  1. There are actually a good number of these kits out there , Aoshima has a few as well, and there is a newer Land Cruiser as well On topic, nice job so far , looking good
  2. I saw these on SpeedTv a week ago or so, some very nice cars
  3. Welcome to the 21st century guys , been using my phone for the coupons for a awhile now, I just forward the email to it. I have not yet tried using a coupon more then once at a time, but I might try it, now that I have to drive a little further now . You can also do this with Michael coupons
  4. What James said, and I think he hit the nail on the head with that
  5. I guess I am not a true modeler then , for the most part, I dont care if its 24/25th scale, if its something I like, I will build it , I do agree it does make kit bashing a lot more easier.
  6. Same here, we have three swap meets through out the year in my area, plus a few IPMS shows I believe, I try and buy from the swap meets, as a good number of the vendors are club members, and just like you, I buy all the JDM stuff online, and all the Domestic stuff at the shows for the most part
  7. Here is the start of the body mods, I add a strip of styrene to the side of the body on the inside so the bondo has something to stick to , and did the same on the front bumper as well
  8. Sorry to inform you, but you do not get anything for 1000 post , its 5000 post in which you get to have the idea that a gold plated watch is heading your way, or a coffee mug
  9. Very well said Charlie, and I agree 100% with you
  10. Thanks for clearing that right up Dan I guess this is just a , to each his own thing in the modeling world
  11. I have a basic account as well I believe, and I use it to sell, now here are a few things to keep in mind When you start selling on ebay , Paypal can and will hold the funds from the buyer up to 21 days, they will let you have access to the shipping charge, this is for new sellers. As long as your transactions go smoothly and you get positive feed back, you can get the funds sooner then 21 days, also , if you use paypal to print of the postage, and use a tracking number, that will also speed the funds process as well Just a few things that I have learned, and had to deal with, I dont sell a lot on ebay, so I have to deal with this still
  12. Reading response's in the thread about the Cuda, I am kind of surprised that alot of people feel so strongly about the scales , so my question is , why? What about the two scales that makes such a big a deal, now I do feel the same way in some points, like for me, I like semi trucks, or trucks in general to be in 1.24th scale, I dont mind cars being in 1/25th scale. but thats just me, and to quote harry from that thread
  13. Thats one of the nice things about buying Japanese kits, they still have sidewall detail , but with cost of Revell kits already, I would not want to pay $1 more for something that should be on the tires to begin with. But, to 100% honest, I dont really care although that much about the side wall detail, I am more concerned about the correct tire/wheel size,and being accurate .
  14. Been working on the interior, I used flat black and semi gloss black, I shot dull coat over the semi gloss Here is the engine detail almost done and chassis is finished other then the brake rotars , but I am waiting tell the wheels I bought get here before I put them on. And now the not so good update, the paint needed to be wetsanded and polished, everything was going good, but I burned through a few spots, but didnt catch it tell I was polishing and that made it bigger I was going to try and fix the spot, so I masked the body and sprayed that area, well that didnt work, and I left the making tape on too long, so the body was covered with the tape residue . So I am stripping the paint and going to start over Sometimes I just want to give up building models
  15. From a quick google search for SATB remake And DOH remake I am lost for words
  16. Why are they making another DOH movie in the first place, are they enough Chargers left for one more?. This is just stupid, a general lee without a confederate flag on the roof is like well, making another DOH movie
  17. The truck arms, yes I know , but they didnt use a NASCAR style chassis at the rear
  18. That Eleanor kit is from the Master Caster as we call him here, it is worth the money, I got one from Greg, you wont be disappointed at all I guess he has decided to keep making them, I know a while back he said he was done casting Eleanor, but I guess there is still a demand for him to keep casting it.
  19. Not one petty car here , I was 12 I think when he retired , but its nice to see the kings colors though
  20. Nice job mating the rear of a nascar chassis with the truck chassis, looks good
  21. Just a quick google search to find place's to buy it, the cans of primer are selling for $10 and up . Looks like no smuggling is required to get in the states
  22. You will have to buy a set of each, you can get the sets on ebay for about $10 each
  23. This came today, its Aoshima new release of the 2012 Nissan GTR R35, oh yeah!! lol
