Lownslow Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) A model is a model why does the material its made with or method of assembly make it any different? Edited July 14, 2012 by Lownslow
Dr. Cranky Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Love the mods! I'm amazed at how easily you work this metal!
martinfan5 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Very nice Edited March 2, 2012 by martinfan5
kruleworld Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 That's an ugly porsche, but your mods make it much nicer.
David G. Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 There are lots of photos, but I don't understand what you're doing. I'm not familiar enough with working on diecast models to know what is being changed or modified and to what end. Thanks, David G.
Matt Bacon Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 I'm not familiar enough with working on diecast models to know what is being changed or modified and to what end. ...it looks like modifying a $120,000 supercar into something lethally undriveable on anything but flat straight roads... ;-P bestest, M.
Jantrix Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Frank, I always love your work so don't take this as a bash, but in my opinion heavy camber just doesn't work in scale. The tire just won't squash down enough to look realistic. I am seriously looking forward to your paint work though.

Lownslow Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 DUE TO MCM JIM CROW LAWS THIS TOPIC WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATED
sjordan2 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) I hope he's making a funny... Yeah, I'd like to know what this is about. Jim Crow laws = official oppression against African-Americans, and unless someone deleted a post we haven't seen, I don't get it. Edited July 10, 2012 by sjordan2
Harry P. Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Yeah, I'd like to know what this is about. Jim Crow laws = official oppression against African-Americans, and unless someone deleted a post we haven't seen, I don't get it. His reference to "Jim Crow" laws is that diecasts are "segregated" into their own category, and he doesn't like it that way. Since modifying diecasts is very different than modifying plastic kits, we decided that a separate diecast section makes sense... both to accommodate the diecast builders and collectors who are forum members, and to avoid "offending" those people who think that diecasts aren't legitimate scale models. He doesn't like the fact that we have a diecast section and that his thread was moved there. It all falls under the category of "You can't please everyone" or "No matter what we do, there will always be someone who's going to complain about it." If he's offended in some way that we have a diecast section, and that his diecast modification thread was moved to the diecast section, and so now he's going to stop posting on the thread to show us all how unhappy he is about that, well... that's his call.
AzTom Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks for clearing that up Harry, I had no idea who the heck Jim Crow was If he gets upset over that and wants to take his toys home, fine ..... although I like what he's doing to the car and would like to see the finish of it. Thank you for the Diecast section!
