• As some of you may have noticed, due to continuing health issues I have not been to any car shows this year... Well, I tried to check out a show here in town, last Friday.... You'll notice that I said, "tried"... *PICS* *LINK*
  • Thanks for the pictures Marty..The Bronze GTX, I had a sport satalite same color scheme..It sucks getting old but beats the alernative..Stay safe and healthy *NM*
  • Good times until the storm blew it away. Nice to see the 1954 F100 (much like mine) *NM*
    • Thanks Marty! *NM*
  • All good Marty....main thing is that you look after yourself. *NM*
    • X2 *NM*
  • Thank you for a good show anyway! Too bad it was short, lots of cool rides there. It's great that you went! *NM*
  • Digging the big '68 Pontiac. Looks nice. *NM*
• Wow, that was a mighty impressive line up!! Thanks guys for sharing your fine work! *NM*
• A very nice lineup Bill! *NM*
• New build. 1971 Charger R/T in Light Gun Metal. The first pic shows the real 1:1 car for inspiration. When I came across that pic, I really, really liked the look of the car. So, I built one. .......... *PICS* ..........
  • DROOL!! *NM*
  • Veddy noice! *NM*
  • That thing is gorgeous! *NM*
  • Re: Nicely done!!,you`re a talented builder!. *NM*
  • There used to be one local to me in that colour. It’s really sharp in person!! *NM*
  • You must have a miniature assembly line! What a nice model *NM*
  • another fine build *NM*
  • That's a beautiful build, I love it! *NM*
  • Re: New build. 1971 Charger R/T in Light Gun Metal. Reminds me of a Graveyard Carz video I saw yesterday or so. Mark found a rare 1-of-1 paint color '71 Charger R/T 440. *LINK* *PIC*
• That "gold" clearcoat can usually be removed with a 5 second soak in alcohol. I've done that a couple times already with the 80's Monogram "gold plating" *NM*
  • Good to know. I might re-think buying one. *NM*
    • I have a thing for the Monogram T kits, so I figured I'd stop passing them up because of the "gold" chrome if it was removable. No guarantee it will will work on the new Round2 stuff, but I know it works on the 80's Monogram stuff *NM*
• 1976 CHEVY CAPRICE "BICHEVTENNIAL" *PICS*
  • Very cool! Has that AMC paint vibe (and I mean that in a good way)! *NM*
  • Pretty cool, Bill. I drove a few Spirit of America Chevys back in the day when I worked at a Chevy dealership. I know yours isn't one, but has a similar vibe! Well done. *NM*
• Red, White, and Blue...( a day late) *PICS*
  • Digging the Dodge rescue rig! *NM*
  • Good stuff, Terry! Is the white Dodge a die cast? *NM*
  • Yes, Motormax Chicago Police repainted. *PICS*
• Thank you,Charlie! Amazing stuff! *NM*
• The International Loadstar is my favorite of the whole lot. I wish they were still available. Not to worry, much else in the queue! *NM*
  • They are available, I believe, through Dave Carey. *NM*
• Thank you for all that Charlie! Awesome work by all and very inspirational. *NM*
• Good stuff, Bill! I like em all, really diggin the Firebird. *NM*
• Neato! *NM*
• Re: Yes, there was a Mk. II version of the Black Rat Street Machine....
  • Now I'm keeping an eye out - the BBC in that kit is genuinely good
    • Saw one online with pictures, engine looks like a 1/24 version of the '69 Camaro piece...
• Fun hot rod! *NM*
• That's a long parade, nice work *NM*
• nice work *NM*
• sharp eddie *NM*
• That turned out great... Sorry that I flaked on sending you more pics. It honestly slipped my mind!!!
  • No worries. Since I wasn't trying for a perfect representation the pic you posted was enough. Thanks again. *NM*
• New phone. I don't like having to change. Does this make me old now? 🤔 *NM*
  • Had to change it to desktop mode just to see everything I know is there. Like the header, the menu on the left, the new kits listed at the top... but, HEY! It's working, for now. *NM*
• BRAVO!!! *NM*
• Red white and blues
  • Nice models! Especially diggin the #8! *NM*
  • More cool ones! *NM*
  • Still loving the Chevy II street racer! *NM*
    • Here's a pic of the 1:1...
      • Yes... I remember that from when you showed the in progress pics. *NM*
  • cool models *NM*
  • The first Camaro short tracker looks just like the ones that raced here in the 1970s. The HRE front fascia and flared wheel arches clinch the look! Fabulous!! *NM*
  • Great builds, all - loaded with 'gotcha' *NM*
  • Brewster Baker? Now why is that name familiar? *LINK* *PIC*
    • I’ll have to look that one up! *NM*
    • In 2019 Jonathan Davenport won the World 100 with the Brewster throwback scheme. That's the second Pic. *NM*
    • Six Pack... A cutesy 1982 "racing movie", starring Kenny Rodgers and a very young Diane Lane. *NM*
• Some more R/W/B.....pics
  • nice trio *NM*
  • Cool cars! *NM*
• Red, white and blue *PICS*
  • More red, white and blue *PICS*
    • Those are great! *NM*
    • I keep hoping that R2 sees fit to reissue the Grant King sprint car kit. I built a couple of them back in the mid 70s and they looked really cool on a little trailer, behind Monogram's 40 Ford pickup. *NM*
  • That 32 Vicky fire chief's car is gorgeous! *NM*
  • Didn't you build that 37 and fire cheif car when we still lived at home? Isn't the chief car just polished plastic, not painted?? *NM*
    • Re: Didn't you build that 37 and fire cheif car when we still lived at home? Isn't the chief car just polished plastic, not painted??
      • Click on above message to see the reply. JB *NM*
  • sharp builds *NM*
• RED... WHITE... & BLUE!!! *PICS*
  • Cool! *NM*
  • Good stuff, Marty! I really like the '56. *NM*
  • nice ones *NM*
• Pretty cool! *NM*
• R/W/B's
  • Nice! *NM*
  • Digging the AMX... Not to mention your SC/Rambler. VERY SHARP!!! *NM*
  • You know I like ehose AMC's!!! *NM*
  • nice models *NM*
  • Nice builds! I had a Scrambler kit and sold it probably 20 years ago and highly regret that. Yours looks really good! *NM*
  • Very nice Scrambler indeed, did you use the Testors HSO version included photo etch sheet?...I've got both the Johan & HSO kits & one day to build....yours is inspirational. *NM*
    • Actually thats the IXO 1/43 version that I detailed out but yes,I have the JoHan/Testors one with the p/e set Im working on as well, correcting it to the 1969 details (Grille, Tail Panel, Dash etc). There is also a 3d print of one I had printed in 1/18
      • Well......you fooled me.........lol. *NM*
• Red, White and Blue...pics
  • Bob, your pics are not showing up. *NM*
    • They are showing when I open the original post. Not sure why you can't see them. *NM*
  • Big pictures showing up here. *NM*
  • That big 60 Buick is gorgeous!!! *NM*
  • Great models! The GT40 is outstanding. Is that the IMC / Union kit, or another manufacturer? *NM*
    • Thanks! It's an original IMC kit. *NM*
    • Testors reissued the GT40, Mk2 & that Mk4, all 3 appeared to be the same as the original IMC, pity they didn't do the J Car as IMC did.....great build BTW. *NM*
      • The J-Car tool was probably MIA, scrapped or superceded by Mk. IV *NM*
        • I believe that was the case with MPC's J, not sure about IMC's (or even if they had one) *NM*
          • At 72 I might be dreaming but I'm 99.99% certain IMC did the J Car as I built one & still have the instructions in the pile, from memory it was basically the same as the Mk4 with the J Car back...............I think......lol. *NM*
            • Yep, just did a search & IMC did do the J Car.........their Ford GT's are a fiddly kit but I was very happy when Testors redid them, I'd happily get the J Car if it reappeared. *NM*
      • I built the IMC GT40 & Mk2 back in the day tho' long gone so when I did the Testors I decided that they both needed the included Quad Cam Indy engine that came with each kit, not correct but gives any Ferrari the willies at Le Mans.....lol. *NM*
  • nice work *NM*
