  1. My first car was an exp. it was ugly. Red trimmed in orange and brown. But once the rubber band was wound up, she would fly.
  2. NAILED IT
  3. Yea Ira, im still mad at you for not putting more mud on the green bug. This current build is awesom. Keep it up
  4. I have owned 4 diffrent 240's. i miss each of them like children that left for college. Keep up the good work
  5. Like the color choice
  6. Walthers.com They sell model train stuff. in my experience with both, i like the microsol/ microset way better than solvaset
  7. That is sweet ira. It came out awesome. It would be cool if the transporter faded to metalic blue instead of red. That would give the red/white-silver/blue look. Maybe some stars air brushed in. Just a thought. Hope you dont mind.
  8. Looks clean and crisp.
  9. I have yet to see those ferraris on the shelf. I check every time i go in my hobby shop. I must have to special order them
  10. Wow. I was gone pass on these cars but now i will search them on ebay till i buy one. Thanks Your builds are awesome so far
  11. I mostly put the Japanese kits together. I always wait to ebay them. Why. My lhs normally wont carry them. When he does, the price is msrp. Tamiya are very proud and the kits tend to be expensive. So when they have something i want, it cost to much. So, i have a plan to keep me and the lhs happy. I buy all my paint, glue,mags ,and other supplies from the lhs. If he has a kit in the ball park of the online price, its a sale. If not he just gets 100 bucks a month in supplies.
  12. Id have to agree with martinfan. I plan on building every kit i buy. I dont collect. I just have money to spend now who knows. I may lose my job/ get hurt and be out a while. So money may be tight then. I do want a few of those ford trucks. I may buy 4 just because.
  13. Kenny The resin wheels are great. I asked the seller if i could drill out the web of the wheels to be able to veiw the wheels and he sent me a set that he had cast errors on them. The ones he was selling were gold web with a black wash over the web slots. His cas error was the web wes to thin. I wanted to be able to see the breakes. Two of the webs were blown out but i mashed some epoxy putty in there and drilled it out. Worked great. Then I spraid the interior aluminum and the paint crazed on me. That is when i sat it down.
  14. Now that is what im talking about. But now you have two monster truck kits for the stash. Cant wait to see what you make out of those
  15. It wont be long and we will be chattering about what is in store for 2014. Im still waiting on a few that "should" be out by now. Anybody heard from Mobeious on the Ford pick up that was promised for summer. Or the Miami vice Ferraris Is there a kit you wanted but has not hit the shelf yet?
  16. Thanks Heavymetal Ive kinda hit a wall with it now. All i can do is pick it up for a second and then start a diffrent kit and then Not finish the kit i started
  17. Fake fake fake Only one of those cars are street. And that is that stupid truck. I have yet to see 36 inch wide slicks on a street car. And they street race at a airport. That is keeping it real.
  18. You do great work on the gauges. Did you print thes off or are they kit decals
  19. You are doing great. I know you using a pre cut template carbon fiber but i think that Ka Models carbon B sheet is much more realistic. If you ever find yourself needing a uncut sheet give it a try. Im sure you will like it. Please keep up the good work
  20. Would it be possible for you to completly contain the passenger and driver compartments to make them seperate. I would love to think that in the future i can cut all coms with the old lady when she starts nagging.
  21. Great job
  22. I bought a lsd rear end off of a rust bomb 300zx turbo for 100 bucks once. The guy was laughing as i struggled to get it off before it hit the crusher. It sold for 480 bucks on ebay. Bet he was thinking ,what a dummy All along i knew what he had and played dumb. That 200 dollar pushbike could have sold for 1200 bucks when the guy found a buyer
