Cool! Thanks for the info, guys.

But sadly, now containing 30% more MSG...

My ninja mask used to cover the unibrow, but somebody stole it... (NOTE: "It" being the mask, not the unibrow.)

Room enough for a Chevy big block, though, in the AMT kit. That was one of my first major kitbash project, about twelve or thirteen years ago. Never finished that one, but the blown 427 from a Revell Corvette ('68, maybe?) WILL fit!

Ah, one of the reasons I'm content with my 'substitute teacher' status at the mag!

Flip the last M in MCM over, and you get MCW, Model Car World, purveyors of fine scale automotive paints and resin kits. Oh, and to fans of the movie Pulp Fiction, BMF stands for something else entirely!

The COE Transtar has been on my wish list for a long time, this one is a beauty! Looks just like the ones used as farm rigs here in central Michigan. You'll see these things out and about all over the place in the fall hauling off crops.

Now that you mention it... yeah, it would!

Now, it's onto Phase 2- ?????, and finally, phase 3- profit!

Man, I'd love to have that Transtar COE!

This will be awesome!

No, I have exactly 80% less unibrow.

Didn't even know this kit existed until now, and now I want one!

Both gorgeous!

Ah, Zappa and his famous unibrow...

I've been getting RID of a lot of my stash the last few days, but I'm working on getting a Jo-Han '60 Plymouth Wagon.

Sweet! Looks like a '69/'70 Mustang dash.

The wheels in those were pretty nice, but I just never cared for the big, blocky tires with light-truck sidewalls MRC supplied. At least they had good tread and decent sidewall detail. As far as the hinges? Yeah, I could see a market, but I think a pre-assembled piece would be a bit above the average modeler's acceptable 'price point'. Of course you could make one available in kit form (there already are a couple I can think of, a few shown on the thread already), but with working tension springs? Can you imagine the agony of getting your scale hinge all put together, all that's left is installing the spring to make it functional, and then you hear the 'twang' and see the spring you've spent the last ten minutes trying to install fly off into the darkest corner of the room, never to be found?

I... do not.

I prefer not gluing the chassis and interior in my models, so when they pick it up- CRASH!- everything falls out the bottom. After a while, you get the reputation as "The guy who doesn't glue his models together" and nobody even thinks of picking up your models.

Sorry, mine's been squeegee'd. (Hey, it's not every day I can work a Bill Hicks reference into a post! )

Yep. As if the Dixie Chicks weren't bad enough...

:lol:

Ah... guess it's my turn to be Dimwit. Now if you'll pardon me, I'm off to price out some one-armed Braille-system paint...

Maybe he'll take the Mustang as a trade. I mean, an old Mercedes can't cost THAT much, right?
