• I have a question: does the Revell '30 Model A Coupe 2n1 kit come with fenders? *PIC*
• 65 Baracuda *PIC*
• Here's a Steve Stanford drawing of a '61 Galaxie Ranchero. Has anyone seen anything like this built in styrene? A bit out of my skill set. *PIC*
  • Don Holthaus had this body in resin, quite nice! *NM*
  • I love his art. *NM*
• My take on the AMT 1956 Ford Crown Victoria *PIC*
  • Oh, and the paint is nail polish for the purple base (tons of fine pearl) and Vallejo Metallic medium shot over white base for the roof. Three coats of clear wet sanded between coats and no polish. *NM*
  • Looks sweet! *NM*
  • Lovr the whole car, but especially the paint. Good job! *NM*
  • Stunning for sure!!!! *NM*
  • I like the globe idea and the three pods above the steering column. The seats look cool and futuristic for a ‘50’s/‘60’s custom show car. Nice custom build! *NM*
  • Beyond COOL!!! *NM*
  • Re: I wanted the look of an early 60's Autorama show car.... yup. Nailed it. 👍😎 👍 *NM*
  • Cool! Thanks for keeping it sleek and simple without spotlights, etc. That paint is gorgeous! *NM*
  • Very cool! *NM*
• When I saw the picture of this Pro Stock Gremlin, I had to build one
  • Looks like it was a fun kit-bash. *NM*
  • I like it. *NM*
  • Wicked!!! *NM*
  • Cool idea! *NM*
• What color were the shock absorbers on MOPAR's from the mid 1960's to the mid 1970's ? A, B, and E bodies ? *NM*
  • Semi gloss black, occasionally dark blue. Sometimes depends what was in the bin *NM*
    • Black is your best bet. *NM*
  • I have this book which pertains to B-bodies...*2 PICS*...
• What or who is Krass and Bernie? *NM*
  • Characters created by cartoonists George (?) Trosley for CarToons magazine back in the late 70's / early 80's *NM* *PIC*
    • Krass & Bernie 'returned' in the pages of Car Craft, before that magazine was killed off in 2019. K&B then returned to the now Canadian-published Cartoons in 2020, alongside Trosley's other creation, Deuce & Pinstripe, a male & female duo (are they married to each other?) *NM*
    • krassandbernie is also a handle someone uses on this board. Who is he? *NM*
      • Ed Fluck, Drag City Casting (resin caster) *NM*
        • That's what I thought. *NM*
  • Re: Ed Fluck the owner of Drag City casting *NM*
• I see our hosts received a shipment of Moebius kits. Might have to buy that truck kit. Will have to find some meatier tires, otherwise it looks like a truck I'd like to own *NM*
  • Check out Scenes Unlimited for wheels and tires. I bought a real nice set for the earlier '70 4X4 kit. Also bought some parts to make the F100 into an F250 from someone else. *NM*
  • Fireball Modelworks should have what you are looking for. *NM*
    • Yes, I believe their kit includes wheels and tires, plus the F100/F250 upgrade. *NM*
  • Because it is a little bit of a kink with me - are there any Dollar Store toy aisle candidates with good wheel tire combos for the Moby high rider '71?
    • You mean 'frugal'? :) I've obtained some pretty good detail parts/tires from thrift store toy shelves. *NM*
      • "Value Conscious" is how we described this buyer class innaday ... *NM*
• How would you rate the Revell '26 Ford Sedan Delivery? Is it true the motor is molded a bit small? Regardless though, do you think this is an overall good kit? *PIC*
  • All three of those Buttura T kits are very nice, IMHO.... The sedan was ground breaking when it first came out. It's true that the Ford small block seems to be a bit under scale, but in the confined of the T engine compartment, it looks okay.
  • What Marty said. It's a fun kit to build. *NM* *PIC*
    • Builds up nicely...pic
      • Very nice build...like the color. *NM*
    • Oh I like this! *NM*
• Found a pair on a slot car site for the Shadow race car , shape is pretty close, will see how they look size wise when they arrive *NM*
  • Pic *NM* *PIC*
• As long as we're looking at good Chevy II wagons... *PICS*
  • Gold, not good--I HATE spellcheck!! *NM*
  • Always a favorite - really love this. *NM*
  • I suspect your wagon crept into my inspiration files.. and sort of looks how my radio wagon might have ended up later - terrestrial to extraterrestrial *NM*
  • I did a couple of those when they were reissued. Fun little models!
    • I built one as a JR Stocker when it first came out......
      • here's the picture *NM* *PIC*
• Just got my Atlantis (Revell) '23 Competition Pickup in the mail......
• Hey, have you seen these? *PIC*
  • What I want to know: are they for sale? *NM*
    • You can have one of my sets, if you're not planning on buying from Spotlight for awhile. *NM*
      • Thanks for the offer. But I can't say for sure if I'll ever use them. Maybe better to give them to somebody participating in this build-off? *NM*
  • Re: I have mine *NM*
  • I have two sets. *NM*
  • Got a sheet with my last order...
  • I see a NASCAR racer sponsored by Spotlight. *NM*
  • Yep...last order had them *NM*
  • Sounds like a plan, Terry! Got some ideas already. *NM*
  • Have a set sitting downstairs from my last order. Unexpected and GREAT quality *NM*
• Trucking overload! *NM*
• Nice combo *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.
• Off the bench......PICS......
  • Now that is different.... BUT! I like it. *NM*
  • Recycling done right! *NM*
  • That's very nice! *NM*
  • Re: nice *NM*
  • That Mustang is SWEET!!!! Bitchen' kitbash, Dale!... *NM*
  • That looks fantastic David! *NM*
  • Sharp! I like the color combo. *NM*
  • Good to know the 429 is a drop fit
    • Had to play with the driveshaft fit a bit but nothing serious. Also had to turn the oil filter 180 degrees. *NM*
  • Nice build of all the left over pieces. *NM*
• 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*
  • If it's for bumpers and other parts that were chrome plated on the real car, I'd stick with the re-plating services. Little parts, or s/s trim, or polished aluminum could get the spray. *NM*
  • There's chrome... and there's Chrome...
  • The spray is a great option for parts that have putty in them owing to extensive repairs. It's another tool in the box *NM*
• I LIKE IT!!! *NM*
• Just WOW *NM*
• RS.... My bodyshop friend just sold his truck which looks like that.... Did you buy that from a guy named Fred? *NM*
  • OH! nice combo and have fun and be safe. *NM*
  • Re: RS.... My bodyshop friend just sold his truck which looks like that.... Did you buy that from a guy named Fred?
• 1st Build of Spring '25 *Warning! Long Winded Story!*
  • Nice story...interesting build...excellent lettering! *NM*
  • Very cool! *NM*
  • Love the story love the build...Double take on a few of those pictures. *NM*
  • Fun stuff Tim.
    • Like these for WSDR, out of Sterling IL. *NM* *PIC*
  • Cool story with a cool model. Was this a spontaneous build, or have you been planning it for a while? *NM*
    • Yes. No. Yes. The final inspiration came from photos that popped up last year for other stations in upper Michigan
  • Dirty whitewalls are perfect for the story *NM*
    • Thanks. You never saw bright clean white-walls back then, unless it was just scrubbed - and that was considered "detailed" back then ha *NM*
      • I remember scrubbing the whitewalls on my parents' cars with Brillo pads. *NM*
        • Me too - ! The '69 and '70 Mercs both had the factory KH Magstars. The bright machined finish spoked would chew up sponges and 9 year old knuckles *NM*
  • Pretty cool! *NM*
  • That's a hoot! *NM*
    • Loaded with facts and no-so-facts.
      • I'll never think of you the same way again.. :O)) *NM*
  • That's so cool. *NM*
  • Neat model and a cool story Tim! I have a few more of these models to build. Maybe I'll do something similar with a ficticious back story. *NM*
  • Don't forget "Pet Parade" ... a weekly on Saturdays from the local shelter .... or Sunday services from Our Lady of Tremendous Agony

      • Falcon you have mail. *NM*
        • Frank, I'm sending you an email with a screenshot of what I see. *NM*
      • Your email in your profile shows up for me. Right below your name. *NM*
        • HMMM... I just saw it was in my profile but I think it use to show on my post. Thanks for the update and looking out to me. *NM*
          • I was fooling around with my profile earlier and it didn't show up so it must have worked while I was gone. Thanks *NM*
      • Frank, your email shows in your profile, [email protected]. *NM*
  • I had to run out this afternoon so I brought the seats with me and put them in the mail this afternoon. *NM*
    • Re: Thanks Frank let me know if you ever need something *NM*
      • Welcome *NM*
• Basic with big block... oh yeah! *NM*
• 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.
    • The Facebook user interface is horrible. I still don't get why nobody fixes it. *NM*
• You could also find the build sheet under the back seat or under the carpet. *NM*

      • Usually higher trim levels (Ford F-150 in Platinum or King Ranch), 4x4s, and/or diesel-powered 3/4-tons. *NM*
        • My F-150 was...... *PIC*
• Happy Easter! *NM*

  • We cannot IMAGINE the amount of pain Jesus Christ suffered in sacrifice payment of OUR sins... *NM*
    • Most don't realize due to His Divine nature,he maintained consciousness while most would have passed out *NM*
• A question on redish plastic and red paint...I have the Johan '62 Dodge Dart in an orangeish red plastic, and if I paint Temiya red on it, will it still see the bleed thru? Thanks. *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*
