It's fake. Parts from a pair of 4360s bolted together for display only.

Wow. It's tough deciding which vehicle in this thread looks most stupid.

Once again, the guy working on my truck. Still no work done. I'd take it home and demand a refund, but I doubt I'd ever see my money.

Have you guys used it for this? I know that stuff has gained (non-existant) super powers. I once read a post from a Ferrari owner asking if he could use JB to patch a hole in the transaxle of his Testarossa.

America gets PLENTY of aid and offers for aid and financial assistance for natural diasters. Much of it gets declined. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_response_to_Hurricane_Katrina Also- plurals are not formed with an apostrophe "S".

I have a crazy project idea for a customized diecast, but I have no idea what to use for putting it back together. What adhesive can hold it together and be strong enough to be handled during body work? Thanks. Lee

I wish I could find more pictures of this one

I think it is ***awesome*** that there will be a 1/32 Horten 229 and 1/32 Do-335.

Were they milk jugs like we have today? Were they full? If they were full and the type used today, make them from white sheet styrene. Break that shape down; it's a rectangle with rounded corners, a rounded top, and a cut away section where a handle goes. You could punch out a plastic disc or two for a lid. Use sandpaper and files for the rounded corners and cut away where the handle goes. Carve a handle a put it on with liquid cement. Repeat 24x...or have it copied in resin. Most important: keep it in scale! You don't need a food truck with tomatoes the size of bowling balls and sandwiches made for blue whales.

It was a land speed racer being tested, minus skin, on the dragstrip. Its name was "Motion 1", but nicknamed "Rhinoceros" when the body panels were on, because the humps to clear the engines. It was owned by Neal Black. In 1970, it crashed at almost 400mph, killing its driver. http://www.nhra.com/blog/dragster-insider/2008/12/18/34443/

Measure the wheels and tires and look for better parts from another kit, or even consider getting a damaged diecast off ebay. I got resin hood sides with arc-shaped louvers by getting a damaged Greta Garbo Duesenberg ebay.

Is he the guy with the 1/24 Bluebird LSR?

Plumber

The guy (cough, cough) "working" on my pickup. He told me he finally got the frame work done (extending Ranger supercab frame and putting a long bed on it). I drove there today with a buddy. Not only has nothing been done, the bed is full of old tires and car parts. We're going back next weekend to get it. He promises it will be done, but his word is worthless. If the work is not done, I'll take it home and take him to court.

Even though you have no need for more than one? I just got an Etzel's Speed Classics Stutz Blackhawk land speed racer. That makes 3. I have a disease.

Yeah, this thread is kinda pathetic, with all the wild speculation and baseless condemnation. I worked on a model over the weekend. I modified the heck out of a 1/8 scale resin body...which reminds me...it would be awesome to see Revell tool up a '29 roadster body for the Big Deuce kit.

Nice. I'm a big fan of the Dora. I built one back in the '90s, when I was in the Army, serving in Germany. It was a model of a captured plane, wearing red stars. It turned out really nice. It was on my desk in the barracks, sitting next to a model of one of Gerhard Barkhorn's Bf109s. I came home one day, after Germans had installed cable for us. The '190 with red stars was sitting in the floor with broken landing gear. Annoying, but...eh...had to laugh a little bit.

Sounds a bit optimistic, but boy is it refreshing to read. Much better than the "anything I don't like is stupid (and con not possibly improve from where it is today)" point of view.

Nice work on the butcher bird.

Whoa. That's neat. It's all for a model idea that has been in my head for a while. I've seen photos of small sand rails with motorcycle engines and chain-driven I.R.S., but no diff (it's in sand. No wheel hop there). Thanks.

Specifically, trikes with chain drive and a simple solid bar for a rear axle. Is there such a thing as a chain drive IRS that allows the inside and outside wheels to rotate at different speeds in turns? Just curious.

The shop working on my pickup. It's a project truck, getting customized. A 1986 Ranger supercab, having the frame stretched to drop a long bed on it. (The factory only put short beds on supercabs). He has had my truck since MARCH. The shop is far from home, and my schedule makes trips there virtually impossible. The one time I went out there, the only thing he had done was take the bed off the donor truck, roll it into his shop, and use it as a dumpster. This after saying the frame work was complete.

No. Zombies aren't real.

Is it Olivia Wilde??? :-)

Does that apply to books written by Glen Beck?
