Do You Recycle Your Old Builds?
Dave Van replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Just finished this one for the second time...... Built in the early 1990's I placed it in a display case. Fell off the desk, case stayed closed but it was in many many pieces!!! Put it in storage.....found it last week.....decided to rebuild it. 20 some years later!!! -
Put ALL the custom stuff back.....I'll buy a few of them.....otherwise I don't need one.
-
I'd bet it's the vintage 57 in original art box....improved decals......that's been the standard method.

There are a number of Charger police cars in the film.....but they get little screen time. Easiest time to spot them is at the end during the news coverage of the Mystery Men, and gal. I want to build the Vette limo too.
-
Correct......the Charger is from 'Mystery Men' a number of cool cars in the movie. Vette limo, 59 Rambler etc...

2016 Roush Racing Ford Fusion

You'd be better off getting a die cast NASCAR Mustang......you can find last years versions cheap. -
2016 Roush Racing Ford Fusion
Dave Van replied to Jhedir6's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
Pretty sure Platos is using the OKI white laser printer along with a color version. It's out there on the net.....very $$$$ I still prefer the screen printed method I use for mine. -
Per R2 paint and glue required......I gave them a number of options for the Dukes snap kit....maybe someday....
-
Or is it this version???? I asked about it when R2 fixed the roof.........Maybe a stock with custon 2n1??

-
Your build looks great to me!!! Considering that mold may have produced over a million kits over 50 plus years.....you did well.

eBay Scammer Afoot!
Dave Van replied to MrObsessive's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Newbie has the same protection if they follow the rules as us that have been on for 20 years. The scammers are hoping they can get the money, withdraw it before they are discovered. IF they do ebay and paypal take the hit.....but it is such a small percentage overall.....it's considered 'cost of doing business'. End of the story.....ebay sellers stand to loose MUCH more than any buyer ever can. Just use your basic living skills. -
eBay Scammer Afoot!
Dave Van replied to MrObsessive's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
While I agree it looks 100% like a scammer........as a BUYER it is VERY difficult to get scammed on ebay.....if you have an average IQ. I have been using ebay since 1998 and NEVER been taken as a BUYER. I have been inconvenienced a number of times......last time was this week. I bought a socket wrench organizer tray. Seller was a scammer, I never got it.....filed a claim and got my money in four days after ebay delivery date was missed. SO I was out my money for a week or two....but got 100% of it back. So was I scammed or just inconvenienced??? I have been scammed a few times outside ebay by people stealing my money when I ordered something and never delivered.....bet most of us here have. But never on ebay.....is ebay perfect...NO......but I do not worry much about any scammers.
