  1. I was just mentioning that it says 2012 on the video
  2. That is fast, and cool looking too
  3. I will see your low 80's and raise you to the low 90's
  4. Mark, the first swap meet of 2013 is coming up this month, it is 23rd of March 830am-130pm
  5. It would be nice to be able to get on one of these
  6. This great news, Looks like I will be buying a lot more paint from you now
  7. Thats the video thats posted on the home page of the website and it saying 2012 http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/
  8. Well looks like I wont being getting this kit now, I am very disappointed by this and Revell, with out the metal axles, I cant roll the car around on floor going vrooom vrooom!
  9. I would love to see that in person, I dont think you could take it all in at one time
  10. No plans for opening doors on this, I am probably going to another one, and that one I would like to open up the doors That is very true, and thankful for that as well , I have had my fill of body work for a little bit
  11. Aoshima finally got this one released, it had a released date of Nov of last year, but kept getting pushed back, it is a concept STI version of the BRZ, the kit tooling is the same as the stock version/wheel option 86/BRZ kits, with a few additional new bits, they include the lower front splitter, a different trunk spoiler, and carbon hood/roof decals. You get both LHD/RHD dash options, and can build for US/EU/Japan versions.
  12. Nice job Bruce, I never built any of the Buick NASCAR kits
  13. These just came, and I didnt know it, but the BMW and Mercedes kits come with P/E sets , and I bought the F12 that has the P/E set included But what didnt come was a kit I bought two weeks ago on Ebay
  14. The Impala kits are not really that detailed, they are about as detailed as a diecast Depending on what year, you can get the decals to do the Tony Stewart car
  15. I do want to get this kit one day, going to be watching, off to a good start
  16. Over all, this is not the a great kit, its full of sink marks, the fit of the parts is not that great, but thats what you get from gets that are from tooling as old as this is from. Got a little bit more done, started working getting the ridge done on the rear, using .15 sheet stock and some putty and started working on the interior , using another piece of .15 sheet stock to cover the ribs on the floor and did the same at the rear, and for the front part, last minute idea, I covered the floor with masking tape, then painted it, it gives the floor a little bit of texture and here is what the interior looks like now, still have clean up to do, but this is it for the detail, as you really wont be able to see this once the interior is in the body and here is a mock up with the back up plan mast in place and it fully erect
  17. Got this yesterday from fellow club member and friend, its a loaner, I have to replace the trailer at a later date
  18. Not taking any sides here, I would have to go back and read 11 pages to figure out what really is being said, but I think one thing, well two things that are being forgotten is this. One, model kits are made for the masses, not for the die hard, rivet counters if you will(I do not mean rivet counter in a bad way) the guys that know vehicles inside and out, or the guys that want perfection in their model kits , (not saying anything is wrong with that). Two, the members here dont make up a even half of the model company's customers , so no one here can speak for all the people out there that are buying model kits that dont spend time on model forums and if they care about if the model kits are perfect in every way So if the masses that are buying the kits dont care if the subjects are 100% perfect, then I dont think the model company's will either, and a handful of guys on a model forum are not going to change anything. If I am wrong, well then I am wrong. Just pointing this out, you can bash me now if you must
  19. Learn something new everyday
