I used to build nothing but NASCAR kits when I was younger, but the lack of new NASCAR kits since Revell stopped , and I never liked the COT, and didnt want to build them in scale. I am very much looking forward to the new NASCAR kits coming , cant wait You know, the Martin in my user name is for Mark Martin

Always liked the Auburns , going back to my kid days and having a Matchbox one I think it was.

Been thinking very strongly about getting that one, I have a Passche VL series , been wanting get a gravity fed A/B , and I hear very good things about it. That is a good deal, I may have to jump on it.

That was Chris Hales, he is C1 Models, its a one man operation, you were to talking to the man himself

I guess I enjoyed building the first one so much, I just could not wait to get started on another one, but this time, I am using a different color for the interior and chassis , the first one I used German Grey, the instructions tell you to use Mr Hobby/Color Burnt Iron, so I ordered a bottle of it, and its on its way from China, guessing the slow boat, and I cant very much tell I get the paint, so starting with body while I wait. And painted Getting started on the decals Completed decal work

Going to give my opinion of the kit now that I have finished it, not withstanding the decal issues, Beemax hit a home run with this kit, so far, two out the three kits( I have four , but on is still in Japan) the chassis was twisted a little bit, and the front bumper was out of shape, both were fixed in under 5 minutes with out the need for warm water. The kit , for what it is(curbside) builds up with out issues, and repentants the subject when finished, its well worth the $25. Its a fun kit to build. Of course, that is all opinion based, your mileage may vary.

Seen a General Lee Challenger few days back

You are right, I could of , not using my photobooth right now, so these are just off the bench, plus, it hides some of my bad work Harry, 1/24th scale. I have a black backdrop, but its sized for my booth and not my work area, so this as dark as I can go

C1 Models is doing a VW CADDY MK1 transkit for the Revell VW kits , set to be released at the end Oct, you can pre order it now for £42 plus shipping( current exchange rate its $64) . Kit includes; resin body (bed floor and tailgate cast separately), working tailgate, rear axle and suspension, fuel tank, spare wheel, clear parts for rear lights and rear glazing, plus interior door cards. There will also be brass rod for the tailgate hinge and underside details [Some parts not pictured]. You can use either of the recent Revel Mk1 Golf kits for this. Some modification is required to the chassis to fit. http://www.c1-models.com/

I will probably end up getting one.

Cool, junk kits on sale.

Seen a bunch of cars on the road today.

Ahh, forgot to post this one, its been finished for a short bit, I must be honest, this kit gave my skills a run for their money, or I just lost all my skill while working on it, not gonna say its a bad kit, I think it was more builder, anyways, at the hands of a much better builder, this a great kit and would awesome when finished.

Aoshima kit, Scale Finishes paint, Toyota Ultramarine. This is the Hybird version of the Toyota Crown Royal.

Here it is , all done

Yesterday , been chasing one for a decent price for awhile.

I have heard the 240 kit can be challenging to build, fit issues if I recall.

What does the trailer have to do with the Sambar Fire truck kit ?, its also 1/32nd scale.

We got our first look at this one last weekend at the All Japan Hobby Show

Getting back to work on this one, the new decal sheet is sooooooooooooooooo much better.

Dean, the decals I had issues with were the of main decal sheet( large sheet), the decal numbers 6 and 7 , and 4/5 when you apply those , you will know , the first sign is they wont come lose from the backing paper after several minutes of being in the water, and they will crack while still on the decal paper, decals 4/5 will crack in when you place it on the body. Short answer, no, you wont know tell you try to apply them

It did sell another kit
