I was browsing through the truck section and the thread I was reading gave me the option to make a reply post anonymously. There was a blank avatar with window for post just like I was signed in, only I wasn't. Is this something You guys know about?
Thanks for that... They didn't do any retooling to solve the problems with the parts fitting? Once the front suspension is in place, the front cowl won't mate to the chassis, and the engine just won't go into place, period.
Has anyone had any luck building the Coyote X from MPC? I went through a period where I was building cars from my favorite shows. I got lucky (or so I thought) and found a Coyote from the show Hardcastle and McCormick. The darn thing won't go together no matter how much pleading I do. AMT/ERTL released a similar model some years ago. Is it a better kit than the MPC version?
Yea it seems that Doc has written about 17 books and is a very well respected poet and novelist! Those who know him better know that already but I was suprised when I read his Wikipedia.
I just read Doc's wikipedia! I didn't know he was such a respected figure in literature. I guess I'll do more research next time before showing my ignorance! Sorry Doc! and to Keef I didnt think we were allowed to be jerks on here... the thread should prob ask "Do you follow Greggs instructions"!!!
Thanks for setting me straight guys! Im new to the forum and have really just met the man, but he is an amazing builder and i figured he would share the wealth of knowledge
I dont understand the "Really?" I dont know the Doc as well as you guys do, but I thought that was a legitimate question. He has probably written tons and my ignorance is showing. I know he has tons of tutorials on the forum just haven't read them all
Doc, you keep things lite and fun and thats very cool! just a quick question, have you written any books on modeling? If so where could I find a copy? That would be instructions worth a read!
Andy, I recently finished a '66 Batmobile and was so proud of how I thought it was going to turn out that I rushed and glued the frame to the body without routing the exhaust thru the body first. I then had to cut the exhaust apart and run them thru the top. What could have been a clean build turned into something that I'll never be as proud of as I would if I had only double-checked the instructions.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! As far as building, my next project will be an AMT '62 T-bird. As soon as its finished you guys will be the first to know! Again, thanks
Im new to the forum but have been visiting as a guest for a while. there is a pattern I've noticed and that is that you guys turn out AMAZING work! C'mon, a cut-down Willys into a DW? a flying Impala? I realize I'm trying to run with the big dogs just by joining, but maybe I can learn some things here that i'd never learn on my own. thanks for reading and keep up the awesome work!!
Im new here, so you guys be gentle! My next project will be an AMT T-bird. I want to do a 60's style mild custom, lake pipes, cragars, etc... I mainly want to find out if this is a quality kit and how yours turned out. thanks!
