Keef Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 You can build any kit you want…..as long as it’s the MPC 67 or 72 GTO. Without any tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Timmy Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Spray paint cans , paintbrushes and airbrushes were never invented... You have to paint everything with your fingers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLMFAA1 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 8 hours ago, bobss396 said: There will be nothing but the Revell Unbuildables. The '56 Ford truck, the OG '31 Woody, '56 Chevy and so on. These kits were a struggle in my younger years. If I broke something... I was up a creek. My Hades on earth as a young builder: Slammed the Ford pick up to the floor, hated the 57 Chevy with all the opening features. Watched the wheels melt into the tires. greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Paint never dries and gloo doesn't, and every time you think you might actually enjoy the next moment, some shrill authoritative voice tells you to change a litterbox or take out the trash. If you love to build box-stock, the only kits you can have are jumbled up messes of cherry-picked leftovers, and if you love to kitbash hot-rods and American customs, all you're allowed to have is one late-model 4 door Asian kit at a time.

Mark Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The only available cement is MPC Notox. Smells like lemon, sticks like...lemon. When disassembling builtups assembled with it, you still get a whiff of lemon upon separating the parts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Tube gloo would ooze from the tips of your fingers, ensuring every model looked like a 3-year-old built it. Edited January 15 by Ace-Garageguy TYPO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Every container of CA would leak, so you'd constantly be glooing your fingers to model parts or up your nose or to your hair...and the "remover" would be a strictly controlled material, unavailable to the masses.

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Brushstrokes would miraculously appear in your airbrushed paintwork, and every rattlecan would clog or spit little pieces of trash, while hordes of insects would land in anything wet and make tracks as they die.

Big John Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 You clear coat your crapy enamel paint job with lacquer, which is all you can get, and then stripping it down the styrene body melts into a gob of goo. And it was the last of those 'find no more' kits that cost you your life savings because you just Had to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
