• Saw film 'F1' this weekend.......
• Spotlight Hobbies just got a number of these resin bodies in stock! I won't be making too many more of them. *PICS*
• test *NM*
• I know they were never as highly revered as the musclecars of the day, but I always did like the styling of the Magnum GT. It definitely caught my eye when I was perusing the car mags of the day. *NM*
• Looks like Round 2 is reissueing the MPC snap '75 Blazer soon in Coke livery. , I missed them last time but I'll sure be picking a couple up this time. I've been wanting to get my hands on one to build in a similar style to the pickup I'm currently working on. *NM*
  • That’s good news. I’m unfamiliar with the kit - how are the body proportions? *NM*
    • I haven't actually seen one in person Mark but it looks right to me. Only thing I don't like is the brush bar being one peice with the front bumper. But there's solutions to that. Looks pretty good to me for a '70s era snap kit. *NM*
• Just finished up the GM pickup interior. , , [PICS]
  • Interesting sourcing of the seat. I think the brown actually looks better than the green would have anyways *NM*
  • Tasty *NM*
  • That looks really, really good!! You have an eye for making things look just right! *NM*
  • Your detailed dash, steering column, and steering wheel combo really pops! *NM*
  • Wow! *NM*
  • Also nice woodgrain there! *NM*
  • Awesome job. It all looks great !! *NM*
  • Nice, nice work. Like that seat idea. *NM*
  • Very nice detailing and color choices. *NM*
  • Super nice, Seve! So neat and clean looking. *NM*
• Thanks to David, Frank, Dennis, Mike L, Chipster, and Mark C. for taking the time to look at my PIX and comment. It is very much appreciated. *NM*
• Thanks Bill!! *NM*
• Your build looks great. But that kit is one that I’ve never been able to figure out. It’s essentially bone stock except for the tunnel rammed 427 and wheels. What was Monogram thinking ? *NM*
• Always liked this kit - anyone ever six swap it? *NM*
• Moebius '64 K code Comet box art by Sven's World of Wheels. *NM* *PIC*
  • Nice, had a friend who had a black one, a beater car then *NM*
  • I can feel my wallet getting thinner. *NM*
    • X2!!!!! *NM*
  • Nice, but I like the other one better. *NM*
  • Nice, but I like the other one better. *NM*
    • OOPS....my 'puter is ill. *NM*
  • This should be a nice one. I wonder if the flat hood will be included. Regardless, I’ll be getting one. *NM*
• Your build looks great. But that kit is one that I’ve never been able to figure out. It’s essentially bone stock except for the tunnel rammed 427 and wheels. What was Monogram thinking ? *NM*
  • Stock body with an updated drive train.... Pretty much typical of street rod construction in the mid to late 1970s, when that kit was first issued. *NM*
  • That the rod version would ourself a stock one, just like their Early Iron Series Ford kits *NM*
    • Outsell. Spell check sucks! *NM*
• Sad 😔
  • Is that an actual EV, or is it an AI rendering? *NM*
    • Re: Is that an actual EV, or is it an AI rendering? *LINK*
      • Yeah, they didn't make many and hardly anybody wants/wanted them. 2023, the year when every automaker thought EVs would take over the industry... Sorry! *NM*
  • Not to be confused with an Omni GLH or GLHS *NM*
  • As long as it Goes Like “Heck”, I’m okay with it, though I’ve never been a fan of Ford attaching the Mustang name to an EV SUV. Shelby isn’t here to influence, so that’s a sticking point with me also.
    • I'm a diehard Mustang fan since I saw the first one at the Worlds Fair in 1964. If I were a marketing guy (I was an accountant!), and worked for Ford, and wanted to market EV's, what is the logical way to do that? Market it as a Mustang! Always thought it was a brilliant
      • Oh yeah, clearly it was done to bolster the image of the vehicle to help add appeal to yet another EV SUV/crossover, and It's fine, but to me a Mustang will always be a 2-door coupe/fastback/convertible... just a personal preference.
  • In '86 that Omni GLH-S was one of the quickest cars you could buy at a reasonable price ($11K). 0-60 in 6.5 seconds was pretty quick, and it would do 130 mph top speed. *LINK*
    • Rumor was they weren't for rookies *NM*
  • Awwww.
    • No, Ford actually produced these "Shelbys" in very small quantities. *NM*
  • The Shelby Mach-Es are real. Hertz Rent-a-car supposedly got the first 100 built last year or so. *LINK* *PIC*
• They Called Him Pico Pete
  • Towing power to boot!! Nicely done, Tim! (Both of them!) *NM*
  • Love your stuff.... along with the other truck guys on the board. I don't build them but I appreciate a great build. *NM*
  • I continue to be amazed at your ability to replicate such a wide range of configurations of the big rigs, especially the Peterbuilts. Your photography with real backdrops combined with your models is very skillful, too. Congrats! *NM*
• Really nice! *NM*
• Nice job, the parts swapping and 3d items make a big difference *NM*
• Nice job, and really no need for the extra clear: that's what a lot of the used ones that weren't all TLC'd looked like years later, still nice but driven *NM*
• The '68 Dart drag car is nice, especially since it retains the stock rear wheelwell openings *NM*
  • The (F/SA) NHRA Stock classes limit the tire size. And an un-modified body.
• Was just looking online (I won't say where here) at several Fuselage type Mopars 3D printed. Email me if you want to know where. *NM*
• By an off chance, is there a model show next weekend? *NM*
  • Well, actually there is.....the East Coast Hobby Expo, @ the South Tweed Heads Sports Club, Tweed Heads, NSW Australia....I'm taking a few for display ....its been going for about 10-12 yrs, always a good rollup with models on display & a few vendors. *NM*
    • Well... you have fun. Since there's no direct road there from the United States..... I'm gonna hafta pass on this one. 😁 *NM*
      • Well.....if you change your mind let me know........lol.. *NM*
• Really nice build. Definitely '80s with those wheels. I'll have to remember that when looking for those wheels for myself. *NM*
• Sweet ride! I like your wheel/tire choice. Your build makes me want to build mine that I recently bought. *NM*
• Always a treat when you share your builds. *NM*
• Really great build. Nice not to see it in red. *NM*

• A Grand Safari.. and Long Winded Text Heavy!
  • Correction Edit! I goofed - the text with the description of the builds/parts/who I bought stuff from accidentally got deleted - here's credt where credit is due:
    • Wow, those are all three so cool! Goota love longroofs! *NM*
    • They're all really great. If you don't mind me asking, where did you take the picture of your long roof by the lighthouse? That's a really great shot. *NM*
      • That's the "Wawatam Light house" in St.Ignace with Mackinac Island to the east-southeast (other views)
  • Awesome! Really nice builds. It’s amazing what the 3D print world has offered us so far. Your builds are a testament to this. I’m sure that they were a lot of work, but the end result is worth it! *NM*
  • Great builds! So thankful for 3d printing. Russ Darrow still has a bunch of dealerships here in the Milwaukee area. That ‘78 was a sharp looking wagon. Was the engine a 301? Always heard they had issues. *NM*
    • Russ Darrow had a pretty good size lot on Odana road in Madison back then. I can't remember what engine it had.. it was blue, and ticked. a lot. ha *NM*
  • Love these wagons! They're super. Nicely done. *NM*
    • Thanks! Terry! White with woodgrain rocks! *NM*
