  1. You can't go wrong building a Tom Daniels kit , and you've done some nice detailing to this one . Very nice and clean build !
  2. I was talking with a friend last night who wanted to know how big this engine really is . So I thought I'd post a couple of pictures so everyone could see the size of it . The first picture is with my 1/25 Hemi Wagon . This is with a 1/18 scale hemi engine .

    Beautiful ! Your paint gets more impressive every time I see one .
  4. That's neat , but it looks like the same effects that can be done with paint.net , illustrator , etc . . .
  5. Very impressive ! Your amount of detail at this scale is incredible ! Nice job . P.S. - A photo with a quarter would be nice !
  6. No such car is mentioned in any of the Ed Roth books I have . It doesn't mean it never happenned but I doubt it .
  7. The body panels don't fit and it has BF Goodrich T/A Radials on it . Real .
  8. Super detailing ! Another great build .
  9. Wow ! That is nice ! The paint , the tires , and the aggressive stance are perfect . You nailed it !
  10. That's pretty cool . It was worth a click .
  11. Now that is a pretty El Camino ! I wish I had one like it . Very nice job .
  12. And for now I'm using the big block from the corvette kit . They aren't in the photo but even the inner fenders fit really nice ! And finally , here's the underside showing the shortened chassis . It's pretty basic which made it easy to narrow the suspension . You can also see the corvette rocker panels inside of the Metropolitans . This was to locate the chassis and also to mount the sidepipes , using the outer panels as covers . The photo is distorting things , it really isn't twisted like it looks .
  13. Hi everybody ! I haven't posted any pictures yet , but I have been working on my Nash Metropolitan . I've pretty much decided on what I want to do so here it is . I'm using the Revell-o-gram '67 Vette as a donor kit . The complete corvette interior will be used . It almost fits perfectly .
  14. Great start on this one ! Excellent scratch building so far and the engine detailing looks great !
  15. Just checked it out . Having a sample copy is a great idea . You should pin a notice permanently on the forum so new members will always have a chance to see it . After subscribing to several mags for many years , I too have stopped all of them do to economics . I still occasionally pick up MCM at my LHS .
  16. Some spray cans will lose pressure over time and some don't , there is no way of knowing . It leaks from the top of the can where the nozzle is inserted . If a can has never had the nozzle depressed , chances are pretty good it will last a long time . Remember , if pressure leaks out , then air has to leak in to replace it . That means the paint will begin to dry .
  17. I personally like this kit . It's no different that any other Revell kit with all the openings ! Looking forward to seeing this one completed .
  18. Your Little Red Wagon is really nice , and so is the Deora ! The extra detailing really paid off !
  19. That's nice . . . and different . Not sure what I think of the blacked out trim , but you did a great job with it and the paint looks super smooth .
  20. That's a real beauty ! Reminds me of the 1:1 I had new in '77 . Bright red T/A with no screamin chickin on the hood ! I also never liked the honeycomb wheels on them . Yours are a nice change . Is that window tint easy to use ?
  21. Looks good so far . I like the frame finish and the wheels and tires you chose . Who says a rat rod can't have IFS ?
  22. I just spent some time looking at the new home page and I like it . Big improvement over the old one !
  23. Very cool ! Thumbs up on the engine too !
  24. Scale Modeling By Chris has a 1/16 engine detail kit that has all the wires and hoses , plus a MSD Ignition box , a Super Coil , and a Tachometer . Pro-Tech also has lots of detail items for the engine . I've also found some really nice resin wheels on ebay at a decent price .
  25. I'm still laughing ! ! That's Great ! ! I love it ! !
