  1. Remember, no hints or answers here! PM me with your answer. I need year, make and model. The answer: 2009 Peugeot 407
  2. Woo Hoo! This should be good...
  3. This one and the Aero... two kinds of ugly.
  4. Very nice. I especially like the "ocean blue" one.
  5. ok, now I'm seeing photos!
  6. You posted the photos the wrong way. You need to copy the info in the window next to "IMG Code" in your photobucket album and paste that here.
  7. Oops. You're right Clay, I misread his question.
  8. With that honkin' grille they could call it the Morgan Schnozolla...
  9. There are several on ebay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/1968-Monogram-Garbage-Truck-Kids-Toy-Model-Kit-Art-AD-/260529118502?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 PS: Forum rule-full name in your signature.
  10. Side view and rear 3/4 view... pretty good. Front end... eeeeyoooowww! Major league ugly! That grille is totally out of place.
  11. I never knew about the days of the rubber-band hood hinge...
  12. Final vote: 37 REAL, 10 MODEL. You guys got it, it's REAL!
  13. Not seems to be. Is. Welcome aboard!
  14. No criticism from me! That looks fantastic!
  15. You might want to post this in the "Swap, Trade or Free" section, too...
  16. Brett, that's also what I thought he was getting at. But the "finished product" doesn't look anything like the gauges in your photos, so I guess I'm still in the dark here...
  17. But what is it???
  18. No selling allowed on this site, only "swap, trade or free." (Sorry... "them's the rules")... If you want to sell it, go to emodelcars.com and list it there.
  19. If he added a photo of what the finished product looked like it would make this a whole lot clearer. I think I know what he's doing... but a good tutorial shouldn't require us to guess...
  20. If you click on the picture you get the full size image. But bigger pictures still don't explain what he's trying to do here... at least not to me.
  21. Go to the fabric section of Hobby Lobby (or any crafts store). They have a huge selection of different materials and colors that they sell by the yard. I got some "canvas" for a Mercedes 500K top (it was actually cotton in real life, but looked like 1/8 scale canvas). I bought a small piece (12" piece), cost me about 35 cents! Take a look around and I'm sure you'll find the perfect material to simulate a convertible top in scale. (Remember though... convertible tops don't have much texture, they're pretty smooth. So surgical tape isn't the best idea, because it has too much texture to look like a scale convertible top. Also, some tops are fabric, some are vinyl, depending on what car you're modeling.)
  22. I try to pick a wide variety of models... stock ("Big Scale Beauty" Corvette from last issue), hot rods, customs, competition, etc. My intent is to mix it up as much as I can, and give as many different kinds of subject matter a spot on the cover as possible. If you look back at the previous year or two's worth of covers, you'll find that there are a wide variety of models that made the cover... and that was not an accident. A secondary issue is... what exactly do I have on hand at any given time? We can only feature what gets submitted, and sometimes I'll have a lot of things in one or two categories and none in others. Personally I would like to put a classic on the cover, but aside from Ismael Gonzalez' '33 Chrysler Indy Pace Car from quite a while ago, I haven't gotten anything in that category.
  23. I think some of you guys are missing the boat here. Steve's right, velour doesn't have much "pile" or texture to it, and whatever texture there is would be invisible in scale. The shiny metallic look is what makes velour velour... not a pronounced texture.
