  1. Very nice looking Diamond-REO. Well done.
  2. Some very excellent models there. Thanks for sharing.
  3. If you go to the Pioneer Plastics Website & buy them buy the case, they are actually cheaper.
  4. Unicorns & Pegasus deliver the goods, don't they?
  5. AMT doesn't, but Pioneer Plastics does.
  6. KJ, those K100s are from the guy in Vernon, NY, that delivers pool water aren't they? I see his K100 AeroDyne every so often.
  7. Yes, the C500 grill is shorter that the W900. Also, the C500 has straight frame rails as opposed to the W900 that has the "dip" in the front.
  8. Since you asked, I'll give you my opinion. I'd go with the Gloss Real Orange & the Gloss Deep Blue.
  9. You mean this one: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm40_nov_1996_conve/
  10. Very nice. I like the Millennium Falcon. Well done on both.
  11. Looks like the same old Kenworth wrecker with blue decals instead of red/orange decals.
  12. That I did not know. The transom is looking nice, but I bet it is making you cross-eyed!
  13. That's more than the actual motorcycle I'm looking to buy! Does look like a nice kit, though.
  14. Excellent job! Looks like it's ready to haul them through Canada.
  15. Most people on the upper decks would try to get as high as possible on the hull (in your example go to starboard) and get away from the rigging. If there were any men in the rigging (working sails, fighting tops, etc.) they might jump, but you have to remember most sailors in the Days of Sail couldn't swim, so it was really a choice between two terrifying options: jump into the sea & drown, or stay with the ship & drown. Contemporary accounts say the Vasa sank like a brick (modern translation ), but since the water where she sank was only about 105ft deep, some of the upper masts were still above water so survivors clung to them or the floating debris. Out of a crew of 445, 30 men went down with the ship.
  16. Nice job so far on the stern gilding.
  17. Nice conversion to a C9000, Jesus. I like where this is going. An orange & blue Roadway tractor would be perfect for this conversion. Wonder where you can get the handtruck.
  18. Don't feel too bad, Jarda. We get that message here in the US a lot, too. As soon as the "Legal Beagles" find a video with their copyright they delete the video.
  19. Isn't the Subaru 1/24?
  20. Kenneth, if you don't have the skill set for the HMS Victory, then I can assure you that I definitely do not.
  21. Chuck, while the trailer is nice, I fail to see how it relaye
