  1. It looks pretty tough with those big meaty wheels. Should make a nice racer...
  2. Yeah, but we don't leave it outside or in a place where the boxes are disintegrating. Most of these horders do nothing with them ever. Jantrix mentioned american pickers, and they often say 'that thing is still sitting in the exact same place as when were were last here'.
  3. i just caught an episode of 'Toy Hunter' and i saw AMT 29 Ford Model A in the background.
  4. interesting. seems like a lot of work just to move the indicators
  5. your model looks fantastic, but BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH! the 59 dodge is an ugly car.
  6. I built mine years ago. decals by pattos place
  7. it's very nice. better than mine, which i just slapped on some orange paint.
  8. Heh, we never got the Sunbird in australia, but GM did use the name as a trim level on their base model Holden Torana. My sister had a four cylinder Torana Sunbird.
  9. I added drool to mine too. I love the way you've layered the paint on the skull, from the top you can make out the veins and skeleton
  10. Nice looking boat. interesting to see a toy turned into a genuinely original model. I got the grille to convert my Honcho to a gladiator from R&R's Wagoneer kit (i asked nicely and he sold me just the front panel).
  11. interesting take on it. is it painted orange or bare plastic?
  12. SuperTroopers Fifth Element HK Monaro Expendables F100
  13. Since i don't post everything i make on here, these are the cars i completed this year. it was a good year. Valiant Sv1 Oldsmobile 442 oldsmobile Delta 88 Ecto-1 Tremors Jeep Top Gear Bolivia Monza Half-Life Mad Max Interceptor Falling Skies
  14. Thanks for bringing up this necro thread (2007) as i just got a Turbine kit and this has given me plenty things to think about as i tackle it.
  15. NIce model. it'll be interesting to see how it comes along. prior to WW2 most cars were either 100% imported or imported Engine/Chassis with locally built body (coachbuilders). GM bought the coachbuilder 'Holden' (hence it became General Motors Holden) and started fully locally built cars in 1948.
  16. but why don't they offer them in kit form (or more correctly, in complete knock-down (CKD) form) as a side line? apart from special packaging, there's no change to the product.
  17. I'd better start brushing up on my 3D skills. gonna be some demand for it, me thinks.
  18. I just wish some of those diecast manufacters would get into selling their product in kit form. more subjects for us and it might turn some of those 'collectors' into builders.
  19. i thought corvettes were fiberglass? oh well, it's a nice model, and that clean motor looks funny, i guess it's a real rat rod (all go, no show)
  20. Jaymar productions did several australian models in 1/25 fibreglass resin. they are horrendous to work on. not recommended for small scale projects.
  21. That's one area that an online shop can't compete is on pre-sale service. most modelers are older guys who i'm sure prefer the human contact that a shop can offer, but most treat you like it's not worth their time to help, even if that's what they're paid to be there for.
  22. I wanted a train to park behind my rail Delorean, so i got a G scale 2-6-0 locomotive.
  23. Neither GM or Ford are pulling out of australia, they are just killing their locally built models. they'll be fully imported models (everything except commodore and Falcon was already fully imported).
