Thanks! For Gawd's sake, never thought to check the gallery. Kids- that's why you don't do your research on such things at three AM!

Nice and warm up here in cetral Michigan today, but a bit too breezy for my tastes. Yeah... always something to complain about! That's me.

Looks like the door hinge pins are a little worn out. Seriously, though- Love it!

Oh, yeah! Love the old Ford duallies.

An almost unmarked car! The most insidious police vehicle of them all! Love this kit, and love seeing it built up.

Anyone have photos of this thing? The JF site, STAR models, and Google images netted me nada. Thanks!

Tim- Esci did a Ford Transit, with the newer nose. You could probably rework it to the older style- Question... Somebody mentioned DeTomaso Pantera (would love one, by the way), was the Mangusta ever kitted? If no, add that one to my list, too.

Oh... and who's sister do I have to take to dinner before somebody kits one of those Russian Packard knockoffs???? Call me weird, but I like them.

The COPO Nova caps MIGHT work, they wouldn't be a 100% match to those '55 caps. Just stripping the chrome, and painting them white with red centers would help, and would probably do the trick if you didn't look too close. I don't have the Revell caps, but the MPB resin hubcaps are pretty similar to the ones in the new Copo Nova kit-

This Michigan boy would like... Volvo P1800 (coupe or wagon... better still, why not both?) Bugatti Veyron BMW 2002 Volkswagen Thing Volkswagen Squareback Yugo CV (Just 'Cuz) Any of the 'angular' Citroens from the early '70's NSU Ro80 1990's Land Rover Defender 90 1963 Opel Kadett (OLIVER!!!!) Any of the modern TVRs... I'm not fussy!

Love it!

The only gripe I've had with the few I've built OOB is this- chase out the holes for the metal axles on the tires. Clear out any globs of chrome or clearcoat, or the axle mounting boss will shatter. Also, the axles seem a bit too wide on some of them, and they're pretty thick, but the 'too wide' thing might have something to do with the mounting bosses on the wheels, rather than the axles themselves. Aside from that, assembly is (wait for it...) a snap. Just ordered another Ramblur today from STAR Models, thinking it might end up in a tutorial...

I'd have chopped the top a bit if I'd built it, but having said that, I love it! You might not be as fond of it as you'd like to be, but I'd GLADLY have it on my shelf!

My, that frame is gorgeous! I'll certainly be watching this one.

Well... the war horse has begun to take shape. Basics, the Rommel's Rod tracks (still have to figure out the frame and bogeys for the tracks), Ford C-600 front and rear axles (both solid mounted to the scratchbuilt frame), Revell Peterbilt 359 front wheels and tires with the chrome stripped and resprayed in 'Chrome Silver', and an AMT Peterbilt tranny attached to an ALLISON V12. Obviously in its early stages, still have to add some more details and of course some weathering, but the ball is rolling now!

Cool. Gotta love the Vee Dub front axle.

Yes, please! (And as long as we're dreamin' about European kit subjects, why not a VW Thing or Squareback kit?)

Look no further than your nearest Hasegawa Kubelwagen kit.

To quote my favorite death metal band (Six Feet Under)... WAR IS COMING!!!! It appears War is the first one I'll tackle, not sure if it will be the first one I finish, though! Not much so far, but I've got a start...

Aw, Jeez! Thanks, Downie. Now EVERYBODY knows!

I've been thinking of this one quite a bit, I WILL be jumping in eventually. I've kind of reconsidered my original thoughts- now I think War might be the "easy" one, I can think of quite a few different ways to combine elements of military, apocalyptic, and weathering techniques into that one. Should be able to whip up somethin' pretty decent there! The 'Death' car might be the deusy now... Nevertheless, stay tuned. We'll meet again here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40060&pid=414720&st=0&#entry414720 ...

I'm plotting out a few ideas right now, but the real fun has yet to begin...

Proof positive... WOOD IS GOOD!!!! Ha, ha... Jon said 'nailed'... and it's a woody!

Touché... Again!

X4, it would appear!
