Foxer Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) I got a dehydrator finally ..been looking and reading about them for a long time and figured it was time. It has been in almost constant use since arriving ... drying paint and warming the cans. Thanks to all here who guided me towards this unit .. I'm very happy with it! I also got an Arbor Press from Micro Mark, but to use as a pin vice holder for perfectly vertical holes. I'm happy with it but haven't used it for the circular hole pattern on some wheels I need it for. Have to rig up an index to evenly space the holes.

Robberbaron Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) OK, hope I don't get blasted too bad for this one: Had to stop at Wal-Mart to get this and that. Took a stroll down the toy car/diecast aisle like I always do. Almost walked right past these things, then took a closer look. Anyone seen these before? "Adventure Wheels" seems to be a Wal-Mart brand, but the chassis in each of these indicates that they're actually manufactured by "Kidztech Toys". These are actually plastic bodied pullback toys, with flashing LED headlights and sound effects. Windows are totally opaque black plastic, and chassis detail is very shallow, and not prototypically correct. BUT.....to my eyes at least, the bodies are actually very well done as far as proportions and details. Even have clear headlights, driving lights, and clear red taillights. Haven't bothered to scale them, but the Charger sure looks close to 1/25th scale. Silverado seems like it might be 1/24th-ish, maybe even 1/23? Still close enough to be in my ballpark. Aside from the windows and lack of chassis detail, the Silverado has incorrect 8-lug wheels, but they do have a very nice Chevy bowtie tampo on the center, and decent looking rubber tires. Could look nice swapped onto something more appropriate. If I ever do anything with this one, probably would be a rim swap and drop it all the way to the ground to hide the chassis. Paint is a must to hide the awful metallic red plastic it's molded in. The Charger immediately looks 100% better after you peel off the awful police stickers. The spoiler and oversized push bar are rubbery plastic, and will need to go, too. The grille element sticks out too far, but it looks like a separate piece that just needs to be recessed in a little further. I'm picturing ditching the junk lightbar and giving it an all black repaint for that unmarked look. Just try to think of them as slammers. I believe there's a Motormax diecast of the 2011-2014 Charger, but I'm thinking this is the only thing in plastic. Don't think there's any other version of the 2007-2013 Silverado out there. Hey, they're far from perfect, but they're frickin' toys! What do you expect for $4.97 each? Edited August 5, 2015 by Robberbaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
