I emailed last week and haven't gotten a response. I'll keep trying. Thanks.

For my Cannonball project, I'm trying to buy some laptops and radar detectors. I found them from an eBay seller mali.steg, but when I go to pay it tells me, 'One or more sellers can't accept payments right now. Contact the sellers for help.' Has anyone run into this before? I was going to make them myself, but I don't think my eyes are quite up to that level of detail anymore.

So glad to hear about Ed Sexton. I built a 1/24 Monogram Chevy stepside up from some parts kits, I wonder if this is the same kit? Either way I'll be getting at least one more. The Baja Bandito is going to follow me home too!

Good work as usual! I have this kit painted in the same color waiting for a final burst of inspiration.

I just looked it up and they were indeed UCSP. They are excellent quality. Shipping took about 3 weeks and they were packed in a nice presentation box.

The man is an artist, I am a dabbler. Amazing!

I've put Krylon out in direct sun when the temperature was over 100 and it turned out really good, so I can see how it would work with a hair dryer. I do wonder if this trick might dry Rustoleum quicker as it seems to take forever to dry?

It came in this week at the Austin area Hobby Lobby's.

Thanks for the replies, I'll start looking for the Fujimi kit. I just remembered I've got a set of the 1552 Outlaws that I bought last year on eBay for a good price. Can't remember who makes them but they came from the Ukraine.

Looks like you got some good stuff!

I could use another 911!

Silly question I suppose, but does anyone make an equivalent to the two-part Bondo in smaller hobby sized quantities?

So yesterday I fell to temptation and ordered a set of Magnus Walker 277 decals from China. Now the question; which Porsche 911 kit comes closest to matching his car? I'm guessing it's going to be a Fujimi, but any guidance to which in particular and preferably is there another manufacturer that has one? Has anyone attempted this build?

I finally got time to do a little on my Cannonball entry. The decalling made me not want to touch it for a while, but I got that done. I've been working 60 hour weeks for the last few months plus an hour commute each way so I've been mostly laying around on the weekends. However, I have done a little more and I've worked a few hours on other projects. Then last week we went on vacation and did a Mini-Cannonball, 3890 miles in 7 1/2 days. We went from Austin to San Francisco and back with stops in Reno, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon and Roswell. At least I brought the appropriate reading material!

Do you have a build thread on this one?

Looks great! Are you going to sell copies of those wheels? LOL

I envy your skills, it looks great!

My local Hobbytown has one of these, I may have to go and get it!

I bought his 6BT Cummins engine, decent quality and arrived quickly!

I really need to order that kit from R&M!

I've heard these and the Chaparral molds still exist. I Maybe the Xerex Special and all the other Can Am car molds are still around somewhere. I could sure do with a series of reissues.

I'll get another of the Trans Am to do a Rockford conversion. I really hope they will decide to do an Esprit or Formula version someday. They had those parts in the kit back around 1974 or so. Maybe the molds are still around. Speaking of that, how about backdating it to the 1976 version just for variety?

I grew up hating these cars, but I love this model. Good job!

Beautifull!

Excellent work!
