Awesome new car reveal by Subaru
martinfan5 replied to Lownslow's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That is very cool, I like, but like some have said, thats more fitting for a super car, or exotic , or something cost a tad bit more, not for a SUV cross over thingy. I liked it, but the reveal was anticlimactic -
GoodGuys Southwest Nationals Model Car Show
martinfan5 replied to Danno's topic in Contests and Shows
I have to say Danno works his rear end off for the show -
Thanks, black it is

Danno, I was going to ask you this in person at the meeting, forgot, then at GG, but wasn't a good time, now I can ask Wayne too, I am using a Jetsonic bar for the Caprice, the siren version, my question is about the top part of the domes, I was under the impression that the top part , middle of the domes were black , but I did a image search and the pics that I could find looking down at the tops showed them to be clear.

Nice job

The not so secret , secret build (police w/ working LEDs)
martinfan5 replied to martinfan5's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Yea, I really like the Lindberg Charger kits, all of them, love the detail, I got the kit from Bernie's house of models , one of my fellow club members got it for me, he knows my cheap ways, so he worked his magic for me, I thank Bernie for helping out with this one. -
The not so secret , secret build (police w/ working LEDs)
martinfan5 replied to martinfan5's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Each LED flashes on its own, so all thats needed is power, the only down side, is there is no sync to them, so sometimes, all the LEDs will flash at the same time. -
The not so secret , secret build (police w/ working LEDs)
martinfan5 replied to martinfan5's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Here are the the light piece's that come with the kit that go on the pushbar, I decided to use them on the rear deck, I also plan on using another set I have on the pushbar with LEDs in them as well as you can see here, the LEDs fit perfectly inside after I cut out the bottom part And here you can see a mock up pic on the rear shelf, note, the LEDs are flashing, I was to capture both at the same time -
The not so secret , secret build (police w/ working LEDs)
martinfan5 replied to martinfan5's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Engine and chassis almost done Here is a video of the lightbar mock up , I have not decided on what style light bar I am going to use, trying to find one that will conceal all the LEDs wires is hard http://youtu.be/XX_HZVJBIKk -
I was trying to do this build as secret build for Dec club theme, well the cat is out of the bag, I have a big mouth sorta speak and had to show part of it what I was working on at this months (Nov) meeting, anyways , the clubs Dec theme is Mopar Musle and lights and siren, so I have been wanting for a while now, do a police car build with working lights, so what better time to do it right?. So got me another Lindberg Dodge Charger police kit, ordered up a bunch of LEDs and set of to make it light up , since this build is already under way, I will catch up with what I have done so far. My goal is to keep everything looking like its kit form, so that is presenting a small challenge, but will get into that later. Here is the first set of LED's , I have a second set on the way

That was just too funny watching Brad K trying to talk to Dave Despain, he is three sheets to wind I know he is the Cup champ, but his PR people or managers or someone needs to cut his ass off lol, this could turn bad real fast for him -

martinfan5 replied to wheaton79chris's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
Very true, but it was only a few months ago that Dodge stated that they are hoping to return in 2014 The head of Dodge SRT program Ralph dont know how to spell his last name is going to be on wind tunnel in the next 15 mins, I will be back after I watch the interview -
Not surprised really, but does not sounds like it was a lot of work to make it fit though

martinfan5 replied to wheaton79chris's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
Yes and no, they did not win the manufacturer championship, Chevy did, but they still are a part of the championship, either way, its great for Dodge, and I hope this seals up the talk about possible return in 2014 -
