  1. I dont think you could ship that model in a USPS flat rate box That is cool
  2. I got to pay for a couple of new releases
  3. Nice job
  4. What I find sad is One, I get kits shipped from Japan for $14 Two, the difference in shipping cost for a model kit, I see shipping range for $6 and up , all for the normal size model box I seem to care more about the shipping cost then I do the cost of the kit
  5. Small update here, got the dash done, need to clean up a few spots first, and got the wheels painted, I used semi gloss black, I am going to try and highlight the lugnuts
  6. Engine is almost done Started working on the interior and working the chassis
  7. Started decaling the body then I remembered I need to paint the inside black , so I am not sure how I am going to go about getting it painting, I guess I could brush paint it, or clear coat the body then mask it off and spray paint it'
  8. Here is the Tamiya version of the FT-86, and this is what I am calling the Grand Tursimo 5 version, I was trying to make it like I have one in the game, the body mods were done using bondo, paint is Model Master Chrysler Yellow Lacquer. I replace the front grill piece with mesh screen, overall I am not all that happy it, I could not get the trim lines painted straight, not matter what I did. I am not sure it you can tell, but the hood has carbon fiber on it. The wheels are Fujimi wheels This is what I was trying to do
  9. Thank you guys, I am on my way to getting them all done, only four more to do
  10. Be hearing about this for awhile now, its nice, but nothing to get overly excited about, but I am not a vette guy, I am sure the will be drooling over this one
  11. Looks good
  12. And thats the bottom line, I know a lot of this has to do with the upcoming contract for the MLB, and that FOX wants a bigger part of it. But the thing that I dont understand, is FOX is also rumored to be wanting a bigger part of the NASCAR race's in 2014, so the only thing that people are coming up with is that FOX will move Speed programming to Fuel Tv. It pains me to say this , but I wont miss Speed if it does go all sports, it hasnt been good since the days of speedvision, I hope all the other series of motorsports finds a TV deal somewhere, I enjoy watching them as well Casey, the NBC sports network is going, NBC re-branded the versus network
  13. I would love to see that Olds kitted, then I could have a model of one of my past cars, I had an 84 olds, I really liked that car, I had fun trying to get the wire hubcaps to come off I remember the first days of owning it, I paid $1500 for it, and 24 hours later, took a road trip to Vegas and just past the state line, got tickets totaling little over $900, all because the speedo didnt work
  14. At this point the rumors of Speed going to a all sports network is looking be 100% true http://dalyplanet.blogspot.com/2012/09/nascars-version-of-waiting-for-godot.html
  15. Looking forward to spending some money, not as much as planned, darn ebay
  16. Great job
  17. Here is the car Cole Trickle( Tom Crusie) drove in the last race in the movie, paint is Krylon gloss black and Tamiya light green , decals are from powerslide
  18. They also air that stuff of F/X, and a few months back, one of the big soccer games was on over 20 cable networks, including all of the FOX own networks minus the news netwrok
  19. The paint arrived today but I click on the wrong color, so now I have to wait to get the right color, and Scale Finishe's only ships fridays. The funny thing is the color I got was the same color I bought from him in person at the show we had here this year
  20. It needs more dents , good job
  21. There is no way those markings would look half as good on the Impala
  22. This one is now finished, I will get pics posted soon
  23. Good point, I really dont want to be called Jr. for many reason's So I had a duh moment, I painted the chassis the wrong color, the kodak cars had black chassis not gray, so instead of painting over a perfectly good gray painted chassis, I switching chassis with a lumina kit out of the stash so I can paint this one black
  24. I would love to have a kit of the Juke-R
