According to IIDRN round2models.com is indeed down.

Here's the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, BTW: http://blog.caranddriver.com/jeep-confirms-hellcat-powered-grand-cherokee-to-dealers-reveals-0-60-time/

I have a 1/72 model of a WWII Fiat pickup truck; I can just imagine how tiny this robot thing will be!

A deployable fire fighting robot in 1/72?!

Looks good, Dad!

The potential for building many different options is pretty cool with the new Moebius kit. For this build, I have combined the 4x4 suspension and front crossmember from the AMT 78 F-350 reissue with the AMT 53 F-100 reissue. In these two chassis shots, you can see the 4x4 components in white plastic. The F-350 kit has the transfer case divorced from the transmission with a small drive shaft. I cut off the frame mounting tab and attached the transfer case directly to the transmission. The wheels and tires are from the MPC World War II Jeep. Here is a mock up: I had to make filler panels to go between the outside of the cab and the frame to cover the gap. I also cut down the side steps from another 53 F-100 kit to make the short steps. I also cut out the radiator support. Chassis in primer: Now in color with the bed at an appropriate height. Paint is Krylon Dual True Blue and Ivory.

Oh! I almost forgot about this one:

I'm wondering if someone casts these wheels in resin? They are the 6-bolt, round window wheels used on medium duty trucks, F-600, F-700, C-600, C-700...?

Now this is how I've been wanting to build my Lonestar from the start, but could never find any pictures of such a configuration. Now I can get back on it!

I didn't think there was a car smaller than a Peel P50; I was mistaken!

This is amazing work, Pavel!

Just bought the Moebius '71 F-100, next will probably be the Revell '57 Ford wagon.

My current arrangement, all set up after moving in at the end of May. It is a small room, but not the smallest I've crammed into!

I can verify, but I don't have a picture at the moment.

FYI, there are no Exxon or Mobil stations in Canada; only Esso.

5 - Looks an awful lot like a 66-67 Charger roof. 10 - Studebaker roof, maybe? 12 - Silhouette trailer? 14 - AMT '65 Chevelle wagon/El Camino

Nothing quite like driving in the passing lane and seeing your wheel go by!

From what I've been told, a good thinner for Vallejo paints is glass cleaner (Windex etc).

Monogram has released 1:25 kits under their own brand in the past. IIRC the first one was the 59 Cadillac Eldorado convertible; the 50 Ford F-1 is another.

Looks good, Steve! I'm not feeling those tires, though...

It will be getting a big block, not sure where from yet. Don't really like the kit's engine as it is a bit of a mish-mash. I'm hoping the 440 from a Revell 69 Charger will fit the bill with some updating.

Progress! I've gotten the rear bumper and lower rear quarter panels in place, as well as the driver's side lower body. Apologies for the pictures; it's dark out. I've gone back and filled in the holes for the rearview mirrors as well as levelled out the trunk lid. The donor body had the luggage rack glued on; it will not be going back on. I've also applied my goo on the inside of the body along all the seams, hopefully to fill in the little hairline cracks and add strength. The body is warped a bit; I'm hoping I can work it out.
