Mike, cant let a good parts kit go to waste, paint is looking good my friend, I love how nice MM lacquers shoot out of the can. Yep Wayne, I think thats a very big clue, nothing wrong with doing a modern version anyways.

martinfan5 replied to martinfan5's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It funny really, the only real American cars left are Ford and Chevy, well that are based here . -
Curiosity question
martinfan5 replied to The Modeling Hermit's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have to agree to point, but at the same time, its not as strong as it once was for LHS. I do think its getting better -
Here is an up to date family tree of who owns who in the automobile world, I cant post it here, sorry, you have click on the link, its an interactive map, If I did post here , you wouldn't be able to read anything. You will be surprised as who really owns your favorite car maker, its not like it used be, the line between American and Foreign cars is pretty much gone now. http://www.toomanyca...Rel-Image2.html

and I'm now broke.............
martinfan5 replied to Joe Handley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Congrats on the new car Same out here, you dont see a lot of Neons anymore, I am sure there a few reason why. You do know that Fiat owns 58.5% of Chrysler, so that makes it more of an Italian company then a US company, the UAW owns 41.5% -
It's actually kinda sad.............

Well so far, only one of his threads has got more then one reply in it, I think everyone is doing a good job at ignoring him -

Haha, but by posting this, you are drawing more attention to him -
So then anyone under 5 10 should be ok, and if you are taller, get one with a sun roof , reminds me of one of the Police Academys, where Bubba Smith take's out the front seat in the Honda Civic so he could fit in it :lol:

Airbrush won't shoot metallics
martinfan5 replied to SuperStockAndy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I agree, I have tried a few times to decant MM lacquer and shoot it through my A/B, and I had to strip and redo. What I learned is you have to really thin the MM lacquer to get it to come out nice, well in my case anyways. -

No they haven't, but when they do, goodbye -
Just an observation
martinfan5 replied to Kaleb's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Joshua, I do agree with what you are saying as well, I think we should all be a little more nicer to people on here, but still be helpful at the same, and it shouldnt matter if they are new here or not. Its simple really, we all need to show a little more respect to our fellow modelers on here. -
1/25 Scale Tachometer
martinfan5 replied to Wheels's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Or any round piece of plastic, some spures are big in diameter to be a tach, I have used spure before, and use a gauge decal from a NASCAR gauge set -
James no worries, well when you get around to building it, I hope you come and Join , I am not a big fan of this body style Celica, but I think a body kit will make it look better

Pat, I think this is the first time I have said this, but I agree with what you said, I post my stuff on here, not to get praise , but share with everyone, and if there are ways to better my builds, I hope someone will take the time to tell me in a none you dont know what the heck you are doing way, thats all I ask for. -

martinfan5 replied to Ben's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yea, I know thats why I said it might be a bad Idea to do that to him -
James, you should bring the Celica to my foreign car CBP, I would love have you come join us

Ben, I agree, not trying to be a jerk, so dont take it that way, but I dont think it was a good idea to post this, it has the potential to cause problems, and with the little child running around on the forum tonight, I see it happing very fast tonight.
