Love the old FW's and I had no idea there were threads on here of planes, keep up the awesome work, just getting back into planes myself so ill be watching this one with great interest.................

A long time ago a lowrider magazine article got my juices flowing on making a totally custom one off lowrider fiero. the green foam is not the finished color that the foam will be just using an off color for ideas. Will have a total off the wall sound system and hydraulics as well.

I had one of those off the bay 6 years ago, but yeah strange that was one of the reasons for getting it was the odd ball factor.

hopefully round 2 will reissue if the mold is still there, thats the thing with paying big bucks for a kit anymore, i remember when the rommels rod and tijuana taxi would go for hundreds on the bay then they both got reissued. that would suck to pay that much then see its gonna be reissued..............................

wow awesome tip and so simple, thank you for sharing.........

that is weird!

my fav right here.

Yes they are made up of several bits, 2 mm bolt and nut, and i didnt want the nut to show so i put it in a piece of plastic rod and sanded it round by chucking it in my lathe and sanding till the nut almost soon, then glued a watch part gear over that then added a gamer bits piece on top of that. Once painted it will show a lot better thou.

Working on the wire wheels and creating working knockoffs. Only doing the front wheels so far unless I can figure out a way to embed the bolt without ruining the rear end since i already glued it to the frame.

I was going thru an estate sale and came across a container of old bits of pottery. An Idea came to mind, build a diorama and use the broken pieces for the diorama so that is what ill do...

Scanning can be done but that in itself is expensive as the scanners are very costly. Google( if your ever interested in learning software that will make the design) has free software, I have played with it and its fairly easy to use. Its called sketch up and its free to download. I know you want something scanned but you may be able to draw it up in sketchup and have shapeways print it a lot cheaper than some service that will be willing to scan it.

thats what I want right there, and the cooper cars two pack, i was wondering when someone would make that............I agree more mini stuff!!!!

thank you, its gonna be hard to top this one but I have another one Ill try to top it with, the Egyptian Raider build. I have a ton of ideas and some started just no time, 7 days a week at work so hope to get some real updated mid december.

I wish, this thing has been on hold, my work has me working 7 days a week straight thru to early december. I am close thou I have been working on the knock off, they will actually work on the front end so I can take off the front wheel and show more detail. then more body work, hinge the hood, and custom graphics, all most there.

Thanks Jason

nuf said for me, im happy to get a good mag not something that is over run with ads and not content. One of the reasons I love Model Cars Mag all content very little ads its a win win for me no matter when i receive the issue....

It will be a steal for whoever wins the auction, unless it goes up by other people bidding, (which usually happens) if not then hes gonna spend $630.00 plus for shipping, how many can fit in a good sized box, and there is 320 of them, I really think the seller is not gonna be making any money at all, unless it goes way above 1200.00 ending bid................just my opinion from selling and shipping multiple kits in the past, $200.00 divided by 320 kits = .625 or in other words each kit has .63 cents for shipping, each kit! even if he can get 12 in a large box that box could cost depending on the location of the person winning the auction at least $12.00 economy if he can find that somewhere. I have shipped kits as much as 6 in a box but usps was 18.00 economy, not to keep running on here, just do not see it making any money if it closes at 630.00. Seller has 100 percent feedback after 768 transactions so hes a man of his word. but to keep that up to 100 percent hell have to eat any cost in shipping over $200.00. risky i say.....

AGREED!!! best mag ever made, sorry hands down I could give a rats you know what when it arrives, just that it does arrive I love this mag.

vw rabbit would be a great old kit to bring back, I second that motion.

Thanks JT!

Thank You Darren, now that Im back from working in slc time to get some more work done on it.................

I agree, its seamless now and if you make a seem can take away from the flow of the over all look, I love right where its at now. can not wait to see this baby done.

http://gslchampionship.org/Library/pp_rderr_GSL_XXII.pdf this is a great resource, off of the GSL website like Shardik suggested I just read it and it has a lot of great ideas..........

true statement, except you can make more than just round parts, but I know what you mean. One thing thou is the learning curve of the software if you want to make your own parts and not download a file to work with, played around with the free google software and Ill need to learn a lot to make something like a complete engine..........
