  1. I've got one of the Testors/IMC 48 Fords, and the whitewalls are press on stickers. They actually came out really well and have stayed put so far.
  2. I use brake fluid. doesn't hurt the plastic at all. It's not fast sometimes, but it does the trick. I've also heard of people using bleach.
  3. I'm working on one of mine now; 78 Monte Carlo. And I've got another one in my stash but I have to get a body for it; 69 Dodge A100 series van. Unfortunately I'll never be able to build my current one without a LOT of scratchbuilding. No one makes a kit of a 2009 Malibu.
  4. Looks really good!
  5. Great job so far! Keep it up. I liked the rake on the test fits.
  6. A couple of hours a week typically, by the time I'm done with work, dinner, housework, cats, etc... Like Dr. Cranky said, never enough.
  7. Very nice! Great custom work on that one.
  8. Looking good so far! I need to get another one of these. I had one, way back when, but it went with the rest of my car model collection.
  9. I need to get one of the cadillac kits.
  10. Moar pics!! I like it!
  11. Really nice work! Ive got one of these in my stash and I hope it comes out as well as this.
  12. Tower Hobbies will sell by the case.
  13. I've got one of these in my stash. Looks like it's a pretty nicely detailed kit. I've got some project plans for mine. I'll keep you guys posted.
  14. I like the color. Nice work~!
  15. Very nice! I'm normally not into rust, but this looks REALLY good.
  16. Why can I picture this thing doing a jump, and there's just a spray of parts flying behind it?
  17. Definitely glad to see younger modellers. That means the hobby is surviving. Good work so far. Keep it up!
  18. Mine's more of a passed away than got away. My first car was a 72 Buick Skylark Custom, 2 door hardtop. had a 350-2bbl, automatic slushbox, and a lot of rust. Transmission went out at one point on my way home from Votech, but dad and I replaced the TH350 with a TH400 out of a junkyard GS. Eventually after being battered and worn, it finally wouldn't go like it used to. The frame rusted through, and at one point we jacket it up for something and the passenger door wouldn't open. My parents bought me a 78 Plymouth Volare to replace it. The Buick sat for a while until our neighbor who did some dirt track racing offered me $100 for what was left of it. I actually got it to jumpstart and fire, drove it over to the guys house and parked. It never moved another inch under it's own power after that. The guy had to get one of his wreckers and tow it on up into his yard. The Volare ended up being a zombie that hated me, but that's another story for another time. I WILL have another Skylark one day.
  19. Nice score! Looks like it's complete too.
  20. Kitchen table, then later I worked at desk.
  21. I've got one of the 60 bonnevilles by Trumpeter. It's a nice kit. There's some weirdness in the engine, but once the kit is all together it comes out pretty nice. I'll post pics of mine as soon as I can. I do recommend the PE kit from Model Car Garage. The lettering on the kit is wrong.
  22. It's not necessarily a CNC. It's just a milling machine that operates manually.
