JTalmage Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I know, I know... it's a pruis... A word I do not enjoy even saying and not something I would normally consider building.... but I have a grand idea for it.
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 A Lambo Miura engine in the back seat, right?
JTalmage Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 No.. but wow that's gnarly! I'm thinking something more along the lines of this...
Deano Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Fujimi makes a kit of the Prius. Hobby Link Japan show it as "Out Of Stock" though.
disabled modeler Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe a spare tire for a big 4x4 build...?...LOL...
JTalmage Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe a spare tire for a big 4x4 build...?...LOL...Huh?
disabled modeler Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Huh?Sorry meaning it might be able to fit into the bed of a full size pickup.
disabled modeler Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Sorry I just had to my friend...LOL... if one thinks about it its odd kits like these that get in demand later on as time goes by. be interesting to see your project.
Jon Haigwood Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I thought maybe something along these lines
disabled modeler Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I thought maybe something along these lines That would be WILD..!
goodideas Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Here's 1Google search 1/24 toyota priushttp://www.amazon.com/Fujimi-1-24-Toyota-Prius/dp/B003CFAID4
SSNJim Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) I have a Fujimi Prius G. It's a pretty nice kit of a JDM Prius, typical Japanese kit design. It's curbside with a decent steerable suspension, nicely engraved chassis and separate suspension pieces with polycap wheels. The interior is a bucket with separate seats, right hand drive and decent detail. The body is very nice, with open grilles but no opening panels. All the lights are clear with chrome backs that can be detailed correctly. Window masks are provided, and the door windows are up.As with most of my builds, it's stalled in progress.

unclescott58 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Hey, we're not going to just take your gearhead man card away, but your regular man card too! ? Nah, just kidding. You can do worst. A few years ago I bought Academy's 1/24th scale Opel-Pontiac Le Mans GSE. A local hobby shop had a couple of them sitting on their shelves for years. (In fact the rest maybe still be sitting there.) Sometime the "plain" or "nerd" car can fun to model too.

Just curious.I'm a ship nut.
SSNJim Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 USS Greenling (SSN 614), USS Birmingham (SSN 695) and USS Finback (SSN 670) were my permanent boats. I also rode at various times USS Batfish (SSN 681), USS Tinosa (SSN 606), and USS Sunfish (SSN 649). This was all between 1978 and 1992. Qualified on all but Batfish.
hgbben Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Sorry Jesse but your man card has been pulled
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Sorry Jesse but your man card has been pulled Well....... dang Check your pockets. Seems to me it's not a card makes you a man.
Skip Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 You must be building the Special Edition "Jeff Dunham Baby Blue Prius" complete with yappy Chihuahua!! But he's a manly Chihuahua, too bad the Prius isn't!!! Maybe you could put a little "Walter" in the trunk, so you could say it does run on gas...
unclescott58 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Check your pockets. Seems to me it's not a card makes you a man. You own a Prius you lose that too! Don't you? ?

You spent more time UNDER water than on it!!!! LOL!! You must have been there when they brought the Ohio class boomers on line. Thats about the right time frame.
SSNJim Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Greenling was stationed in New London at State Pier, directly across from Electric Boat. You could see most of the Tridents and 688s being built as you could anywhere on the New London riverfront. As we were pulling out one day, Ohio was returning from her construction sea trials - that is one big boat.
bismarck Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I had a buddy stationed on a sub tender at Holly Loch, Scotland. He used to watch them get under way and count the seconds between the sail going by, till he saw the tail plane pass. He was Thunderstruck at just how BIG that sub was. I think all he had seen up to that point was fast attacks, no boomers.
