i find that for hoses the wires from old headphones works well, and i use different things for spark wires, havnt found any one thing that works perfect for me, although i have found that fishing line, although a bit stiff, makes for a cool effect with the clear line... see my builds for what im talkin about

started workin on this. turning a 70 buick gsx into a 69 buick skylark gs, a replica of my cousins car, had to add the swooping body line, the body like on the upper quarters, reshape the trunk and add the raised section, and smooth out the bottom half of the doors/rockers

anyone have any experience with Ross Gibsons Engine Kits?
 
I asked for a couple of kits for Christmas. To be precise I wanted a Dart and the Old Monogram "L'il Coffin" kit.

I got,
Two 68 dart Kits (Revells; Mr. Norm's 68 Dart" and the '68 Hemi Dart kit),
The Monogram L'i Coffin kit,
AMT's '96 Corvette kit (?),
Revell's '64 Impala kit (?),
Monogram's "Paddy Wagon" kit,
Monogram's Diehard NASCAR Chevy Race truck (again ?),
AMT's 69 GTX kit (!!!),
and Revell's '49 Merc coupe kit. and Testors 1/6 scale Harley Road King kit!

I'm not nearly as good as some of you at this, but I guess I'll be getting a bit of practice over the next few months! lol
 
Thought I would share this . My daughter bought me this for Christmas. Never suggested of wanting a model. thought it would be fun to make a minni me of my dart. Its been years since i put a model together. its not the calaber of the ones i see on here but I got a kick out of it.
