  1. Contact Danny at Scenes Unlimited, or see if the Modelhaus' son would be interested, he still markets the tire line that Don did years ago. good luck
  2. Just did a trade with 1948 Ron, everything went well. Item was as described. I would 100% trade with him again.
  3. Go to the Wanted Section and put your request there. People here will contact you by PM.( personal message) .Some will ship it to you and expect postage reimbursement. Some will not! given the age and rarity of this kit. Good luck!
  4. NOBLNG, thank you for this. I see you researched and executed the idea well. Looks good. Good job , sir! Swede 70 should be on his way now!!!
  5. Ok Casey, I can see that you won't be buying a set! LOL Seriously, every Lil Coffin kit I find to buy at a club meet for the wheels , the wheels are missing! OK then AMT if you are listening ,( John G.) copy these wheels and tires and offer them in a parts pack, please!
  6. If Atlantis has the 'Lil Coffin' tooling, can we get them to run the tires, wheels, and mags from it for a parts pack ?( like AMT's) Pete are you listening?( this is a money maker for you)
  7. I got the FM 1975 Corvette convertible in yellow with black top. A good deal at 1/3 the retail price. No Box or papers. (sorry no pics)
  8. Swede 70, try a Meijer store in the beauty supply. I saw a nail pattern for women's nails that looked like houndstooth in that scale . Don't know if they still have it. Try Sally beauty supply. I also know that a lot of current women's purses and jackets have that pattern. Maybe photograph it, resize, and print on decal paper?
  9. fingerrubbers , send a PM ( personal message) to DAVE Van . he will answer you and give you a quote. You have to sign in to do this. then click on his icon . that will bring up his profile. then click on message. fill out the message and hit send. then wait for his reply! I think Woopie Kat is out of the business.? Can someone please confirm this?
  10. Just completed a trade with Paul Payne, everything packed well and he says what he means. No hesitation with trading with him again!
  11. the AMT Chrysler 300 c chassis should fit , if you take out 4 scale inches ( 126 wb to 122wb for the 59 Dodge Coronet). I haven't done it myself, but someone on here probably has! Unless the Johan Dodge promo was engineered undersized , it should work!
  12. Nice tip - inexpensive , you can make it from scrap materials, and only outgo dollar-wise would be for a chainsaw file. Brilliant!
  13. SWEDE70, nice score 1 Did you pick these up at Great Lakes Hobby? I know they buy diecast collections and then sell them reasonably priced to make their money back.
  14. as of today coupon is still on my phone! I think DAVE Van said there would be a two-week grace period before they refuse them. My coupon on my phone expires on 3/6/21 and you cannot use it on "your price" items.
  15. Dave Van, you said the 40% off coupon will go away, but will the 40% sale in the hobby category away? When H.l. ran the 40% off sale the last few months the shelf were always empty at my stores!
  16. Another Masterpiece Claude T! Bravo, Bravo, Bravo! Take your bows now!!! (are all your model builds done on a coffee high or some other substance? Legal or illegal depending on where you live). Or is there something in the water in Quebec, Canada???LOL Excellent build! I bet that car would give a 2020 Vette a run for its money!!
  17. Yes, Casey , All American Models (Art Anderson) did this resin body! I picked one up in the 90's from the Toledo show from him.
  18. If you look at those tires real close and then look at one of those Goodyear, Firestone or Bridgestone ashtrays 1/1 scale, maybe they used the rubber tire ashtray for the 1/10 master to cast the tooling from?
  19. Now correct me if I'm wrong , but I think those were also in the AMT 1953 Studebaker "Salty Dog" Bonneville version one time?
  20. Tulio, If you hit rock bottom there is nowhere to go but uphill! Now put on you modeling shoes my brother modeler, and show us your stuff again! We are your (modeling?) family. Good luck and God bless! We need our Brazilian Ford informant to be active once more!
  21. yes , you need to put soiled solvent-laden rags in a sealed metal bin covered, so the fumes won't self-ignite when your not around.(please don't ask me how i know this!)
  22. martinfan5 . It looks good , it doesn't qualify for" Gluebomb" status! LOL .Imagine in 20 years a listing on E-bay ." glue bomb cup of noodles" model kit not complete, just missing all the shrimp!
  23. as long as you credit the original owner for photos or work it is not a copyright issue. It is when you reproduce something for "'personal" use and try to sell it without permission from the copyright owner then it becomes an issue. Please fell free to correct me if I 'm wrong here!
  24. Excellent kit-bash, excellent paint, excellent build quality. Very clean build style. The "Clifford Read" of plastic modeling ? Lol. Is the gas tank off of a Revell 55 Chevy older kit(1960's-1970's)?
  25. Cliff, all those great diecast rebuilding skills transfer here. Excellent as always. love it, love it, love.it!
