VenomMacbeth

Just to clarify, the item has been sent & the issue was resolved. No ripping off.

I've made all kinds of Macross stuff in lego:

I changed the names around for some of em, as while they resembled actual mechs from Macross, I couldn't make them close enough to warrant having the same names. The last one I ever made, not featured there, was a (poor) attempt at a transforming VF-25. If I can find pics of it, I'll post them.

Updated my collection:

(that picture of the SDF-1 in the background is a painting I did in high school)

Also, pics of the Q-Rau and Monster as requested

I know it's April fools, butttt...

This toy costs twice as much as my car did. Pass.

My humble collection.

I'm mainly looking for 1/100 VF-1's (KOs/Bootlegs are fine!) and the little 1/144 Henkei valks (that nobody seems to like,) but I'll consider anything else interesting!

I'm also looking for the little Select/Mark Convertors figures, if anyone has those.

Alright, these first two are on ebay:

ROTF Voyager Grindor

And lastly, I'm also selling a G1 Commemorative Series Optimus Prime, MIB with unapplied stickers, all pamphlets and everything. I'm asking $60 for it, but I'm open to offers. I need this stuff gone ASAP! Email me at phanaeusvindex_AT_aol_DOT_com if you're interested. Thanks!

So I plan on purchasing a resin kit; the tatsuhobby recast of the Dimension Diver Samus. (look up Dimension Diver Samus for pics.)

As I have never put together a resin kit, some pointers for getting started would be helpful. However, what I may end up doing is just paying someone to assemble the kit as this will probably be the only resin kit I EVER get, so the knowledge is kinda pointless.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Whoa! Didn't expect that big a tally Most guys around where I live are metalheads (not that there's anything wrong with metal...)

I like lush, I have a friend named Rupert & I frequently refer to him as "the bear." lol anyway, I agree that Cocteau Twins is hit or miss. Good to see some people know Airiel, too (and yes, they do have a song called Sharron Apple. I suppose at least one of their members is a Macross fan, perhaps?)

I also just bought an Ambulance LTD album yesterday. Anyone here heard of em?

Anyone on here listen to Shoegaze/Nugaze/Dream pop? IE bands like Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Chapterhouse, Cocteau Twins, etc. Lately I've been listening to Airiel, an awesome indie/nugaze band from Chicago. So yeah, any shoegazers?

Nothing wrong with that here. It is the car forum, after all. Actually, the 4-door sedans pretty much got no love, considered throwaway cars compared to the "performance" models of the day, so it ought to be even more rare. You may want to keep it close to original spec because of that.

Or, if you wanted to be a deviant and make a sleeper out of it, there are plenty of hi-perf coupe parts that should go on relatively easily. Lots of fiberglass parts to make it lighter, like: hoods, fenders, bumpers, etc. If it has a 289, I've heard they can make decent power, with the right parts; and if you can find a Toploader trans it should bolt right up. Just have to be wary--make sure it's a true 4-spd, and not the "3-spd overdrive," as they're said to be weak.

Well, most of the discussion here seems to be about exotic new luxury & sports cars, rather than classic cars like I'm into.

I don't plan on doing TOO much to it. It's got the original 221 V8, nothing too special. I'm going to try to find a replacement rear bumper because it's pretty warped. One of the tail light lenses is broken, but it stays on. I was considering modding the rocketship taillights from a '59 caddy to fit my car, but I think I am gonna try to keep it mostly original & just get a replacement fairlane lense.

However, it didn't have the original radio or stereo system when I got it, just a POS Sparkomatic radio & "Mitsubishi Audio" speakers lol. I'm gonna replace those, and hopefully get a new Classic Autosound radio. I'm going to get lap & shoulder seatbelts in the front seat and lap belts in the back seat. I'm also thinking about maybe installing a power brake booster just to make it easier to drive, as well as some after-market AC if I get the extra cash.

As for the transmission, I think I'm gonna keep it as-is. You can find a stock 3-speed automatic, but I think they're rare, and I can't drive stick so the 4-speed is out... I might get some chrome valve covers and air cleaner, though.

How much for the Joons Millia?
