  1. Thanks for the assist there, Vic. I knew someone knew something about this.
  2. This thing actually looks like some kid found it out in a field, rattle canned the paint, dropped in a motor, and decided to take a sawsall to the top one Saturday night. Great job Chuck!
  3. It's even more insane every time I see it. Excellent work.
  4. This was covered here somewhere before. The car seemed to have went through some transitions through the series including a headlight conversion. Since there is no 100 percent way to portrait them all, you may want to use some of the universal features of all the cars and try creating some features of one particular car of the set.
  5. Thanks Josh, I had the long bed fleetside once. Gonna have to keep my eyes open for this one.

    Jaguar XJ220

    Nice save on this one. I remember this kit. If they were all equally as poorly designed, I tip my hat to you for even finishing it. Mine ended up in a million pieces because of all the warpage and fit issues. I felt pretty good about it too. LOL I think mine was Monogram. I bought it when it first came out so, I don't recall.
  7. OK, I don't ever remember seeing this in a stepside kit, or I would have had it by now. Who makes it and what year? Oh yeah, this thing looks amazing!
  8. I only like quoting pictures if there is a certain one in the set on which I have a comment or question...and it is very easy to edit out the ones you don't need from the quote.
  9. Agreed, but don't forget, if you happen to be near your local hobby lobby or Michaels, take a coupon in and get a can of Testors if it is really, truely what you want for the paint job. I don't really mind paying about $3 a can for the laquer. If I go in there to get a car, I pay for the car with a coupon, my wife pays for the paint with a coupon and I come out pretty good.
  10. A 72 Nova laying body. Now that is sick and I have never seen it before. Excellent!
  11. So, um, lemme see if I can guess. The cage is between the two front seats and the passenger door only opens from the outside. Geez, that really would be a joke. Then again, I saw one on Youtube that was modded with a Lambo motor.
  12. No, he meant Destoted. Trust me, my wife has done that to a couple of mine.
  13. Dang, this is your first build? I didn't start building this good for a long time. Keep up the great work.
  14. Looks great. If you have a second set of decals, it would be cool to see refinished as it was with that engine.
  15. That's the best idea ever for instruction sheets!
  16. Wow! This is over the top.
  17. Now that you guys mention it, mine are in different languages. Gee, that's strange. I guess they are going with easier than cheaper in packaging universally for all countries on some of these.
  18. I just picked up the AMT Texaco 1950 3100 Chevy Truck. When I pulled out the parts, I noticed the instructions looked a little "thick". Well, low and behold, there were six sets of instructions in the bottom. I bought the kit brand new, from Hobby Lobby, yesterday. Is this something common with this kit?
  19. This looks pretty cool. I was scared to open this at first because I was thinking Oldsmobile Sillhouette van. What a pleasant surprise!
  20. There was a topic listed here with a Revell add for their early 2012 releases but, I can't remember where I saw it. It seems that Round 2 and Revell are getting ready to put out some great kits.
  21. Did you take a black die castand set it afire with lighter fluid and a match to take reference pics? Just kidding, it just looks that realistic. Definite win!
  22. I've seen real H2s laying body on airbags. The amount of work to do it is insane.
  23. This is a great build. All the color detail makes it over the top.
  24. Gee man, could you have left one thing to complain about? Those are incredible!
  25. LOL, Funny thing. I picked up a Revell 68 Firebird for $2.00 at a yard sale and painted it this color. Great looking C6
