Question is... will there be anything left of the Chrysler group besides Jeep and Ram come 2021? PLACE YER BETS, GENTLEMEN...

There is not one thing I would change on the side view of the new one. I think it is perfect, and I love how it looks. the question is, will I still think that when I see it from other angles.

Fix it in a few minutes, or wait weeks for a replacement? I think that is an easy decision to make.
I have a Red Baron that is a short shot and missing a headlight, it's a good thing I grafted an airplane fuselage onto the front of it.

This reminds me of this funny thing that happened to me years ago. I used to have a chopped S-10 with hydros. It was pouring rain all day and I was on my way home on a road with a short dip that was notorious for flooding. There was a late model Vette following me. We got to the flooded dip and I slowly entered to water and knew it had to be about 10" deep. I watched in my rearview mirror as the people in the Vette were shocked at how quickly it got so deep and that this idiot was trying to cross it in a lowered mini truck. I waited as long as I felt safe then hit the switches. I had 8" cylinders in the front and 12's in the back. The look on their faces as my lowrider turned into a 4x4 was hilarious. I went abut my way home while they had to back track about 15 miles to get to a road where they could go another route to detour around.

Was there ever decals for the tractor in any of the issues of the kit?
I have a bag kit of the square bodied Lotus that is missing the tires and chrome. I do have the decal sheet and there is nothing for the tractor, unless it had a decal sheet of it's own.

That's very cool Ray. I bet you could make some wild steam punk build out of that.

A 3v wallwart would fix the battery issues.

Hi,
I see. Well turning it down all the way with the compressor on, yields no air coming out of the regulator. So the gauge is and has been since I bought it, sorta broken.
Thanks for the tip. I'll see about replacing it.
Do you know what brand the regulator is?
-
When you turn the regulator all the way down (off), is any air coming out of the regulator? If not it is the gauge, not the regulator that is bad.

Shapeways apparently think they know more about where I live than I do, their site won't accept my zip code.

I have to wonder how aerodynamic those projections (front fenders?) are. Seems to me they would cause drag (which may be the point of them). Doubt they would pass the safety gurus here in North America.
It looks like there might be vents in them.

Each time I have brought finished models to NNL east they have been photographed and published. If you know me, my models are all highly modified and out of the ordinary and fairly detailed. Even though there were many models built better and more accurately than mine, I still got published.
The moral of my short story, if you want to be in a magazine, build something that stands out. As has been already stated, a common model, even if built to perfection, might not catch the photographers eye.

The floor does slide, but only to the back of the box. IIRC it slides forward to be able to close the back and clear the figures.

There might be some mighty disappointed folks if the new owners don' make any changes and maintain the status quo. There won't be anything worthy of nitpicking and second guessing about.
This is the MCM forum, I have faith someone will find something!

The tide car was done in florescent from what I understand. The problem is florescent dye is not lightfast. So if you do this, keep the model out of direct light to keep it from fading.

I took my address off but it still shows up in quotes?
Joe will have to edit his post. If you noticed I did so before posting my reply. I think that would be a good practice for everyone on this site to do.

Joe, would you please edit the address out of the quote for John?

Actually, this is an "Old Wive's" tale. When you compress air, it gets warmed up (did you ever take Physics in HS or College?), and when you release that pressure, it cools way off (Again, did you ever take physics in HS or college?). i don't give a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH what any airbrush/air compressor manufacturer or seller tries to say--a moisture trap needs to be separated, downline from the compressor, period. I have a 30-yr old Binks air compressor, which is connected to a 6' hose to a Binks water trap that I bought way back in 1962 (!), with a hose from there to my airbrush. Not in more than 50 yrs have I had any issue with moisture interfering with my airbrushing, PERIOD, end of statement!You do realize what you just replied in your "smarter than me" attitude is exactly the same thing I said in my original post? In fact I even said I used a 6 foot line from my compressor to the trap, just like you use.

Nice find Pat. I too thought of the Druid Princess when I first saw it. Did you scratch the transparent red frame?
