  1. I ordered a number of times in the past......but my last order took forever, maybe 7 weeks. Add to it postage has tripled.....maybe not their fault....but a FYI
  2. I use a high end OKI printer with a iron based ink. Nothing ground breaking other than expensive ink.....white is $300 a cart.
  3. Very nice clean work!!!!! I have never even heard of that kit!!!
  4. Printed decals for a number of up coming projects............
  5. Saw it at the theater with GF.....now wife of 44 years!!! One of my favs. Thanks
  6. ANY of the TD kits that have been missing 20 years now will be good. Dog Catcher was turned into Sand Shark, Horn Toad into Rattler, Trick T into Stinger. ANY of these I'll buy. Issue the altered version, spend a small amount to convert back to original version......then I buy again!!!! I've said it before.....MY pick. It uses the tires from Groovy Grader and we know Atlantis has those.....
  7. You made it look good!!!!! The kit engineering shows how Star Wars caught all toy and hobby companies off guard. Kits were thrown together ASAP to get to market. Still one of my favorite designs of SW.
  8. Just in case you need interior......from my recent trip to the Wood's shop....
  9. Two things you may check out. 1. Local Library .....I live in the most rural county east of the Miss. yet have a library near me with free PC & internet. 2. I have internet service on my cell phone. Unlimited on my wife's and my phone with phone service $80 a month......cheaper than local ISP. Good luck
  10. Got my #217 today.....all I can say is WOW!!!!! So much great stuff. Of all the magazines I still get....this is tops. THANK YOU all who put it together.
  11. LEGO is my son's (40) main hobby. He has a big city he is working on. Yet to build one of the big cars. I do a little lego.....just for fun. I like Mad Max and very few kits.....so....
  12. per Revell 07714 Corvette Stingray C8 – 1:24 (NEW TOOL) The all-new Corvette Stingray C8 Coupe is now available in 1/24 scale! This model kit features all new molds and is a must have for any American sports car fan. In contrast to all predecessors in the series, the C8 Stingray has a mid-engine and, with 500 hp, is one of the most powerful Corvettes ever built. With 100 parts, this model kit is perfect for beginners and intermediates. So don't wait any longer and order your Corvette Stingray C8 Coupé today. Multi-part engine Original interior Rotating wheels
  13. Sealer #1699 is great. Been using for 30+ years now....paint too.
  14. When I was at my HL Thursday they had dozens of their shipping boxes ready to unload in the kit/hobby area. I looked in a few, restocks....but I could only look in 2 of them.
  15. Went today to get a display case. Shelves were about 60% full. All newer Revell kits were $37.99 to 39.99. Oddly older monogram kits like 66 Mustang Hertz was $24.99. AMT were $32.99 to 39.99. I did pick up a Revell C8 racing Corvette by Revell for 40% off $37.99. PS: went by the WalMart and they had kits. Got the KW cement mixer for $32....OK deal. This was not my local WM.....no kits there.
  16. Not really a HL issue. A wholesale sight for dealers is showing 2023 kits MSRP in the $40-50 range for regular kits. Hobby biz must be doing OK if they can charge thus and stik=ll sell kits.
  17. My 1999 Chrysler Concorde...best hiway cruiser ever. AMT kit, removed aero package.
  18. Well Done!!! I sat in the real Boot Hill as a kid in 1969 while Dad was working at a So Cal car show. Scary just sitting in the seat.....driving must have been terrifying.
  19. I like these snapper kits. But done right or wrong I don't like the tire/wheel system Revell used. But still I have a few......Thanks!
  20. FYI....40% off model kits this week!!!!! If there is something you need. We may go and see what is left......and I need a display case anyway
  21. Empty model shelves are, in the long run, a good thing!!! Means HL has to put in big orders with manufactures, maybe some new SKU etc.
  22. I missed that thread. I knew the kit was simple, I knew for my build, movie car, it would need new tires and wheels. I had no idea how bad over all it was. If I hand known the glass did not touch the body I'd passed. Thanks
  23. Thanks ALL!!! It's a 12 footer.....don't get closer than 12 feet and it's fine. My post was as much to warn others too......the window issue is NOT an easy fix and one that would take more time than the kit is worth. Shame on RG putting out junk @ $35 MSRP
