The 'other' Graffiti cars ?
Dave Van replied to 57peppershaker's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have built a few AG cars but not as many as planned......... Steve/Toad 58 from Revell kit.....it was going to be a die cast but Revell changed their mind. Modelhaus wheels and Caddy tail lights. For a more obscure AG car how about the T bucket Milner is talking to while sitting in the parking lot??? We never see it clearly so I did a best guess version.... -
WOW....great work!! I like the real car and would love a model. My neighbor bought a new one back in the day.....just like this....
-
That's an old box art.....done mostly for WalMart run of kits. All had that logo on them and almost all of them had bad box art. The hood fits on the model....someone didn't even look at it when they spent 3 minutes doing the box photo.

Cool spin!!!! I used the Paddy kit to make a Veggie seller car.....this kit lends itself well. -

We did this with the Model King reissued MPC stock car kits. We included the decals to make 'Name' drivers but jumbled up.....the modeler just cut them up to make a real car......but we had no time or money to license 3 drivers for each kit. It can and is done. -

All SIX trikes will return.......maybe the Milk trike will have the Coke decals!!!!!

It's the Real Thing...
Dave Van replied to iamsuperdan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The new tool snap 69 Charger is a decent tool.....the hood suffers the same issue the old MPC tooling has from the Daytona conversion. It is dead flat without and bull nose shape to it.My corrected Dirty Mary version of the DoH snap kit. -

I'm a Coke or nothing (soft drink) guy....and I'd have a 69 Charger in my garage if I could....but the 1/1 is wrong........ -
1/25 AMT 1977 Ford Delivery Van w/Coke Machine
Dave Van replied to Casey's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
CORRECT -
It's a often over looked kit. The only issue I had was between the air filter housing and hood....watch it. My box stock build with kit shirts. PS the raised area on the hood scoops should be sanded down....did not know when I built mine!

1/25 AMT 1977 Ford Delivery Van w/Coke Machine
Dave Van replied to Casey's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
WELL!!!!! not a Van fan???? Kidding...I got one....coke bottles are clear green with decals for different eras....and the machine is different than other Coke machines offered. Neat decals for all too. May need another! -
Very sorry for your loss.....
-
I realize the differences....but 99% of public will not....so I bet we see decals and gumballs added as is.
-
With the modern modular tooling this will show up as other kits I am sure. Police, taxi or fire. Then mix parts trees with 2 door....more versions.

My first model
Dave Van replied to Constructiongeek's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Good pick! These Revell kits go together well and look good. Folks here will be happy to help if you have questions. This is my Revell snap KW from the same series. Box stock build -

Dave Van replied to swede70's topic in Diecast Corner
I should say the 'need' for the changes......like I did not see the A pillars were the wrong color.....but your fix then made them stand out. Not sure I can do $300 or not...but I'll watch yours! -

The upgrades look great....even I did not see them until you noted them. -
How are Aoshima/Fujimi/Hasegawa kits?
Dave Van replied to dmthamade's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Some of the kits from those brands can be from the 70's and were motorized.....so it varies greatly. Kinda like 'how much to cut down a tree??' Depends on tree......this answer depends on which kit. -

Art Dump Truck (Holy Cow!)
Dave Van replied to Bills72sj's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks for the info.....to rich for me for that!!!! My 1/32 version was under $10 shipped.....that I'll pay! -
I have seen every SW film first showing first day. Ep 9 is OK, better than Ep 8 for sure. As many plot holes as baby Swiss cheese....but worth seeing once anyway. Doubt I'll see it 20 times like I saw the original!!!!
