espo

I remember buying one when they first came out. After looking at the multipart body I put it away. I'll be interested in seeing what you do with this.

Very clean looking setup. Any idea or guess how much air pressure at the window from your fan?

That is almost bad enough to wish I hadn't had my eyes fixed, not really, but this is out of proportion in so many ways.

I would sue for malpractice. How bad did she think she looked before surgery?

Great looking work truck. Nice detailing of the boom and tools in the bed.

Great looking early pioneer type trucks.

Great looking builds. The Talbot Lago is really well done and the pictures in the background make it look like a museum display.

Great looking paint work and I like the stock style on these builds.

First of I hope everything goes well with your heart surgery. I have heard a little about the Lego car kits but have never seen one. Interesting to see something like this, and the way it has been detailed. I like the way they molded the different components and what looks like the Banana power source.

Thanks, I'll go looking this week.

I like the body work on the grey truck. Don't know if that is the direction you're going, but it does look good. Built one a while ago to haul a matching Midget race car and used the Tamiya TS-42 Light Gun Metal and it looks close to this photo. This kit has a lot a great chrome trim for the hood and grill. The grill can be easily set in deeper by grinding down the back side and I think looks better that way.

I would buy this for the boat alone. Is this a new reissue or just old stock?

Glad you liked the Max Wedge Belvedere. I usually build a kit to represent how I would build a 1:1 version of the same thing. The sleeper look is something I just preferer so that's the way I usually build my models. As you pointed out on these models, I'm going to just start making my own axles instead of the ones in the kit.

Thanks Jim. Someone asks for some info sometimes it's hard to know if you're trying to give too much info and make it sound like the person asking the question doesn't know much about what they're doing. I agree with you on the axle issues but in this case, I think they should consider something better. As for fitment on the Belvedere, I think part of the problem was created by the way that I had to recreate the attachment for the rear tires since they were close even with the kit's setup.

Thankyou Larry. Thankyou Bill. Thankyou Phil. Thank Joe. After the surgery I can't believe how much brighter everything is. The Lawman was decaled and cleared before I realized how bad the body painting was, and then I saw these pictures and almost didn't want to post them. I also used the last of my Hemi Orange Testers paint. No touch up here. Thankyou Keith. They are sort of an idea if I was the one owning that car this is what I would have done with it. Thanks Bob, I enjoyed yours as well. I think I described it as being an AMT kit and it is actually the Revell kit, excellent kit with a lot of extras including a Blower set up. Sorry about that. I was trying to put information about each kit as I posted the pictures and just couldn't get back in to post each time. The Chevelle is one I have wanted to do for a long time until I found this resin body. The Belvedere is a really great kit as well and I sort of like the sleeper look. Thanks Tom. I use semi and flat colors on the interior as it tends to look a little more realistic, sort of like a vinyl and cloth combination. The eyesight thing is amazing, and I only have to wear glasses for close work or reading. Thankyou Anton. Thanks Bill. The Belvedere build was stopped for about 60 days while I got my eyes fixed. I'm more of a GM builder, but these Plymouth kits are great looking when done, have a couple more planed for 2023. Thanks Kurt Thanks Steve. As I mentioned to others, everything is just so much brighter, I just didn't realize how bad it was getting. The '59 El Camino has very light body chrome moldings in the casting. I would recommend getting the ones you want to use cut in with a #11 before even removing any flash as it will start to disappear with the first coat of primer. The kits lowest front suspension setting will bring the oil pan really close to the ground. Thanks Chris. Thankyou Carl. Thankyou Joe, I'm glad you liked them. I said the Firebird was an AMT kit and it's actually the Revell kit and it has a couple of build options in the box. I opened the hood intakes and used thew kits Ram Air air cleaner set up.

They are both excellent kits and do also have a few draw backs. This Moebius kit is very detailed, as most of their kits are. The downside is following their sequence of assembly is important. The mounting of the front suspension is fiddly on both, but more so on the Moebius Plymouth. A couple of things to think about on building this kit have to do with the front and rear body parts. This would be the area supporting the grill and headlights and the rear taillight panel and bumper mount. My suggestion would be to install the finished chassis with interior prior to installing these two portions of the body. The models body holds the chassis tightly and glue isn't needed. This being the case you will need to pry the body side apart to get the chassis inserted. With the front and rear body parts glued in place this would keep the body from spreading. Pay close attention to the position of the headlamps and the housings they are glued into. The assigned part numbers seem to be reversed. The "glass" in the kit is great except when you get to the windshield and the rear window. These windows are mounted from the outside of the body which is a problem since the shape and mounting surfaces are different from the shape of the window edges. The body seems to have to many window trim moldings on the body plus another molding on the glass edge based on the google images references online. I used the kits stock rear suspension with the kit's optional wheels and slicks. They just do fit but they are rubbing. My thought is the axels and wheel attachments are poorly designed. The axle is very thin and has a snap joint that has a short plastic tube that fits over it and the wheels are glued to that. One, this little tube is an odd size and easily lost so you have to create your own. Two, The axel is so slender it breaks easily. This kit does have some of the best decals I have had a chance to use. They do require a little extra care when soaking. They seem to release from the paper with only a moment of exposure to water but they seem to hold their shape while working the lettering on the hood and trunk lid. The engine option is the duel cross ram that I used, but the kit also has a single 4 barrel option with a chromed stock air cleaner. You have a set of steel wheels plus a pair of wider wheels for the slicks with a set of dog dish hub caps. The same setup is also there for the nice chromed American style 5 spoke wheels. The tire are excellent with a good tread detailing. This is a little long winded but just trying to give you a heads up on issues I encountered. I would recommend either kit. The Lawman kit would require you to make a header back exhaust system if you're building a street car.

Never realized this kit existed. Got roped into buying one when they first came out. The alimony was worth it to get rid both problems.

Alway liked his humor, but it seems strange coming from his early clean-cut look. The best was his "Stuff" routine.

Great looking body and I like the side decals.

Great looking finishes. Like the themes you come up with.

Got the smooth look perfect. Great looking paint and detailing throughout.

Great looking build, just like the movie car. Detailing on all the roof equipment looks correct.

Looks great. I like the scene on the side and the rear window stickers. The fender flares look good with those wheels and tires.

That is what I meant when I said flipping the rear axle. On the '50 I built a made a drop axle. The front "wishbones" had to be split since the frame was riding on them in the stock location.

I liked the first stance just fine, but this new one is good as well. Did you flip the rear axle and C notch the frame?
