    AMEN. Good grief, what percent of the reponses are of the "build the boring sedan I drove to high school" variety??
  2. LDO
    Oh heck yeah! Slanted B-pillars, too! I'd pre-order one today.

    I give up. What's in the box?

    It can't hurt to ask resin casters if they would be interesyed in selling copies of your car body, and give you several copies as payment. I did that with an out of production drag car a while back.

    Very nice, but why the unusual scale?
  6. LDO
    I couldn't find it. Can you post a link?

    Good grief. After reading all of this, I don't blame Revell for not making an "official" request for our input.

    No idea, but you can get a different liquid cement that is already about as thin as water. Get a can of MEK at the hardware store. It's a strong solvent, so use sparingly. I apply it with a tiny paintbrush. Don't use brushes like the type on the bottom of a cap. It will hold too much MEK. Test it first so you don't melt your prized kit parts.

    Ah. I see you found the ModelMartin tire.

    Wow, Bobber. You really had to do some searching to bring up a 6-year old thread. Check with Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland. Also check with a guy from this forum; ModelMartin. He has a company that makes resin parts and kits. At one time he offered a 300mm rear tire for the Revell chopper. It also had a wheel and parts to modify the frame and belt drive.

    Great Traders List

    Uncle Potts: good guy. I got a pair of glue bomb 1/16 Revell Chevy Pickups for a sealed Heller Delahaye 135. I kinda feel guilty for that one. I'm going to offer him another kit.

    Hmmm...Testors lacquer and meditation. Hard to argue with results.

    I just traded for 2 stepside glue bombs. Just wondering if A fleetside bed was ever made.

    Yeah they are really cool. At a model show in Austin, someone had a shadowbox diorama with a few of these inside. Dark box with UFOs that had lights. They were on/above a hillside in the desert. REALLY cool diorama.

    Tell us about the paint. What brand, color, etc. Airbrushed or spray can?

    Modelmartin/Aardvark Models resin Duesenberg "Mudd Coupe" conversion for the Monogram Duesenberg kits. I'm so excited to see ANYTHING aftermarket for a Duesenberg...but this car...wow. If Darth Vader had been around in the 1930s, he would have driven it. I just "bought it now" so I don't have pics yet, but here is the real car:

    Mark Gustavson did, about 10-15 years ago. He may still have some. They were photoetched and needed to be soldered together. IMHO, a simpler solution would be to box the rails with sheet styrene, then drill holes and glue in some Evergreen styrene tubing.

    You gonna scratchbuild the whole thing? Do you have a real Lotus 7?

    10,000 firecrackers. 10 packs of 1,000 each. It's New Year's and my brother is back home from Washington state. We'll set them off simultaneously. I'll see if I can make a video and post it. Oh yeah- I also got a Jetsons spaceship off ebay. I just want it for the clear canopy. I want to build a Weesner-inspired hover car. Anybody want the leftovers? I'm just not into the Jetsons.

    Getting crazy now

    LDO replied to CAL's topic in WIP: Model Cars

    What's in the forground? It looks like hand rails from the Titanic...after being under water for 100 years.

    (Slight hijack) That kit would be great as a greenhouse donor for a model of one of Keith Weesner's hovering cars. Now, for a bikini-clad pilot...

    Sanitary T??? That's the name of a drain pipe fitting. LOL
  23. LDO
    Looked around and couldn't find anything definite. Thanks. Lee.

    Finish something. Learn to use automotive lacquers. (This whole thing with Tamiya Clear being discontinued has really thrown a monkey wrench into my world. I bet I have 60 cans of Tamiya spray paint. :-( )

    Plumber. My advice if you have a plumbing problem: call a plumber. :-P
