  1. Very nice work!!!! I have the kit....want to build this one.......what movie???
  2. The CARS deal and the Star Wars licensing come under a granfather clause from what I understand. (both companies hold these) The CARS IP is really owned by Pixar (I know Disney now owns them same as SW) The other Disney owned IP's were used by R2 at one time but bet they get no new licensing of IP's that are now Disney. A model train company looked at a train from the live action 'Dumbo' but the cost was more than they could cover. Just what I understand anyway.
  3. Another one I want to build! I think it's a Model AA.....wheels are out there...or close...
  4. That kit would mean dealing with Disney.........the toughest and most costly licensing out there. Notice you do not see and Disney licensing on hobby products. Lionel did in the 1970's before Disney thought they were GOLD.
  5. I wanted one too....but figured we'd never get it. SO........
  6. Testors tube glue will not hold long. CA can work as do solvents made for ABS. I like 5 minute epoxy.
  7. In NC I was buying, mid 1980's, 16 oz glass bottle Cokes at my local gas station........they were a very light green but green tint. The NC Coke bottler, CCCC is bigger than the parent Coke Co of Atlanta.....or was back then. So things may differ by region.
  8. YUP....a lighter green glass.....you have to be old to have bought them!!!!
  9. 95% of the race car models kitted since the 1980's are 1/24 scale.......
  10. I've seen pre orders around $43
  11. So we have had some laughs with the Coca-Cola licensing @ R2.....but now high end model train manufacture LGB is going the same way with a entire line of Coke trains......Must sell!!!!!!
  12. Very cool!!
  13. got a bunch N/A this morning
  14. Tamiya has made a cobalt green in TS spray but there is no TS number. Looks like they will issue it as a TS again. This is the TS cobalt green
  15. Great finish and colors.
  16. Getting kicked out to a generic 'model' search site.........after 3-4 tries I get in.
  17. Nice work!!! That kit can be a bear to get to look that good.
  18. What are the Mustangs with the Raptors?? 1/18 kits????
  19. I use the 'two AMT Thunderbird chassis' method. Easy and quick. I bought a bag full of AMT 90's era parts for $5 and that supplied a lot!
  20. I NEED A BUNCH!!!!!
  21. Lindberg just cloned the bodies off AMT....much cheaper than designing new CAD.
  22. Ethanol boils down govt support for corn prices. As stated above it's a negative o a energy index.
  23. Nice clean work!!!
  24. You are correct.....not having it in our region I mix up the fuels you can use. Thanks
