  1. At last! Hard to tell from the auto-translated text, but I suppose this will be a curbside? A later "turbo" option with wheel-arch flares would also be nice, but I won't nitpick... Any version of the 2002 is definitely way overdue!
  2. Perfect combination... Love it!
  3. Nice! I especially like the Superbee... Still looks fresh after all the years
  4. Nice color combo... Not normally a car I would be interested in, but you make it very appealing
  5. Amazing! One mean snake!
  6. That is one tasty looking Ford!
  7. Amazing! I like how you scratchbuilt the bench seat from the kit's bucket seats Also, I'm curious how you did the dashboard instruments? Decals or paint? It looks great!
  8. This topic was just reactivated today for the first time since 2013:
  9. Not sure if it's available with English subtitles... I'll let you know if I find it
  10. I couldn't find a trailer with English subs, but no matter... This is a Serbian film called "The Belgrade Phantom", and it's based on true events dating from late summer of 1979, when a bored young man stole a white Porsche 911, belonging to a famous tennis player - one of few such cars in socialist Yugoslavia at the time, only to appear on the streets late at night and taunt the police with his driving... He even started announcing his appearances, anonymously calling them in over the radio, soon becoming a hero among masses who nicknamed him the "Phantom" and started gathering on the sidewalks to cheer him on during his "performances"... Needless to say, he wasn't quite as popular with the authorities, and the police, which seemed largely helpless in even slowing him down, let alone catching him in their patrol cars, had to come up with something fast, before president Tito returned from his visit to Cuba and found this "rebel" mocking his entire regime
  11. This is a famous, short "cinema-verite" film by French Director Claude Lelouch, it's full title is C'etait un rendez-vous... It was in fact filmed using a Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9, with the sound of the director's Ferrari 275 GTB added later... There's good info on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C'était_un_rendez-vous And here's the video itself: Making of video:
  12. First "snowed-in" movie that comes to my mind, apart from obviously The Shining and Fargo, is definitely Misery Then The Thing, if you're into a bit of sci-fi, or A Simple Plan, which is not strictly a "snowed-in" movie but definitely is very snowy - kinda like Fargo More recently, there was Tarantino's Hateful Eight... Not my favorite movie ever, but definitely quite a "snowed-in" mood to it... As for a comedy... I say Groundhog Day.
  13. There are many examples, but "truck" and "lorry" are obvious ones I reckon
  14. Cool ride!
  15. Very impressive work thus far, I really like this project and look forward to more!
  16. I like it, Kerry, perfect match! Some nice NASCAR wheels might suit this build, don't you think? Looking forward to progress
  17. This is likely the nicest build of this kit I've ever seen... Great photos too, most make the model look real!
  18. Thanks for the replies, a shutdown and re-start seem to have fixed the problem. As far as I am concerned, this topic may be moved/deleted.
  19. So, it seems I can reply here, but not to PM's or in my own topic in the trading section... This is frustrating. Anyone know why this is happening???
  20. I've been getting the 404 error all day trying to reply to various posts and PM's... Anyone else with the same problem??
  21. Thanks for the correction... I must have misunderstood.
  22. Same here, and that really was a major disappointment, after all the premature announcements and subsequent delays... So I didn't really get my hopes up about the DB5 this time around, but boy was that short-lived Revell really should reconsider their new models announcement strategy, this is just silly...
  23. Wow! Not quite sure what to make of the Panamera just yet... First thought was, "if it had to be another Porsche, couldn't it have been the new 911?!", but after a while I figured it might be an interesting kit for a bit of a change. As for the DB5... Fingers crossed is all I can say!
  24. Do you still have the hood perhaps? I have one of these kits unbuilt, but the hood is severely warped unfortunately, and I've not had luck finding a replacement
