• A question on redish plastic and red paint...I have the Johan '62 Dodge Dart in an orangeish red plastic, and if I paint Temiya red on it, will it still see the bleed thru? Thanks. *NM*
  • What color are planning to paint over it? Are you going to use a primer first?. *NM*
  • Shoot it with Tamiya Pink primer first and you should be good to go. *NM*
• Happy Easter, Everybody! He is Risen! *NM*
  • Yes! he has indeed. *PIC*
  • Hallelujah !! *NM*
    • Our Savior lives! *NM*
  • I watched a History Channel special on crucifixion (sp?) some years back. What an awful way to leave this earth...and to have known it was coming. I remind myself of that regularly. *NM*
    • We cannot IMAGINE the amount of pain Jesus Christ suffered in sacrifice payment of OUR sins... *NM*
  • Happy Easter! *NM*

• Our new truck & camper..
  • Very nice, congratulations! enjoy!! *NM*
  • That's a pretty nice truck there! (and I agree with your front license plate !!!) *NM*
  • That's a sharp looking truck. And your camper looks really nice too. Great vacation package. *NM*
  • I bought a new truck 25 years ago--it's paid for and runs good. Can I ask what a person has to pop for a rig (any make) like this today *NM*
    • Don't faint *PIC*
  • CONGRATS.....ENJOY! *NM*

  • Holy C Rap what a lot of great truck builds! *NM*
• O/T:Messing with the Mustang Pace car...... *PIC*
  • Looks great. Interesting that the '79 was the only year that the door latch was on the bottom. *NM*
    • Probably because the 240Z door handles were there. They were up higher in 1980. *NM*
    • I remember passengers in my Ghia 5.0 complaining about the door handle location, but I actually liked it - alot. Alas most others did not and the location was changed for the '80 and beyond foxes as noted elsewhere in this thread...TB *NM*
      • When my son posted pics on Social we had offers of big bucks for the door handles!!! LOL *NM*
      • I had a '79 Capri for a couple of years, honestly can't remember where the inner handles were on that car *NM*
  • On mine there was a piece of paper under the dash pad that said PACE CAR in green letters. *NM*
    • Read about that...yet to check! *NM*
• From the "Floats my Boat", this guy showed up at the donut shop this morning, never seen this car before. *PIC*
• Went to Circus City model show today in Peru, IN. Was a man there recording the models on the tables. He said the videos would be put up live (?) Said several videos would be on Facebook by time show over. Can some help by posting a link please? I don't know how Facebook. *NM*

• Finally starting to get some color on the square body pickup. , , [PICS]
  • Re: nice *NM*
  • What silver did you use? *NM*
    • Just some generic silver duplicolor acrylic lacquer I got at Canadian Tire. I like to use it for a guide coat as it shows every imperfection I'll have to fix before final paint. *NM* *PIC*
      • Do you airbrush that - or spray right from the can? *NM*
        • Airbrush. *NM*
  • Oh yeah!!!!! I wish I still had my Blazer so they could sit together at CAMS. *NM*
• 67 Galaxie Wagon
  • Purty durn good for how it got there. And a lot of patience for how long you hung on to it! *NM*
  • That's cool. What a great save!!! *NM*
  • That hood must be quite heavy. Takes a hefty piece of wood to hold it up.😎 *NM*
    • Re: Ha that's all i could find *NM*
    • LOL I had the same thought, *NM*
  • Great save and quite the custom wagon. What are the wheels from? *NM*
    • Re: Z - Man wheels I got them from a guy in Detroit *NM*

    • Re: Here are some of my customers' builds of the chopped '32 Ford Tudro sedan body. PICS
  • Beautiful cars Ed. I've a question on the red car, Anyone know the source of the headers? *NM*
    • Re: I do not recall but think they were aftermarket. The build of the red sedan can be found on the MCM forum with more details. There was a '32 Tudor sedan group build going on. *NM*
  • Absolutely gorgeous!!!! *NM*
  • Great Looking Deuces! *NM*
  • Which kit is that made to fit? Thanks. *NM*
    • Re: Sorry for not mentioning it....I just assumed everyone would realize it fits the Revell '32 Tudor sedan kit (recenly reissued) looking at the photos, and clearly not the vintage AMT '32 Tudor from the double kit with the Willys or the Revell Orange Crate. *NM*
      • Will Spotlight be offering it? *NM*
        • Re:Possibly at some point. I have these bodies in stock right now if you don't want to risk missing out on it. *NM*
• If Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth built a Boat PICS
  • Way cool! *NM*
  • That's fantastic! *NM*
  • Now that's cool! *NM*
  • Great concept and execution! *NM*
  • That's very cool! *NM*
  • Clever idea! *NM*
• Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
  • I guess this is GTX Friday. I like 'em. *NM*
  • Re: Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS* Lots of neat stuff, Thanks! *NM*
  • Re: Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
  • Body-color bumper GTX--don't see those very often. Thanks for the Power Wagon, Bill (mebbe somebody will 3D-print one for me...hint, hint, hint...) *NM*
  • Oooooo...black Imperial. *NM*
    • A beauty indeed! Wonder where that pic was taken with that cool vintage railroad 'snowblower' in the background. *NM*
      • That was taken at the final C Body Mopar Gathering, at the Illinois Railroad Museum, in Union, IL... Unfortunately I didn't spend any time walking the grounds to check out the trains. The weather turned from a light drizzle to a steady heavy rain
  • Love the ‘61 Mopars on the train! My favourite pic among a boatload of great pics! *NM*
  • Thanks Bill!! *NM*
• FORMULA ONE FRIDAY
  • Now here's something not normally shown on this board. Really nice build. *NM*
  • I recently bought one of those kits. Looking at yours, I am encouraged that it can turn out really nice! Great job on it! *NM*
  • Great looking F1. *NM*
  • Not into F1, but that's a neat little car. Well done. *NM*
  • Looks great! What scale is it? *NM*
    • 1/20th, Bill *NM*
  • Well done!!! *NM*
  • Neat build! *NM*
  • NICE BUILD!!! I'll play *PIC*
  • Re: FORMULA ONE FRIDAY. Very clean build! Nice build Munchie! *NM*
  • Very clean workmanship *NM*
• 1/43 is not known as a slot car "scale", just to let you know. *NM*
  • Yes , what im meaning is a 1/32 slot car could possibly have a mirrow that would be close in size since they (mirrors size itself) may vary *NM*
• Oh man, I threw those out. *NM*
  • Too bad. I don't recall EVER throwing away an unblemished kit part. *NM*
    • I can’t imagine EVER throwing away an unblemished kit part. I used both caps for my builds after cutting off that piece over the cab.
    • I don’t throw away anything, and that’s precisely why I can’t ever find what I’m looking for… ;) *NM*
      • Mark, I can relate. A few days ago I was looking for a box which contains modeling tools I've had at least 30+ years. Found them right where they've been a LONG WHILE!....PIC INSIDE....
        • Cool! Congrats on the find! I have found the plus side of this, combined with aging (lol), is that I occasionally find models and other stuff that I don’t remember buying, or at least had forgotten them until I saw them again. It’s like Christmas all year long! ;) *NM*
          • Mark, I can also relate to that experience. Have you ever bought a kit you just had to get and then find you already had 2 or 3? *NM*
            • LOL… Oh yeah. I’ve done that with music CDs as well! *NM*
• 56 Ford custom work in progress *PIC*
  • Looking good. Are those seats scratchbuilt? *NM*
    • They’re printed. Crazy huh? *NM*
      • Do you think you'll try an all printed model? *NM*
        • Designing one? Nah. Too many things can go wrong. *NM*
  • I really like the front end treatment! Nice work. *NM*
  • The paint is sooo smooth! *NM*
    • Thanks! I've been working with different air pressures to get it to lay down even better. Now if I could keep dirt out of it I'd be happy. *NM*
• MPC's Pintos are the best. Believe me, I know! :) *NM*
  • LOL… I can’t argue with that! ;) *NM*
• Jones and Derr talk competing for the last GSL Best of Show
  • I can't imagine model building competitively. That would take all the enjoyment out of it for me. *NM*
  • Definitely a different level of building, but the creative output is incredible *NM*
• It's a master class in foil application. Glad you saved it! *NM*
• Mine came today!!!!! thx *NM*
• Great stuff sir...... I've been building several of those in the past few months. Just finishing up on a (my fake version) on a Corvette Streamline. *NM*
  • Look forward to seeing them, personally I have a "Surfer's" car brewing, albeit very slowly on the back burner.
  • .......and there are still 4 decal sets still available for FED in the Slixx catalog. in addition to the Snake and Mongoose cars from Atlantis. *NM*
• Scott Colmer, I sent you an email. A few over the last few days actually. Thanks. *NM*
  • I received it 3an looked at your PICs and responded, *NM*
• Great find, Dave! Looks like sometime in those 6k miles it had a, um, incident with the rh fender :) Just about bought a low mile one myself in about '85; the side decals were still packaged, lying in the back. *NM*
  • Right front fender......
• You are the right owner for the Mustang. Typical dealer shenanigans *NM*
  • THANKS! *NM*
  • Mr Millars' dealership sounds like our local one; a good place to avoid if you're allergic to being skinned :) *NM*
• Love the swoopy Marlin! Thanks for scanning in the article, too. Saved and printed. *NM*
• What jumped out to me was FOUR '67--'68 Chevy C-10 types as push trucks! *NM*
  • BTW, the latest issue of Vintage Truck has a nice story on a restored '69 C-10 in CST trim in it. Got it yesterday at B&N. *PIC*
• Here are some of my customers' builds of the chopped '32 Ford Fordor sedan body. PICS
  • BEAU-TI-FUL stuff.... I have a few sitting on my assembly line and with some luck I can get my posting straighten out soon. *NM*
  • Interesting...I used to own a deuce Fordor...fun car. *NM*
  • Oh man I love those. Especially that first grey one. *NM*
  • Okay, you talked me into it.... I just ordered one from our hosts! 😁 *NM*
    • Glad to hear it! Now if I can just get everyone accustomed to buying my products through Spotlight Hobbies and have less one on one interaction with every single customer (especially on FB) I might be able to offer more than usual as time goes on *NM*
  • Nice stuff. Looking good. *NM*
• The only BMW I've seen on the show was a 7 series 4 door sedan. , , I'm still thinking a Chevy pickup like in the 5th season pic I've seen with a car not seen before. New tool so it could be a low parts kit not based on the new Blazer. I guess we'll see in a few months. *NM*
• Frank LuQue, can't find your email addy, please send me one, as I have some info for you. Thanks. *NM*
  • You have mail Jim... I just noticed that my email address doesn't show up. But you have mail now. *NM*
    • Thanks, I put your email addy into my contacts list. *NM*
