  • Take care Marty........I get it..... *NM*
  • DITTO!! *NM*
• Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
  • Bill........is there any space for that 48 Chrysler Convertible?......I'll be able to collect the 1969 VF Series valiant Wayfarer Ute myself as its at the Chrysler Restorers Club Sydney show....thanks for another great selection. *NM*
  • Thanks Bill!! *NM*
  • Blue pickup is different...and I like it!! *NM*
  • Never seen an orange body-color bumpered GTX... *NM*
• Long shot - Is anyone else here going to the Milehigh Open Model Car Show in Denver tomorrow? *NM*
• While you are in town Mr Jessie....... *PIC*
  • Sorry for the mis spell! *NM*
• I don't believe it. *PIC*
  • ebay is bad about that stuff.....
    • You and your friends might blitz his site with posts of your complaints and proof, but that could turn into him attacking your sites, too. Might not be worth the potential aggravation. *NM*
      • Sorry,that was supposed to be under Terry's post *NM*
    • And generally, if they're not capable of doing original artwork, they aren't even good at scanning/printing either *NM*
  • Sadly, some people have absolutely no problem with ripping off an image from the web and selling it as their own....
  • Maybe photos, artwork, etc. should be copyrighted. Many of my photos have been posted online but the posters weren't charging $$. Just a thought *NM*
  • I can relate!! I had that happen with decals I designed! *NM*
• Saw this morning on the internet that legendary sports car racer Bob Tullius has died, aged 95. *LINK*
  • Big fan of him and the nice looking cars. Sebring race will no doubt have a tribute. *NM*
• David Dale sent me pics of his latest.... One very clean Hellcat! *PICS*
  • Beautiful build David ! *NM*
  • Thank you Marty. The new Hellcat kit. Paint is 2021 Sublime. Accent color is metallic gray (even though it looks kindof black in the pics). Round 2 did a wonderful job on this kit and the motor is extra nice. *NM*
    • Very Nice! *NM*
  • Great job Dave! It definitely gives it a vintage muscle vibe! *NM*
  • That is one nice clean build Dave. Love that color. *NM*
  • I'm not into these, but clean modeling is clean modeling, none-the-less, David. *NM*
  • Dang I like it... *NM*
  • Really nice! *NM*
  • What a great build, David! *NM*
  • "Mean Machine" *NM*
• Trying to get a theme entry done for the Left Coast Scale Classic. Auto Modeler Magazine will cover the show.
  • Scott..........is it me being a tightwad but $25.00 entry seems rather high?......lol. *NM*
    • NNL East is up to $20. These facilities are getting increasingly expensive to rent for a day’s event. *NM*
      • Not to mention other expenses like insurance and security. *NM*
    • I had to think about that, Andy. For an all day event with a mix of all sorts of mars and models cars? That seems like a fair deal. *NM*
      • Yeh, I suppose you're right, its just that being a 1:1 hot rodder I've gotten tired of paying top dollar to put my car on display yet the public pay a pitance & it appears to be a similar setup when we as modellers display our wares, $25 US = $41 Oz....lol. *NM*
• The 273 finned valve covers would be a great little project for someone to 3D print. *NM*
• Kool build! Funny how MPC got it right 50 years ago.......
  • Even Revell has missed a few in the modern era......
    • Yeah, There are enough bad kits to go around, but fixing some of the problems is part of the fun! *NM*
• Question for the Big Rig builders, What is a good after market source for AMT kit drive tires?
  • This doesn't answer your question but I know AMT truck kits used both 20" & 22" tyres so you would need to check the diameter. *NM*
  • I know nothing about truck tires but would the AMT Truck Tires parts pack help? *NM*
  • Check out ST Supply Co for model truck tires and wheels. *NM*
  • Thanks Guys, Looks like STS is the solution. *NM*
  • Jamie Rahmoler with Mo'Luminum has tires from time to time as well *NM*
    • WOW! just saw his story, what an inspiration that Guy is! *NM*
• Saw a 68 Barracuda in NZ last year, absolute beauty. Not sure of the engine but the right hand drive was mind bending *NM*
• My take on the newly released 1960 Chevrolet Nomad *PIC*
  • Wow is that ever nicely done. *NM*
  • Very nicely done and what a striking color combination..Very well done.. *NM*
  • OMG! Thanks for ruining that kit for the rest of Us! Just Kidding, that is beautiful! Love the color, the stance, Everything about it really! *NM*
  • I'd say that your take is outstanding Steve-o ! *NM*
  • Everything on your build is perfect! Love it *NM*
  • I am loving this! Super job! *NM*
  • BEAUTIFUL...Absolutely beautiful!!! *NM*

  • Re: Very well done *NM*
  • Very nice! Is the engine 3D printed? *NM*
    • The engine isn’t, it’s from the AMT 55 Chevrolet Pickup. I printed the intake, carbs, air cleaners, valve covers and headers. *NM*

  • CD. These 2 items are all that I could find for the show. ..... *PICS* .....
    • Those flyer don't have the opening times.
  • Thanks Guys. See Ya There? I'm going, but won't be able to stay long. *NM*
    • Unfortunately, I can't make it. I have a family function to attend. Good luck CD and Len if you guys enter the show. And good luck finding what you want in the swap meet. *NM*
• Part request please. I'm looking for a set of 4 dog dish poverty hub caps from the 1965 GTO. I'm willing to pay for the parts and the shipping. Thank you. *NM*
  • Spotlight Hobbies has the Whole kit in stock...... *NM*
    • Thanks for letting me know CD. But, I don't want to spend close to $40 to get 4 hubcaps. (price of kit plus shipping). *NM*
      • Understood, but just in case all else fails..... *NM*
  • OTB [email protected] *NM*
    • Munchie, I sent you an email. *NM*
      • If things fall thru I can help you with them. Let me know. *NM*
        • Thank you Frank. Munchie has me covered. *NM*
• Question for you all. I've seen on the street and at car shows, Charger Hellcats with the large Hellcat logo on the rear quarter panel. Anyone make a 1/25 scale decal of that? *NM*
  • Slixx offers a decal sheet with Hellcat and Demon emblems that look like they fit a quarter panel *NM* *LINK*
    • Thank you Steve! *NM*
• If somebody does, I hope it's the 273 Commando version *PIC*
  • Thats the version I'd like to build, a mate in 1980's had a 65 Barracuda with the 273 Commando V8, 1st Barracuda I'd seen close up in Oz, it used Oz Valiant RHD firewall/dash/steering & was just a neat car....bought my 68 Phoenix 4dr H/top(US Plymouth Fury 3) from him. *NM*
  • Thanks for the 273 Commando engine pic, remindered me that they had the bolt on fins on the rocker covers......lol.i *NM*
    • I always thought it was a little odd, but the overall appearance was good. An acquaintance many years ago had a ‘65 Barracuda, black with red interior and 273 Commando. It was a nice looking package. *NM*
• I am really pleased with how the color scheme worked out. *NM*
• I wish I could buy one now. *NM*
• Thank you! *NM*
• Thanks! *NM*
