  1. Pitch Black was not good , eww Nice work. And yes, Patto's decals are all sized for his own slot car bodies, not plastic model kits.
  2. In cased you missed it.
  3. It was a very good 500, there was a lot good racing.
  4. Yeah, lets not talk about that store, that was bad.
  5. He has a small selection , Hobby Bench has a much bigger selection then he does, and staff that is actually friendly. Of course things could of change since the last time I was in there.
  6. Yeah , none of the cars in the movie were Monaco's from 77/78 the GPD cars were , 1978 Ford Fairmont Dodge Diplomat or Plymouth Gran Fury. 1981-1989. 1980 Volare http://www.imcdb.org/movie_96895-Batman.html And the Goon Car's was a Nova http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_16579-Chevrolet-Malibu-1979.html And the Dodge or whatever http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_16572-Dodge-3700-GT-1972.html
  7. Its going to either be Mike's Decals, or Ronnie at Southern Motorsports Hobbies I am guessing this going to sell in the $30 range.
  8. Broken input on one of my subs with 8 days before a gig, lucky there are two inputs, and its still under warranty( known issue, should of been a recall) *release mechanism is faulty which results in stuck cables, the rubber mallet is what broke the input piece.........
  9. Its not an option for the 2019 Ram.....yet, so maybe it didnt work as well as they were hoping. *note, that I could find*
  10. I am very picky who I let work on my vehicles, the dealer I will let, as so far, they have yet to try and rip us off, after each service Nissan sends out a survey and if there is even a hint of dissatisfaction Nissan is on top it. Just don't ask that one to vacuum your car, if they do even bother too, the think just vacuuming the driver's side is good enough. There is one mechanic that I do trust, but he is a one man show and has about a year back up, so it sucks, he won't screw you over, but he is gonna have your car for a long time, so I no longer use him.
  11. Thank you, but I think am going to pass on these, not even a sale can make me want them.
  12. Its very good kit , just misses the mark in a few area's, Aoshima set a bar for their kits, so its kind of shocking to see one that doesn't reach it. But yes, I agree with you are saying.
  13. Yes it is, I hope this is just a oddity and new kits moving forward will back up to what we expect from Aoshima.
  14. Yes, its very old crappy tooling, noting fits like it should, but the biggest issue I found was with the cab/interior bucket/dash/windshield, I had to, or ended up cutting away most of the dash so the interior tub would sit all the up inside the cab.
  15. The reissued kit, meh, its not going win any awards, painted with Scale Finishes Datsun Sky Blue. Ride height was lowered, BMF for the hub caps, did its not 100% finished, there are a few bits I need to add to the engine compartment, and find the spare tire, I misplaced it.
  16. Toyota Probox, this is what is sold for commercial use, painted plain ole boring Silver from Tamiya, now, there are some issues, more on the engineering side, Aoshima miss the marked and this was like building a bad Fujimi kit. The lack of mounting pins or tabs made for a bit of a process getting parts to stay put, the interior door panel pieces just sit right on top of the interior floor , and any attempt at trying to align it makes fall right off. The front seats , no tabs or anything, just right to the floor. The Hood has no mounting points to glue it place, the taillights dont fit great, the windows dont fit great either. With all that said, its a neat kit of a neat little subject.
  17. Very cool
  18. Nope, its normal, builders in the USA think they horribly built model is worth more than a gold bar.
  19. Very nice, one you dont see very often
