Revell '50 Oldsmobile Club Coupe 2'n1
jw78z28 replied to styromaniac's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Just pre order 2 of these last night. decals don't bother me I'm sure a resin caster will cast a correct body to go with the decals who knows. I'm not a big olds guy but It's just cool looking and it's something diff. to build so I will give Revell A few of my bucks. Kind of hope they keep spending the bucks to make new molds, retool, and repair some of the old kits that where before my time. I plan on turning mine into a weekend drag racers tow car, maybe he has to borrow his fathers old's inorder to get his dragster to the track. Only thing that Revell has done to disapoint me is that they haven't invested in some new tooling for a new drag car. It's time for a new door car Revell. Pro/mod, pro/stock, outlaw pro/mod there are some super nice drag cars that would make a nice kit. I know they make resin bodys and you can build your own frame but it's just not the same as using a kit as your base build vs. resin. So Thank you Revell for what you guys have done to bring some life back to this hobby with the new kits and the re pops of older hard to find stuff, the facebook contests T.V. contests. keep it up guys. -

Who else has this problem
jw78z28 replied to mnwildpunk's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
So true Tubbs. Modeling has to be the only hobby where we not only scale down the cars we build, we also scale down our work bench. I have a 2 1/2ft X 5ft work bench with about a 1ftx1ft area that i can build on right now. Maybe about time to clear off some of the projects that haven't moved in a long time. -

I saw a 59 elcamino with a blown straight 6 once it was very cool & dif.. so how about a blown slant 6. I was going to build one for a Dick Landy cuda I have that is missing the motor and trans.

I've found that bondo is the best choice for me. If mixed right you will get the same turnout every time. no or very little shrinkage or cracking. Plus I like the smell of it.

never to late to start building kits or any hobby. I've been building for 20 + or - a year or two and still screw up paint jobs and other things. you just learn to hide them better. last month I was building the motor for the new 300c and ended up drilling the spark plug wire holes and ended up drilling the wrong end of them, I checked 3 times before I started.

Do people even think anymore

If he's entering that thing in a race he sould take some of the parts off cause every 100 pounds is a tenth of a second in racing -

Wow I don't know what to say about this thing. I guess youed have to own a Dodge to understand, and I'm a Chevy guy so I don't get what they where thinking. And they took up two parking spots. -
that's going to look good when its done.

Modelhaus Order Question
jw78z28 replied to 71drolds's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I ordered some stuff from them not long ago and got what i ordered in about 5 or 6 weeks. If you used C.C. or bank card check your statement I think he doesn't charge it to them until he ships items. He's been around for a long time and thats hard to do in the modeling aftermarket. -
