  1. Just need to add the running boards , and a few things to the engine compartment ,and its done
  2. and whoops but after getting over being mad that I broke it , decided to see if I could fix it Getting the resin pieces attached to the body and some primer to check how things are going , yes, its pink primer
  3. Look at the P/E sets that are included with the F12 kit(not resin kit) First things first, remove the rear bumper piece and test fit of the resin piece and started working , and removal of the rear diffuser piece and test fit of the resin piece Here you will see the chassis plate with the brakes attached, now after I took this pic, I did a test of the resin kits wheels and found that the center section of the P/E brakes were not big enough for the resin wheels, so I took them off and was going to use the kits brake rotors, now before I could get them attached, one of them walked off, meaning my little one took it , and I have not found it , so I tired to enlarge the center section of the P/E set, and well, one of the took flight in the garage, I heard it land, but have not been able to locate either, so now I am trying to figure out what I am going to do for brakes rotors . Decided to start work on the engine
  4. The Lexus GS shares the same platform(S-Series) with the Crown, but they are still two different cars, and you right, there is no export of the Crown to the US
  5. Hyundai as of 2012 , the North American plant that Eric point out that is in Alabama, employed 3000 Americans.
  6. I would or could see myself building that kit if I were ever able to get one
  7. That is the problem, but I have never really had that happen before, I think my mistake is not scuffing the body before primer, I have repainted for the third time now , scuffed the entire body this time , so as they say, third time is the charm.
  8. Will be getting it. Just curious, where did you find this at?, I can not find anything related to this.
  9. Coming soon from Aoshima is a 2012 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon Hybrid , two version of the kit are being issued, one is stock, and one 20 inch wheel option kit , June is the listed for the release month As always, you can pre order yours now at your favorite direct from Japan retailer
  10. New pics, May is now listed for the release month
  11. This was brought to my attention , and I have to say, its pretty darn cool, just generally speaking of course
  12. Generally speaking, that would do more then just "irk" me, most important thing is no one was hurt, and the house was not damage
  13. Just a general thought here, but I want to put the engine that is in your Maxima into my Maxima, you have the VQ35DE which depending on what year yours is , I think is rated at 265BHP or 290BHP, I have the VQ30DE-K which is rated at 222BHP, mine is a 2001, and 2002 is when all Maxima's got the VQ35DE engine.
  14. I am not sure if I am ever going to get this one finished, got the body repainted, got the trim repainted, and of course, this time, removing the tape after doing the trim, pulled up some paint/primer , right about the drivers side door, trying to fix it, but its not going so well, so I am thinking about my options, I can try and strip it again, or I can grab the cab from the second kit and paint that one, either way , I am still going to have to repaint and strip at this point I , buy more white paint.
  15. One of my favorite "Bertos" place's was the one that is just west of 43rd Ave on Bell Rd, we use to go there many of times at around 0230 in the morning after cosmic bowling for three hours.
  16. Generally lee speaking, Mexican and me get along, but like I said, Taco Bell, not anymore , same with pizza now, I get heart burn a lot more often now after eating pizza, but it could be that I eat an entire medium thin crust in one seating almost. We only live once that we know of so far, so live life to its fullest, enjoy life to its fullest, no regrets, there is no answer to that, everyone is going have a different opinion on that, but for me, I live for today, not for something that who's know when is going to happen.
  17. I am sort of leaning towards red, I want to try out Tamiya's Pink primer
  18. Adding to list from Greg and Rob , Popo's Fiesta Del Sol Restaurant at 67th Ave and Indian School Rd Only when I want my stomach to be upset , I used to love Taco Bell, but they change their beans, and ever since, the food has not been the same, I no longer eat there very often Costco burgers here, but gotta have bacon on them, or as I like to say, add a little bit of burger to bacon please.
  19. More then I should, but not enough, as they wont build themselves Right now, I have four and half in progress on the to small of bench for them all, and thinking about starting a fifth one
