It's enough to make you quit building! incredible!!!
-
Isn't that the truth. Very nice job!
-
The engine fooled me, it looks pretty good from up top. All in all, a very nice build.
-
I must have missed Part 1?
-
Like I said on another forum "I'll believe it when I see it". The problem is not finding a venue, it's the lack of intrest without an American driver.
-
A '62 Chevy is not something I'd build. I'm just thrilled it isn't another '32 Ford. Kudos to Revell.
-
This is exactly why I have Nick blocked. I got tired of this same thing over and over again. He doesn't understand the concept of constructive critism. He needs to spend less time on the internet and more time refining his skills.

I misplace more than I lose, can't remember anything anymore. The thrill of getting older.
-
The wheel and brake detail is incredible. Where do I sign up?
-
Looks a bit light in motor and chassis detail department. I'll wait until you finished it before I judge the kit. So keep us posted.
-
Great start, can't wait to see more! Does this Bill Jorgensen have a website?

doing something i hate..
elan replied to 62rebel's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I moved my models and tools 1,200 miles. I put everything else in the truck, but my models stayed with me in the car. It worked really well with almost no damage. The only downside was that the car was really full of kits, no room for anything else. -
That's an interesting color choice. I like it. I did mine in maroon/maroon and white interior.
-
I use the clear over MM lacquer on my street cars, but I mostly do race cars and I've found that polishing the final coat is all that is required.
-
Great stuff, I love Trans-Am cars, I've seen them race 4 or 5 times, always a lot of fun.
-
Dragging kit manufacturers through the mud on the internet is an time honnored pastime. Some people are never satisfied. I think it's going to be great kit and we need the variety. You can't go through life building the same 10 kits. Heaven forbid if Tamiya ever decides to make a '32 Ford, it would be anarchy.

I only use superglue about 20% of the time. I'm never in that big of a hurry. After gluing my fingers together a couple of time, I went to the thicker stuff. Usually I go with Zap brand.

How to make wire screens for intake systems
elan replied to curt raitz's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Great tutorial Now I can start on that Cosworth-Ford DFV I've been putting off. -
Not to much competition for Hudson kits out there. I'll take a little less detail and fit just to get one I can afford.
-
I hope they live up to everyone's expectation. The Hudson is one of my "Holy Grails". I've alway wanted to a Hudson stock car.
-
Ooops.....I'm bad!
-
I got my June SA also. Pretty good issue. I don't do Golden Bell press for the above reasons, but I like the forum
-
People used to think 'Troens were weird because they were front wheel drive. Hmmmm? How old are these Heller kits?
-
Old car kit ...any value?
elan replied to MikeeD's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Build it! Kits were meant to be built. Just like hot rods were meant to be driven, but thats another story. You will enjoy building a lot more than if the box sat on a shelf. In fact you could build it and leave the box on the shelf, the best of both worlds. -
Got more than $510 to blow on a kit?
elan replied to Terry Sumner's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Looks like a couple of people got caught up in a bidding frenzy. I think it a sign of things to come, like it or not. Mint kits are getting harder to find.
