  1. A quick look on Yellowpages.ca shows lots of hobby shops in the Vancouver area, in addition to Michael's.
  2. *shakes the Tower Hobbies magic 8-ball* Future is cloudy, possibly late January 2014...
  3. As a warning, however, the Lonestar's initial instructions were absolute garbage. The subsequent Hudson and Chrysler 300 instructions are great. If you pick up a Lonestar do yourself a favour and download the Revell Germany instructions from their website.
  4. Or you could, y'know, buy directly from Pegasus.
  5. I believe Blue Oval Resin Works had a whole bunch of resin items for this body style truck, including all the different grilles, corrected 8' bed, a 6.5' bed, crew cab, visors, etc etc. No idea if he is still producing these, however.
  6. Not sure if this helps, but I am using Google Chrome with Adblock Plus version 1.6.1 and I don't see any ads.
  7. One ad with a SASE and one with only a mailing address? How old are these?
  8. Visual aids, maybe? Here are all the parts that make up the Odyssey, with two-part hard plastic tires. The only part I am missing appears to be the steering column, but I can make something up pretty easy. It is pretty much a snap-fit. The moment I found out about this kit, I had to have one. I have fond memories of riding around with my uncle on his late-model Odyssey (with full roll cage and Big Red wheels) on the frozen river amongst ice fishing shacks.
  9. Looks like a Mustang AND fits with Ford's corporate design ethic. I like it.
  10. I recently acquired one of my grail kits, the Revell Ridge Runner set with a Ford Courier, trailer, and early-model Honda Odyssey FL250 ATV. I'm excited to build the Odyssey and trailer for use with another tow vehicle, but before I build it I was wondering if there are any resin casters that would be interested in adding the Odyssey (and maybe trailer?) to their inventory? I would ship the parts to you for you to make the molds and afterwards you would ship the original parts back. I might also be interested in a casting or two. Any takers?
  11. The AMT (ex-MPC) engine is pretty good for a representation of a 351M. The only better example you'll find is either the AMT 79 Bronco or the AMT Econoline van (most recently reissued as the Phantom).
  12. In which section of Michaels does one find flocking? I've looked through my local store many times and can't seem to find any...
  13. "...and for the first time an independant rear suspension." This author seems to have forgotten about the 1999-2004 SVT Cobra Mustangs...
  14. The were apparently test shots at the iHobby show but no updates on release date that I've seen so far.
  15. At some point in the cycle the rear window was changed. The blue truck with the BBS wheels has a small back window while the 1995 issue with the red truck has a big back window. I think that issue also has both the stock and drop front axles in it, but only stock wheels.
  16. I LOVED MacGuyver when I was a kid, during its original run. My brother and I would always scoot up to the TV when it was on, I even used to tell the barber I wanted a MacGuyver haircut. For some reason I have yet to buy the DVD sets....someday.
  17. Love the body, could use Coyote power, though.
  18. I'm currently reading Shakespeare's Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope. It's a hoot for someone like me that loves Star Wars and has acted in Shakespeare plays.
  19. Harry, I'm not sure if this forum supports it or even if it is desirable to TPTB, but I have seen other forum software that can leave a link inte original posted location directing folks to the new topic location. Possible?
  20. I don't know, but that front clip looks fibreglass to me. The body shell actually appears to be one piece; I can't see a parting line where a seperate fender should.
  21. Did Ford offer dually beds for dentsides or are they all aftermarket conversions? :I wondered that when watching episodes of Trucks! with Project Super Dually, which has the same fender extensions as this example. The fender extensions look similar to Courier stepside fenders...
  22. I really dislike the prices he sets for all of his parts, but there were times when I've considered paying his prices simply because he was the only source. Thankfully I managed to find parts kits for the bits I was looking for at a fraction of the price.
  23. Hope that Fall Guy didn't set you back too much.
  24. For inspiration look into the GMC V12, which was almost two V6 engines sharing one block. Lots of common components with the V6 engines and I think dual distributors.
