If you mean me Sant and the automag guy, check out his web site www.scenesunltd.com/
as he's makeing bits for that dio he's also adding them to his range of resin parts, and he posts oversea's too!!
did you get to the "weathered Edsel and the detailed exposed brake drums? or the bit where he dropped the dio on his way into a show? talk about heartbreaking, he's repairing it tho, i'm definatly haveing a go at the brick work, great detail! dont know if i'm up to anywhere near that level

[darcy]

Thanks popeye for posting the links some really cool info.
Darcy

[popeye]

your welcome, he's great on detail, i'm going to give that brickwork a go if i can get hold of some foam board, i'm sure i've seen it at the local hobby shop or perhape at the hobbycraft depot,
guess the motto is make the main case for your dio nice and strong and dont take it out anywhere

[BUCKY]

Wow!! That's a great WIP and a great garage, too!!

[popeye]

This arrived today, i thinks it's the more detailed of the turbine kits, has opening everything and the detailed turbine engine although i'll prob be fitting a regular v8 gas engine, seems complete although one fromt pillar and a inner wing has snapped, repairable tho

also got these over the last few weeks, the tamiya figures are 1/20th scale so might not do for the planned garage dio, still looking for the fujimi set with a lavvy in it ;D

[BUCKY]

Is that Turbine car molded in bronze? The first runs of these were. I've seen one of the actual Turbine cars in a museum. It's an awesome vehicle. The turbine engine is quite awesome, too!

[popeye]

It's a sort of dark maroon moulding, i was reading a thread on auto mag about this kit and it seems it was a period when Johan went through a bad period money wise, this kit was released on several different colors of plastic, other guys had white, some had light blue, some bronze,

Hey Popeye The phone booth looks really cool I'm building theFujimi
garage kit and tools kit right now.I picked up some plans to build a 1/24 scale train shed and office that I plan to change to suite my needs.The plans come with windows and doors you supply the wood or you can buy kits with the wood included. WWW Manchestor doll house and woodworks .com They have a fair amount of supplies for 1/24 or G scale building kits figures ect.

Lessee...I have the Turbine car, the Truck Accessories, the Garage and tools. I've seen the racing crew, but never got one. i've never seen the phone booth kit. I'd like to find one. I've built the Garage and Tools kit. I used two garages to make it bigger. They are made to hook together, so you can build it as big as you like, as long as you keep buying the kits!!

[popeye]

Thanks for the dolls house details Darcy, i'll check them out,
Bucky the top link is where i got the phone boot etc kit, check out the guys shop "Yokyo Hobbies" pretty cheap concidering its in Japan, the shipping was cheaper than buying from the bloody UK, and the same kit here was dam near £30, i did see a kit with a toilet, and stuff in it (i mean other equipment not a deposit) ;D

Was at the LHS and it was right there in front of me and had to have it

[santeras]

Nice bit of luck Walt, i'd love to get my hands on one of those kits.

[darcy]

Ive been waiting along time for this 1/16 scale street Charger kit.I bought two one for the shelf and one ta build.Does anyone know what year this car is its not a 67 68 or 69? It doesn't say anywhere on the box or instructions.

These two I purchased online at hobbylinc.com.These are two of my all time favorite cars.

I'm lookin forward to building this classic It also came from hobbylinc.

[popeye]

Some really good scores there mate, i love the 1/16th charger, never seen that one before, certainly never see em here,, well done

[BUCKY]

Nice bunch of stuff, Darcy!! This body style ran from '71 through the '74 model year, and judging from the shape of the rear quarter window, this one appears to be a '73-'74 year model.

[kustombuilder1]

Yeah, darcy, I had the Charger way back when, and it was a blast! As soon as finances permit, I shall have it again!

Thanks Bucky i figured you would know.

Popeye apparently the Charger Kit is an old kit they reissued this year as a single run you can pick one of these up from www.megahobby.com/116dodgestreetcharger.aspx

[darcy]

Hey Popeye Thats a really cool score what a classic car! What year was this kit put out?
Darcy

[popeye]

dont know the exact year but i believe mid to late sixtys, remember buying the two Lincolns in this series from "Woolies" when they came out, never got to buy the Chrysler tho or the chevy van, now theres one i wish i'd bought a few hundred kits of (if they ever made that many) ;D
