  6. Happy holidays to all,,wishing you the best for 2016! Its been awhile,,I got this at a recent NNL Mtr Cty area show,,its a 1971 1/8th Revell "LA Street chopper" kit .That I /built /converted to the " Captn America chopper". At the show when I found the kit,,it was at the bottom of a stack of leftover 1/2 built glue blobs,,almost didnt see it at first,,then I caught the corner of the box ,, and freaked when I saw it!!,,,soooooo,,,had to have it. " 35$ and its yours" he said,,,,I had my wallet out in seconds. Got it home and never looked back. I have wanted a Captn bike for many yrs,,but never saw one out there in a kit form. It does have a different front fork than the movie bike{ movie bike has a single tube fork design} and the gas tank is a bit larger than the movie bike,,but other than that,,its pretty close. Enjoy everyones build here,,really great stuff. All the best,,Scotthttp://s1327.photobucket.com/user/axlemount112/media/001_zpsrpevhpy9.jpg.html?o=10
  7. As" Mcloud" says "There ya go" LOL
  8. Mine average about a month,give or take a few days. I work on them in the AM,before going to work,,and then a couple hrs after work. Depends on how in-depth I want the kit to be. I bought a 1/6th large scale Tamiya Yamaha YZ250 MX bike,,and that one will probably take 2 months or more,,EXTREME amount of detail provided in that kit,,{cant wait to do that one!} So,,its up to you how much you want to do,,wire+plumb the motor?,,seatbelts? Roll bars? X-tra scratch built stuff adds time to it,,but has a more complete result. Enjoy yourself no matter how much time you spend,,thats whats most important IMO.
  9. I have the "Cherry Bomb" kit,,havent built it yet,,but I may do that one next,,fun contest it looks like,,way cool!
  10. Thanks ,,enjoy your works as well,,havent been on in a awhile ,,had to get new web service+ setup in different room@the house.made more room for building ect.Anyways,, I used just meijer ford blue paint,,didnt clear it. Kept it simple,it is a 1986 Monogram kit,,it was 1/2 built when I got it{orange paint},,but the hood already had the opening for a dual quad hi-rise setup,,and the injected setup fit quite well for it instead,,thanks for looking+ the feedback,,cheers!
  11. WOW,,really cool ,,never knew there was such a kit of this type out there,,wild.
  12. Great job,,I enjoy planes+jets + sci-fi stuff as a break from the auto builds,,nice stuff there
  13. Nice Mopar!
  14. Hi all,,just a rebuild of a NNL 2014 kit I got for 5$,,had to do a total teardown + rebuild. Added injected intake setup,rollbar,seatbelts,,larger rear tires,,sidepipes. My fav Boss Stang of the stable.
  15. Off topic,,Tom your avatar pic is too funny! lol Love it!
  16. A 1989 John Force Revell Olds FC,,,Tamiya 76' Porsche 936 Torbo LM car,,and a 85 or so Revell Thundrbird Turbo coupe,,,all for 15$ from a swap meet today@ LHS,,,Score!
  17. You may have to use different rims for the back than the front
  18. Sure you can! Practice,,Practice,,Practice,,you can do anything you put your mind to.
  19. Heres a few pics of the chassis on mine,,this was a resto done this year,,after first building it in the late 90's
  20. Thanks folks,,I posted this in the wrong section,,didnt know there was a section called "Big Boyz",,,its all good. Yes the rear tires look a little out of scale,,but in a good way,,lol. I sized up the dia of both front+back rims+tires from the trike model w/the rims from the stock kit,,and they werent too different,,its got a" Dave Deal" style rear wheel; setup,,oversized a bit. I also cut the front frame work by the radiator,,it used to have a "loop" that went in front of the Rad,,cut that out and squared it,,looks a bit cleaner. All in all,,Its one of my fav kits on the shelf. Enjoy you'alls stuff here also! Cheers!
  21. Thanks KG,,I like this series racing,,just picked up a 1976 Tamiya Porsche Martini 936 Turbo Lemans car,,a 89 John Force Olds FC,,and a 89 Revell Turbo Thunderbird SC, all 3 for 15$ ! Score! I think the Porsche is my fav of the 23 new ones,,happy building.
  22. Thanks SF,,yea there the kit supplied
