  1. I was not able to meet some of you , and I am not sure if I should say this, but I was the one that was in charge of the audio for the show, I was the talking head that took over for Dan doing the raffle prizes. I encountered some technical issues that prevented back ground music that was planned for the show. And those issues delayed the start of the raffle prize drawings, and thanks to Brad for lending his voice and getting it started while I sorted out the issues.
  2. All I can say is any skill and talent I had for building models, was not present at the time of work on this one, I am not sure where it went.
  3. Yes Bill they are, the first run of the kits came with PE endplates, the Hobby Design resin kit also came with a few sets as well, I believe that is where the set I used came from.
  4. Finally finished this one up, had to get a second decal sheet , got hit with the bad luck stick with the decals, overall, not happy with out it turned out, I feel I could of done a better job at .

  9. On the tires, there are three to four tabs(what you are seeing in the photo) on one side of them, I had not removed them yet when I did the mock up shot, but they are gone now. More work on the interior body painted, had some debris in the paint so it has been wet sand and will get another coat
  10. I believe I am handling the announcements this year , pretty sure that wont be a problem, but let me check just to make sure
  11. Figured with what it took to get a correct parts kit, I might as well build it. Paint will be VW blackberry Work on the engine Wheels were painted with Alcald Aluminum and then some dullcote Attention to the interior, getting the seat decals on and completed and after a coat of dullcote to kill the shiny of the decals Completed dash
  12. Yes, Revell AG is doing the 918 , far as I aware, there is no current released date One other thing to keep in mind, a lot of stuff is from the first time around they did it, you can see the submitted date, and a lot say 2014
  13. I do not believe the "Dump" sells models, they are a furniture store.
  14. You gonna do it as a PD vehicle ?
  15. SCS has already done American versions , been out for some time now, they are the following, this next installment does look really good, I have Euro Truck Sim two right now, played all most of the other ones as well. http://www.scssoft.com/18_wheels_of_steel_american_long_haul.php http://www.amazon.com/18-Wheels-Steel-Haulin-Download/dp/B004IK8RY4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1428285229&sr=8-2&keywords=18+wheels+of+steel http://www.amazon.com/Wheels-Steel-Extreme-Trucker-Download/dp/B00AJREB6I/ref=pd_cp_vg_2 http://www.amazon.com/18-Wheels-Steel-Pedal-Metal-PC/dp/B0002BJQOI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1428285302&sr=8-4&keywords=18+wheels+of+steel http://www.amazon.com/18-Wheels-Steel-Convoy-PC/dp/B0009NWPX8/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1428285320&sr=8-12&keywords=18+wheels+of+steel
  16. It looks like Towers is carrying the kits that Aoshima is currently doing runs on, well, a good amount of them.
  17. No one is closing up shop, but if we complain enough, they will close up shop , that is what some people here say
  18. Nice work
  19. It is not hard to find Aoshima kits at all, Hobby Search, Hobby Link Japan, or if you dont want to buy direct from Japan, Tower Hobbies , are you can try M&S Hobbies, local guys, I recommend them, the are very decent priced for being a imported kit seller, or there is always Ebay.
  20. There are a handful of new or modified kits coming Aoshima has the following still to come Two Mclaren F1 GTR Longtail GTR kits, one with Loctite decals, and one Gulf decals, these are just straight reissues with new decals 1988 Countach 5000QV Aventador LP 720-4 50° Anniversario version Sesto Elemento Diablo GT Toyota 86 with the Rocket Bunny Version two body kit Bellkits has the VW Polo Rally kit coming soon and the Ford Escort RS1600 MKI rally Beemax has the Chevy Cruze has already mentioned, and they are also working on Honda EF Civic GR A Ver, a Toyota Celica GR. B Ver, and a MCLAREN MP4-2 1/20. Like James said, we have the Shizuoka in mid-May to look forward to.
  21. I am just curious about something, if "we" meaning this forum make up the 1% of the hobby, why would any company close up shop over 1% of the customer base that voice their concerns with said company's products, just seems really silly to me. But I dont know what I dont know.
  22. I posted that June of this year is the targeted release date.
