I own a 25 watt table laser. I use CorelSraw as design and input to laser. Cost ranges from $2 a minute plus set up to $10 a minute depends on who and what machine used.

Dare to be different!!!!! I hate cookie cutter rods.......nothing boring there!!!!

Two notes........ My laser cut kit was cut from a high grade styrene plastic and thus was VERY close to a exact copy of the vintage kit. It assembled like any production kit with same techniques. I also did a Cashbox, Yeller and Mixer kits as well...... Two....... Now wait.......I voice my dislike for folks that come into a post and only post negative comments or how stupid something is.......But if I do the same thing I'm the bad guy?!?!?!?!! Seems like to me it's all fair....per your rules....right??? Not buying a kit is fine......getting to a almost personal level about how stupid a kit is.....to the folks that DO live these parts of our childhood.....take it personal. Thanks

I'm with John......like I had to say that as I spent a lot of time engineering that laser kit and money cutting and kitting them. But why all the negative attitude??? That's a HUGE issue today in social Media and one reason I don't participate at any level other than maybe 4-5 forums. I really do not like seeing people be so negative about something that does not affect them.......I really DO wish people had the same passion over things happening in real life today that ARE affecting them and every one around them. But that's hard..... and negativity on FaceSpace or a forum is easy. Oh well.........Slam away haters......

I worked on that Model King version....I did the decal art. Sean S did a build up....a very nice build. He trimmed the window trim on the windshield and scribed new trim. A few other small corrections made a nice model. Maybe he will spot this and post it.

I bought a GREAT item from JCW years ago. I had a 1970 Mustang sportsroof. A idler pulley on the A/C belt went bad. I had a old friction bearing that was sealed. JCW made a pulley assembly with a ball bearing with grease fitting. Made a big difference.......nice part.

Good start!! I like that kit.....simple as it is. I used aftermarket Jagermister (sp?) decals as I love orange cars!!!

Nice work!!! It's the only Monogram big bomber kit I don'y have....need one.

I build both?????

I saw it April at the Mustang 50th at Charlotte Motor Speedway.....much better in person for sure. For all of May-Sept I looked for the exact 2014 Mustang to go with my 66 2+2 and 68 coupe.....but never found it....and bought a Civic coupe!!!

Sorry....I'm easy to confuse!!!!!

Revell's 2007 kits were not 100% correct for that year. The COT or Gen6 car is 100% different. Chassis is very different with enclosed drive shaft, wider than 2007 and different roll cage. Bodies shared nothing at all. Revell's engine was somewhat generic....so a new one of those needed.....maybe tires would have transferred over.....nothing else. Revell had to tool a all new kit or stop making them. The uproar over tiny things on recent kits would be nothing compared to a NASCAR 2014 kit with 2007 chassis.

Nice track.......but I built a routed track back in the day....I had one turn with the lanes squeezed together....that got old fast and I said I'd never do that again on a track........but I never scratch built a track again!!! This high dollar track has them all over.....bet it would get old fast!!

VERY nice work!!!! Always wanted a 1/1 version.......

Should have been some info at iHobby if they are doing anything......

A great build there for sure....... I too like these Monogram Classic car kits. They go together well....but have lots of little things to put on!!! My Packagrd from Monogram......

I too saw it at Toledo Saturday........I'd buy it as is....but it will be better when ready for sale.

I still have some Atlantic Emerson Lake and Palmer 8 tracks......they were molded in bright PINK.......it was claimed that was to deter bootleggers......

I still have that one in my collection. I kinda think the model below was inspired by that HW. I had always wanted to do a hot rod dump truck..... This is what I ended up with. Now that the AMT C cab is out again....I'll build another..... 1/25 scale BTW with Muscle Machine wheels and tires

The SNL skit that had the 'in' phone that was the size of a quarter!!!!

BUT........if you went back to 1968 and told your buddy that those flip open communicators you saw on Star Trek last night would be in everybody's hands by year 2000...... that not only could you talk to anyone anywhere, take photos or movies.......they'd say you were crazy!!! Then tell them that most people only used them to type messages and take photos of their lunch burger and not to TALK to each other.......and locked up you would be!!!!!!

YUCK!!!!! I give the Studie and Corsair a pass.....the rest ......'look how much money I can spend'......

Not the same as what you are doing......... But here is my Hot Wheels IMSA Cougar racer. Started as a NASCAR Thunderbird. Modified the body to more Cougar like IMSA body and custom decals. Built to look as if Mattel had done it.

Polar Lights and Johnny Lightning both are in business and making viable, not PERFECT, but some nice product. If Moebius goes down that same path I think that can be good...... This forum alone has had a number of GREAT Hudson and Chrysler builds posted......you may have missed them if you have no interest in them.

To many flaws in todays kits???? You are always free to start your own company qnd show the others up!!! But I know first hand how much time that will take from your life!!!!
