GeeBee Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Another one ...... I think I'll do a little more detail work when I build this one .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The AMT 57 TBird has all the custom parts and decent chrome and I got it at a good price. The two resin customs were done by RMR and are very good quality. The Tbird version is an “interpretation” of the Italien custom car. I’m debating whether to replicate that or do a unique custom. Bob’s paints had several new colors there that I decided would look good at some upcoming builds. The Brandywine may see itself on the RoG Ferrari SA Aperta rather than use a Ferrari color. Ferrari’s can be custom painted and I think the Aperta can benefit from this color. However, there is still time to make another color choice.

jrherald420 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I didn't know Michaels would let you use a coupon on clearanced items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I went into Michaels this past week with both a 50% and a 40% off coupon. I don't really need any more kits, but I look anyway. I could use a second '50 Olds but they didn't have any. All the kits marked "Clearance" on the shelf were cleaned out so someone around here is buying models. When that happens I buy one supply item like a bottle of Zap-a-gap glue or this week, Testors Dullcote at half price. I saw a lady buying a $50 cutting board for scrap booking, so I gave her the 40% off coupon. She was very happy. Kinda made my day to do that.

Erik Smith Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 This one of those kits that I always wanted but not enough to pay big money for...but, excessive eBay trolling paid off... A very nice box and it's all there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 What's with the ignition wire from England, Joshua? They make something special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) What's with the ignition wire from England, Joshua? They make something special? Maybe it's a replica of Lucas wiring, but does it have in-scale wiring smoke? http://www3.telus.net/bc_triumph_registry/smoke.htm Pretty funny reading on Lucas wiring...http://www.peizhang.com/forfun/forfun_writings_smoke.htm Edited February 26, 2013 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It's actually for Xbox play station modding. Aka kynar wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Kynar wire. Good stuff. I get mine from Ping Fong on ebay. It's much cheaper than the model car aftermarket places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 That's why I got these. They were the cheapest I found. Plus I get ten meters, and they allowed me to divide the color up. 2 meters apiece except the blue and red at 1 meter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrherald420 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 .WAY TO GO REVELL!...WHY DO I NEED ANOTHER SHEET JUST FOR ONE DECAL?? Same reason they will send a whole parts tree for 1 or 2 small parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I never got a whole parts tree. I only got the parts I needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrherald420 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've got the whole chrome tree for one bad part twice, one cracked windshield got me all the glass and headlights and a busted windshield pillar got a new body and hood. Guess its hit and miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I suspect having a decal sheet with just one decal missing off of it, in hope it could be chopped apart to fill potential replacement orders in the future is just as "wasteful" as sending you an entire new sheet.

Draggon Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The Lucas comments were pretty funny, but I have to tell you, my wife had a Spitfire, and its all true. I bought a second Spitfire just to keep the first one running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
