  1. Cool spin!! Same story I heard Tom G.........I recall how it was such a high dollar kit before the reissue. First one I ever saw was at Toledo. Never saw it first issue.....and I lived in So Cal!!
  2. Nice clean build.......and a AMC to boot!!!!
  3. I like that kit and yours is looking good...... Kit has just enough detail for a casual build. Mine in Tamiya green......
  4. Any Tamiyas 1/12 kit........I like the Wolf and other 70's era cars myself......Tyrell a bit more challenging (6 wheeler)
  5. As I am a 'Adult Fan of Lego' and model building....COOL!! Just a kit build...but I like crash trucks
  6. Cool...but never seen that one!!! I recall a robot similar in Warner Bros cartoons that just had a light bulb for a head!!
  7. Always loved that odd kit.......will be watching....
  8. This???? It's the old IMC Testors kits with new decals and box art.
  9. I might add to Charlies good suggestions a gold under coat. I like the spoon test too......works for me.
  10. Vintage trucks hold much more appeal to me than any other era. I know this is not a true correct factory stock build....but I like it. So anything kit wise in that era would be great....even just parts.....wheels, tires etc.
  11. MORE DELAYS in the S&H Torino???? Really???? It was set for a Oct 2014 release now Oct 2015 but it is pushed back further??? With HUNDREDS of the real cars available all over the country I don't understand the problem. A real car, say an rare exotic hand built car, I can see issues in doing a kit.......a common American sedan......odd.......
  12. You gotta remember The owner of Moebius has a personal connection to Hudsons, they won a lot of races and have a more positive history than many cars of the era. . Good subject matter. Can't say whats next.......only a few at the top of Moebius could....... But I do know if we keep buying.....they keep making!!!
  13. Hudson + steam punk + slat flats = COOL!!!
  14. GREAT concept!!! I have a Modelhaus teardrop that would work as well!!!! Like I need a project!
  15. Richie Panch NASCAR stocker. Chassis from any Nodel King stock car kit. Street machine inspired by Clint Eastwood........
  16. Where is the area that in the old forum showed topics you had replied to?? I'd vote no if I had a say....
  17. I have seen some great N scale layouts built on those cheap interior doors....3' x 6.5' .....sturdy and easy to move or stand on end during down time. $20 locally.....
  18. It is a bash of a 'kit'. I say bash as the kit has 4 walls and a roof.....nothing else. I shortened it about 6 scale feet and made the foundation, roof details and interior, signs etc. LED lighting is hidden. It is 1/48 scale and will be in my downtown section which will be about 8 x 16 feet of just city.....to show off cars of the era and buildings. Thanks
  19. Let's see....... N, HO, HOn3, O3r, On30 and G (1/24) The Intermodal is scratchbuilt O scale 1/48 notin finer than a Diner Ore car 1/48 30 inch gauge
  20. I am often confused......but owning a 68 notch....not this time.....
  21. 65-66 notch back rear window is 100% different than a 67-68. It is inset and has very minor sail panels. To get a correct one.....plastic and lots of work.... I have a 1/1 in the garage if you need pics.
  22. Issues aside.......One of the best replica stock builds of that kit. I don't recall any issues....but in a stock car build you bypass many possible problems. Tamiya paints, PPP wheels/tires and Penngwen decals.
  23. Another one gone from a great era of road racing......RIP John....
