  1. Didnt know about that one, cool, and now I fulfilled learning something new for the day
  2. It depends, what I am looking for?
  3. Yep, I have bought I would say I a case of Aoshimas Toyota 86 kits, all the different variation they have done When Lindberg released the Crown Vic Police kit, I bought a case right off the bat, plus I think close to another case over the years, same with Revells Caprice Police kit And back in the NASCAR kit days, I bought more then I count of them too
  4. There is three new decal sheets coming from Shunko Models http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10257386 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10257387 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10257385
  5. Nice start Chuck
  6. Nice job on the paint job Mike, looks good with the lowered ride height
  7. I buy hobby paint still, but I try and use coupons as much as I can for it
  8. JT, Moebius got me the new part in about a week, so props to them , I did have to pay for it, but its was like $3, no biggie to be honest , glad to hear yours doesn't have fit issues on the roof
  9. I would love to get my hands on a few more of the Volvo kits, but not at the stupid prices they are going for . I should of stretched the frame on mine , how is the fit of the cab roof on your kit?
  10. I see your buuny with a pancake on its head, and raise you a bunny with a rocket strapped to its back
  11. Here is the info http://www.thehobbydepot.com/
  12. Nice
  13. I have that as well, I have to finish it, and try an only have two/three on the bench at one time
  14. From 2013, I can count about four that I never finished, one I never got around to getting the parts needed to finish it, plus I didnt like how it was turning out, another one, same, It wasnt turning out how I wanted, and not close to the subject I was trying to replicate, and just lost interest because of that, well for both . Another one, I just flat out made a mess of it, so I didnt want to finish it
  15. I think I know now
  16. So nice , I have this goal of building all the of the Tamiya R34 JGTC cars, I have built one so far
  17. Wow, I take it this was from a LHS, do you have a Hobby Lobby near you ?
  18. And the rear area is almost done, not too happy with it, so it will do for now, I still need to make the doors, but I have to come with a new plan , more on that later And the platform for the viewing area, still need to make the railing for it And here you can see the ladders and step in place And the cut out in the roof, this is where some of the A/C units ride around at And the generator compartment at the front, all chromed up, again, not real happy with it, I may re do it, I am so happy I bought two feet of the chrome stuff
  19. No problem, enjoy building it Alright, time for a trailer update, this is going to long , 18 pics worth, first up, starting working on some of the small details, made the rear steps and the two ladders for the rear, these are to get up to the viewing platform Hinged the exterior cargo doors between the axle's But silly me, I forgot to paint the inside black Getting the exterior painted in its base white coat, can really tell I know Moving along, the ladders painted, and here you can see where they hitch a ride at, only one is in place for the pic The access door from for the front part of the upper deck, you get to this from the lower level steps that go up in the lounge area , tape is just holding it in place so I dont lose it, in real life, its a roll up style panel While looking at pics, I came across a NASCAR team that chose to hang some of there gas cans from the roof, so forgetting what I seen in the pic, and not remembering how I found that pic, I cut some round stock
  20. I can understand why you would, building large scale subjects, I dont think a hobby size can of paint would go very far for larger scale , of course, I am just guessing as I do not build large scale.
  21. Thats funny James, my buddy and his wife and myself have using that ooooo shiny bit for the better part of a decade, and ooooo shiny is his wife to a tee as well
  22. Fake or not, its still cool
  23. Wow, how much was the paint/putty/and paper/ The one place that I know of that sells MM lacquer and putty is Hobby Lobby, and buying three cans of MML and putty comes $26 , $10 for sand paper ?
