  1. Just plain excellent! I always wondered how those folks managed to support all that extra weight on those skinny little tires. There must have been 200 lbs of air in them! David G.
  2. Clean and tight build. Excellent work! David G.
  3. Earle, I've found that the interior tub seems a bit too wide at the top and doesn't want to slide all the way up into the body. I've filed down the outside protrusions where the dash board mounts into the tub and a little bit of the top front edges where the tub meets the tops of the doors. It seems to have helped, but it's still not a great fit. Maybe yours has similar issues that may be causing your chassis fit problems. Thanks for your feedback. David G.
  4. I agree with Roger's idea of moving the headlights out to the fenders. Additionally, I'd like to suggest glass covered, recessed headlights similar to the early VW Beetles. With these, you could also put a turn indicator lamp inside the headlight enclosure. Either way, it'll be difficult to select the "right" headlights without seeing them in conjunction with a grille. Fabulous build! David G.
  5. Looks like there's plenty of room in the rear shelf for some ginormous speakers! David G.
  6. I'm glad to see this one back on the bench. Thanks for the updates. David G.
  7. Good looking build! Do you have any pics of the undercarriage and engine? I'm working on what I assume is essentially the same kit but a different version. I was wondering if you had any difficulty with the fit of the rear bumper on yours. It seems that on my kit, the rear bumper is almost 2mm too wide at the point where it flares out before tapering down toward the bottom. If I push the lower portion of the rear fenders out to meet the widest point of the bumper, they end up being wider than the lower portion of the bumper as it narrows toward the bottom. Is this something you encountered? If so, what, if anything did you do to correct it? Thanks David G.
  8. I've been following your Bat-Pod build since the beginning, and I'm impressed with the level of detail you're adding. I must also say that I'm a little disappointed with the absence of detail that requires you to add it. David G.
  9. I had no idea that Walmart was around in the 70s! In Northeast Ohio, we had K-Mart, Woolco, Hill's and Zayre, but no Walmart. David G.
  10. While we grumble and complain about the accuracy of plastic model car kits, there are people in other parts of the world who worry that the cup of water they just drank might give them a fatal case of dysentery. David G.
  11. Excellent work on both! David G.
  12. Very Cool! David G.
  13. Looks very much like the limited selection available at my local Michael's stores. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate any exposure this hobby can get, but I remember the golden age of the 70s when there dozens of kits stacked almost the entire length of an isle at K-Mart and Woolworth... *sigh* It's a start. David G.

    Acid Bubble

    Beautifully done! David G.
  19. Looks like that Plymouth will clean up nicely! David G.
  20. Hmmm.. why not "Lord of the Wings" I wonder, or maybe "Wing Kong"? David G.
  21. Nice town you've got there! David G.
  22. This is what model building is all about. Excellent work! David G.
  23. Looks like your pilot should have kept his head down. Good looking auto-gyro, though. David G.
  24. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. David G.
  25. Beautiful build- excellent photography! David G.
