Cool colors.I don't know I would ever use bright colors in the interior. Do you think they will be able to be used and still work?

just wandering about movie cars
Nova-ss replied to gray07's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Revell kit that was CHiPs Firebird. That kit in that color,the plastic is so brittle. It breaks when you touch the plastic.iI have Revell Happy Days Chevy 53 in same similar color and it had the same problem.I have a few others in same color all with same problem...brittle plastic..worse then normal...be careful. -

Why do your kits end up stalled
Nova-ss replied to atomicholiday's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Most of the reasons for me are because. .. 1.I need more info for the project?..85% of tbe time. 2.Need parts I can't find or need to still get. 5% 3.Don't know or need to find a solution to a problem I caused or the kit has,and if I'm modding something then how to do it or invent a better way. 7% 4.Yep...get boarded 3% Thats the main reason.I know I have 35 active projects.I like it that way. -

Box art and your decision?
Nova-ss replied to Petetrucker07's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
When I was 13 there was no internet.I went to the store. ...looked...researched right in the store for hours or 5 minutes what ever time my stepfather gave me.made my decision, went home to the basementown ...started building...have fun.and opinion s happy.same as today.I'm more picky now and use the internet,but untill its in my hands and in my own vision.thats when I form my own opinion on the kit or kits...or even parts.I don't complain about it...I change anything I don't like...thats me?...I just have fun...thats whats for. -

Tire licensing rights Round 2 vs Revell
Nova-ss replied to MsDano85gt's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Well for me,tires are important. There looks the way they fit and of corse side walls.I build the the replica of what I'm building. it means slot to me.so do the rims.I also like certain brands on my projects.I don't speak for anyone but me,soI like others buy tire packs from AMT and tire lots from were ever I can get them..I've been collecting tires for a very lonnnnggg time.I understand licensing and it ok if model company's charge a little extra for the tire company's. But what don't get is why there isn't a company out there for us to get tires and rims from with different brands,width's,heights, subject matter..like street,race,off road all the different types. I would rather have a kit with no wheels an tires then go find,shop what ever to get what I want on my project.why don't Round2,Revell/Monogram and all the rest make seprate tire and wheel combo packs...so we decide want we want on our builds.I don't use pegeuss suppler for the most part.and yes it would be nice if there was more decals for us to make closer to what we want.we art all artist's and we need the right supples to create.thats the wsy I see it..my words I don't mean to hurt anyone so if I did..sorry. -
Box art and your decision?
Nova-ss replied to Petetrucker07's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I can look past the art.but I have to be honest.given two kits tge same but different box art..I will take and am drawn towards the box art that get imagination going...I do love alot of the box art that was in that era.it just sucks me in.....shoot me! But I love it. -

rebuilds and "glue bombs"
Nova-ss replied to tom.ulmer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Nope not to me...I understand that.I sometimes look for a long while before finding what kit or parts I or others are looking for.I get alot of buildups from a friend.I never know what I may get from him but is always fun.I don't find anything wrong resin parts if you can find them.I even scrach build parts if I can.the more model builds you know help to have friendships that can last for long time,but helps us all to find parts or kits you mite need for other or self.I was looking for a grill for a AMT 73 ish pickup I had and missing the grill.but after a few years of looking....low and behold on ebay for 7.99.seen other for over 30 dollars.there are kits out there to buy for a 100.00 but why mess up a fresh kit for a grill? I can't do that.thats one part I was looking for.there are people looking for parts to restore builds.it can be difficult to find the parts....and as said already...harder to find the parts or kits.. -

Nova-ss replied to Hot_Rod_Bob's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
