Coming this year from Atlantis models
Dave Van replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Revell did it back in the day. Been a while IIRC -
The whole Cali wildfire thing is pretty hard to believe.
Dave Van replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I saw video footage of a guy with old school blow torch being held by some people that caught him starting fires. What kind of Satan processed people are running wild out there???? NOT the So-Cal I grew up in. Thx MY 60's So-Cal home...... -
The whole Cali wildfire thing is pretty hard to believe.
Dave Van replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Living in So Cal 1960-70 they need to go back to methods of that era. Back then the hills were covered with Fire Roads, paths 12-14 feet wide that were kept free of any growth. Controlled burns were common, Water management was very different. All these things were undone via the Green folks.......which must prefer fire over preventive measures. IMHO ONLY -

Allan Moffat's 1969 Trans-Am Mustang
Dave Van replied to ShawnS's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
As someone that has been working on 65-73 Mustangs for 45 years AND someone trying to learn 3D art......this is all very well done. -
NOT dumping on HPI.......BUT saying that bent A pillars are normal and nothing can be done to keep it from happening is WRONG. My old Monogram issue of the kit has good A pillars!!!! At $60+ I expect a good product. IF I buy the Revell issue of it and has bent A pillars it goes back!!!

Big Lots did model dumps years ago. I got the IH Payhauler 350 there years ago for $20 which at the time was just OK -
Model Kits in Love's truck stop
Dave Van replied to RSchnell's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
R2 has been selling slot car (truck) set there for over a year. Make sense they would add kits to the slot car sets. The sets sell out fast so I am sure there are more coming. My neighbor does most to the ground prep work for Love's and the owner has a vacation cabin near us..... -

Model building on youtube.

Those statements do not keep me watching or from watching.....but his content is not so fantastic that negative comments go un-noticed. And with Thousands of model building chammels....to each his own!! -
Model building on youtube.
Dave Van replied to Force's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I watch HPI unbox on every video and then bail. The negativity towards him comes from. I FEEL, comments like 'Yes there is a lot of flash...but if you can't handle it go back to Mom's basement'. He has a number of like sayings and it turns off many. More ower to him. -

Model building on youtube.
Dave Van replied to Force's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have a number of YouTube model videos over there. I do not do How To as I figure there are plenty of those already and most of us know how to bild. I may mention how I did something.....but no ste by step. Plus mine are ALL under 5 minutes so you don't spend a day watch. I look at it as sharing your work, like we do here, in a different format. Thanks https://www.youtube.com/@davevan8864 -
Fantastic build!!!! Neat, clean and great paint. I love movie cars!! I am a little bias owning a real 46 Fat Ford!!!
