Mine arrived today from them. Thank goodness he left it at the front door as the temp got to 108

Can't say much about shipping. Things have been good most of the time. I just had USPS attempt to deliver a Hiroboy.com order to San Rafael California, about 600 miles away. It is now on its way up North (I hope). About 10 years ago I had an order from Japan just DISAPPEAR. The vendor sent me a replacement order on their own dime. 8 months later, the original shipment JUST showed up. I notified the vendor and paid him for it as well (I wound up with two orders, but wasn't their fault).

Went out to a local car show today, King's Kruze-in. There were a large variety of cars, including some unique ones. Click the link to get to the photos I took of the event. Link to Album

I've bought several times and no problems. Some longer waits on Zero Paints orders but that is because of how they get shipped to the USA.

I have a few of their wheels and the 2014 Z/28 transkit. Excellent stuff

It was except that the author did not follow up on some corrective edits. That is my 33 Ford in the article that started as a Revell ZZ Top. Chuck Hermann and I each brought a couple of Revell based builds as part of the article. The author was to follow up with us on his descriptions but never did.

Tamiya LS? Or LP?

Indeed! As do I.

That is always something that slows me down as well. Plus amassing any aftermarket detail to enhance the build.

Looking good. Still have mine to build. Along with a few others. This gives some inspiration to get at them.

Started to get warm by the time we left (eventually got up to around 90), but cooperated while there. The angle of the sun made getting some photos "interesting". Next week I'm going with a friend to an event at Portland International Raceway and month end to the GoodGuys event in Puyallup Washington (about 2 hours north of us).

Arrived yesterday PM

I’m a little further along on fitting. I have merged the chasses at the cut points and did a little rework as the Chevy Chassis is slightly wider than the Ford. I also added an extra cross brace and transmission crossbar. I decided to use the 348 out a parts AMT 59 El Camino instead of the small block Chevy. In fitting, I left a gap between the cab and the trailer box since the 1:1 would have different flexing as it travelled. It may be a tad too much, but I was also thinking of the height of the rear locker area. I also was considering opening up a couple of the storage areas on the trailer. After some research I decided it was a major project needing quite a bit of work. I concluded it was more than I wanted to do on this project.

Just arrived today. Nicely done. Tires have good tread detail but are No-Names (have to get creative here). You can see the engine insert in the pictures. Glass, tires, chrome and decals separately packed in plastic. Nice decal sheet with options. As far as more detailing, the last picture shows some options I have in my stash to enhance this.

I can go down and double check, but they should be in the Prestige Kit version of the 1963 Vette.

Our city of Camas had its annual downtown car show last Saturday. Beautiful weather even though the sun made getting some photos "interesting" Link to Photo Album

I bought it some years back at a club meeting and there was no maker data. So, I have no idea who did the master or who was the caster.

As far as I can go on the frame until the "marriage". Need to get the interior and underside in place before mounting the frame to tie in the hoses and wheels. Getting closer.

New Project. Testing the idea out now. Looks doable.

Forgot to post this from last Saturday. Went to a small car show and decided to try out the camera on my new phone. Link to Album

Need to get a couple of those

I did and also let it air dry for a week. Seemed reasonably durable. But even kit chrome can be damaged by continuous handling.

You asked about DECALS. The MCG frets are outstanding, but Photoetched, not decals.
