I bought 5 of each. also bought a few of the Little red wagons ( they don't have many of them ) May go back and get more tomorrow nite They also had a bunch of the ford crown vic police cars , Yellow Chargers. etc etc. Plus a bunch of military stuff , tanks , planes , some ships that was of zero interest to me I did buy one of the black beard sailing ships ( its was cheap enough ) -

Revenge is Mine!
gtx6970 replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yep, same here.,,,I refuse got caught up in the feeding frenzy called Ebay . A few months back I was after a builder 1959 Fury kit. I bid my max $125 ( I already knew its not a cheap one to find ) at the last minute and got the message you been outbid. I watched it sell for over double that.,,,yes for a builtup Over the next few weeks, a few more come on,,,same deal sold for more than my max . Then one day a vendor I have dealt with a few times lists one. Looks pretty nice and clean builtup in the box. I got it for right at $130 delivered to my door. postage and all. -

gtx6970 replied to gtx6970's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models

Hayden Proffittt - 1964 Plymouth decals ?
gtx6970 replied to gtx6970's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Well, I heard back from Dave at MCW. He no longer has the decals to the 64 car. ( even when I he had them they were sold with a resin sedan body only ) He does have some to do the 1963 car ( very similar ) But sadly will ONLY sell with one of his resin bodies So the search continues , I want to do the Hayden Proffitt 1964 Max wedge car using the Lindberg 64 Plymouth hardtop -

I tried a clear blue over the pearl and didn't like the look. It lost all the pearl effect. SO I painted it what it looks like in the few color pictures I have or could find of the car, pearl white. I know film bleaches some colors out. But in my spoon test the clear blue over pearl white didn't work so well ,,,at least not for me. To me it made it look like a plain dirty white .. and in the trash can the spoon went . As far as the the better version, this versus the Batmobile? Its a no brainer. The Batmobile wins every time. But it has nothing to do with over all design. Its because its was Batmans ride But to be honest I like them both ,,,a lot . and feel the Futura was one of if not THE BEST design study / show car of its time . But then I think some of the earlier / late 40s show cars were pretty nice as well.

Anyone know if the decals to do this car are avail ?

I think its the color. I had a heck of a time getting my phone camera to focus on it. Its most definitely a pearl white in person. If it ever quits raining around here,,,I'll get it outside and try to use my actual camera on it in natural light. ( after It dries up enough to mow my grass)

Well, I can say I've managed to get another one out of the unfinished pile and into the display case,,,finished. One of the re-issues from several years ago. Lots of waves and sink marks in the body needed work . Painted in Tamiya pure white,, followed by Testors white lightning, then 3 coats of Testors wet look clear. Its not perfect by any means.But overall I'm happy with it. I've wanted one done and in my case for many years. Comments or criticisms more than welcome, I'm a big boy and can take it . Thanks for looking in
