  1. 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!
  2. Sounds like you did everything right. Good thing you were there. Thank God it ended as it did.
  3. 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
  4. I've built that kit showroom stock and the soft top version as a street rod. Looks like a good start......good luck!
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. All functions working here......many thanks to all!!!
  8. Nothing new Lewisburg WV 11/21
  9. 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..............
  10. Really well done! May pick it up. I have the Revell 1/200 twin kit too. Wonder if Atlantis has it??
  11. Thanks for update!! I see we still have page issue and like issue. I tried MS browser w/o issue. but will not use it for a number of reasons.
  12. Very nice save on that one. I bought that kit back when it came out, I too saw it was nothing like the movie car. I just gave up and built it as a 'tuna' street car. It is such a odd kit for AMT.....nothing like anything they did before or after. Here is mine, hope you don't mind. thx BTW I bought the Fujimi EVO kit too yet to build
  13. I have known Jack Higgins since the 80's when he started JNJ Decals. If you built NASCAR kits you know. I hope they do well.
  14. I am building this for my O scale train layout. Scratchbuilt from Plastruct materials, The complex will have about 10 models I will build on my bench then transfer them to the layout. Thanks for looking!!!
  15. I do not have that kit....but the Japnese 1/25 scale kits of that era I do have are 1/28 and battery op with clunky details. Never seen in that box
  16. While I do not understand the infatuation with this kit, other than being so rare, any new tooling is good thing. Why did they not use the new tool duster from a few years back?? Seems odd to start all over. I know that Duster had some window shape issue but do not recall major chassis/engine problems. Thanks
  17. $24 to send a kit to my buddy in So Cal.......
  18. Nothing new in Lewisburg WV when I went today.............. My WM had a new display though.........
  19. Nice Clean work!!! I've been to the Wood's shop many times. Great people!!!
  20. Yeo......I used them on my G&R build
  21. I made a short video of my train from the movie Silver Streak. It is O scale 3R. I custom paint it and made the decals to match the movie train which was a CP Rail train. Thanks!!
  22. My 1999 Concorde from a modified AMT snap kit.
