• Off the bench......PICS......
• What is the better choice, Revell Chrom spray or sending parts out to be re plated?
  • In my opinion, it totally depends on your needs... If durability is an issue, then re-plating is probably your best bet. If it's a part that won't require much handling during assembly, then I'd opt for Revell Chrome. *NM*
  • What kind of shine are you looking for? Plating gives you a 'harder' shine while the spray is a 'softer' shine. My 2 cents. *NM*

  • What color are planning to paint over it? Are you going to use a primer first?. *NM*
  • Shoot it with Tamiya Pink primer first and you should be good to go. *NM*
  • Red plastic and red paint? You do not have to worry at all. *NM*

  • That's a sharp looking truck. And your camper looks really nice too. Great vacation package. *NM*
  • I bought a new truck 25 years ago--it's paid for and runs good. Can I ask what a person has to pop for a rig (any make) like this today *NM*
    • Don't faint *PIC*
      • That’s a lot of money right there. *NM*
        • I have seen new ones go over 100 grand. *NM*
          • Usually higher trim levels (Ford F-150 in Platinum or King Ranch), 4x4s, and/or diesel-powered 3/4-tons. *NM*

  • Holy C Rap what a lot of great truck builds! *NM*
  • Just WOW *NM*
• O/T:Messing with the Mustang Pace car...... *PIC*
  • Looks great. Interesting that the '79 was the only year that the door latch was on the bottom. *NM*
    • Probably because the 240Z door handles were there. They were up higher in 1980. *NM*
    • I remember passengers in my Ghia 5.0 complaining about the door handle location, but I actually liked it - alot. Alas most others did not and the location was changed for the '80 and beyond foxes as noted elsewhere in this thread...TB *NM*
      • When my son posted pics on Social we had offers of big bucks for the door handles!!! LOL *NM*
      • I had a '79 Capri for a couple of years, honestly can't remember where the inner handles were on that car *NM*
  • On mine there was a piece of paper under the dash pad that said PACE CAR in green letters. *NM*
    • Read about that...yet to check! *NM*
      • You could also find the build sheet under the back seat or under the carpet. *NM*
• From the "Floats my Boat", this guy showed up at the donut shop this morning, never seen this car before. *PIC*
  • Basic with big block... oh yeah! *NM*
  • I LIKE IT!!! *NM*
• Went to Circus City model show today in Peru, IN. Was a man there recording the models on the tables. He said the videos would be put up live (?) Said several videos would be on Facebook by time show over. Can some help by posting a link please? I don't know how Facebook. *NM*
  • This gentleman posted three short videos... *LINK*
    • Thank you John. *NM*
  • Here is their page. I don't see any videos though. *NM* *LINK*
    • Thank you Bill. *NM*
  • Mike Mallott was also posting video. Paul Foreman was the promotor
    • Thank you CD. I went to Facebook and typed in the name Mike Mallott, but I didn't see a video. Can you post a link or tell me how to navigate FB? This is why I hate FB. For me, it's not simple. Please help if you can. Thank you. *NM*
      • Well, that's probably my fault I misspelled his name, it's Mellott, try this link *NM* *LINK*
      • I agree, FB is a challenge for me too.
• I have been looking for the rear shot of the 64 RamCharger Rail for years. Thank you!
• Thanks for sharing the PICS! *NM*
• Thanks Bill!! *NM*
• Love the ‘61 Mopars on the train! My favourite pic among a boatload of great pics! *NM*
• Finally starting to get some color on the square body pickup. , , [PICS]
  • Re: nice *NM*
  • What silver did you use? *NM*
    • Just some generic silver duplicolor acrylic lacquer I got at Canadian Tire. I like to use it for a guide coat as it shows every imperfection I'll have to fix before final paint. *NM* *PIC*
      • Do you airbrush that - or spray right from the can? *NM*
        • Airbrush. *NM*
  • Oh yeah!!!!! I wish I still had my Blazer so they could sit together at CAMS. *NM*
• The paint is sooo smooth! *NM*
  • Thanks! I've been working with different air pressures to get it to lay down even better. Now if I could keep dirt out of it I'd be happy. *NM*
• Very clean workmanship *NM*
• Nice stuff. Looking good. *NM*
• Definitely a different level of building, but the creative output is incredible *NM*
• 67 Galaxie Wagon
  • Purty durn good for how it got there. And a lot of patience for how long you hung on to it! *NM*
  • That's cool. What a great save!!! *NM*
  • That hood must be quite heavy. Takes a hefty piece of wood to hold it up.😎 *NM*
    • Re: Ha that's all i could find *NM*
    • LOL I had the same thought, *NM*
  • Great save and quite the custom wagon. What are the wheels from? *NM*
    • Re: Z - Man wheels I got them from a guy in Detroit *NM*
• Okay, you talked me into it.... I just ordered one from our hosts! 😁 *NM*
  • Glad to hear it! Now if I can just get everyone accustomed to buying my products through Spotlight Hobbies and have less one on one interaction with every single customer (especially on FB) I might be able to offer more than usual as time goes on *NM*
• Trying to post Friday Evening Randomness, but my Internet/WiFi keeps going out (been an intermittent problem over the last couple of days),
  • Re: Have a good night *NM*
• Oooooo...black Imperial. *NM*
  • A beauty indeed! Wonder where that pic was taken with that cool vintage railroad 'snowblower' in the background. *NM*
    • That was taken at the final C Body Mopar Gathering, at the Illinois Railroad Museum, in Union, IL... Unfortunately I didn't spend any time walking the grounds to check out the trains. The weather turned from a light drizzle to a steady heavy rain
• Body-color bumper GTX--don't see those very often. Thanks for the Power Wagon, Bill (mebbe somebody will 3D-print one for me...hint, hint, hint...) *NM*
• Re: Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
• 1/20th, Bill *NM*
• ..... Great Guy !! ..... Thanks to John Sharisky for the slant 6. I hadn't checked the mail for 2-3 days until today, but today, there it was. Thank you so much ! *NM*

    • Re: Here are some of my customers' builds of the chopped '32 Ford Tudro sedan body. PICS
  • Beautiful cars Ed. I've a question on the red car, Anyone know the source of the headers? *NM*
    • Re: I do not recall but think they were aftermarket. The build of the red sedan can be found on the MCM forum with more details. There was a '32 Tudor sedan group build going on. *NM*
  • Absolutely gorgeous!!!! *NM*
  • Great Looking Deuces! *NM*
  • Which kit is that made to fit? Thanks. *NM*
    • Re: Sorry for not mentioning it....I just assumed everyone would realize it fits the Revell '32 Tudor sedan kit (recenly reissued) looking at the photos, and clearly not the vintage AMT '32 Tudor from the double kit with the Willys or the Revell Orange Crate. *NM*
      • Will Spotlight be offering it? *NM*
        • Re:Possibly at some point. I have these bodies in stock right now if you don't want to risk missing out on it. *NM*
• I don’t throw away anything, and that’s precisely why I can’t ever find what I’m looking for… ;) *NM*
  • Mark, I can relate. A few days ago I was looking for a box which contains modeling tools I've had at least 30+ years. Found them right where they've been a LONG WHILE!....PIC INSIDE....
    • Cool! Congrats on the find! I have found the plus side of this, combined with aging (lol), is that I occasionally find models and other stuff that I don’t remember buying, or at least had forgotten them until I saw them again. It’s like Christmas all year long! ;) *NM*
      • Mark, I can also relate to that experience. Have you ever bought a kit you just had to get and then find you already had 2 or 3? *NM*
        • LOL… Oh yeah. I’ve done that with music CDs as well! *NM*
• I really like the front end treatment! Nice work. *NM*
• Re: FORMULA ONE FRIDAY. Very clean build! Nice build Munchie! *NM*
• Re: Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS* Lots of neat stuff, Thanks! *NM*

  • Way cool! *NM*
  • That's fantastic! *NM*
  • Now that's cool! *NM*
  • Great concept and execution! *NM*
  • That's very cool! *NM*
  • Clever idea! *NM*
• Designing one? Nah. Too many things can go wrong. *NM*
• NICE BUILD!!! I'll play *PIC*
• I can’t imagine EVER throwing away an unblemished kit part. I used both caps for my builds after cutting off that piece over the cab.
