    We have the same in Australia, but it's a 'P' (provisional license). personally i don't see how it helps you be a better driver, it only allows the police to target you. Closest i've found to my first car is a 1/64 diecast two door Luce (mine is a four door)

    It's a nice kit, although it comes partly assembled (i'd have preferred to build the whole thing myself).

    sweet. it just needs a bit of snowy road to be displayed on.

    i like it. the wear and patina on the chrome makes it look a little rusty, which i think makes it look more like an honest survivor car. The only suggestion i have is add some clear to the front lamps in the grille. i'd suggest a layer of 5-minute epoxy to make it look like it's made of glass. i usually reference the 59 dodge when talking about ugly cars (it's not just ugly, but also looks angry)

    Interesting patina effect you've achieved. top job

    nice model. i totally get wanting to do a replica of your first car (sadly mine isn't available in scale). i like the little details, like the music player on the dash. Does any of the other kits come with a RHD dash? maybe someone would swap with you if they want to make theirs LHD?

    some nice work there. that color really pops

    awesome work. it's a joy to watch it come together.
  9. kruleworld
    yes, this is required fixing.

    This is Captain Risky's Stunt Falcon... Budget Direct – an Australian insurance company – have thrown us into 2015 with their new ‘Kick It and Rip It’ campaign with "Captain Risky". He makes his black and blue debut as a daredevil who’s just, well, not that good. But it’s funny and ridiculous and that is the success of this ad. It shows us someone so buffoonish, so uninsurable, that next to him, anyone can be insured. The Falcon XB is from ThePartsBox.com and the decals are printed by Pattos Place. The Roof engine is scratchbuilt. Check him out here

    This is the Van from the movie "Short Circuit", a cute movie from the 80s about an errant robot that escapes its creators and helps a young woman find love. The Van is a Chevy "Candy Van" kit from AMT with GMC grille and scratchbuilt box cargo area. The decals are exclusive to Pattos Place. Special thanks to Doobie for the GMC grille. The rims and tires are from scene unlimited. You can catch up on the build here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/103932-gmc-box-truck/

    nice color. looks like quite an imposing model.

    fabulous job. looked at your wip, you've done a lot of work on this.
  14. kruleworld
    fabulous job. I did mine as it appeared in "It Started with a Kiss", only difference is the number plate! I actually cut the chassis from the body so it could be put together and painted as one piece.

    I've had this 74 Caddy for a number of years and noticed the a-pillar had broken and the model looked rather sad and dirty, so i cleaned it up and detailed it with bare metal foil and detail touches, like the tail lights. it's a Johan promo. i've not detailed the interior or chassis, but i did replace the chassis securing tacks with screws. a bit of Novus polish really brought the metallic green plastic to a nice shine.

    That a tamiya skyline? here's mine
  17. kruleworld
    Yeah, i think it gives it a bit more identity being a 500, since it already had the convex rear window. Your grille actually looks better than the stock piece, so the work was worthwhile. i just bought one from ModelHaus

    all the nascar engine pictures i looked at, the only 'covered' ones were like this one, where the ht leads are simply on the side of the heads. all others had them running over the top of the valve covers.

    reminds me of the stretch corvette (aka Dorvette)

    Those make for some of the most interesting subjects, because everyone else goes right past them onto the nearest Charger/Camaro/Mustang. zip lock bags are you friend, get some now. Your review is a fun read, thanks.

    I think you've done a nice job on this very poor kit. I'm surprised MPC has been able to keep it in production all these years. FWIW, the later versions did fix the problem with the 500 rear window (they swapped out the body with their 70 'fast and furious' charger, which was otherwise identical).
  22. kruleworld
    i agree. it's something i've not seen done before.
  23. kruleworld
    i did a test print of the decals (on ordinary paper) I use scissors to cut it out and make sure the size is right. The grille doesn't need the center cross-bar, so i cut out the grille making 6 sections into 3. the grille was replaced by some mesh i had.

    some amazing work here. good job!
  25. kruleworld
    it looks good. might want to send him one or two, keep him thinking about kits.
