  1. It's dead Jim.........a SAD day for sure

  3. Nice work on all 3!! I have built the Baldwin.....want the others!
  4. Maybe some of the limited Indy kits will only be at Salvinos but a few are listed as coming soon on hobby retail websites.....so who knows. And yes $80 is too much. But if they did a Indy 70's era McLaren and it was right....I'd have to have one to go with my 70's era F1 collection. Thx
  5. Nice work on all the builds. If Salvins wants me to pay $80 on a indy car kit.....make cars of this era!!!!
  6. Spent entire weekend on real car work. But I got 3D printed seats today so did a interior mock up. Thanks for looking
  7. I fabbed the hood today. Needs minr details yet but basics done. Thanks for looking.
  8. Kool!! Like the paint scheme
  9. Went Monday to HL, picked up AMT 60 Ford p/u and Revell Saturn V rocket at 40% off. A DEAL!
  10. That is a surprise.......as stated Revell had that tooling (Cop Out) recently. Both these kits are the same other than bodies and decals. Wonder if they will get the OK for the Hot Wheels logos??
  11. Some paint on chassis. Sprint car wing. Headers are just sitting, will be much different. Thanks for looking
  12. The powers that be want everyone to move to a Facebook version of the site. I do not do Facejunk so a huge loss. Been there from the start. SAD
  13. I did one with a chop but looking at the HW it looks stock.....and the model was to squat to me. Thx!!
  14. Front of frame started. Good to be at the bench again!! Going for a cross Steam Punk and Mad Max! thx
  15. Thanks to the entire crew.......nuff said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Day one of Rat Rig. Inspiration is in background. Will not be exact....just inspiration! Revell snap Pete, Mobius rear tires, S'Cool bus engines and front wheel/tires. Thanks
  17. I see R2 is reissue the Chrysler Kit car Dodge Dart kit in a green paint scheme......................
  18. I am not exactly known as a drag race model builder. But I want to build a Monogram BADMAN and it needed someone to race. I wanted something different and I may have chosen the wrong kit to modify. But here it is. Monogram 53 Chevy kit with a lot of parts box stuff.....some of which I have no idea where it came from. Cut the hood hole wrong so she runs w/o it!! Tamiya paint, Gofers and my own decals. Tinted the window orange. Thanks for looking.
  19. Atlantis kits have been in Joann's for about a year now. Wife goes there often so I check kits in store. 40-50% of is the norm if you have coupon. Also they offer free shipping at times on online orders.
  20. GOOD....I got one mail order and want another now!!! Thx
  21. No inside info here just lots of retail exsperence. R2/AMT sold out the first run of the 60 Ford before they landed. The 2nd run is also about sold out. As long as the kit is this hot there is no need to sell to any mass merchandiser like HL. Once sales cool some R2 may offer the kit at the discount MM need. Until then no MM sales. Just IMHO ONLY!
  22. Ordered the Swamp Rat and Mongoose RE today......also Cave Bear and Sabre!!! Thx Atlantis
  23. Nice clean work! I am building this kit now as a scale version of my real GT350R tribute. Hope it comes out as well.
