  1. Anyone know of a good caster offering these or similar tires in 1/25-1/24? I am looking for a set or two for my '55 panel truck.
  2. Anyone know what other kits have the same wheels as the 70 1/2 Baldwin Camaro? I have on but its missing the wheels and I am going to trade it off to someone, just need to be sure it is complete.
  3. Right on! I just bought one, thanks for the inspiration!

    Junker

    Funny, that's how I see them even when they're restored LOL, cool build!
  5. That is absolutely beautiful!
  6. I love it, been looking at getting one for some time, but those Fleabay prices are just horrid! That brass has an antique, unpolished look to it, like it really is old. Excellent build!
  7. Beautiful, simply terrific!
  8. This is what it looks like... Saw this at the Goodguys show last weekend, complete with wheelie bars.

    Bug finished

    Excellent! great job on this one, but why is there two voltage regulators?
  10. Very nice, you did an excellent job with the details, I love these old service trucks!
  11. Pretty bad ass! Even better on person, the photos don't do it justice!
  12. Very cool! Of course any bugs and buses I see here are pretty bad ass! I had plans to build a Herbie, wasn't sure what kit to use since none of the available kits are quite right for an exact replica, but this one seems to fit nicely. I also want to build Horrace the hate bug.
  13. This is an old MPC "Dust Devil" kit. It was missing some pieces here and there, but I managed to scrounge up enough to build it. bed accessories are from the parts box, brush guard is from the A-Team van, engine has a few things from the parts box. Since these photos were taken, the hood went MIA, and I have searched EVERYWHERE, even went through every kit box, and nothing, got a replacement from an old Revell kit, but haven't finished it yet. Hope you guys like it, it will get a nice "dirty" treatment once I get the use of pastels down just right.
  14. Since seing Steve's build I figured I would finish mine up. I had a ton of problems with the old decals and went through 3 sets. The clear was difficult to work with and I am still not sure why. But I am calling it done for now. I still don't have the side windows in, but they don't quite fit right so I will make some better ones later.
  15. Love it, looks really nice with the exhaust cut out of the rockers. But isn't the Badman kit a '55? This is a '56.
  16. Steve, anything and EVERYTHING is worthy of posting on this board, from what I can see, you have talent that some don't, adding the little details like plug wires on this F/C, the paint, it all looks great, now lets see some more builds!!
  17. Steve, looks excellent! I have one in the works, finally got a new set of decals so I should have it done soon. I even used the same colors! Very cool!
  18. LOVE IT! I'll definitely be buying one, excellent job and thanks a ton for bringing this kit to light!
