Awesome thank you, been thinking about this a bit and thinking I might try and build a copy of my Berrien rail, I should try to build a couple cages for practice first
-
looks great are you doing fish mouths or notching the tubes where they intersect with main tubes ?? if so what are you using ? what is your glue of choice ??
-
just like a lot of Round 2 stuff, just reissue after reissue of worn out tooling or tooling of kits that never fit together very well in the first place
-
Thanks for the pics I've been wanting to build a kit of a 1/1 that I owned in the 90s and this thread had me second guessing the raised part, that I remembered cause I've seen plenty of generic flat ones as well

Do you think shows like The Walking Dead are for entertainment purposes only ? Those are more educational programs for the near future

nope square on the turbo goes to exhaust manifold or custom built header with a matching square, then from the turbo to the intercooler from the intercooler to the intake, the fresh air the fan blades you see on the front are usually open on race cars and have filters for street cars like the blue car in the pic, usually turbos are located wherever the space is available and the tubing is all custom built around their location
maybe this will help
-
very nice build, I saved on of those for years wanting to do the same till someone came along and wanted it more
-
if you want the blow off valve on this car its right where the two pipes come together at the front of the intake, it blows off the extra boost if the engine doesn't need it or can use it
-
guessing your talking procharger and that style, basically exhaust goes to the hot square side to spin them then to an intercooler then to the intake and a lot of times the fresh air front of the turbo is open but sometimes have an air filter like on street cars

seems to be more and more ads and getting larger all the time

Waltons used it in all the seasons and the show had a big following, could probably be built from all the model A stuff out there but I'm unsure about the wheels

Hmmm I've never thought about trying to make a list and may no be able to there's just so much to choose from, growing up we always had lots of music around, my mother played locally in the 50's with some success but it was all pop or country with a tiny bit of rock n roll of the era thrown in, has a huge collection that we were forbidding to touch but at grandma and grandpas it was a different story they had a stack of records and a cheap player so they let us kids raid that at will, so a lot of classic country, 50s pop and rock was listened to
well at home one Christmas we were gifted a plastic record player with built in speakers and very low output, so the records she no longer wanted would be cast off to either my brother or my self, knowing there had to be better harder music to obtain and not wanting to waste hard earned allowance money I asked the cool kid at school you know the one with a leather jacket and smoking a cig at the corner before school LOL well he said go buy AC/DC Back in Black
well I did and when mom went to work I fired up the forbidden to touch Marantz rack and the big JBLs which still hold up today and was completely blown away, I had to hide the album in the closet and listen when home alone mother would not approve LOL, not metal and not great musicians but guess it will always be my number 1
I'm not sure what happened next it was either Aldo Nova's fantasy or Ozzy's crazy train opening riffs I was hooked for life, while I don't really love Ozzy's voice I absolutely loved Randy Rhoads( just think if he wouldn't have been killed)
started buying everything metal I could from saving allowance, holiday gifts and odd jobs, dang it was tough being a kid cause I was also supporting a BMX and model car addiction, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest all the hair metal stuff Faster Pussycat's Taime Downe has such an unique sound loved Cinderella and Great White with their blues under tones all of it there's hardly a band I didn't listen too
well somehow I was at the mall with mom at national record mart, I was way too old by this time (15-16) to be hanging there with Her, must have been dreaming of getting her to buy me some parachute pants, anyhow got this instead, she just shrugged and said sounds like demented farmer at harvest time I remember laughing she was so clueless to what I was listening to
well at about the same time having a steady high school sweetheart who I'm still with, she was into all the pop music and radio play
ballads you know stuff like Europe, White Lion, sappy radio stuff and I was quickly burned out then heard jungle and was relieved that it wasn't all so bad
I actually listened to this album at least once a week until the past couple years, why ?? I'm not sure why I just really like it
the 90s kinda escaped my attention I didn't really get into Tool, NIN, Rollins and all the others like them there's something I just don't enjoy about it, there are a few exceptions like Pantera, what a screwed up way to die like Dime did
fast forward to early 2000s out plowing snow after midnight an Iced Earth song was playing and I was hooked, Schaffer on guitar and Ripper doing vocals, plus ties to historic events, boom winning combination and I still listen to this quite a bit
well shortly after this I worked with a kids parents that would just kill it playing blues harmonica so I found myself exploring the blues, and was blown away how good some of the guitar driven stuff actually is and figured hey it doesn't sound too tough maybe its time I start playing guitar thinking I could play the blues pretty easy then study Randy Rhoads and some of my other metal guitar heroes, so somehow I bought this first, then all the rest and the KWS library and Buddy Guy and on and on,
2005 our kids went together and bought me my first Guitar for Christmas an inexpensive sunburst squire strat , which I still have and cherish to this day but it started another expensive hobby for me about 20 midrange type guitars, so I have guitars that I play with but still don't consider myself a guitar player

love the little bug the orange and white are naturals together, going send this to my brother who lives in Rocky Top and is an obsessed Vols fan, and doesn't understand my model obsession he's always trying to drag me to a game when were there but I'm not taking a day away from the woods, mountains or lake for that
be careful with your lighting and keep the light over you or in front of the subject and not behind the subject to avoid casting shadows
look and see if your camera has a setting for close up, it really helps on mine

To be realistic, I suspect it will be an existing wagon tool reissued with Coca-Cola decals. Maybe the Nomad, Vega dragster, ‘65 Chevelle or ‘79 Pinto. That would fit the Round 2 script—reissue existing tools w Coca-Cola decals and box art.
personally I don't really care and not wasting time dreaming of an old reissue such as the Buick or a new tool of any type and believe Rob nailed it either the Chevelle or the Pinto

same here for the past few days, don't know or care about my mobile, not going to peek at a small screen
-
some great builds and I really like the owl
-
so sorry to hear, thoughts and prayers to you and your family

not sure about being the best, there's not many offerings in 87-93 Mustangs and they all have their flaws, 1/24 93 Monogram Cobra might be a decent starting point and back date what ever little changes to make a 90, sorry I don't remember the differences anymore, the pony wheels are in the Monogram Mustang convert kit also 1/24, there is a MPC 1/25 Mustang GT but I don't think there are any 1/25 Pony wheels
-
stunning model beautiful paint
-
I have a small one that I bought at an estate sale that was actually marketed as a jewelry cleaner, maybe a pint (16oz) works perfect for AB and small R/C stuff, I see the small ones often at sales for a few bucks
-
I'll be watching for the SP2
-
I just emailed him asking if the dark purple color just looks black or if its just the pic
-
Thanks didn't see those just wish they were more faithful to the originals, maybe if no others are found

yes MPC and Revell both did them in 1/25 scale most are pretty easy to find in the secondary market, Monogram did 1/24 Cobra and GT convert which I mention because its a source for the pony wheels
