  1. One would think that the 800 lbs of clay would negate any aero upgrades! Maybe there's a sweet spot between aerodynamics and weight we aren't quite clear on yet.
  2. Okay, Duke... where's KARR? Maybe the version from "KITT vs. KARR", where he had the silver rocker panels and the amber scanner? As soon as I dig up another Knight 2000 kit, that's what I'm doing!
  3. Little Johnny's mom got a call from his teacher. "It seems your son is confused about the differences between the sexes." the teacher told Johnny's mom. That afternoon, once Johnny got home, she sat him down in the living room for a talk. "Johnny, take off my pants." She told Johnny. Johnny took off his mom's pants. "Now take off my shirt." Johnny took off his mother's shirt. "Take off my bra." Johnny took off her bra. "Now, take off my panites." Johnny took off his mom's panties. "Now, Johnny," his mom said, "PLEASE stop wearing my clothes to school!"
  4. That's what I hear- it will have the correct single exhaust setup. Vice versa, the '74 GTX will be reissued with the dual exhaust chassis. Huh. Wonder if they just switched chassis plates between the two kits?
  5. Ken, I've been saying the exact same thing myself for years.....
  6. I like them all, but these two are my favorites!
  7. More like a C, D, or possibly F movie. I've gotten plenty of modeling ideas from movies, and some of them just hit out of the blue. Totally different movie, but in one of the Airport movies (no, not Airplane!), there's a scene with a Dodge A-100 pickup that's had it's doors and roof removed. It appeared to be some sort of crash response vehicle, and ever since I've seen that movie (can't remeber exactly which one of the movies it was, there were three or four of them), I've wanted to build one with the Lindberg LRW kit. Oh, here's one more useless fact- the Titanic in 'Night to Remember' was a scale model- I don't know what scale, but I seem to remember seeing pictures of the actual model online years ago.
  8. Consider this one filed away for future use... regarding your question, have you tried just cutting out the '72 wheel openings and grafting them into the '90 bed?
  9. Is it a Capri or an Opel? This Yank has no idea. I will say that it looks very cool, though!
  10. Harry- I am offended...no...OUTRAGED by your elitist suburban yuppie-ism! EVERYBODY knows that it's a three day pack mule trip from Ithaca to Hooterville.... sheesh! Well, four days if you bring your wife/cousin/sister along with you! Not that Hooterville sounds like a bad place, judging from the first six letters, anyhow! I know you're probably in the pocket of the Chigago mob... but show a little decency, would ya? Is it any consolation if said farm equipment dealer is not actually in the town where I live? Oddly, the hodunk stinkhole I live in has no farm equipment dealer- I had to drive 8 miles to get this skidder! Now, on a serious note- Thanks, guys. Glad to see I'm not the only one who's bothered by stuff like this with a brilliant showroom shine! They had an another, larger, 1/25 diecast skidder that I'm thinking of giving the treatment to.
  11. Just plain awesome! Makes me want to dig out that Scout kit I had saved to slam on some 20" 5-spokes!
  12. Consider it done, sir! Is this better?
  13. Saabs are about the dopiest cars on the road... so why do I find them so kool? Huh- maybe I'm dopey! Glad to see somebody else isn't afraid to tear down a die cast and build it properly!
  14. Here's a diecast 1/25 scale Gehl skid loader I picked up at my local farm equipment dealer. I took it apart and weathered it, because nothing bugs me more than a showroom-fresh piece of construction equipment!
  15. That's the crude old 1/24 Lindberg kit. It' s about as detailed and accurate as an Egyptian Hieroglyph, but I likes it!
  16. That's it... I'm finding out where you live and robbing you blind!
  17. Has anybody seen the new Harley-Davidson edition Lonestar? Sweet lordy, it's a beauty! It has a custom, horizontal bar grille that reallly cleans up the front, and it has single round headlamps that kind of stand off of the fenders a bit. And, of course, it's got all the obligatory HD blackout motifs going on, as well as a healthy smattering of eye-searing chrome anywhere you care to look! Shame there'll never be a 1/25 kit of a Lonestar... they could make it into a 2 in 1: Standard (if you can call anything about a Lonestar 'standard'), and Harley edition! I don't even build many big rig kits (I've done exactly seven over the twenty one years I've been modeling... that number drops to two if you don't count Ford C-cabs or Dodge L-700s as 'big rigs'), but I could easily see myself buying at least, oh, five or six Lonestar kits, if one were ever produced!
  18. This is a pretty good kit, for what it is. http://public.fotki.com/ChuckMost/hot-rods/09999.html This one isn't box stock, but it's about 90%. I added a model A four-banger, and added the F-head conversion from the Revell '31 Tudor. I built this one quite a few years ago- I'd like to do a second version of it now, since my modeling skills have (allegedly) improved !
  19. Here's a link, anyway: http://public.fotki.com/ChuckMost/rat-rods/07272.html This model recently had a situation involving a crowded temporary shelf, gravity, and a hardwood floor. I've gathered up the pieces, and hope to try and salvage something out of it, as these old Heller kits aren't exactly common!
  20. I like this! Looks kinda like a squashed Vega in front... and I mean that in the nicest way possible!
  21. I like it! Yeah- red always seems pink in photos. Why is that? Late '50's Mopes rule... and this is a FORD dude talking!
  22. I was stoked to see the 'impending release' of the '87 Cutlass kit, too, so I'm not going to get too excited until I see the '72 physically on the shelves. I Revell does, in fact, release the '72, I can guarantee you I'll be buying at least a couple of 'em. One thing the world needs is more late '60's to early '70's Cutlasses in scale styrene! I'm hoping the actual kit includes an up-top. Or, better still, they pop a hardtop variant later... THAT would get me stoked!
  23. Wonder if they'll find any moon-oil?
  24. I thought the last Buick customer had already died of old age. When Carter was in the white house. Weird...
  25. A man was sitting at a bus stop, holding five crying, screaming infants. A woman approached the bus stop and saw the man seated there with all those unruly rugrats. "Are those yours?"She asked. "No," the man replied, "I work at a condom factory and these are customer complaints."
