Dave, thanks for taking the time to post the photo's, I think the fit on mine is close to the ones in the pics

Not proude?, really, man I wish I could build as nice as you did with this one, you did a really good job with it. I heard the FXx kit wasnt the best of kits to begin with too.

Its a spare eleanor body I have, no hood, its not a perfect reisn body, thats why it was giving to me with my other eleanor body. So kind of thinking using it

I think I might have come closer to deciding what I am going to build

Wow, freaking awsome job , the engine detailing is great, very nice, the whole build is just very nicely done.

Is it just me or do the first two pics make it look like its a model ?

I agree I like that color,

Warming the can applys to all paint in a spray can, but testors enamels take a little bit of work to get a good finish . Just make sure you turn the can upside and clear the nozzle after each use, or you will get little globs of paint on the body the next time you use it. A sided from getting the can warm, shake the can to , I would keep the can in warm water for at least five minutes

I was going to say something like that, testor enamel spray can be a big pain to work with, you really are better with using Model Master Lacquer spary, its about the same price , but so much better, I like model master spary better then I do tamyia paint.

G , well now that you mention it, I can think of a few people :lol:

That does suck, I feel your pain, but least you hadnt finished it yet

Good start so far, I enjoyed reading the thread he did on the charger kit, speaking of, did Mark Taylor leave the forum?

I have been wondering this as well,

Very impressed, great job, it looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor, what color paint did you use?

Thank you guys for the good advise, I think what I am going to do, is if I hear back from the person is tell what the cost is going to be just for all the supplys needed, and go from there

Thanks guys, I know it would look better if I get off my butt and add the BMF to the trim, but I had so many little things go wrong while finishing it up, like on the right rear photo, I managed to remove a small but noticeable size area of paint off, but it was to late to do anything without have to take apart the body and repaint it.

I found this on another forum, so are there people on here that match all of these :lol: Forum Personalities The Severe Poster This post will post anything, at anytime. Most times the posts he makes contribute very little to the thread. This person equates a lot of posts with accomplishment. Grammar Nazi/Police Every forum has one of these. They will not only go to great lengths to correct simple misspelled words, but will also try and correct it as well. They will venture into the realm of grammar as well. This forum poster is usually dismissed by the forum community as someone with nothing more to contribute than their good spelling. The Big Head This poster knows more about the board than you. This poster knows more about you than you know about yourself at times. Everything on the board is easy to this poster. They tend to have short, one sentence posts which basically boil down to you being a noob and them not being a noob. The Complainer Nothing is good enough for this forum poster. The board is either being moderated too heavily or not heavily enough. They will complain about people on the board, moderators, rules, and anything else they can get their hands on. "Meh" is their reply to any sensible post. The Arguer This forum dweller lives for an argument. They have a snappy comeback for anything that may not be 100% correct. They do not have the ability to understand generalizations, only specifics. The Idiot These types tend to either be very young, very unintelligent, or do not speak the language native to the forum in question. They utilize a lot of it, seldom use punctuation, and are huge fans of the ‘Wall of Text’ method of posting. Mostly ignored, they tend to continue their posting and pay little mind to those who to try to correct them. The Creator This person will actually go out of his/her way to make something original or funny for general forum consumption. This poster can sometimes be mean if their work is met with little appreciation. The Supervisor This poster believes he/she is an unofficial moderator. They will tell people to calm down, not argue, don’t violate forum rules etc. This person tends to treat the forums like a job, because most likely, they do not have a job in real life. They take their forum time very seriously, and won’t tolerate anyone messing it up. Bipolar Poster This is the kind of poster that you can never be friends with. One minute they are cool with you, the next they aren't. The ThreadJacker This person lives for taking a thread off subject. They especially enjoy derailing a serious topic. Some more popular methods of derailment are the posting of lols, ..., 1234567, meh, etc. The Wall This type of poster has always done something more or better than you. If you have a Masters in Physiology, they have a PhD. This is the hardest poster to get along with, they are like talking to a wall. The Troll This is the poster that will post anything to get attention. They will post senseless threads about TV shows that just started 10 minutes ago or about going to sleep. In a Troll's mind, the letter "a" is good enough for a thread. The Idol This is the type of poster that everyone sucks up too. Even if the idol doesn't have a good personality, somehow every will suck up to them and expect you to too. The Groupie This poster usually usually clinches to forum groups or important people. The groupie feels the need to be protected by the companionship of senior members or forum groups. Usually if you insult a groupie, he/she will use everything is his/her power to bring their friends into the conflict. The Insulter The insulter is a poster who has few, if any, friends. They will usually be idols of someone important on the board. This poster will most likely insult another poster for no reason. Although the insulters do a lot of insulting, they rarely receive infractions. Average Joe The average Joe is exactly average. Sometimes combined on two or more personalities, the average Joe usually spends his/her time posting regularly and not doing any more than that. Sometimes joining important debates and sometime spamming, usually the average Joe is the easiest poster to get along with. The Compensator This poster usually feels that he/she must brag about mostly fictional things. They usually have real life issues and feel the need to brag about themselves in some fictional way. The compensator is known to make comments about sexual things or about their ability in sports or education. The Body Guard The body guard is one of the most atrocious posters. They feel the need to defend a poster against the insulter. The body guard will usually make just as bad comments to the insulter as the insulter would make. Although they can sometimes be irritating, the body guard adds balance to the forums and sometimes can help you in a situation. Some body guards may also be called suck-ups or groupies too. The Lurker The Lurker is, if not the most, one of the most mysterious of the posters. He/she will rarely post but instead, read almost every post in the forum. They usually know a lot about the posters and can sometimes be dangerous. Every once in a while the lurker will feel a need to make maybe one to two posts on a subject and then run to hide in the amidst. It is recommended to stay away from lurkers. The Normie Normies are called normies because they are the norm- the average- and the droll. Normies lack the ability to see connections as Weirds can and are often hard to communicate with. They are more prone to start or instigate fights and are more often then not the people who watch and hoot at fights on the street or at school.(Note that if you're a normie, you most likely still belong in another group) The Weirdie Weirds make up a low percentage of the world's population and even lower in America. Weirds are more prone to reason-ability and often have a higher IQ than Normies. Having a higher IQ means that they can see patterns and learn/store information much easier and faster. Weirds make up a large part of the off-topic population and enjoy educated debates. (Note that if you're a weird, you most likely still belong in another group) The Pretender/Wannabe Although The Pretender sounds like someone who pretends to be something, it's a little deeper. The Pretender is a poster who comes in pretending to be a different gender. Such as, a guy pretending to be a girl and making threads that say "Girls Only". They usually have fetishes and are very dangerous posters. Usually, asking a lot of information about you and tracking your every move. This is a very dangerous poster and should be avoided. The Illusion These posters are the Secondary account of another poster, they will post things that they cant post with their other account, or they will post to the threads of their other account that no body replies. The Forgotten These posters are the secondary account of those banned accounts The Mirage These posters are the most mysterious of all others. You can see them as "Currently active users viewing this thread". They wont waste time posting in a certain thread and if you're lucky they will only post 1 liner sentences.

The person who ask that said that he is dissabled , so that makes me not want to charge him a lot, just for kit and the cost of getting all sheet plastic its going to cost well over $100, then having to add shipping of the kit to me, then shipping to him, and its going to add up.

I want to keep the ones that I built, its a good idea, but I use them to remind what I want to differently next time, or remind of where i went wrong, if that makes sense.

Hello guys, well I got a messge on another forum,( not SAE), asking me if I would build him one of the trailers I have sratch built, here is photo of what I am talking about. And he wants me to build him the lonestar to go with it, thats going to be a lot of work, now first off I take it as a big compliment in my work that someone wants me to build one for the them. But at the same I guess you could say I am bit nervous as well, I build for me, and do or dont do things with my builds that I can live with, but I am not sure I can do that for someone else . And then there is the cost, how much to do I charge for all this, I am not doing this to make money, but its a big project that will take a lot of time. Then there is the shipping of built kits , and trying to make sure they arrive in one piece, I know i can do like sub assembly of alot of it. I have not said yes yet, as i want to do another one for myself as well , but for people that have built for other people , do you have any suggestion's ?

I am just happy I was able to help a fellow modeler out.

I forgot about using the 68 kit , I think if I decide to make a another GL, I am going to use the 68, but wait that means I have to get a 69 as well , DOH!!!

Looks like the side windows open up enough to be able to crawl thru , but I think getting a roll bar in there might tough

Chuck, you are right, snaps can great kits, if you spend a little time on it, maybe kit bash,you can make a nice build out of a snaper . people are just stubborn, and if its not a full glue model kit, its not good enough for them

Harry, I agree diecast are models, just a model with a metal body, and sometimes with less detail that a model will have, there should be a diecast section on here. Take for intance the Ford Crown Vic, CVPI body style from 1999-current, I doubt we will ever see it in a kit from, so police car modelers like me, our only choice is going the diecast route, i have , done two. I treat them just like a kit, I take it part, paint everything, add parts to it, them put it back together.
