  1. R2 kits are being made in the USA too......not all....but many newer issues are.
  2. alps printer does not do anything more than print. What you need is a graphics program.....but even that will not create clear image from a fuzzy one.
  3. The ebay seller I know of that sells Gray Ghost decals bought a set of mine and now sells photo copies of them. VERY poor photo copies. I sell screen/digital decals for the car. You can PM or e-mail for more info. Thanks
  4. Atlantis did get some TD....but it was stuff Revell had not made in years. Vandal, Beer Wagon, TJ Taxi, Rommel's etc, all have been run in the past few years and thus were in China. All TD tools Atlantis got were in ILL. I hope some day Atlantis can buy the TD tools as I think Revell and TD look to be done.
  5. Atlantis did buy some tooling from R2 but details were not disclosed. It would make sense R2 would sell these molds......but only Atlantis knows for sure.
  6. Been on the showrod site for 25 years now.....a great group.
  7. SHARP!!!!!
  8. Very well done!!! Looks good to me. This kit is special to me. I was working for Model King when this kit was purposed. I got to work on the kit development AND as Ms Flock was a neighbor I set up the licensing and did the decal artwork. Tim would like it!!!
  9. That's good.....his stuff is GREAT!!
  10. All are cool.....is Marshmallow man a full 3D print too??
  11. Got to talk to Model King/Dave yesterday. Talked about what is coming from MK/Moebius and while things move slow in todays hobby world (entire world) things are still rolling. The best thing to do is support MK/Moebius. LOTS of GREAT kits in the early stages that will be very popular. But biggest thing is the wait.............
  12. HW & MBX are still cheap fun. As a kid I was a Hot Wheels tester before they came on market. As payment I got a set, the track, clamp and car before anyone I knew.........Mattel did it as 'PAY' but they were smart as it caused a HUGE BUZZ!! My first HW was a Deora made in USA!!!! I have collected ever since and have every car I ever got!! Custom HW and MBX are a cheap hobby!! A Roush IMSA Cougar made from a NASCAR Thunderbird.
  13. The kit in the lower left had a pretty decent full race option. You build up a full roll cage on the chassis, deleting the interior tub. Made GREAT short track and road race start. Hope that stuff.....and some of the IMSA body panels are included.
  14. I LIKE!!!! Very nice work on both!!!
  15. WOW!!! A NEW WORLD!
  16. Went last year....hope to this.....thx
  17. The fridge will extend CA life....yes
  18. The Duke's photo is old and Photoshop created. The Daytona and Superbird look real......If mine I'd gotten them out.
  19. CA has a pretty short life is not sealed perfect and kept in Fridge when not using. I use blue cap Gorilla Glue, it's cap seals and keeps the nozzle open. It lasts long enough I have used all the glue before it goes bad and it's sold every where!
  20. I need a Aztek model for my Breaking Bad series of kit builds. I found a 3D model of the car.......is there anyone willing tp print one for me???? I'll pay for the file and print of course. Thanks!
  21. OMHO Tamiya has nothing real close to the color you want. The Tamiya pearls are VERY transparent and thus need and base off a color coat. I tried paint a car bright green then yellow and got a OK 'shelf model' match. Good luck!
  22. Yes...the real car was a bit different than the kit. I built one box stock too as I liked Mr Tope........maybe someday I will build a correct model.
  23. Nice work! I like FnF models...many more than the films!
  24. Sorry I was not clear........ My Charger shown is the new tool R2 'snap' Charger. My original Dirty Mary used the very old Charger kit which was just the MPC Charger Daytona kit with the Daytona nose removed. MPC failed to put the tunnel back light in after converting the Daytona to a 'Charger' making a '500' but without the 500 grille!!!! The kit was a mess for a long time. Millions of Duke's kits were run with the wrong body in order just to meet demand! Thanks
