. I do have some Viper wheels around here somwhere, I might end up using those.

I'd love to see one of the 'bigger' model companies rebox that Bedford kit- Emhar kits aren't exactly thick on the ground in my neck of the woods, and I don't like buying online when I can get it locally. Must be- they've announced they're doing a Prostar and a 53' Great Dane trailer kit to go with the Lonestar!

Forgot all about the Coupelet until now! Sucks it's OOP. Guess that means I'll have to get off my duff and order a center door! I did have fun with that Jimmy Flintstone body, though-

Got the stance dialed in, not sure on those wheels, though.

Is this the one with the window in the hood for the supercharger? If so, I might have the instruction sheet.

I've got a punching bag just kitty corner from my work area, just for situations like this. Odd how a hobby that is usually so relaxing can bring up so much blind rage sometimes, isn't it?

Jon- Revell did a first-gen Courier, but it was custom. You'd need to do some scratchbuilding, but making a first-gen Courier model would be workable.

It does! I was reffering to the Korean-built, US-market Fiesta though. Or was it Festiva...?

Strange looking little vehicle, for sure! Maybe that's what I dig about it.

I've only ever built one- the drag sedan, but it was done box stock mostly. I do have the Thames panel van version I plan to make a little bit wilder, but that project might not be started until a long, long time from now.

Like it? No. Love it? YES! The driver and the tail gunner look a bit ill, though!

I like it- kind of makes me think of an updated Festiva with a box van body.

I like the rollbar AND the boot- I'd say make them both removable so you could display it either way. And yeah- I just used the 'oblong' tire mounting hole trick on a project I just finished- it was that or have the right front tire about three scale inches up in the air.

Toying around with the Matador today, wondering about slapping twin turbos on that Viper V10. I figure it's not going to clear the stock hood anyway, so why not?

Dusenberg? Looks like the '32 Chrysler engine to me. (I KNOW that's where that grille came from. ) But whatever the case, I love it. A Chevy powered by ANYTHING but a Chevy engine is cool to me.

Yep, Tom's still doing his thing, but he no longer produces this particular kit.

Turns out mine has quite a few warped parts, but nothing I can't work around.

Look! A silver one-

Andy- you forgot your own Center Door T transkit! There is also the chopped Jimmy Flintstone version.

Megadeth- Symphony of Destruction. Pretty much fits in with whatever I'm doing at the workbench at any given moment.

Oh.... you don't wanna get me started on '57 Chevys!!! (Not that I like the car or know a lot about the kits... just the opposite in fact. )

Sweet!
