  1. That is so gorgeous! I want a real one!!!
  2. Welcome Jason. always glad to see a new typeface. My job is so secret even I don't know what I'm doing.
  3. Are you looking for a shot of the window frame, or the glass itself?
  4. I added a lip to the inner edge of the window, and cut the stock glass to fit. **Word of warning** Make sure you have more than one set of windows as it's easy to mess this up.
  5. Body work is nearly done. I have a few rough edges, pinholes and new door lines to clean up, But other than that shoe's almost ready for paint. i Modified the green house with flush fit glass all around, modified the rocker panels changing the cut lines and making the bottom edge straight. that, along with the re-cut door lines, the chopped top and leaned back windshield should gif the finished car a low long sleek look. The 2007 GT500 front spoiler, was integrated into the surrounding body work , and the stock front bumper will still fit.
  6. An Eleanor model? Well there is is one that I have built three times and each time it get's destroyed. It's a Fujimi 1973 Porsche Carrera RS Speedster. The first one i built was destroyed by a clumsy Cable Guy installing cable in my house and knocked over the shelf it was on. So I built a second one I had it in a display case on a table in my living room. It sat there just fine for six months until the sunlight came in the window at just the right angle to heat one side of the model just on the door, and melt it to the point where it looked like it had been T-boned. So I built a third one. and it got smashed in my move from Asheville NC to Kingsport TN. Here is what remains of the third "Doomed Porsche". I plan to build a forth, but with a few changes.
  7. Big thank you to Scott Garner. He printed out a couple of sets of his decals for me. They arrived today! They look great!
  8. They could very easily. the New Revell 57 Chevy kits are based on the same tooling. Here's one I did by mating the two...
  9. I thought that was who I was talking about but I got the names switched. Abramoff + lobbyist, Madoff + swindler...Now I might remember
  10. Oops! well who ever he is he looks like boris.
  11. How about... bernie madoff And... Boris Badinov
  12. Actually people in downtown apartments already have those.
  13. You guys ever notice you never see Wierd Al Yankovic, and Tim Boyd Together? Hmmmmm.
  14. Title pretty much says it all, If they exist a link to purchase them would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance.
  15. Anything that takes energy and converts it to motion is a motor. and engine is a motor, but a motor is not necessarily an engine.
  16. That was you? I was there good job.
  17. But I tried it at the neighbor's house!
  18. a number of years ago someone tried doing an invitational "best of the best" kind of thing, where only best of show models from the bigger shows were invited. If I recall correctly it didn't take off.
  19. The same thing could be said about "customer service warnings" dealing with the aftermarket. A guy does 1000 sales without a problem, but something goes wrong with one order and they get raked over the coals, and it always turns into a drama fest.
  20. What I always did, was I had a set of drawers next to the recliner I sat next to my wife in while watching TV in the evening. In those drawers were projects I needed to do prep on. I would sand and clean up bodies while still spending time with my wife. When I had a project ready for paint, then I would wait until I had some free time, like after I drove my daughter to school but before my wife woke up and throw some paint on it. Then as time allowed I would do some assembly here and there until it was done.
  21. That is a heck of a good deal. the 10 for 80 deal works out less than $10 per kit even after shipping!
  22. Actually the full name of the business ia "Replicas and Miniatures Company of Maryland" and are very much still in business
