Not my cup of tea, but cool to see a kit of it.

IIRC, a build article was in The Rodder's Journal a few years ago.

Someone made a big scale model, body only, of the Moonliner in fiberglass. Garage kit. Probably impossible to find now.

Are you polishing the pewter parts? I had one of these years ago and filed/sanded the air cleaner into a teardrop shape, then it polished up like chrome. Maybe drill a hole in the mating surface of both parts and jam a piece of plastic rod in there to help hold it in place.

Your hobby. Your models. Display them the way you want to. Anyone who has a problem with it can choose not to open your threads. You don't owe anyone an apology.

Or get a lifetime supply of MEK at Lowes.

Ian- Check with Aardvark Models. They have a hood and engine parts for a naturally aspirated Duesenberg J. It has the arc-shaped louvers on the hood sides like Greta Garbo's J. There's one on ebay right now. Just misspell the name as "Deusenberg" and you'll find it. I believe he has a couple of bodies for Duesenbergs in the works.

If you don't want the hassle that comes with discharging a firearm, look into big-bore air rifles. They are becoming more common, with prices falling. I have a Benjamin Marauder in .25 caliber. It operates like a bolt-action with a rotary magazine. It is the pre-charged pneumatic type, with an on board 3000psi air tank. The Marauder is available at a good price and can be tuned for more power. You can also re barrel it to use cast lead bullets for more knockdown power. Of course, a better fence will protect your pets without need for armed overwatch.

It's on page 5 of issue 200. A review of a resin "Monstercharged" Ford 4-cam 5.8 (351) offered by Clearly Scale. Each side of the intake manifold has a twin-screw supercharger laying on its side.

It's here. Look for a thread on page 2 by Ralph Torres.

I mean is it a model of a real product? I did a Google search and found a Dodge Charger with Monster energy drink logos on it. Does someone make a real supercharger setup for the Ford 4-can with a pair of twin-screw superchargers on their sides? If not, there should be.

One each of three different Williams Brothers 1/32 racing planes from the 1930s; Gee Bee Z, Gee Bee R, Cauldron 450/460, Hall Bulldog, and Laird Super Solution. LHS had them at 30% off. I got a better deal on all five.

I didn't even notice it. To be fair, I had no reason to notice it. My magazines have never arrived damaged, 'cause Gregg likes me best.

Sounds like it's pretty well covered for the few people who like that car and would spend money to have a model of it.

R.I.P., Barracuda project. You deserved better.

I'd give it a day or more before masking. I used Tamiya masking tape for a two-tone Duesenberg painted with Tamiya spray lacquer. That stuff is great.

Robby was also in an episode of The Twilight Zone. He replaced the CEO of a manufacturing company. The CEO was played by....umm...the guy who played Rob Petrie's boss, Mel, in The Dick Van Dyke Show. The CEO had replaced all the factory workers with robots, and now it was his turn. He had a habit of twirling his pocket watch on its chain...and so did his robot replacement.

I wouldn't trade Lady, my black lab, for anything. Thankfully, she never chewed things that she wasn't supposed to.

In the other thread, I said 1/8 scale '71 Barracuda and 1/8 scale series of Duesenbergs. After thinking about, I wonder the idea would be a waste of time. I'd love to see the kits, and I plan to be a billionaire (before taxes) later tonight, but I wonder if any hobby ships would order full detail Barracudas and Duesenbergs with an MSRP of $300 or more. There's now a 1/32 B-17 on the market that costs 4-5 times that of a 1/48 kit. It's not a huge seller. It's kind of pointless to bankroll Monogram's newest release if no one orders it. I guarantee all these subjects that people claim to be a license to print money have been considered and rejected by model companies. No offense to cop car/muscle car fans. I doubt my ideas ever even made it to a design meeting.

1/8 scale 1971 Barracuda pro/street, with option to build stock. 1/8 scale series of Duesenbergs.

I wondered if you would be the one with the answer. Thank you.

Can anyone tell me the distance from center of rear wheel to firewall on both cars? Thanks. Lee

Check out UMM-USA (Unique Master Models). They have quite a variety, including punches for square and hex shapes. The company was started by Jon Vojtech. He has built some incredible models. You have got to see the F-1 in the Gallery section. You'll think you're looking at a real plane, The cockpit will blow your mind. http://umm-usa.com/onlinestore/index.php?cPath=21_145&osCsid=b906290a77d2461513263ecf23f78d04

Nice work. One of my all-time favorite cars.

I'll let her know. BTW-the turned parts are acrylic. She used my Micro-Mesh polishing kit for it.
