    Arrived today. Will be looking to merge with the Aurora/Monogram/Revell DB4

    ????????????
  3. Exotics_Builder
    And a BMW 850i and a couple of others as well
  4. Exotics_Builder
    Double that, but I think it is a waste of resources.
  5. Exotics_Builder
    I'm a tad too far away now to have made it. ?

    Maybe some of you are already familiar with this, or at least parts. I cam across these today and, even though sort of Cliff Notes Overviews, were somewhat interesting.

    Why?????????

    They also have aluminum and copper alloy tubes

    I think so as well and I am not a Ford fan. It is good that some of the better Lindberg efforts are coming out, even though under the AMT label. They're now one company anyway.

    Updated reissue of the Lindberg kit

    Did this 3 series about 20 years ago and was not overly difficult. One thing I found on many premium series was shallow body lines that needed careful attention.

    Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet. As we are still unpacking and setting up, it may be a while. I might convince the "boss" to make an outing to Cannon Beach for the holiday display and some events. Since we are retired, we can work traffic. We're in NW part of Camas. Will let you know. Been a tad since we were in Newport. Looks like several of the shops have changed over the years (we used to live in Bellevue until transfer to the Chicago area).

    their 750il kit gave up its front end (plus a Fujimi M635csi engine) to get me this. So I hope they get back in the groove
  14. Exotics_Builder
    Me as well. I remember their premium kits BMW and Mercedes of the early 90's. Would love to see more of that. Think of a modern M5 for example.

    Don't you worry about a seismic event throwing them off the shelves? As I am setting my room up as well, I am watching this for ideas. My place is about 100 miles from Sam I Am and closer to the Cascades, but I want to have some security on the paints. My room at this point.

    After almost a week, I have loaded up the photos from the opening of the World of Speed Museum (Wilsonville OR) Mustang Exhibit. Although small, there are some significant cars on display. I also took some photos of other unique vehicles on display. And am eagerly awaiting the Spring, when a Ferrari exhibit is coming. Mustang aficionados may know more about many of these cars.

    This arrived yesterday

    Just have too many that I know I will not build. At my rate, I'll be over 200 to get through them (not counting any I might buy as well). I am just rearranging what my build likes are and culling out the ones I am least likely to enjoy building
  19. Exotics_Builder
    Trying to reduce it further. I unloaded about 150 before the move. Looking to knock it down by another 200-250.
  20. Exotics_Builder
    Doesn't include the aftermarket or diecast.
  21. Exotics_Builder
    They were.

    Revell Meyers Manx? AMT dids the Meyers Manx. Revell did some Dune Buggies, but I don't recollect one of them being a Meyers. Great choice on the engine. I have been contemplating that versus turbocharging the VW engine in the kit or possibly a Porsche Flat 6 (though those are 1/24).
  23. Exotics_Builder
    Yes. Quite good. I have been satisfied with what I have gotten from him thus far

    Not much in Vancouver. There is a Hobby Town off Andresen North of Padden Pkwy. But it is not large, and car stuff varies. The best Hobby Shop is in Beaverton, OR. Called Tammies Hobbies. But, if you are doing it weekdays, watch for traffic snarls as you need to get past downtown Portland or use 205 and work your way back.
