Accu-Pro has been out of business for quite awhile. Your best hope would be an auction site unless someone knows of a caster doing something similar to this body.

Anyone for accurate diorama pieces 1-24th ?
peter31a replied to Eshaver's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
For me, I'd be looking for items from 20's to the 40's-50's. Model T, Model A era into early hot rod era. -
Great build! I've been looking forward to seeing one of these built up. They really do look sharp.
-
Wow! What a great piece of modelling! That's how a hot rod truck is done. Excellent work.

model car magazine
peter31a replied to moparmadness's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
As one of the ones who has to pay big bucks for a subscription and then wait about 3 weeks after everyone starts saying they have their's here on the board (waiting for 153), I will still pay for the printed version. I have no objection to a digital version if some people think that is better for them. And after all great kahuna it is your sandbox so I say go for it. As long as the printed version remains. But to me an online 'magazine' is just a fancy website. It's a gimmick being able to turn the pages. I've looked at a few of these so called magazines on the web and have to laugh at the attempts to be a magazine with a cover page and pages that turn. It's so impractical. It would be better to have each article on it's own seperate web page. I don't know how to explain what I mean.... Anywho just the thoughts of one lonely dinosaur. -
My screen saver is one from super beetles.com with random vw bugs. My current background is this pic taken at Meadow Brook concours.

Ooooohh! Sweet DTM car! Well done. I have a few of these waiting. Hope they turn out as well as yours.

Nick, If I lived as close to Dailey's Hobbies as you do I wouldn't bother with a subscription either. Unfortunatly I don't get down to the city often enough so I pay the subscription rate. With our dollar almost at par it is a little outrageous but I want the magazine so... -
21st century cars into kits..
peter31a replied to a topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I hate to break it to you guys but there is a Prius kit out there by Fujimi I believe... -
Very Nice! I recently purchased this kit so it gives me some idea of what to look forward to.

It's that time. I just got my Aug/Sep Issue
peter31a replied to crispy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yeah and then from Denver they ship it back to Hawaii where they load it on a Hawaiian canoe and from there the fellow paddles to Georgian Bay to leave me a copy.... C'mon Harry work with me here.... -
Hi James! Yep, the Kingston Modelrama is always a great little show. They have a good selection of vendors and some great models show up. Been puttering down from Penetanguishene for the last 3 years now.

Yay! A Hawaiian Canoe dropped off issue 152 on the shores of Georgian Bay today. -
Yeah! I was born to be rich..... Too bad I was apparently switched at birth.

Can't get too excited about 3D t.v. Since I don't have binocular vision I get no benefit from 3D. Ticks me off to no end to have to pay extra to go to a 3D movie like Avatar since it looks like every other movie to me. I remember going years ago to IMAX theatres where everyone was using 3D glasses and ooohin and ahhing about the effect but it looked all the same to me. Otherwise I'm not commenting on how much t.v. I watch or computer time... More models would get built if I could ignore them....

We've been married 27 years this past September 10. I definitely got the better part of that deal!

Job well done. That sure looks like the ship from the episode. -
model cars mag subscription?
peter31a replied to lowriderphil's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'm sorry Gregg but I'm with Lee on this one - would rather a late hard copy than an on time online one. Now I know you said it won't affect the print version but I personally wouldn't pay for an online mag when there is so much free stuff out on the web. And I can't help feeling that in short order the forum would somehow end up tied into the online mag. Something in the order of you can see the basics for free but if you want to see everything you have to subscribe.... something like another place we know... Sorry for being an old curmudgeon this Sunday morning but when I hear this type of stuff, I see a slippery slope not something positive. I would like to emphasize this is my view only and does not reflect what Gregg actually posted. And Phil I'm sorry we're hijacking your thread as well. Maybe Gregg can move this to a seperate thread, eh Big Kahuna? Peter by the by Mouses, Mices, Meeces? -
Mega City Model Motor Madness, Toronto

I'll have my supply of diet cola, just make sure the donuts are there! See you Sunday. -
David: Tamiya is a Japanese company. Not only do they make great model kits but they make great acrylics for brush painting and a fine line of plastic friendly spray laquers that usually lay down real nice. As mentioned by Master modeller the new Testor's one coat system is also a very good product that is easy to use.

Where can I find a 1/25 scale dog?
peter31a replied to car lover 1996's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
If you're searching the web especially E-Bay check out Model Trains in the G scale (Garden Scale) section Most things in G Scale come out around 1/24 - 1/25. I have horses from G Scale model railroad for a diorama someday.
