Ok... time to play ROM! How about it? Real or model? The answer: MODEL!

Except you forgot to paint the turn signals amber...

White glue is the safest, as it won't hurt the plastic, and if you goof up you can remove the window and wash the glue off with warm water. You can also use clear 2-part epoxy. Epoxy won't hurt the plastic either, and is a lot stronger than white glue. I've also used clear enamel paint as "glue." I tape the glass in place, then flow some clear enamel along the edge of the "glass" with a small brush and let capillary action draw the clear into the joint. But you have to be careful not to get the clear on the glass area where it would be seen. Do NOT use CA (superglue) because it reacts with the clear plastic and forms a whitish haze on it. Also, with superglue you get only one chance. You mess up, you lose. White glue, epoxy or clear enamel will give you the time to make sure the glass is in place properly and allow you to make minor adjustments before the glue dries.

That is too cool! I love it.

I buy Pocher kits, so I'm somewhat familiar with rare kit prices. The most expensive Pochers are somewhere in the $2,000-$3,000 range. IMO, $7500 is way, way past crazy. For any kit, no matter how rare. How he came up with an asking price like that is beyond me. But having said that... we all have heard of potato chips shaped like Richard Nixon or images of the Virgin Mary in a cheese sandwich selling for preposterous amounts on ebay, so who knows??? Like P.T. Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute. And then there's the "more money than brains" crowd that can't be factored out.

Looks pretty good. Just one comment... sand that huge sink mark out of the skinny guy's breastbone.

Hmmmmm... maybe that $7500 price wasn't a typo after all! Well, like I always say, a product is worth whatever a buyer is willing to pay for it. If this guy can get that kind of money for a plastic model kit, more power to him.

ok, they tried running with the scoops backwards... but why??? The whole point is to ram as much air into the opening as possible, which is why you want the opening in the front! Turning it around so that the opening is in the back makes no sense whatsoever.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Obviously a typo...

That turned out real nice! And BTW... your photos look fine, too. Looks like there's nothing wrong with your little 1.3 mp camera...

Me too. Was that some sort of "innovation" back in the day? And if so, what's the idea behind it?

To paraphrase Chandler Bing... Could there BE any more accessories on that car? I've never seen a 4-dr. bug before, that is too cool! Very, very nice work.

I was afraid you guys would see those bolts on the wing! If I was guessing, that would have been the tipoff for me... nobody ever puts that detail on the model... but I figured some of you might think it was a big bucks diecast.

You guys got it again! Final vote 48-15 REAL. And it is! Real, that is. Next ROM coming MONDAY!

Very cool! I like the color combo, different but very nice. A good looking hot rod any way you slice it. Nice headlights, BTW...

Where did you get Bones from?

Just imagine Celine riding that bad boy... destructive and deadly x 2!

Or re-paving a driveway! They did mine, and I never saw a harder working bunch of guys.

Maybe time for some MCM baseball caps???

Nice lame PS work there, Gregg...

As long as there's no rule against it, why not? If a person wants to compete with the same model again in the same contest the next year, that's his business.

Ya gotta quit hanging out in bars...

Hey, whatever happened to the Packard in your sig line? Still in the works?

Does anyone else think that car would make a cool Batmobile? Imagine it in black...
