  1. Ah the infamous donut boxes. Once you take the shrink wrap off they have no structural integrity.
  2. That is a fabulous paintjob. Looking forward tk more.
  3. A big Bronx cheer to the marketing idiot that has decided that every five minutes the needs to be a five break for a commercial on youtube videos.. Monumentally annoying.
  4. Amazing tutorial in scratch building. The conversion from ford to dodge shows with the right starting point you can replicate what you want.
  5. Nice work. Great combination. Color looks right.
  6. Not surprised to see this. I'm sure a lot of products are going to be impacted in some way. As far the impact of this or other diseases it only takes the right sequence of events and some disease can take off like wildfire. If big enough heath care resources will be quickly overwhelmed. Developing vaccines doesn't happen overnight. It can be a year or more to test the effectiveness and safety. No country or countries are immune from the effects are a major epidemic given the fact how quickly one can be in another part of the world and how many people they come into contact in their travels. The world has been fairly fortunate so far.
  7. Probably a graduate from the graphics art program from the same school.
  8. So the list 1927 Lincoln 1928 Linoln 1932 Imperia 1932 4 doorImperial 1932 chevy panel/roadster Are there any others to add to list?
  9. Thanks for the replies. Will see how the bike looks using two of the front dragster tires. Also see the grease resissue had the knobbie rears on the harley and bsa bikes. Thanks Tim your pictures are a help.
  10. With the reissue of the MPC Imperial roadster I was wondering how many cars were in the series. Tried a search but couldn't find this info. I can think of 1928 Lincoln 1932 Imperial roadster 1932 Chevy sedan delievery 1932 Chevy Roadster 1932 Roadster
  11. Very cool. Very nice work.
  12. I found I have a couple of the Revell or7ginal parts pack triumph custom motorcycles without tires. Looks like some of the dragster front tires would work for the front however the rears are knobbies. Any suggestions for suitable tires.
  13. The model companies are aware that higher prices impact sales. However volumes and costs dictate what the prices are. Just the nature of the beast. The loss of high volume retailers like Walmart have hurt the market. Walmart wants to fill the shelves with high margin items. Models take up a fair amount of shelve space however the same space can be allocated for something like cell phone accessories and they can make a lot more money.
  14. Ok I have not had anymore problems. Thanks Dave for fixing the problem.
  15. Any updates on this wild concept?
  16. Just had the issue again on my iphone with safari at 11:02 pst
  17. When you get a lemon you might as well make lemonade. One suggestion would be to remove the turn signal pods in the front. They are absolutely huge it would clean the front up a bit.
  18. Think the vette van will look great with coke decals.
  19. Cool car. Great craftsmanship. Would definitely be a fairgrounds car. Visibility would be a little limited with the dual blower. Makes more sense to be a model rather than a real vehicle. One of the joys of building models.
  20. Lots of nice work. Cool project.
  21. Thanks Dave.
  22. Thanks Tim for your insight as an insider to the business.
  23. Just had the issue on my iphone. Sometimes clearing history and cookies help but not this time. No issue on android tablet with chromium.
  24. Nice start. Very nice work so far. Definitely need to check out the krylon foil paint.
  25. Very cool that you restored this. I have enjoyed following your articles through the years.
