What do you want for them?

Cool article. I would definitely buy a Greer/Black/Prudhomme kit, plus Freight Train and Eddie Hill’s 4.99 car. Maybe more. Thanks

Wow. Lots of cool kits there. I must get the Mercedes 170V pickup, and the Boeing 2707. For anyone not familiar with the plane, it was going to be a Mach 3 airliner that would have been 302 feet long.

OH! I don’t see that on my phone and my PC is not in use for now. Yes, I love that movie. It’s a riot. Another great old comedy is The In-Laws with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin. Forget the Michael Douglas remake.

Are you burnishing it down? This was done with Tamiya masking tape, trimmed with an X-Acto knife, painted with Tamiya spray can lacquers.

One of the magazines had a build article on a “ZR-32” way back in the early ‘90s. It was an AMT 1932 Chevy roadster with the LT-5, rectangular headlights, and scratch built seats with cushioning made from half round styrene. It was painted purple. That’s about all I remember. It may have been a model of a real car, but I could be wrong about that.

I don’t know what you mean by that.

Looking for the fat treaded back tires and the skinny front tires. Thanks. Lee

I have bought several engines and transmissions from Texas 3D Customs. He’s very meticulous and it shows. The parts are very smooth and very detailed.

I didn’t design it or print it.

Tackle boxes

I was thinking of the bags for vacuum sealing food.

Hmmm I messed up the coding.

Yes, but it wasn’t that way when it arrived. The photo after joining the two cabs shows two low spots in either side of the join. It was sanded with a stiff board. Is it my modifications or something else???

I’m at work, so I can’t post a pic of it as is. This photo is a few days ago. Maybe a week. You can see a couple of low spots on either side of the join. The back section had a crack when it arrived. I didn’t want to wait for another cab, so I just went over the crack with super glue. This truck started out as two Crew Cabs. I cut them both and made a six door cab. The back end of the roof is sagging down. There is sheet styrene reinforcement lengthwise for the doors, and sheet styrene on the bottom of the roof. Cyanoacrylate (Super glue) was used for the joints. It’s my first 3D printed kit, so I don’t want to wildly speculate.

It’s been several years since I bought any. I took down my model workbench when my two brothers needed a place to stay and save money. Anyway- I have a couple of projects underway so I went to local store to order some Evercoat Eurosoft putty. It was $105 for a 20oz can. I do like to buy local, but in this case I got online and found the prices all over the place. Summit Racing has it for $79.99. Other places have it for a few dollars less, but it’s places I have never heard of. I think that I should only open it when I have several projects that need it, then seal the can in a Seal-a-Meal bag.

I have the Hasegawa “From A” 962C. I believe it has the same wing. Let me know if you can use it.

Found it (Fujimi 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 300CE) Thank you. Lee

Pro Street Monogram 1971 Barracuda. From around 1990. It was inspired by a Steve Stanford sketch. That sketch only appeared on a Car Craft subscription card from 1986 or so. It was stolen after that. Like others in this thread, I was a bit too ambitious. The chassis was from the Matt and Debbie Hay pro street Thunderbird, stretched a little. I made filler strips to make the tubs conform to the body. Rear wheel openings were enlarged. I should dig it out and give it another go.

It arrived today, and I started cutting it up immediately. A long way to go, but I think you get the idea.

Yes. Thank you!

I’m getting a 3D printed Chevy square body. I want it to be a mild custom; cool paint job and slightly lowered. Does anyone still make machined aluminum wheels for models?

Thanks. That would be a cool model.

Can you post a link?

Is the Revell 1950 Oldsmobile engine close enough? I mean the block and heads. It will need new valve covers, exhaust, and intake.
