hELLO DID ANYONE OUT THERE ATTEND AND OR ENTER INTO THIS CONTEST WHICH WAS HELD FRI-SAT IN MADISON HEIGHTS ,MI.???

Love that engine bay.... nicely done Bravo!!!

I was gonna ask the same thing!! Did you ater it at all? The rear wheels look a lil low But maybe its me. Otherwise a good build of what looks like a decaling nightmare. Were the jagged lightning bolts decals too?

Hell Zuk I cant watch it either and know next to nothing about the rules or regs!!!! I would watch it also ..I have cable(comcast) and have never seen a rally either. Not gonna stop posting..seems like when I do there is some discussion about it

Yeah this site seems more tailored to the 20s-80s cars.Nothing wrong with that.Ive been telling myself Im gonna build a 70s camaro but I havent made any progress yet. That build will fit right in here.All I do is primarily rally.f1.and race cars.I feel a little out of place here. But its a good site though. Check out my Red Bull Focus on here

Wow had no idea a pug was a dog...ololololololololololololoololololololo Yeah I really really should have explained!!!! Hey dave the pic you posted was unclear it says deleted ill try to get it out of there and post another in its place!! Hey #1 amateur I didnt know we (the U.S.) couldnt import them? I dont know why not.... hell we import everything else And i say this as a die-hard U.A.W. worker at one of the big(lil)3

My bad guys I had assumed you guys would know what a Pug is. I should have explained in the topic part.... my mistake. I know this type of car isnt usually posted here.as not many people will be familiar with it.Hell I know im not...but as I used to subscribe to road and track magazine way way back, I did know the company.They used to make those funny headlights on their cars. How many of you remember that???? I like these little rally cars they build up cool. Rallying isnt big here in the states. The closet thing we have here in the states is the Baja 1000..I think... do they still run that event???Anyway this car is kinda cool to me it looks good.Peugeot is the second largest car maker in europe.... its French heres what its based on http://www.nextcar.com.au/i.peugeot.307.CC.red.top.04aug.JPG Hey Dave more can be found here..a lil w.i.p. http://s715.photobucket.com/albums/ww151/g...%20307%20%20II/

Looks good to me ..and with it being black no need for trim..eh! Does the kit come with precut masks? Ive been thinking about getting this kit

wher did you get those rims are they kit?...For the yellow ferrari

Well I for one would love to know what site and what you did? Im a member of several different forums and all I do is post models and ask model related questions. This is one forum where people are more friendly and not judgemental.One forum Im on the quality is so nice I sometimes feel my work is inferior when I post. But I do anyway because I have raised my modeling bar high. this forum is more"shall we say"personal imho. I like that its a real friendly atomosphere here. The admins will occasionally tolerate some independent thought which I like!!!

lololololololololololololololololololololololololololo If that were too happen then he would have a point.....as is maybe his tinfoil hat fell off LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Thats really a good one mm

Do you mind citing some of these parallels that you speak of? I dont think you can compare him to hitler thats a very strong statement I dont think he is trying to wipe out a whole race of people!! Our current president is a lot better than our last one.

Yeah it looks like a good build up. Dont really like the red roll cage though Are those the kit wheels?

Well all I can say is as one of the haves I think since im in a position to help others I do. I have no problem with helping out the less fortunate of us.I personally feel as its my duty not as an american but as a fellow human being.Im not saying give away your life savings but its nothing wrong with helping out those who are less fortunate than us.

I totally agree with you on that subject. The media is much too powerful now. Gone are the days of real reporting.Now its about what sells the most, If boeing blows an engine on an airplane people think the airplane is unsafe..a deathtrap no one says Hey Boeing doesnt even make engines.only airplanes...Thats pratt and whitneys fault. Its all about style over substance. In my honest opinion America is going the way of rome(lol) The parrellels are astonishing(lol)

As someone who works in the industry(chrysler).I have a slightly different perspective. Personally I think its GMs mangement team... all the big three management fault. As a member of that group they should have seen all these problems years and years ago But no IF you ask me they ran them into the ground.They could have looked at the trends in the 80s 90s whenever. They have been losing marketshare for years. But do they make changes NO..oh sure they hire a new vp or director of sales or something.But in essence these bigwigs get in power and leave with "packages" and bonuses and !@#$. Theyre like coaches they just get recycled. The germans came in brought chrysler....robbed it blind then sold it off...totally uncool Personally I think there needs to be some sort of regulation against how many imports can be allowed in the country. Other countries do us like that whats wrong with if i sell you 2 million you buy 2 million(lol) But when you have former big 3 executives lobbying on behalf of the imports its kinda hard.Hell we taught them how to build cars. They said thanks and learned what NOT to do. Plus the whole asian mindset and mentality is so different from americans. America is becoming a nation of consumers and not producers. Its always sad when a giant of the industry is in trouble. Same thing about Boeing the world got mad at the greedy americans putting their aircraft manufacturers out of business. They couldnt compete with boeing so they all ganged up and made airbus. Which to me just goes to show you no one likes a BIG DOG when it comes to nations.Gotta try to swipe at ther legs every now and then. I think im rambling now Ill stop

Ok guys what kit do I need for the "movie correct version. Yeah mirage your right the first bb I ever saw was a VW bug!! Dont think my son would know that though. As far as product trends go Im a UAW worker so anything which pumps up the industry Im all for!! I remember GM had a big thing with the matrix movies.The caddys(escalade and CTS) or whatever it was,I think that stuff is good for business and Im sure they probably have to pay big money to do that. Maybe Ill just get the amt camaro and do a current BB. Do they have correct decals in the box?

Hey all ive posted and lurked here a couple of times. So now I thought Id do a w.i.p. This is a mild tribute to my 8yr old son. I took him to see transformers 2 after we watched the first one together.(BTW best movie Ive seen all year). Now every time he sees a yellow car he shouts out BUMBLEBEE. Since I dont have a 09 camaro in my stash thought Id sustitute this one. Dont even know if its the right year.But I do know in the first movie he was an "Old School" camaro first. This is a kit that Id started awhile back and never finished.So its partially primed and painted: Better shot? Anyone else ever used this (imo) crappy stuff I stripped the body first thats why it look yellow! That primer is really thick.No good at all.You guys in the" know" correct me on what year he was initially! (BumbleBee)

Yeah other than that little blip everything looks spot on. Dont know how to tell you to fix it but sure someone will come to your aid

Yeah I wish tamiya would do engines again! I think they used to on their older rally cars but I could be wrong.Someone help me out!! The hell if I know Everything is straight out the box built and painted as per instructions.Like to build rally cars but not really a fan of the sport so I have absolutely no idea!! Cmon someone answer the mans questions. I know there are some purists out there :

Personally I think the chrome is too toyish Maybe strip it and then alclad it. Just my opinion but overall looks nice with a good interior
