Attaching Window 'Glass"?
Ok, Guys- I've never really gotten the hang of attaching glass to bodies. What product can I use that's durable, readily available and has an "oops" factor if I foul up? Lots of interesting craft glues at Walmart, do any work well for auto models?
Fiat 500X Crossover launching in 2013 - report
It will become the fourth model of the series, joining the 500 three-door hatchback, 500 Abarth, 500C Convertible and the 500L four door hatchback.
AMT 76 GREMLIN
Today I aquired my fourth, count em FOUR, Gremlin and the chassis is so badly warped it is unbuildable. Now to clear this up all four chassis are and were the same, UNBUILDABLE. Is this a common problem or do I just have the worst luck? AMT told me to return the model for a exchange. Did that 3 times and all the same. Not a very good start for their new original art series.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is back in action after short delays in production
 |
Problem solved! Just one week after the production of the new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was put on hold, Chevrolet has announced that the hold has been lifted and the problem has been solved.
Initially, the Camaro ZL1 had to be recalled due to some potential issues that were not provided to the public. The company stopped the production and deliveries of the muscle car and even asked the one person who had taken delivery of their ride to bring it back. Chevy’s thought on the matter was that it was better to prevent than to heal, so they decided that all of the vehicle should go back to the production plant to have the problem solved. They were even able to do it under their timeline of a few weeks by only taking one week to resolve the issue. Way to go, Chevrolet!
MotorAuthority says they received an email from Chevrolet that stated that the customers had been informed that "their cars will arrive at dealerships within two to three weeks. For customers whose cars are still being built, production has resumed and estimated delivery times are being developed."
The other customers who had already placed their orders but whose cars had not been sent to production yet will have to wait another two weeks before Chevrolet determines the remaining ZL1 models’ allocation and timing.

Display cases
why are model display boxes so expensive? they cost as much as a model kit, and they're only two pieces. i can understand the big wall display cases being pricey, but i can't justify these jewel boxes.[/rant]

POST APOCALYPSE Vehicle Collection
Hello All fellow Model Makers,
I Have been posting the builds of some of these Models in the "HOT RODS & STREET MACHINES FORUM"
However they may be more suited to this Forum considering what I have seen so far.
you guys are building some really nice models !
so I thought you might like to see some of these. they area mix of 1/24 &1/25 AMT & REVELL kits
and one or two full scratch builds like the BUGGY,
it all started when I bought the Aoshima Kit of the Mad Max Interceptor,
I decided the model needed some companions on the shelf !
69 ford gran Torino
39 chevy minus the rear end !
70 challenger,
70 Plymouth Road runner, a lot of plastic went into the roll cage and bumpers on this model !
had this Model 49 Merc sitting in a box with a lot of the parts missing for over ten years !
"thats why the engine has a Cage, I lost the Bonnet !"
this is a Revell 41 Willys Coupe, I love the Chevy Truck from JEEPERS CREEPERS and so I wanted to try something simalar with the coupe,
and Finaly this one is still a work in progress, its a 1/24 Miasto "Metal" 67 mustang
first some rough designs of what it might look like and then the build as it stands so far,
Well thats my Collection so far, however I intend to build a lot more !
once the Mustang is finished, I'm going to build my biggest yet, An armoured Big Rig.
well I hope you like the models and they are up to your standard.
I will keep posting more builds on this forum from now on.
and I look forward to seeing other people's great build's
take care and all the best,
Barry.
