Your build looks so right.....the first two look like the actual car. Great job!

One point, if you're like me and hearing aid dependent, ultrasonic cleaners interfere with them. When I use any of my three cleaners, I must turn my HAs off. If not they have a loud buzz sound.

I'd still like a list of shops that received it. I know one of my locals dropped it last year. If one of the others got it, I'd pick it up.

Clean builds of very challenging kits. Maybe they didn't win but they're still fantastic on the shelf.

Any usage reports on the coated blades?

Randy what kind of printer?

The decals look better.....not right. Sad thing is the changes to make them right would not be hard in either Illustrator or InDesign. Any decal makers interested?

Depending on the issue this is a great kit. Most I've seen lately were near the end of JoHan and suffered serious flash molded in some "wonderful" color like orange. I haven't seen usable decals on most of the kits, even when new. GREAT Build!

The ones I see that are unusual are the Ashland ones. Ashland was a popular gasoline brand in Kentucky and West Virginia. Their most popular line was Valvoline, which is now a separate company.

Mercy that makes me miss my Chrysler Laser XT, the Chrysler twin to the the Turbo Z. Your build looks dead on. As for the comments of being a fast car.....in 1987, it was the one of the fastest cars made by Detroit. West Virginia had some that were factory specials that could top out at 150.

I'm curious about the decals....I've got a case of these from a prior issue.

Where can I find a list of the hobby shops?

Dan those look absolutely killer but Google research shows the lead isn't used anymore. Hasn't been used since the 1990s. Is this stuff you've had stored since then?

Not a problem for the design work I do.

I'm pretty good with Illustrator.....I typically learn much better when I have a project I'm trying to complete.

Please send me info.....I'm wanting to up my game. I'm also looking at CNC equipment.

Take a look at Amazon for airbrush compressor. Search for airbrush compressor. There's a host of them for under $70, some with tanks. It seems the majority of these have tanks which I'd recommend.

What's the standards I should look for in a 3D printer. I think the price is getting to a point its worth considering. Thanks, Mike

Maybe the Vega.....I've already got four of the diggers Cudas. Frankly I think they were cooler with the Stardust decals from last time. The rest, maybe at Ollie's.

I love it.....paint is period correct killer! Where did you get the decals?

First off I'd scuff the surface to knock down the shine then use a good primer. Then I'd switch paint to something designed for plastics.

Alexis, I agree with a lot of what you're saying but disagree with you in to some degree. We currently have several early 70's pickups available. Moebius is knocking it out of the park with their Ford pick ups. As for the 32's, how many thousands of them are on shelves? I saw one of these trikes at show this spring and screwed up and passed on it on the first look. Went back and someone had beat me to it. As for the price, two trikes in one box, that would be more enticing. I know the Honda trikes share a lot of parts, nothing else they could be bought with the two bodies for the Mailbox and the Digger although for the minimal extra plastic, there should be two trikes in one box for $28. One for $28, it will have to be 40% off for me to consider it.

What would be interesting would be to see either the Roth or AMT's T modified into a Ivo/Kookie Kar kit. It seems with a few parts swapped and decals and you could do both.

I doubt she'll get what its worth on a piece by piece basis. I think somewhere between $5000-10,000 would get it. What I see, seems closer to the $5000 simply due to the expense of reselling. The promos will be worth significantly less unless she has boxes. I also see built kits falling in value due to the number of reissues; Round 2, new Revell, Salvinos and now Atlantis.

So the trikes will be dead on arrival? At $21, they'll sell at $28, I really hope HL carries them so I can use the coupon. If not I'll wait until they're worthless on eBay or shows.
