Revell recent Fast and Furious Eclipse. Stalled in 2015 due to ADHD and other issues. A decent kit that went together with no issues. Tamiya Light Green paint. 100% box stock build. Kinda liked it w/o decals....but it is a movie car so on they went....

Are those bodies available??? Joe Frasson ran one too.....I was at the track the day Joe beat it with the drive shaft!! Excellent work BTW!!!

The last issue of the 'Lindberg' 34 Ford had the all chrome TB engine and all versions of the 'bed'.....stock, flatbed and tow. Wheels have changed a few times.....as have tires.....but kit still contains LOTS of original parts. The 40 Ford does look like a copy of the AMT....but not 'cloned'.....fit is not as good....not as many parts....but not a horrible kit. From last issue of 34........

While I have no info on the 'Mint' tooling.....there is somewhat a law in China that items made in China are subject to numerous laws and rules. Most of these are made so companies can't flee to the next low cost manufacturing country taking their 'China' made tooling. So I can see what you said happen.

This stalled project is one of the 'newest' stalled project....started in early 2015. It stalled when some major family issues came up....and I got bogged down in details. The real car was a Holden wagon......needless to say not a lot of 1/25 Holden Wagons on the market. But I noted that the Holden looked much like a modified 56 Chevy....so I grabbed a Monogram 56 sedan and a 57 wagon.....both cheap and easy to find. Suspension was raised with Plastruct shapes, tires from the parts box. The 'plow' and it's rack are all scratchbuilt from plastic and brass....it moves up and down like the real one. Blower scoop is a oxygen tank cut down. Salt method was used for the flaked paint. All that's left is the harpoon cable.....need to string it after I find a good cable. Harpoon is scratchbuilt and moves. One more down.......thx

NICE!! Is the HEMI kit the same basic kit as the AG II rail kit?? I'd like to build one someday. thx

Very nice.....love the push bar

Nice.....clean build.....a favorite.

Where's mine!!!! I shouldn't complain......I got a great deal from them a few weeks ago....they had a big sale AND they had another 10% off if you took a kit survey.....made my ICM kit almost cheap!!!

FIRST person to get it!!!!! thanks

Very nice work!! Love seeing cars of the era.....I have only two complete....but want to build more.

a little more work done.........

No more Tyrell, Brabham or Wolf for sure........

The typical F1 hospitality traveling unit cost what a good NASCAR Cup team......good luck to them....but doubt they get much TV time in the back. I still watch when I can.....but give me 70's and even 80's.......

kinda reminds me of this from 'Sunset Blvd'

I do not think Haas really has the depth in talent or cash. Wanr an American in F1?? 2017 Danica will be in a Haas F1 car.....rescued from a sinking SH NASCAR team. Haas wants it.....Bernie wants it......Danica needs a light open wheel car to win again.

kinda like it!!

I've accepted I have bought my last Modelhaus items. I fully understand why they are swamped, fantastic product......just seems ordering adds to their problems. Thanks Don and Carol.

Here's mine.....inspired by a movie vehicle......... Wheels and tires are off a toy.....closer to stock that kit supplied. I'd love to see Revell tool stock wheels and reissue.

I too like that kit. I just glue the doors closed. Nice clean build.

A group in Charleston that has a contest and vendor show.

Thanks all!!!!

Inspired by a drawing of a London Custom Bus I started this MANY years ago. My goal of finishing some of my many stalled projects.....this one is next. The body and seats were designed in CorelDraw and cut in ,030 sheet plastic on my 25 watt laser table. The model sralled because the model was not coming out as I had hoped. But this much work....... I need to finish. Thanks for lookin!!!

This model is as much a show car than actual drag car. Started as a Tom Daniel S'cool bus kit....converted from duel motor to a single with shortened chassis. This project was started back 2012 and stalled after I finished the chassis and body work....but stalled when I could not decide paint and graphics......so I just picked and hoped for the best!! I made the conventional bus into more a city 'flat nose' bus to mirror a certain movie vehicle!! Tall injector stacks are from a AMT Beetle Bus (soon to be reissued) most of the rest kit parts or sheet stock. K&S tinted clear stock for windows, reg clear for front windshield. Tamiya paints and my own decals. I will clear it in a week or two but will not look different....calling it 'stalled #2 complete' Thanks

I can reply here.....but still 404 Error on new post?????
