• A sincere thank you to everyone for the comments and compliments on my gold 1970 Charger build. I appreciate them all very much. Thanks again ! *NM*
• Does someone make the side stripe decals for the Dirty Mary Crazy Larry 1969 Charger ? I only knew of Keith Marks, but he has stopped making decals. I would like to buy a set of those decal side stripes if there is a source. Thank you. *NM*
• The 250 Celebration Model Parade is ready to go and will be posted tomorrow morning. *NM*
• What's a good site to find out what body colors the 1970 Challenger T/A's came in? *NM*
  • Google wasn't being very nice to me. I finally dug pass the ads at the top of their list (very annoying). Now to narrow down my choices. So many nice colors... more inside
    • You may have been able to do a "stripe delete" on a T/A Challenger. I'll bet nobody ever did that though. Here is a link to a '70 Dodge factory ordering guide. They don't mention the colors or the stripes though. *NM* *LINK*
      • Here are all the colors. Real cars, not theoretical. *NM* *LINK*
• New kits from Round 2. *NM* *LINK*
  • I'll be grabbing the Mr Speed Studebaker, a couple of thr 32 Chevys, and probably the Firebird F/C (A nice kit... Too bad that they mucked it up with the gold plating... That just looks cheap and cheesy, IMHO) *NM*
    • I feel you on the Firebird F/C. I'm gonna get me 2, 1 to build (stripping that gold chrome and spraying it with a chrome), the other I'm gonna keep for a much later date. I'll definitely be grabbing a Mr Speed kit, too. *NM*
    • The kit will probably reappear in a year or two, with other decals and regular chrome. The gold looks good on this version *NM*
• I have 2 Corvette question for the kit historians.....
  • Flip front '57 is an MPC kit. It and the "stock body" version have alternated as there are two '57 bodies for that kit...
    • To add to what Mark said, believe the last issue of the stock-body MPC '57 was the Corvette Collectors Set from the 1980s *NM*
      • I'm pretty sure there was a 5-car set in the mid/late Nineties with it also. That set was out alongside the then-new AMT '57 kit *NM*
  • 1:24-scale Monogram/Revell '65/'66 Corvette....
  • Thanx Guys for the history lesson, I knew someone would have the answers *NM*
• I have a couple of the Salvinos Next Gen cars currently in the queue. I have read that they can be troublesome kits to build... My question is, what are the issues that I might need to deal with. *NM*
  • I have 4 or 5 of them and have yet to crack the plastic on any of them, I do know Clay Kemp built one on his youtube channel, I'm sure he would have addressed any issues on there. *NM*
  • Haven't had any problems with the NASCAR kits. Gave up on the Modified and have yet to tackle the Indycar kit. *NM*
• Cool project! Can't wait to see more of it. *NM*
• New build. 1970 Dodge Charger 383 Magnum. Painted Y4 Light Gold Poly, one of my favorite colors. This is the Revell kit. It came with a Hemi, but I built it as a non R/T. .......... *PICS* ..........
  • Another winner! *NM*
    • Yes it is................ *NM*
  • Nice job, Scott! *NM*
  • Beautiful build. *NM*
  • MAN! That's sweet, I'm a sucker for that color! .....as for the return spring...you'll remember at the first turn of the key! : ) *NM*
  • Really really like this one, Scott! Amazing work! *NM*
  • Sweet!!! *NM*
  • Re:Gorgeous!!!..is the 383 from the 69'Dart? *NM*
    • Thank you. It's actually the 440 from the Revell 1969 Charger. Since the 383 and 440 look so similar in scale, I'm just calling it a 383. *NM*
  • Nice work!! *NM*
  • Very cool! *NM*
  • sharp build, looks great in gold *NM*
• Such a cool build so far.... Love the subject matter, but reading your description of the kit has convinced me that it's not for me... I struggle enough with your average everyday 1/25 scale models car kit. *NM*
• Speaking of Herb Deeks... Jim Meehan asked me to post a pic of this cool little hot rod that he built using one of Herb's resin bodies.... *NM* *PIC*
  • Classic! *NM*
  • Love it! *NM*
• Happy Canada Day...Eh :) ...from a car show in Napanee, Ontario...enjoy :) *LINK*
  • Happy Canada Day to you! *NM*
  • That red 63 Dodge simply speaks me! 😎 *NM*
  • We got to 66 Fahrenheit here. Might be in the low 80's by Monday. *NM*
• Gow Job....... *PIC*
  • That is super kool. Totally has "the look." *NM*
  • Re: nice...... *NM*
  • Way cool, CD. *NM*
  • That just makes me smile!!! *NM*
  • That's a neat build CD! *NM*
• Saw on Facebook that Herb Deeks has passed away. *PIC*
  • I spent a lot of time buying and selling at the events he hosted. He will be missed. *NM*
    • Met him at a Whittier model show once, LOTS of his stuff in my stash RIP Prayers to family...
  • Herb was a nice guy, The modeling community will miss him. *NM*
  • Met and spoke with him once at the former Toledo Toy Show where I purchased his 1/32 scale White truck kit. Nice guy. RIP, Herb. *NM*
  • I met Hern during the early days of the NNL Nationals at Toledo...
    • We probably crossed paths, Howard. I was guest of the Great Lakes Model Fire Engineers who put on displays at the NNL Nationals that same day. *NM*
      • I also displayed with Greg and company a few times... *NM*
• Project Yellow Fever..............68 AWB Road Runner................PICs
  • Cool build! *NM*
  • Super cool! *NM*
  • Don't think I've ever seen one of these given the AWB treatment. Really cool! *NM*
  • That grabs attention! Nice work *NM*
  • Re: nice *NM*
  • Honestly, I wouldn't worry about figuring out what NHRA class it would've run in.... Its too cool that... Has more of a match racer vibe (back in the day, match racing is where the real money was anyway) *NM*
  • Cool build *NM*
  • Very Kool!
  • Temp has surely reach a peak high in my world. *NM*
  • Call it an A/FX, I guess. Lots of cars modified like that ran that class IIRC. Very cool build. *NM*
    • thanks Bill I'll add that to the windshield *NM*
  • Clean build, Craig...that yellow really pops. *NM*
• Neat hot rod Tim! I like the painted wheels with hubcap look. Kind of like a steelies 'n caps look. *NM*
  • Bob...those wheels were sort of a half-baked attempt to replicate a real 1/1 scale aftermarket wheel called "The HubCapper" that was widely advertised in Rod Action and Street Rodder mags in the mid-late 1970s. Glad you liked 'em! Cheers...TIM *NM*
• Upon further reflection, probably better/more accurate to think of and refer to this new website an "online modeling reference/resource" than an online magazine...TIM *NM*
• Thanks guys for the comments, and I like your term "parts box builds". Pretty cool! TB *NM*
• Enough for a while. *PIC*
  • Remarkable combo. Congrats! *NM*
  • Mighty fine work there, Terry! TB *NM*
  • Good stuff! *NM*
  • Very nice work Terry as always! I've been enjoying your model a day posts on social media! *NM*
  • Nice work Terry......What is the white late 30's, around 1938(?) 4dr Sedan?......Cadillac? Imperial?......is it a kit?, very curious....lol. *NM*
    • It's a 1938 Russian Zis or Zil (I forget which) limousine. It was kind of a copy of a '36 Buick. *NM*
  • Fine piece of work, Terry! *NM*
  • What a beast!!! *NM*
  • WOW!! How great is that!! *NM*
• Thank you *NM*
• Matt & Dawn, for those that struggle with posting multiple pictures, could the submission form be changed to having 3 slots for pictures (Optional Image URL:)? *NM*
  • Mike, if you use Fotki it's really easy. , You'd just klik on the "share" box above your pic in your album, choose "code for HTML page" and past that code in the text box of your message. There's also the old way with the greater and less then signs ,I think someone here,,
    • The greater than and less than signs method is my go-to. Works for me. *NM*
      • The method that Steve mentioned is by far the easiest/fastest way (I've been known to post a bunch of pics, a time or two 😁) *NM*
    • Here is the "old" method (I still use). I have been told that the "P"s inthe less/more brackes are not needed. YMMV. *NM* *PIC*
      • Yes, the Ps aren't needed. That's the way I post multiple photos here. *NM*
        • I never use the center stuff just the imgsrc stuff. *NM*
    • This wasn't me asking particularly for myself. Also, I don't have Fotki, I use a freebie site. They have pretty much the same info to use as Fotki to post pics. Although 90% of the time I post pics from other sites.
  • This wasn't me asking for this. I saw a particular post and took it upon myself to ask. *LINK*
• Man, that Blazer is gonna sit low. 👍😎👍 Looking good. Where did you find that frame? I have a stepside that could probably work in. *NM*
  • Steve-O printed it for me but I think it's no longer available, not sure. you'd have to ask him. *NM*
    • The frame is available on Cults3d it's by nineteencreations. *NM*
• They are Z-force "Square 22"s. *NM*
• I've heard that about their kits, among others. I have a few of their kits and while I have yet to start any, I'm really tempted. *NM*
• Nice! Posted before, here's a parts box build I did some time ago, kind of thought it would be something those guys in CARtoons would come up with...PICS
• Nicely turned out, Tim! Things that make you go hmmmm...
• Very nice. If the real bike's exhaust really looks like that, I'd be looking to replace the pipes by the end of the year...
• Yes. Thanks for the link Tim. *NM*
