  1. Hit that one right out the park Pete, looks fantastic. I need to add larger brakes to my blue n white version.
  2. Sweet build and the wheels really suit it. I have a stalled build due to not being able to find suitable steels and tyres. I'll loom up Fireball.
  3. Rats just sold 1 of those. Never gave a thought to making into a beater. Yours looks real bad (in a good way) Mark. Fantastic engine detail.
  4. Has anybody built / modded a 29 model A ? Like the Nova they look a bit odd in the box 'as is' ? Be interested to see any improved builds. Changing the headers and chassis colour might make a difference but the grill & lights are real bad.
  5. Yeah roof looks a goof Snake. I have the Revell Novas but this is just a quick winter build.
  6. 1 of the best I owned & sold was an 87 Caprice. Fake black n white, not fast but a huge smiles per mile car ! Got more looks (many of them strange ones) than my 57 Chevy does.
  7. Very nice 57 with great detailing Anders. I built the older tooled amt 57 in the same colours way back. Only stocker Ive ever built. My 1:1 was originally these colours from the factory.
  8. Rats, just realised the passenger door panel has the vent window moulded in it. Anybody have a spare ?
  9. Both look fantastic.
  10. 5 mins on the bench & it was dissasembled. Most of the chrome will be stripped the huge wheels going in the parts box & a quick make over is planned. Probably the 1st time ive raised the ride height on a model lol. Nascar rims & tyres look better than the huge rims. The shapeis a little off as many diecasts, I hope a change of colour and stance will disguise it.
  11. I recently picked up a cheap 1:24 Maisto Chevy Nova at the local charity shop. Its got minor scuffs & a missing interior door panel.
  12. Thanks Art. Im not up on semi trailers and living in the UK most models ive seen have longer units.
  13. Thanks Chris / Michel With everything going on Id forgot this. I have a set of Jada wheels but completly overlooked them. The diecast tyres vs Revell 57 Chevy, lower profile looks better. Im going to strip the chrome tonight. Tahoes look good as a 2nd option.
  14. I recently picked up a Revell 1:24 diecast Peterbuilt 359. Has anybody got the 08896 diecast box trailer ? Maybe its the box but it looks too short ? I have only seen pics but how does it compair in length to a regular kit 1:24 box trailer ? I dont own either at the moment.
  15. Love the dually with both trailers Jan. The 1:1 musta been huge.
  16. I wasnt aware of the nail polish trick Snake. Gotta try it on a die cast Tahoe.
  17. Hi Guys I have some time due off work & planning to work on a couple of Silverados. 1 of my 1:1 crew cab with a resin body. I have 20" Silverado SS rims so looking for the same or similar wheels as these The closest Ive found are in Lindbergs late Cop Dodge Charger ? Anything better out there ?
  18. That GMC is the poodles plums Steve. What are the wheels & tyres from ?
  19. Hey Ive got the ,000s its the few numbers before that Im trying to find........
  20. Thats very very nice. A guy I know here in the UK has a very similar 1:1. Was running 15"steels & DDs but recently changed to 17" stock style 5 spoke mags as your model
  21. Jon with the paint, rims, stance and er... Rust this could easily be a 1:1 !! But wow a very cool build. One of the best (non bandit) Trans Ams ive seen on here.
  22. Drives me crazy when they an odd size as its real hard to find changable parts. A friend sent me a vw bus and thats also real small. Good thing the TD garbage wagon surfboards are also out of scale lol
  23. Did you make any mods yet CapSat ? Detailing might help but the wheels just dont look right ?
