  1. Rattler is up for pre-order now at Atlantis
  2. The thing is R2 has the chassis tooling as they issued Cobra/Serpent kit which contains the same chassis as Stage. At this point....who knows. If Atlantis OR R2 has the majority of tooling I'd be more than happy to help in any way. I gave Monogram my dragon wagon to copy........done it with a few others......but I do not think any one is willing to chance it.....IE investing in a Stage kit. Thanks
  3. Why bump up prices to $20???? Not the deal they were @$13.........Or like a few in my stash with $6.99 Ollite's stickers!!!
  4. RUMOR......RUMOR....has it at Lindberg when R2 bought all their tooling. Only 2-3 people at R2 know for sure.
  5. ZZR was cut up to make Firebug sadly.........ZZR is another grail! Here is part of my Pyro stash....
  6. The Lindberg Bull Horn and the Serpent kits were all part of the 1/16 kits that all share a chassis. There are 4-5 different kits in the series. Decent kits really for their age.
  7. Koo Koo, Cashbox and the Pyro 1/16 Stage Ghost were all rumored.......wonder if we will see any of them. Stage is a grail.
  8. Just finished one favorite of mine!!!
  9. @ $250 I may make my own. I did it with Yeller and Hot Dogger before they came back and I offered a Cashbox kit for a while!!! Thx
  10. Nope.....never happened. I think finding Hot dogger and a few other showrods at Ollies being dumped meant Koo Koo got cancelled. I'd buy a few if it happens.......Let Steve G or John know you want one!!!! thx
  11. My buddy in So Cal and I had a little contest to build a box art model. I picked the retooled AMT 1966 Mustang fastback. Box stock, Tamiya Bright Red can. I did change out the rear tires to AMT MH slicks. I also did change out the driver name decal to that of my friend Bill.....decal is in the kit!!! I found the kit body had a rough texture that took a lot of work to get decent. Decals are get but cut stripes to size BEFORE you apply as hey are nice and white but brittle......and I used 2 sets. Thanks
  12. I did the artwork for Gofer and that sheet. All the names are inspired by real drag cars. Gofer owner and I came up with most of them during a lunch break one day. Thanks
  13. Modelhaus did a nice curbside. I have one yet to build as I can't pick a color!!!!
  14. Nice detail work!!!! My brother in law had a real JPS version........drivers foot box is not that big!!!
  15. Really well done!!!! I built that car when the Revell kit first came out.....but I did not 4 door it and paint is simplified.
  16. Indycals does custom printing.
  17. Says it was shoen at NY Toy Fair by Revell
  18. Testors leased the tooling. Okey Spalding has the AMX promo tolling still, or did when I did some decal work for him. I'd like to know where the 59 Rambler wagon and Turbine tooling ended up. Both were in good condition when last seen.
  19. Well done. Other than the etch in that kit it has been around maybe 60 years. Here is a box top from this same kit in the 70's era.....
  20. Went to Matthews NC and picked 64 Ford which I had yet to find. Norm stuff otherwise
  21. Why do these photos remind me of old 'I saw a UFO' photos?!?!?!?!?! All these have been on the 'TO DO' list at Moebius for a while.
  22. Nice work! Looks like the real one at the Wood's!
