  1. The ones on ebay are the first issue of the kit
  2. Thank you guys Bob, yes sir its going to get clear coated, I am looking forward to seeing the paint once it has been cleared Curtis, that is the one thing I am not looking forward too, do you have a tip for masking them? Tom, I think everyone at some point in their lives owned a beetle , its funny, out of all the cars my parents owned when I was kid, its my dads 74/75 beetle that I remember the most
  3. Very nice, love the color combo you did
  4. I know you have all been waiting for me to reveal the color, I decided to try Ford midnite blue I did the wheels body color Thats all for now, I have few spots on the inside body parts that need another light coat , then I will let the paint cure then mask and do the the interior colors, and I cant wait to get the clear on the body to see this color come to life
  5. Nice, I like it
  6. If we the automobile modelers did not nitpick and complain about what the model manufactures did not get right, we have a lot more inaccurate kits out there, to a point they do listen to us, and by us throwing fits like little spoiled kids over things, we get better kits in return, well, for the most part. I ask you this, do you really want to see just how accurate model kits would be if we did not care?, I know I sure as heck dont Remember, they are in the business to make money,and the less they can spend on tooling/R&D and so on, the more that goes into their pockets, and if they know they can get away with it, they will.
  7. I noticed that too, and I sure am hoping that its just added for the table and not molded in place
  8. Time to get started on this one, this for Mays club theme, and I bet you cant guess what it is :headscratch: , building the Tamiya kit, dont get to excited, is going to be a box stock build , I love the stock beetles look. Both my parents had bugs, I only know of my Moms bug from the pics she took after my half brother and his friend rolled it over, but I remember my dads 1974 bug, enough of the blah blah blah , time for a pic :grin: Started work on the motor Engine is now almost finished, it will be finished later on in the build when I get to those steps, but for now and body in primer, almost ready for some color
  9. I have , or say still want to polish the bare plastic on a kit body If I remember, werent a lot of the Stuff from Revellogram from the early 90s have polish molds, I seem to remember the Pontiac Grand Prix/ Tbird kits having a somewhat shiny look to them
  10. Isnt that the point of pink primer, to give the right shade of red?, but I guess since its a subject of something that is past the 70's , it doesn't deserve to have the right shade on it
  11. And whats wrong with that?
  12. Glad you had a good time
  13. I like that Fred, that is cool
  14. It is very hard to not make a joke about paint and racks, I am really trying
  15. Looks like my wallet is going to be a little better off, although I do kind of like the surf buggy kit
  16. Wow Geoff, great job so far
  17. Here are some more pics Here are some I manage to find the time to take Here is Scale Finishes table , I could of spent soooooooooo much money there
  18. Mark, congrats on all the hardware you took home, and it was a pleasure to meet you, sorry I was in rush and had to leave and couldn't talk to you for a little bit longer
  19. Here is my haul from Desert Scale Classic today, I bought the Aston Kit from AzTom from here, thank you Tom I bought more paint from Scale Finishes then kits first the kits, I paid $10 for the 510 , sealed, paid $16 for the Aston, and $20 for the Mitsu and my paint haul, now, the bottom of clear was free, very nice of Scale Finishes to give it to me for free to try out
  20. Ray, I hear you, it does suck, hope you can make out early, and just in case you do, here is a link containing the info for the club meeting http://www.moonlightmodelers.com/meetingdirections.html Tom, we will see you tomorrow
  21. Same here, I for the most part buy new release's( US kits only) from Tower Hobbies and use their free shipping offers, or I can buy from our local plastic pusher as well
