I NEED one...................

Well done.....how does the chopper scale out????

A REAL early crush...before I knew what that was....RIP Mary Ann

I looked at those.......keep us up work progress!

I got that one.....just some detail paint........door window frames bug me

You have a nice, clean build.....good detail. I wanted a model of this car for YEARS.........then a friend of mine in NJ, about 2014, said Revell had spent the day with his friends S&H Torino......I could not believe it!!! I've built a S&H version but also a Bill Elliott NASCAR first race version! Well Done

IMHO ONLY those are not $100 kits........ Better to ask forgiveness than permission......

Botcott ALL AMT kits and you cut the kits available by about 50%...... I enjoy all kits in one way or another. I like to MAKE them look good. And I have fun. box stock other than tires.

Boils down to a persons Point Of View....... Most AMT tooling is 50 or more years old and is different than a kit tooled today. I find that almost any model can be made to look good......depends on how much work put into the kit. Two AMT kits. AMT Lil Gasser converted into a log hauler: A more stock build....same era kit ass the KW you spoke of. Peterbilt COE by AMT

COOL!!! I love movie vehicles! Is that a vac form kit or injection???

My daughter's clothes dyer that calls her and asks, once the clothes are dry, to tumble them or stop.

A little retooling and we can get this back...........I have one

I see a 'Little Miss Sunshine' VW in the works......a simple kit is perfect for the vehicle.

There was a website out there that had a story about the film being 'color corrected' and making the car on film a slightly different color than the real car was. So it depends on what you want....a model of the car as it would appear in person or on film. I built one tears ago before we had a good tunnel back Charger. I used Testors bug yellow with a little green; When R2 brought out there snap Charger I built another Dirty MAry Charger. It was painted with Tamiya light green and then yellow. It works for me.

There are lots of things I'd lay at the feet of Gates and his TECH buddies.....but not the telescope failure.....

A Laser printer can print white. The printer itself is in the thousands and the laser toner ink is $500 per cartridge.

When I did the decal art for a Model King kit to make sure no issues I made the decal 'TRUXS ADMORE' rather than 'TRUXMORE' which is a brand.....there are ways!

GREAT work....but they will require 300-400 sheets......over $2000.

My first thought when I saw it!!!!

In NOV 1988 the a moveable 300 ft telescope collapsed at the Green Bank WV facility. This was due to rust that was not taken care of. So it seems like a problem that is not a unknown issue. It was replaced with a larger telescope that is now the largest in the world moveable unit. While the loss of Arecibo is bad being built into the earth made it limited. The current 328 foot dish at Green Bank is not used full time and is actually looking for work!!! So it seems like the loss will not cripple reasearch overall. Current dish......I live not far away and have toured the facility a number of time. All vehicles used on site are Checker Marathon diesels!!!

As a decal manufacture for 40 years I will say decals will only be as good as the artwork AND the print can create. Artwork MUST be vector art and the printer must be able to print 600 dpi minimum. 'Home' decals can be as good or better than screen printed 'factory' decals in some ways. Screen decals need a screen for each color....13 colors 13 screens......each sheet will be costly. Digital print decals done right can have 3 colors or 100 colors....same cost to print. And at 800 dpi as fine a print as screened decals. What you showed looks like art that was not vector and a printer not up to very fine printing. I have 300 decals in my line and as of last month I have gone 100% digital print. The decal custom printers out there charge $10-20 a INCH so a 11 inch page of decals can cost $200. But they will be very nice. I do not do custom work but if you need info on those that do contact me. This is what they should look like......

I have 5 hobby cars so I need nothing!!!! But I am somewhat obsessed with this car from a 50's movie. It just has the authentic look I'd want. Not a lot of details but I like it!!!

I need/want one too........Wife and I bought a Mustang II a few weeks ago....LOVE to build a model!

My son is a manager with a BIG drug store chain. Their suppliers in China cut WAY back on sending product to them and all the USA.....more politics than anything. I needed to replace all my rope lights I use at Christmas.....but very limited colors and selection......local WM has NONE. I am sure there will be plenty Christmas 2021......
