  1. I chose to make the side windows by using two long strips of clear plastic (upper window and lower) and attatched all the pillars and detail to the glass. Saves cutting out a bunch of windows!
  2. Now THAT'S DIFFERENT! I'd like to have a look underneath that truck.
  3. I thought "Excellency" was for the Pope...
  4. Looks like my old Grand Prix! I liked the car, but my girlfriends' 1977 Monte Carlo drove better.
  5. I've got several hundred. It's getting to be 50/50 plastic to resin /3D printed kits. I would have to buy a bigger house to expand further.
  6. I like the project, but what is this "squirrels" reference everyone seems to be using?
  7. While I don't have room for a printer, I spent a few weeks learning a program to create 3D files (I had a knee replaced). In just a few weeks , I was able to draw some parts. With the help of a fellow modeler, some of the drawings were printed, proving they are viable. I am 62, but still willing to learn new things.
  8. Should we change our time system? 24 hours in a day 60 minutes per hour, 60 seconds per minute...messy,messy,messy. Since you can't hear me, this is an attempt at humor. No jerkdom intended.
  9. Same here!
  10. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/132321-post-your-rvs-here/ Just scroll dowm the page...you'll find it.
  11. As an aside, the Demon had the Dodge Dart style front wheel wells, not the Plymouth Duster style. The original Demon kit was wrong on this count.
  12. I see that quite a bit with customs. They are ultra detailed, great paint jobs, and nothing around the windows.
  13. I always make this one, but I have Covid currently. Killing me to miss it, but what can you do?
  14. First off, great job on the kit, looks great! I still think the top of the side window shape is off, BUT: In your pic it looks like a minor reshape would be very easy. Looking at your kit, I don't think it's a deal-breaker either way. I LOVE the fact they gave that big engine air conditioning. I've got a few Olds land yachts that may get that engine. Thanks for sharing!
  15. If I may make a suggestion: One of the frustrations I've had in this area is that the objects are TOO faithfully reproduced. If the wheel cover needs areas painted black, fo instance, I would very much appreciate if those areas had exaggerated depth to aid in painting. I plan to do exactly what you're doing, and I've added this feature to all my drawings. Note the extra depth I've added on this one to allow easier painting: I'm very excited about what you're doing!
  16. I'd need about 10 of them....
  17. I'd definitely look at that one in a showroom, but it doesn't have air conditioning, so let me look at that green one over there. Really, though, nice work on that model...really caught my eye!
  18. My two cents: I only scribe panels that represent something that opens. All the others are filled on real cars and not that deep. I see models where panel lines, say, between the top of the trunk lid and back window, or the front fender caps are scribed as deeply as opening doors. Looks weird to me.
  19. If he builds the Valiant, I'll have the wheel covers:
  20. One of my favorite villians, Hans Gruber.
  21. #1 Die Hard
  22. I redrew it before I saw your reply. Nice to know the lines won't print. My program analyzed the drawing and saw no issues.
