  1. The video, which runs 2 minutes 40 seconds flat, shows an R/C model of what I think is a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, but may be wrong, grey/silver in color (sorry, cannot estimate scale), with an in-scale snow-plow attached to the front, being operated in a back and forth motion at least a dozen times, on a front yard covered with an estimated inch and a half of snow, successfully clearing a path to the front door of a house. Hope I've helped
  2. That sure is a mean lookin' ride! With such a bright paint-job, however, a touch of darker shade green paint in the panel lines, and some clear-red paint on the rear taillights would make this one just perfect!
  3. That's one very fine looking Shelby I like what you did in the engine bay
  4. It was edited after my comment Apologies if I offended anyone...
  5. "Almost Famous", you mean? Great movie!
  6. Yes! He was hilarious in Big Lebowski... I cracked up at his reaction when Bunny offers Dude her 1000 dollar service
  7. Pretty shocking news! Especially since I had no idea he was a heroin addict... Although, I wouldn't say he is best known for Twister, in which he had a minor role His best known, and possibly best overall performance by far would have to be the best leading actor Academy Award winning portrayal of Truman Capote
  8. Get some spray-paint for the body Painting it with a brush and making it look half decent will be very difficult... As for the selection of other/detail colors, best thing would be to check what the building instructions of each individual kit recommend.
  9. How about plain old, purpose-made modelling putty? I prefer Tamiya products
  10. How did you ever post photos without using an image-hosting website? And I don't understand why the resistance? They are quite simple to use, especially Photobucket
  11. I'm no expert on this topic, but I do believe this is the latest Revell release of the 71 Cuda... http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/instruction_sheetsh/instruction_sheets/revell-5/revell-71-plymouth-/revell-1971-hemi-2.html Only difference to previous editions, that I am aware of, are vinyl roof and probably a new/updated decal sheet There are options in these kits (hoods, wheels etc...), but no updated/more detailed tooling, unfortunately...
  12. Thankfully, he does not ship to Croatia... It would otherwise be hard to resist splurging 30 bucks on that Catalina with "professional" engine wiring and body colored wipers!
  13. Beautiful!
  14. That is a very nice color combo, and the wheels suit it perfectly... Sweet van!
  15. Sweet pickup The color is perfect, and I like the stance and wheels...
  16. Of course, I must also mention Kerry Ingram (DrKerry), whom I just completed a trade with today... Perfect trader!
  17. Since my last posting in this topic I've had great trades with following members: Doug Spencer (Mr mopar), from Canada Jesse Chavez (Daddyfink), from California Both are very generous traders and I would not hesitate to trade again! Many thanks, guys
  18. A Yugo would be sweet As for the Renault, I'll just leave this here... The chassis, engine and transmission are from the 2001 V6 Clio
  19. It's art... http://www.emercedesbenz.com/autos/mercedes-benz/corporate-news/crashed-cars-as-art-exhibit-at-milwaukee-art-museum/
  20. Looks much better with accentuated panel lines, and you did a great job with BMF! Sweet looking car
  21. I really dig the wheels and color combo, but that ride height in the rear seems a bit too low to me, and your exhaust tips could be a tad out of scale (as in HUGE )... But a great job on an otherwise terrible kit
  22. I must see this! Pics, please (I don't see any) I've been hoping for a styrene BMW 2002 in 1/24 or 1/25 scale for many a year now... But, according to Wikipedia, these MiniZ cars are more like 1/27 scale... And not quite sure I understood, but are you making a RC out of it, or will you be building a static display model with full interior and/or engine detail, based off the RC car? Like I said before, some pics would be great Thanks in advance, I'm very curious about this car...
  23. One of the greatest men of our time died yesterday... I would hope a tribute to a personality (not political leader) of his magnitude is appropriate on any public forum, including this one... Rest in peace, Mr. Mandela.
  24. Not just models, but real 1:1 replicas of the "Little Bastard" are also quite popular Like I wrote before... I wonder how long before red Carrera GT owners start blacking out the wheels on their cars...
  25. That grille looks fantastic
