    i dont know if theres any truth to it....but i was told the reason the 71 road runner kit has remained mia is due to licensing issues

    Picked up the Melrose Missle 1965 Plymouth this afternoon from one of our local hobby shops

    Not only do the door handles look great. I am going to steal the idea when the time comes for some of my own classic era cars builds Yours air cooled ? I did some work on one of them few years ago . Very cool car, wood frame rails and all

    After reading this ,,, the 1st thing I thought of is chances are the one complaining is the one car with trunk full of trophies at a car show . Neither of which I have any use for. The 1/1 stuff I do is for paying clients, the models I build for me and me alone

    I just use duplicolor or plastocote engine enamels on all my builds. Sprayed right from the can

    just did that. Thanks . i wasnt awarei could do it

    How about the MPC 1971 Roadrunner kit ? ,,,or maybe the 1972 GMC / Chevrolet pickups been some time since they were last released. I'd buy a few of each

    Outstanding. I assume the sides are decals and top artwork is paint ? if so what colors did you use ,,it looks like it matches the side pretty well

    I haven't seen the Buick, But I do follow the 72 Charger build . Its just sometimes I don't comment. either way, I wouldn't worry about it. Build for yourself not public attention

    I dont do it edit, Unless I am trying to get a point across . Sometimes pictures really ARE worth a thousand words

    I've got this one on the bench now . But I think I painted maybe 10 years ago,,,,give or take a year or 2. I dug it back out here a few weeks ago in hopes to remove another long stalled project into the done display case sooner than later.

    I seem to remember there is/was an Australian version based Holden that is very similar to the newer Camaro that's an El Camino looking thing ?

    My money is on it had the satellite interior.

    This how I've been doing it for the past few years...makes it much easier imo
  15. gtx6970

  16. gtx6970

  17. gtx6970

    Take a handfull of flat sided toothpicks and stick them to self adhesive DA sand paper . Then with a sharp Xacto knife cut them along the sides of the toothpick,,,,'tada' instant miniature sanding files
  19. gtx6970
    More
  20. gtx6970
    These I've bought as is ,,,some as many as 10-12 years ago. a few just in the past couple of years. Some are real nice, others are decent but I cant bring myself to take them apart to restore them . So most likely I'll build my own someday and display them together,,,, someday.
  21. gtx6970
    A few more from my case.All of these I built myself most have been around a while.
  22. gtx6970
    Agreed, but I would care to wager most of those same people don't care it even exists or could afford it if it did . Besides,,,,,The vast majority of these types of builds are nothing more than a styling exercise to show they CAN do it .
  23. gtx6970
    Its a PPG base color that requires a clear top coat . I have I think I have most of a gallon can of PPG enamel reducer , is that ok to use ? I told the guy that mixed it I was using Upol urethane as a clear cote and he didn't say not to use it . weather permitting I would like to paint this body this weekend
  24. gtx6970
    I'll applaud this kind of effort any body - any day. There is a TON of time on a CNC machine to fabricate all that BUT, IMO, the car is dead ugly. Plus they show the car, and they show the engine. but I don't see any thing to show that engine is in that car.
  25. gtx6970
    WOW. But have to ask , is the reason stuff like this is done in brass is due to having to solder the pieces together ,,,,. As opposed to just doing it in aluminum same as the full size piece. ?
