[Lets see some mini's]

Here's one that was just for fun.

[Monster truck body material?]

Thanks! That's all I need to know!

[Monster truck body material?]

Does anybody know what 1:1 monster truck bodies are made of? I'm guessing fiberglass or aluminum, but I don't know. Thanks.

[60' Rambler?]

I thought I was the only one old enough to remember that song!

Sam

Nope. "I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn!"

[What's with the Gremlin?]

Ed, the WHOLE 70's waz just a blur to you!!! :lol:

If so, he's not the only one!

[What's with the Gremlin?]

for the "little guy", it looks like AMC didn't do too bad

Heck yeah! They did come up with the AMX. Now that was a nice looking car.

[What's with the Gremlin?]

Huh? i know you were there Ed, but i get the impression from your statements above that maybe you really werent

8 years of production and 600k+ cars built. cult car? maybe now, but it's arguable that the Pacer may have even more of a "cult" following than the Gremlin.

You know what they say, "If you remember the '70s, you weren't there." It's true that the Gremlin looked like any other AMC car with the back end cut off, but the Pacer was one of the strangest car designs ever.

[Lets have a tailgating party]

That looks great. I would definitely tailgate there. But look out for the huge killer Collie!

[2012 POST APOCALYPSE/ZOMBIE HUNTER COMMUNITY BUILD]

like I said it is loosely based on the Dreadnought from Death race the way I see it is it can be a fortress on wheels and a defense against any marauders who try and attack the caravan plus plenty of room for storage with a section left for fuels

PM sent.

[Is this what passes for Pro Built?]

An error in the New York Registry of Deeds has given me title to the Brooklyn Bridge if anyone is interested. .. sell or trade .. send a PM

I have some ocean front real estate near Phoenix, if you don't need a bridge.

[My 2011 finished builds]

I say again, even more emphatically, How do you DO that? Just amazing!

[Heat Shrink Tubing]

Try a soldering iron if you have one. A fairly light touch will shrink the tubing without damaging the plastic underneath. HTH

[Stripping Chrome]

Some guys say it doesn't work for them, but I've had great success with Westley's Bleche Wite. Everything I've tried has been clean and ready to go in 15-20 minutes.

[Has the 70s version of the Ford 300 six ever been done in 1/25?]

Ditto. Here is the EFI version of Ken's engine. I changed the bell housing and transmission, but you can see what the block looks like.

[Dodge purple express]

I got an answer about chrome headlight washes a while back. Check out this thread: http://www.modelcars...=1 It's too bad the pictures aren't there any more, those headlights looked great. Hope that helps, your truck is looking cool!

[Wierd airbrush setup]

Thanks, Bob, I'm still driving the International in the pic.

Thanks, Andy, I will give it a try.

[Wierd airbrush setup]

When I bought my airbrush (Badger 200) many years ago, I only had an unregulated tankless compressor. I got a brass adapter to go from the 1/4" threads on the compressor to the airbrush hose. The airbrush instructions said to drill a #72 hole in that adapter for use with the tankless compressor. That setup worked fine. Now I have a regulated compressor that I typically leave set at 100 psi. I can plug the airbrush and that adapter with the hole in it right into 100 psi and it sprays fine. I'm curious if anyone else has tried this rig, and how it compares to a regulated air supply. (Just to be clear, that tiny hole bleeds air constantly.)

[2012 POST APOCALYPSE/ZOMBIE HUNTER COMMUNITY BUILD]

I've never done a CBP or this type of vehicle, but it sounds really fun, so I'm in with a monster truck. Don't hold your breath, tho, I build sloooooooowww!

[05 Chevy Impala Virginia State Police]

Hey, that looks great. I haven't seen one of those yet. Mostly Crown Vics around here too. I hope the first one I see isn't in my mirror with the lights on!

[1930 Blower Bently]

OK, so it's 1/12 scale, so the parts are bigger and easier to detail. I don't care, I still have to say: How do you do that! I think your real secret is that you've developed a shrink ray. Like all your builds this is absolutely incredible. Thanks for sharing it.

[F150 2wd Shortbox]

Glad to see this one up again, Bill. That engine looks great! The weathering and detail painting is awesome. Interior looks nice too.

[My return to the bench....53 HUDSON]

Totally immaculate! Well done!

[Show us your Engines - Post Dedicated to the Engine]

Ford 4.9L truck engine from Kitchen Table resins, with parts from various F150 kits and scratch built parts.

[Street Hemi Dart]

Looks great! The wheels in the Revell '32 Ford 5 window are close.

[Help, I stripped my paintjob 3 times]

Sometimes craters are caused by silicone contamination. After stripping it 3 times, and since the primer is OK, that is pretty unlikely, but if you're using cleaners or polish that might have silicone in them, it might have gotten into your AB or the paint. It only takes a tiny amount. This is probably not your problem, but something to think about.
