The paint is very nice.....the metalflake looks in scale. Great job.

Revell 1/12 Ferrari 312T
iBorg replied to kpnuts's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Where's the model? If not for the background I'd think it was a nice restoration. I'm curious about what you considered rubbish. -
There's so many nice things here. The engine looks like a stock Ford installation. The wagon conversation is also very nice.

On thinner material, the classroom paper cutter would work. I'd be worried about the blade deflecting which could be dangerous if you try to force it. Tempering the brass would be good idea no matter how you approach it. I think the idea of scribing the brass may be the best approach. You could use a utility knife to make the scribes. You want to make the scribe deeper than you think you need. If you try to break it before the scribe is deep enough you will simply bend the metal.

The Charger is the old PL Charger that had several decal versions such as Mr. Norm, Hawaiian and Super Chief. The Monopoly cars were originally Road Runner and Wylie Coyote from MPCs old days.

Nice build. I appreciate the interior. Not sure what other donors are out there to replace AMT's AF/X interior. Nice improvement over the stock piece.

Moebius is one of my two favorite manufacturers at the moment.....

The only problem with the Tamiya paint stands if you're as anal as I am, you'll be upset about them getting coated with paint. Cleaning primer from them is a bit of a challenge. The purple pond and metal is not a good combination.

I'd contact Round2. For what they're charging, this should have been caught by quality control.

I just found this and I'm very impressed. What scale is this?

34 Ford Pickup......
iBorg replied to bluestringer's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I'm following this thread....I acquired a chopped 34 in primer in a larger collection. It's interesting to me but I would like to get rid of the spare tire well. Any good fender units that can substitute for it? -
Two classic names from modeling's past.....Michael Quarterman and Paul Fisher. For road racing modeler's, Michael was a great source of information that he was always free to share. I doubt Paul will ever start his business back up after loosing it and his home in a California wildfire. Both made huge contributions to the hobby.

Wonderful build. Your body modifications are so well done that unless you REALLY know the body, you'd miss them. This really captures the spirit well. This summer I had a chance to drive by the old Morgan-McClure race building. Sad to see it no longer having transporters out side.

Nice build.....I'll admit I almost bought one the first time I saw it. Bet I'll end up kicking myself for not doing it. The use of the rock tumbler is very interesting to me. What did you use for the grit?

AMT Cinderbug Hot Rod
iBorg replied to Modelbuilder Mark's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I didn't see the engine at first....there's just so much that's so nice. After seeing your pictures of the engine, I looked at your fotki page. Without a doubt one of the nicest Frontenac's ever. I'd love to see a step by step with instructions. Now I need to find a Frontenac to use on a project. I never expected to see one so nice. -
A good resin body built into a great model.

Very nice build. -
That is a great build! It looks like a replica and not a model.
-
It would be a hard day's night before that happened. I see the possibility of those kits being reissued down a long and winding road as far as getting license. Definitely I'd think I feel fine and would twist and shout if somehow the powers to be would let it be. I know some of you can't buy me love but enough! Looking at the clock I realize it's almost yesterday.

My cousin had one of these built up.....simple glue together with decals. Man I wanted one. I'd looked for one at shows with no luck. I was thrilled to see the Mooneyes. I'm ecstatic to see this one.

Try the Brave browser.....it eliminates a lot of that.

Having been a fan of drag racing since 1970, I see this as a way to recapture what Pro Stock was. I am concerned with the years of the cars. These are not current production cars but a model year or two old. While I'd love Pro Stock and FSS to merge into this, the designated car's age limits future growth unless the OEM manufacturers produce future high performance models. The current PS cars seem like Pro Mod light. Hopefully this class will help get more fans in the stands. Maybe if its successful, NHRA will address the jello blobs in funny car.
