• Yeah, it's diecast but I couldn't resist. Advertised as 1/24. Comes in preassembled or unassembled versions from Maisto #39535 (unassembled). Opening doors but fixed hood and tailgate so no engine. .....PIC
  • When DC is only option.....I go with it. *NM*
    • I agree Dave, some cool and different die cast out there! *NM*
    • Me too. That's why I have so many 1/25 diecasts which have never been available as kits. Most of my diecasts are 1/25 with a few 1/24. Small sampling inside........PICS
• ATTN Ray Gallant. You have mail.😎 *NM*

  • Absolutely gorgeous replica, Gary.... I was lucky enough to see the 1:1 recreation, of the the first version, in action at the Meltdown drag, back in 2018..... *PIC*
    • Nice pictures, Marty (as usual!) *NM*
  • SO SO SO nice... Love those kind of builds *NM*
  • Nice work! Can you post a pic showing the rear? Wondering what the difference is in the bumpers. *NM*
    • Rear bumpers
      • Thanks Gary! Appreciate the pics and info. *NM*
• On the Bench.. doing a build for a friends 70 nova........pics
  • Off and running.... said it before and I'll say it again, Love those kind of builds. *NM*
  • Good work. The devil is in the details *NM*
• I wanted to suggest a couple things about selling on Ebay.
  • Sounds logical....but I'd run it by a CPA to see if the IRS will trust your estimates......
    • For someone thinning out a personal collection, their own numbers should be good. If you are buying and reselling, you"d better have paper to back up your numbers *NM*
      • And, keep track of ALL expenses including use of your vehicle for post office trips. How far it is to nearest PO, there and back, and document everything *NM*
        • Yes, mailing boxes, bubble wrape, everything. But I will show a $100 profit even if no profit exists. Call it blood money or whatever. *NM*
          • Good idea! *NM*
    • I'll take my chances. An hour of CPA advise would wipe out any profit. *NM*
  • The day the IRS has the manpower to come after folks like us is the day this country is bankrupt beyond all reason (NOT political, just fact). *NM*
    • That day may not be that far away. Fact, not political. *NM*
      • And I have to agree with you too. *NM*
    • Agreed! *NM*
    • Look to the BBB Plan.....thriple the number of IRS Audit personnel.......again just facts. *NM*
      • I agree, Dave. let's just hope they get hired AND the Ways & Means Committee funds them. *NM*
    • Do you suppose you guys could discuss your politics somewhere else? I don't care what "side" you're on, I don't want to hear either. That's not what this for. Wanna talk politics, take it somewhere else. *NM*
  • It is different in Canada...
    • That settles it. I'm just gonna have to keep all my stuff till I die. I don't care what happens to it after that... lol *NM*
• On the bench! This is a bunch of parts lying around that just needed to get together. A frame scratch built by a friend intended for a twin engine setup and an Allison engine I got somewhere.
  • Way cool! *NM*
    • Way, Thanks! *NM*
  • Oh... nice! *NM*
    • Thank you. *NM*
  • I love seeing extra parts thrown together to create something cool and unique! *NM*
    • Thank you very much!! *NM*
• Photo's from the past...1978. enjoy
  • I nearly trade my Force 440 until I realized it was a two door police car. *NM*
  • enjoy I did Thanks RS!!! I would like to see the 1/16 chevy p up,black magic FC, jeep cj5 and many more!!!! *NM*
  • Still working on a time machine. I'll let you all use it when I'm done. LOL. *NM*
  • That so-called '28 Ford P/U looks a lot more like a '30-'31. Not even a '28. *NM*
    • Yeah, when released that actually turned out to be the '29 roadster pickup from the old Wild Ones woody / roadster pickup kit.... Though with a small block Chevy in place of the flathead...... Would have much rather gotten the 30 / 31 closed cab pickup!!! *NM*
  • I'll take a Dodge Warlock.... Lil Hustler Datsun ... and a Street Shark Vette, please!!!! *NM*
• Period perfect street machine! *NM*
• Ebay question : If using their new "Managed Payments", can you make full or partial refunds as easily and quickly as you could with PayPal? I'm thinking about selling on Ebay again. I've been away from it for a year or so. *NM*
  • Selling has changed a lot.....plus a new IRS rule.
    • Thanks. I was aware of some but not all of what you said. I have mixed feelings about doing Ebay again. Still have stuff to clear out but don't need a hassle over "income". Thanks again. *NM*
    • Wow Dave, that makes me very hesitant to sell on ebay anymore. 2021 I sold well over that amount worth but that includes a bunch of freight too and very little profit. It was nice to thin the herd a bit though! *NM*
      • One thing I think.....In person show will be on the up swing! *NM*
    • Dave, you are a font of misinformation. *NM*
      • Let me know where....here or e-mail me....
      • Ok... *NM* *LINK*
    • I predict the death of virtually ALL private selling on Ebay, only businesses will remain. Not just models, everything. *NM*
  • I've sold on Ebay for about 25 + years and canceled my ebay selling acct and all auctions Dec 30, 2021. For all the exact reasons Dave said. Dave I for one am glad you put it out there. Anyone can do an internet search and see that you are spot on. Nice try John!!!!! *NM*
    • I am not trying to stir trouble........
      • Re: I am not trying to stir trouble........
        • That is state SALES tax that is collected, not your INCOME tax. *NM*
        • My kids gifted me $400 "spending cash" for Christmas by depositing it in my Paypal acct. They forgot to click on family member rather than goods and service. Aprox 30 seconds later I received an email from paypal requesting I update my tax ID number! *NM*
      • Thanks for giving me enough info to look into it myself. *NM*
  • Yes Just seen a show on this,If you sell stuff and use electronic payment the Gov will track it. Be it yardsales, craftshows, online. Thats what 5G is going to bring us. *NM*
  • I do not see how gross receipts could be categorized as "income". Assuming the intermediary - ebay or paypal or other - collects out any sales tax, the gross merchandise payment is still not all income. Income is only the amount in excess of cost for the seller. I know
    • Sounds like it's the record-keeping, reporting, and having to show costs that might be a problem. Sounds like you'll have to document your costs and expenses more than I'd care to, since I'm just wanting to clear closets of old stuff I've accumulated. *NM*
      • One CPA kinda admitted it will require an accountant to get things filed......
      • Yeah, and how many folks have records of costs of old stuff they have had for years and are selling at garage sale prices bringing even less than they are marked as the day(s) of the sale winds down? I have that problem with MANY books I could sell. I bought a few at full
        • Exactly. A few items might sell for more than original cost, but most won't. I just want stuff to go to a good home where it might be useful. Don't want to make it a job or business. *NM*
        • How do you prove today that I bought a mint 1969 AMTronic kit at Toledo for $100???
          • The IRS is dumb for collectibles and the penny ante things we trade...
            • I've had more grief from (NY) state tax people over the years than IRS. Bunch of little Napoleons trying to sink their hooks into every available cent *NM*
  • This post may not be popular, but you always had to pay income taxes on yard sales, ebay sales, bartering, etc.. Most people don't but with the technology today maybe they can. Don't forget that there is probably at least a billion dollars in sales that happen on ebay during
    • We’ll Rich if that’s the way it will be I will stop selling on eBay because it’s not worth the trouble. I’ll still buy but will sell somewhere else if at all. *NM*
• Remember these places, they were everywhere in the 60 and 70's. As for me it reminds me of Myers drug store in my home town of Fairmont, West Virginia. What was your favorite place that had models where you lived? *NM* *PIC*
  • Re: Remember these places, they were everywhere in the 60 and 70's. As for me it reminds me of Myers drug store in my home town of Fairmont, West Virginia. What was your favorite place that had models where you lived?
  • There was a hobby shop I'd ride my bike to that was quite a few miles away.......(More)
  • My go to place in the mid 60's was the upstairs hobby shop run by the local pharmacy, located at the bus stop that I'd use every day from school, I can still recall AMT,Revell,Monogram & those Johan & Renwall classic car kits that spiked my interest in 1:1 old cars. *NM*
  • After 60 years in business, this great place is closing in a few weeks. Amotos, in New Britain, CT. *PIC*
    • Re: After 60 years in business, this great place is closing in a few weeks. Amotos, in New Britain, CT.
    • You can thank all the mail order places for that ....Re: After 60 years in business, this great place is closing in a few weeks. Amotos, in New Britain, CT. *NM*
      • Not this place, as their business was still good, and they had an online presence. Owners could not find anyone in, or out, of their family who wanted to take it over. Sold building to a condo developer for big $$$. Owners are just retiring. *NM*
    • In our home town it was Bashford's Sporting Goods. The store had every kind of sports equipment and a full service camera department, plus a model shop located in the basement....more...
  • In 1958...
  • Hey Marty. Remember Brooks Drugs, basement? Or Dave's Toys and Hobbies? Long ago, far away. *NM*
    • Yep... I discovered Brook's / Dave's shortly after moving to Dixon in early '85. *NM*
  • We used to hang out at Harry Chapmans department store in Kincardine in the early 60's. Inside the front door was a whole rack of comic books and the back wall was full of model kits. he sucked up a lot of my lawn mowing money. *NM*
  • For me it was Ridgewood Variety in East Moline, IL... This was in the early '70's, and Dad would take me there every couple of weeks (we lived 25 miles away).... During the summer of '79, I discovered Leisure Time Hobbies, also in East Moline...
  • Probably for me either Ben Franklin or the local H.E.B. grocery store. There was also a third place in town called Perry's, another five and dime store. *NM*
  • Sage's Toys, Arcade Hobbies and ABC Union Store, Riverside, Ca. *NM*
    • Arcade Hobbies was awesome. They had stuff going back to Revell and Monogram flatboxes and annual back to 1960 at box price. In about 74 I filled my 66 Mustang up to the point I could barely move the shifter, then went back around 6 weeks later and did the same. There was
      • The hobby shop on Magnolia close to Arlington, IIRC, was Harper's Hobbies. I bought a lot of Jo-Han..
  • Dallas, TX: Sherman's Lakewood Hobbies. Was always hard to carry kits home on my bike. *NM*
  • Let's see now...
• Matt and Dawn, are you going to set up a pre-order for the Moebius 64 & 65 Novas? I want to get my order in so I don't miss out :-) *NM*
  • This current system is unable to do preorders, we will have them available the day we get them. I will post here on the board when they are coming and when they arrive. We'll post updates as we know more. *NM*
    • I've often wondered if people back out of their preorders, or is that even possible? If you've prepaid, can you ask to cancel? (personally, never done it and wouldn't). Maybe one might do it for a $$$ preorder?Just wondering.
    • Okay, that is cool. I'm on the board most every day so I should see your message. Thanks. *NM*
• Long shot resin/3d printed question......
  • No, but headers for small block Chevys fit pretty good, sometimes even on the big Mopars. They have the correct port spacing. *NM*
  • And if you're looking for Hemi headers, well, there are tons of headers for them in all kinds of kits, plug big block Chevy's (or most other engines with equally-spaced ports) usually fit too. *NM*
    • Thanks for the tip! There are several SBC headers in scale and 3d print. I am too lazy to bend a set up from solder lol *NM*
• PIF: 3 more parts boxes of misc. parts. Pls. reply here. Want to send to different people than the last batch, please.
  • Me please! *NM*
    • Sure. Send me an address. *NM*
      • Re: Sure. Send me an address.
        • Got it. *NM*
  • Me please. *NM*
    • OK. Send an address. Should go out later today. *NM*
      • Done via email. *NM*
        • Rec'd OK. *NM*
  • Since you have three and only have gotten rid of two, I'll take the last one please. *NM*
    • OK- send an address. *NM*
      • Done, via email. Thanks. *NM*
        • Got it. *NM*
  • Thank you Bill Got my surprise parts box today! *NM*
    • Hope you got something you can use! *NM*
• Squirrel!!!! *PICS*
  • Tons tastier.. *NM*
  • Not a Squirrel but a company did make Bear wheels at one time :-) *PIC*
    • There is a gentleman out of the Ukraine making those teddy bear wheels in resin. *NM*
    • Back when I had my Neon, I wanted a set for it. *NM*
• Hey Frank LaQue, I sent you an email about the 55 T-Bird Funny Car you are working on. *NM*
  • Thanks very much *NM*
• Old-tool Revell '57 Chevy Bel Air hardtop... ***PICS***
  • Those wheels look great on your very nice build. *NM*
  • Nice builds on both of those 57's! *NM*
  • Those old Revell 57 Chevies hold a warm place in my heart. I don't know how many of those tri-fives I "tried" to build as a kid and just couldn't get the doors to hang right, or the trunk to work. Yours looks really good. Except for the front fenders those 57s look pretty
  • Real sweet, Don. Love those old Revell kits--beyond my ability to finish, though. *NM*
  • Great! That drag car is one of my favorites. *NM*
  • That turned out really nice. Black with red & black interior is a nice combo *NM*
  • What makes it an old tool? Atlantis has an old 1957 Revell kit listed in their upcoming kits.
    • Yes, Revell did three "new tool" 57s. The 150 black widow, 2 door sedan belair, and the belair convertible. The "old tool" 57 was created back in the early 60s and that is the one Atlantis has. *NM*
      • There is also the "new" SnapTite Bel Air hardtop the was first released around 1999. *NM*
        • I did not include the snap kit because it was in 1999. The others were released in 2009 (BW) 2011 2 dr sedan, 2013 convertible. I think the snap kit from 1999 was based on the 55-56 kits from 1989 or so. But I am not an expert on this. *NM*
  • Wow, Don! I didn't think it was possible to make that ol' kit look this good. You sir, are a steely-eyed missile man. *NM*
    • Thanks for all the comments! *NM*
  • Nice work Don, polishing the plastic is a nice alternative isn't it...BTW keep up the good work in Collectible Auto, thanks. *NM*
  • Looking good Don!! *NM*
  • Having never had that kit in my collection before you made it look terrific Don! *NM*
  • Way cool.... You absolutely nailed the 80's street cruiser vibe!!! I want to find a set of those wheels for my Revell '83 Cutlass. *NM*
    • Marty, I have a set of those wheels from the kit he mentioned. If you're interested in them, they're yours. *NM*
  • Very nicely done!!! *NM*
  • Sweet pair of 57s!!! *NM*
• The kitbash goes easy if you have the annuals -
• The beautiful more-doors are overlooked classics *NM*
• If any of the R2 Kats are listening, those dirt track tires from the kits are gold, and would be a great parts pack *NM*
• Marty asked for more pictures of my '50 Ford Convertible custom.
  • Yeah a lot of work but well worth it cause it came out great! *NM*
  • Yeah buddy!!!!! That looks awesome!!!! Great work involved and glad ya began work on it again to finish it!!! *NM*
  • Captures the 50's Kustom look and also the "use every part in the box" look, too! Love how it turned out. *NM*
  • Very cool and I just LOVE posts like this where builders share progress pics! *NM*
  • That is one wild custom... Looks like it could have rolled out of the Barris shop right around 1960 or so.... I really like the taillight treatment.... Also, IMHO, it looks best without the roof. *NM*
  • I don't normally like Kustoms but this thing is AWESOME!! Nice work! *NM*
• Train pic with a car in it... *PIC*
• 1957 Chevrolet Nomad . . . *PIC*
  • Beautiful build. Love the color. It's great that you went the extra mile to make the interior correct. *NM*
  • Very nice! Any photos of your interior? *NM*
    • Interior *NM* *PIC*
  • Fantastic build! *NM*
  • Is it still available? A bit surprised that Revell has not pursued this with their excellent new-tool '57
    • I just checked their website and it is listed as out of stock *NM*
  • Sweeeet! *NM*
  • Absolutely GORGEOUS!! 😍😍 I have this kit and yes, this is the best one I’ve seen out there. 👍🏾 *NM*
  • Beautiful work! *NM*
  • That is one sweet Nomad, gorgeous! *NM*
  • Great looking Nomad. On a posting above I was talking about the 57 Nomads and yours is fantastic! Did you use the Revell Nomad rear bumper on this build? *NM*
    • The kit comes with an unplated wagon bumper. The Revell Nomad bumper didn't fit that well . . . *PIC*
  • Crisp. accurate detailing--you didn't blow off the little stuff. Outstanding build. *NM*
  • Very nice Gary!! *NM*
  • NICE!!!! *NM*
  • Beautiful! *NM*
  • Great build... *NM*
  • Man is that a looker! Very nice work! *NM*
  • She sure is pretty. Nice work creating a factory replica. *NM*
  • Thank you for all the nice comments. *NM*
• I expect better decals and perhaps tires too. *NM*
• Perfect opportunity for the aftermarket to shine, here...
• here is one Mustang I finished up last fall (PICS)
  • Nice build. I like the color and all that rubber out back! *NM*
    • Kind of went for the gold Mustang notch that Varley drove on early street Outlaws. This car just had to be orange lol. *NM*
  • Nice build! *NM*
    • Thanks buddy. I tried to actually complete one for a change. *NM*
  • Looks mean! I like it! *NM*
    • Thanks. Wish I had this as a real car. *NM*
  • Very Nice! *NM*
    • Thank you. *NM*
• Interview with Jim Keeler on YouTube...
  • Very cool! Thanks *NM*
  • Cool Daddy-O !!! *NM*

• Neat restomod there Dave! *NM*
• Old Photo: 1950 Mack *PIC*
  • That would make a great model! *NM*
  • That's when trucks were trucks. Awesome! *NM*
  • Check out AITM. They might have the beginning of one in their collection of resin castings. *NM*
    • For those that haven’t heard, AITM has been sold to the owners of Keystone. *NM*
  • No GPS or dual zone climate control... bet there's no Bluetooth or side blind zone alert, either *NM*
    • ;^) *NM*
• I just emailed you the unraveling the snake pit article from 1969 enjoy *NM*
• Bobby, I do like the build but can you tell me how it's been improved over the AMT '69 kit? *NM*
  • I can only speak my opinion. The Revell kit is far better detailed as far as chassis, suspension, interior and engine than the AMT kit. I am going to build a 70 and 72 Chevelle, I'm only using the AMT bodies. Everything else will be Revell and my parts boxes. *NM*
• TheTV series is set in Montana. One of my favorite shows but I think I watched the last episode last night unless they're doing a 5th season. *NM*
  • Paramount announced they will have another season. *NM*
    • Thanks Bill. That's something to look forward to. *NM*
• Might have to try this *NM*
• Thanks from me as well, Terry. A good friend and fellow model builder spent his career with the Dayton, Ohio P.D. (mostly homicide dept.) until he recently retired. Now he has a lot of stress-free time for building! *NM*
• stopping by to say HI!!
  • We haven't forgot about you, thoughts and prayers being sent your way. *NM*
    • Thanks buddy. *NM*
  • Prayers sent from Huber Heights, Ohio for you and your family. *NM*
    • Thank you. *NM*
  • Prayers being sent for your wifes recovery and for you to stay strong thru it all. *NM*
    • Thank you. Going to try. *NM*
  • I was just thinking about you the other day, Charlie..... Wondering where you'd been..... Sorry to hear about your wife and hope she gets better real soon..... I'll be sure to add a prayer for the two of you. *NM*
    • Thanks buddy. We need all the prayers we can get. Its been 6 weeks now and she is still not doing good. Its just one day at a time.
• Which chassis was used under the old AMT Edsel 'FUNNY CAR' gasser like kit??? Thanks *NM*
  • The Edsel shared the chassis with the AWB Chevelle and Cutlass kits.... As I recall, that chassis was then reworked for use in the Boss Nova Chevy II wagon kit. *NM*
    • I tripped over a Chevelle AFX several years ago -
• Wow...those guys that make exclusively NASCAR kits are really stepping up their game. Some of their product is sold here as well...So don't jump on me!! *NM*
  • Speaking of "those guys that make exclusively NASCAR kits"... Any word on the modified kit they're suppose to be working on? *NM*
    • The modified kits are being sold exclusively through another on-line retailer, and won't be available through the company's website. *NM*
    • They say they are still working on it.....NEXT GEN Cup kits got moved in front of it. *NM*
• Slot car racing on Batman TV series from the ‘60s. 4 lanes of action! *LINK*
  • I kind of like the tin fire trucks om the back wall *NM*
  • Looks like the old Revell Set with Corvette's and Ferrari's... *NM*
• Yes. According to George Toteff, he didn't want to just reissue the same kit as AMT, so they modified the tool to produce the Woody/Pickup. I asked specifically, and he told me that the tool for the sedan body was essentially destroyed in the process. *NM*
• Just too cool, Gary. Perfect period color combo, clean build. *NM*
• Careful, Boom, careful... *NM*
  • Who or whom have I offended, and how? Jump in there, Ken. By the way, as Nick and I discussed last year. I don't discuss politics OR religion, as I don't know enough of either, to put up any kind of discussion or argument. Think about this,
• Bill Hadley, received my PIF "little box of parts" today. Holy smokes, what a pile...lots of useful stuff in there. Thank you so much for your generosity. *NM*
  • You're welcome! *NM*
    • I received mine today, as well.... LOTS of good stuff..... I thank you!!!! *NM*
      • I was hoping the parts would be useful to someone. I hate to throw stuff away! *NM*
• Nice work converting to a conv. What did you use for the top down cover? *NM*
  • Thanks to you and others for comments. It came from my convertible boot box so don't have a clue! *NM*
• Great work. Love how you did the cab. *NM*
• That's gonna be neat when done. *NM*
• Spirit was willing but the tooling was weak -
  • Figured it was something like that. Would have been a slam dunk IMHO. *NM*
• Revell 1/4 scale Slant Six....... *LINK*
  • Cool video. Steve Magnante is a great car guy and model enthusiast. *NM*
  • That was fun! *NM*
  • Great video, I wonder if the tool for the engine kit still exists?...being a mopar moron I'd love one.....lol... *NM*
    • atlantis has the other Revell engine tooling.....no word on the Slant at this time. It'd be a $$$ kit if they did. *NM*
      • But I think I'd still have to have one! Had the original one but my painting/ assembly skills weren't there yet. LOL. *NM*
        • Right.....if Atlantis MSRP is $80.....still cheap compared to vintage kits. *NM*
          • I'd be all over it, I wasn't allowed to build models the last time it was out. ;) *NM*
            • I'd buy one of those, as long as it was *NM*
              • under $100. *NM*
  • That's great! *NM*
  • That's been one of my holy grails for many years. It's a shame they go for such huge money these days. I'd love to see it reissued. *NM*
• You mean the guys with the money who have to fund it - those obfuscationists? *NM*
  • The guys leaving money on the table by ignoring Mopars and other makes. *NM*
• It started life as the '66 annual. Current kit has nice decals for doing a true Eliminator FC
• Which kit offered the green Camaro lower door panels? *NM*
  • AMT 1970 Baldwin Motion Camaro. One release was molded in green. *NM*
• Hot Curl had a girlfriend, brother and dog in model kits, too *NM* *LINK*
  • Wow. Didn't know that. Wonder if they sold any? LOL. *NM*
• I was his Chryser Service & Parts District Manager for 3 years, learning who the real Norm Kraus was.
  • Fast Eddie didn't get his nickname from cutting the best short times... *NM*
    • I don't know anythimng about him, but I do know too much about Norm Kraus, unfortunately. *NM*
      • To get blown out by Chrysler - that would take some doing *NM*
• My apologies to BestModelCarParts... I LOVE their products... *NM*
• Perfect street muscle look *NM*
• Good start on another stunner *NM*
• Sounds like quite a history. Neat people. *NM*
• Yes. No. Yellowstone ( a pile of Hollywood fantasy) is referring to the Park, not the County. *NM*
• Lots of snow and -20° in sunny Wisconsin today *NM*
• I love seeing this kind of workmanship! *NM*
• Don't know how this got by me.... BUT what a beautiful build. *NM*
• WOW, that is some precise cutting..... You have great vision. *NM*
• Yes I am interested in this kind of stuff, please keep posting. Looks great so far! *NM*
• Photo's from the past...enjoy
  • Cool pictures, what IS that creature in the mailbox? Great assortment and variety of cool stuff! *NM*
    • I don't know what it is either, but I hope it's Photoshopped! *NM*
    • Looks like a baby Dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park. *NM*
  • Wow, that telephone stand is the exact one my grandma had when I was a kid. Thanks for that great memory. *NM*
  • Great memories for myself and great pictures..... I see you have good taste as well. Thanks *NM*
    • Re: I even fixed the SAE typo.. *NM*
  • Always thought those frilled lizards were cool. Must have something against the mail carrier. *NM*
  • The Monkeemobile sat in front of Dean Jeffries' shop for years, visible from the Hollywood freeway. Picture brings back a lot of memories. *NM*
  • Great pics RS, re the lizard, its a Frilled Neck Lizard, 25yrs ago we had one on our fence, about 20" long, caught it & released in the local bush away from people. *NM*
  • Hey... I made RS's picture show!!!! Question.... Is that wild little shoebox sled one of your builds???? If so, please, show us more pics of it!!!! *NM*
    • Re: yes sir it is one of my creations. *PIC*
  • Thank you for sharing the PICS! *NM*
  • Thanks for the great pics RS! *NM*
• A nice example at the link! :) *NM* *LINK*
• I enjoyed the Cars series of cartoon movies, and I appreciate your take on it. I hadn't thought of it from this angle.
• It appears to be that way *NM*
• I remember the plastic model but never knew there was a story behind it. You can learn a lot here on the board! Thanks for posting. *NM*
