  2. First Moonraker sighting!! thx
  3. Glad you got it finished up!!!! Looks great...was waiting to start one until you finished! thx
  4. My wallet is going to take a beating
  5. Thanks just do not look to close!!!! It's the Fast Times movie car that I wanted minimum effort. Note new wheels and tires too!!! Thanks
  6. It's a old Revell tool that saw life as the CHiPs kit and others. IIRC it is related to this Camaro, which is a sorry kit.....semi snap.....but needs glue to hold it together.....
  7. PS i used fine sand in the bottom of the tank too!!!
  8. I used a small aquarium to display my Star Wars Jawa Sandcrawler. It was about $20 but I had to make a top for it.
  9. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!
  10. The ultimate movie car build of all time!!!!! Maybe just build period!!!! WOW.........I love the film.....the model is equal to it!!!! CONGRATS
  11. Both look good!
  12. Went this morning to Lewisburg store......nothing at all new. Started out and spotted a Avanti all alone in a play-doh display........asked if there were others and they said no......ODD
  13. I'll be near my Ollie's for Dr appt in morning....hope for a Lotus and Studie kit
  14. Not sure how to rate 3D weather it is scratch building or not??? Like many things lots of variables. I got this 1/48 O scale Cass RR passenger car this week. It is just flat prints and needs LOTS of details added. It is a basic body that will be a lot different when I finish it. Where 3D fits in?? Not sure yet!
  15. Sounds like you did everything right. Good thing you were there. Thank God it ended as it did.
  16. If anyone is excited about the 1/20 scale Toyota reissue I accept thinks via Paypal!!!!!! I wanted this kit for many years. It always sold WAY above my comfort level. BUT one day I found one missing wheels and tires for $25!!! I bought it knowing I'd never see it cheap again. I then bought a Tamiya 1/20 Porsche kit, much cheaper and used the wheels and tires to cast all new wheels and tires for my Toyota....being to cheap to junk the Porsche kit !!! So I spent a lot of time and money on RTV and resin.......THAT made a reissue a for sure!!!! I'll get one for sure!!! Thanks
  17. I've built that kit showroom stock and the soft top version as a street rod. Looks like a good start......good luck!
  18. How well I know!!! My original Monogram Dragon Wagon went to China so it could be cloned into reissue 'Circus Wagon'. So if you have one....it's a copy of mine!!! Old tooling, if salvageable, is still cheaper than a clone new tool. Issue comes in when the tooling is missing so much a new tool is cheaper. That is why old tooling is looked at.....IN HOPE it's usable.
  19. I have no isea what is in store from this new JoHan. This I do know for fact. Okey never had the resources buy/fix/run the abandoned JoHan tooling that is out there. Accurate Miniatures looked at the tooling, both the JoHan airplane and automotive kits, Never able to make a deal that could work. Moebius looked at the same tooling and passed at the price offered. Again I have no idea what these guys will do....but do not hold your breath for what old JoHan tooling that is out there floating around. I worked for all the above when this went down. thx
  20. All functions working here......many thanks to all!!!
  21. Nothing new Lewisburg WV 11/21
  22. You have killed my desire to build this one!!!! I can't even get close to your work!!! Unreal work!!! I will follow you Caddy after you finish it in my Plowboy..............
  23. Really well done! May pick it up. I have the Revell 1/200 twin kit too. Wonder if Atlantis has it??
