  1. I dont think I want to know the movement he is talking about
  2. I always liked this paint scheme, back when they were called the rainbow warriors
  3. Mike- you gave me an Idea for the trunk area, thanks for the extra work my friend , I was just going to grind down the speaker ports, but I think I might just do what you said. I was going to use the brakes, but for now I am not sure , it just depends on what wheels I use, None of the wheels I have will fit over them . Well Agent, doing what you said would fit in some area's of Phoenix though , couldnt you have had a better flashback
  4. Well I used the wheels in the frist pic on my ferrari 360, but I think you guys are right that they do look good, so I might just have to order another set. Mike, yes that's the look Iam going for kind of , did you change the wheel wells on the chassis?. Yes I did glue the doors shut, I can not stand scissor on cars other then super sports car Here is where I am at so far I primed the body, did some sanding to remove mold lines, and to see how the door handles look, not 100% happy with them at the moment , and I painted the on piece chassis and here is the interior piece , my next step is to remove the speaker ports
  5. Here is the bullitt with the front repainted and cleared
  6. I remember that paint scheme, very nice, I never got a chance to use a three amigo decal sheet
  7. You have to make a new interior?
  8. Yes I agree some part of it does look real, but put there are a few things that are saying model
  9. Paul- the tires and wheels look really good Michael- looking good, I think it will look good in red Chuck- that sucks, but least you got your money back, I have a few skylines on my wanting to do list , I want to do the skyline KPG C10, i think thats the same kit you were going to do
  10. The door lines look like model lines, meaning no depth to them
  11. Steve , I was wondering where you have been, well hope everything gets better, have safe and merry christmas and new years Edit - here is a little preview of what the 2010 shelby is going to look like
  12. I am going to say model, look at the wheels, they scream model wheels, there is no lug detail that would you see on a real wheel
  13. Got the charger super bee painted, its tamyia chrome yellow, not sure if I am going to do another coat, or just clear coat it Edit- got the chassis painted today
  14. I have seen zero paints being used on a UK forum, and they are very nice paints, and I have thought about using the 2k clear
  15. James, I know it wont be hard at all, I just dont want to have that idea in my head right now, because it sit there and fester then I will have to start building another trailer, which will lead to having to buy another truck, you see where this is heading
  16. No worries, I dont plan on closing this CBP any time soon, there a ton of foreign car kits that I want to build , so just myself I could keep this CBP going for a long time
  17. http://www.bare-meta...Metal-Foil.html It has a turtoial on using a panel line scriber
  18. Very nice, I still dont care for the AMT COT kit yet, but still you did a good job, I love the mountain dew schemes, not just Jr.s but all of them that have been used
  19. Danno how many did you get?, and who is your plastic pusher? Dave Van- I did not know you were a member on here Edit- Danno never mind I just read in the hudson thread how many you bought
  20. Mike, I agree gloss is good, its my friend
  21. It sad to hear about another LHS closing its doors, I know alot of people are against buying online, I want to try and point out a few things that a lot people may not be thinking about . 1. Not everyone has a LHS that is within a reasonable distance to them, so that leaves online the only other way to buy kits. 2. A lot of people dont have a lot money to spend on this hobby, or have to make their hobby money go a little further then others, and when most hobby stores are selling kits at or above MSRP, that makes it hard on some of us. 3. We are in a new era of how products are sold, like it or not, its not going anywhere, in some ways it good, and then on the other side its bad. I do support my LHS, but not for kits, I like to save money if I can, so I find the best deal for the kit I want, who ever is selling it the lowest gets my money. I do buy everything else for my LHS or hobby lobby. I dont always have the time to make a trip to the LHS, so buying online is my other and only option. I think the LHS need to find ways to stay competitive right now, think out side the box maybe, I mean maybe the LHS should offer a online store, or find ways to offer better prices. I dont know the answer, but if the LHS dont find ways to stay competitive, then I think we are going to see alot more LHS closing their doors.
  22. The burn notice charger is getting closer to being finished, I still have some small details to do, I need to make the hood scoop , then BMF
  23. Here is the 69 , still need to BMF, and some small details, I am going to redo the hood, and I think do a wash on the wheels
