        • Toyota Su-Ki Amphibious *NM* *PIC*
• Video on the Chevrolet Vega Verti-pack rail cars. *LINK*
  • Thanks for posting. IIRC, one reason the Vega had that aluminum engine was that GM had a major aluminum casting plant that would be unused with the demise of the Corvair. Also, casting blocks w/o liners would cost less than the usual practice of steel liners. *NM*

  • Not really a fan of this type of machine but that is really something! Sort of gets to ya. *NM*
• Same here.... It definitely made a huge impression on my, then, 13 year old mind.... *NM* *PIC*
• Paging Mr. Milberry. Am I getting close to proper with this combo? *NM* *PIC*
  • Where'd you get those!? *NM*
    • Printed 'em *NM*
      • Wheels and tires? How wide and tall are they? Did you make the file yourself, or where'd you find them?

  • Ooooh Steve, that looks awesome! *NM*
  • Very fancy, Mr. Knox *NM*
• O'T: If you like O scale trains of the film Silver Streak...... *LINK*
  • Don't let it meet the fate of the movie finale! I loved that movie. It was hilarious with Wilder, Pryor, and Clayburgh and the outrageous situations... Really loved it! After the clip of your Silver Streak was one of your Turbo Train - the last run? Last as in most
  • Clever idea! *NM*
  • Pretty awesome..... And now I need to go watch the movie again! *NM*
• GOY MY DECALS.... For my "SHARKNADO" now my day is complete. PIX and thanks for looking
  • Frank, can you tell us who is making these decals for you? *NM*
    • Bruce at SMP Decals made them for me. *NM*
  • looks great *NM*
  • Great looking build. Nice job. *NM*
  • Seriously kool!!!! *NM*
  • You are a creative guy Frank. *NM*
  • Looks great and very feasible for a 1:1 version, too. Congrats! *NM*
  • "SHARKNADO" looks fantastic, great color. *NM*
• I WAS GIVEN THIS PARTICALLY... Built Pre-Painted Chevelle. I added my own flare and built it my way. PIX and thanks for looking
  • Pretty unique. Different. Looks good though. *NM*
  • So in Frank's world, it's like if GM had offered a "Mod Top" option? Interesting! *NM*
• 32 FORD BOUGHT ... then changed to my liking. I liked it so much I bought it. I ended up buying another one so I can build it from scratch and my touch. ended up buying a kit for myself. PIX and thanks for looking
  • Pretty sharp little Hot Rod. Nice touches added. *NM*
  • Jeez Frank, never thought I'd see you put whitewalls on anythng. BTW, where'd those wheels come from? Looking good! *NM*
    • You know I really don't remember what kit they came from... Got them out of my wheel parts box and used them mainly because they had metal axle holes. I wish I could remember like to have another set. *NM*
      • AMT '33 Willys *NM*
        • You may be absolutely correct, I just bought the snap kit about a month ago and I wasn't going to use the wheels in it and these were right on of the parts box. *NM*
          • Not the snapper, the AMT George Montgomery coupe (or panel). The MPC snap panel is actually a '34 (different hood side panels) *NM*
  • Nice transformation. *NM*
  • Sharp ! Excellent choice on the updates too. *NM*
• NOT BEING able to download from my camera to computer is a pain but I found a way around it until I get whatever is happening resolved... I have to send pictures to a friend of mine then he sends them back to my email. *NM*
  • Clever. Resourceful. He be thinkin'. *NM*
  • Are you not able to email them to yourself? Cut out the middle man? I mean, you could still keep him as a friend, too, you know. ;^) en he sends them back to my email. *NM*
    • I can take the picture on my phone but then I can't send it to my email from my phone. It did this about a year ago and one day it decided to work until a few weeks ago. *NM*
      • Copy that. Well, it was just a thought. *NM*
• Just watched the November Round 2 update video. Only car kit shown is a re-issue of the '80's FWD Shelby Charger. *NM*
  • Here's the link... *NM* *LINK*
    • They say in this video that they will be discussing future releases at the D.A.A.M. show this weekend...
• Frank, where is that car now?? *NM*

• John that's coming along great. *NM*
• Wow is that ever nice. What colors did you use? *NM*
  • It's a Jeep metallic burnt orange, and Vallejo off white. *NM*
• Oh Boomer. Here's what I know.
  • Thanks John. Perhaps you helped make his last few days a little brighter. *NM*
  • John, that was good of you, Boomer was into 50's & 60's aircraft, I sent him a book on the Avro Vulcan which started our conversations, I will miss his emails & board posts, he was a good friend, RIP Mate. *NM*
• I can't wait to see that at CAMS in May. *NM*
• FaceBook? I've never been a member. I don't use any social media. *NM*
  • Forums like this are part of "social media". *NM*
    • In a broader sense, I suppose, but forums like this do not exist to mine your data. Huge difference, IMHO. *NM*
    • And forums like this have been around long before "social media". *NM*
• El Camino under construction *PIC*
  • Looks great, more pix! *NM*
  • Meticulous BMF job. You must have the steadiest hands on the planet! *NM*
    • Yeah.... What he just said! *NM*
    • Yeah, it’s nice and smooth too. Not all crinkly like it usually looks. *NM*

    • It's a blackbox 572 with the cross ram intake *NM* *PIC*
      • Very nice...who/where does this come from...its a 1:1 injection setup? *NM*
        • Blackboxstl on Cults3d. I printed it. *NM*
  • VERY KOOL STUFF..... I'm digging that. I did one in same style using Foose Caddy wheels and the engine from the Boyd Che-zoom. *NM*
  • So far, looks great to me. Can't see anything needs to be done. Nice job. *NM*
  • Very nice! Did you do the side spear as one piece of BMF and then paint the stripe or as two pieces of the BMF over just the spear's metal edges on the spray painted body sides? I have a '61 Bel Air on my wish list with a similar trim spear to create although it does not
  • Ooooh, I'm liking that one, cool! *NM*
• You're really coming along! Nice work! *NM*
  • Thanks guys. Sadly, haven’t done much since. *NM*

  • My plan is to be there *NM*
  • I may head to the Olds museum in Lansing Saturday...it's only an hour away :) *NM*
  • I'll be there. *NM*
• I use it. It's a great modelling community. I prefer Instagram though. *NM*
  • YEP!!
  • Instagram is owned by Meta, Facebook's owner. Both have a lot of good model content. *NM*
    • Also, there a number of resin and 3D printing vendors that are only available through Facebook, so it's good to be on there to do business with them. *NM*
      • An IPMS chapter I'm a member of by distance (hometown club, where I don't live anymore) reently pulled the plug on its website in favor of a FB page. Don't know why yet. *NM*
• Sorry to hear this. Boomer had some great posts. *NM*
• Found an old photo. *PIC*
  • That's a cute Jeep! *NM*
• I run into those kind of people just in my daily life. *NM*
  • Good point. Lot of them around. *NM*
  • Using FB, you're inviting them into your life.... I'm much more selective than that. *NM*
• Having a senior moment here. Did anyone purchase the Galaxie tooling after Gary Schmidt passed? *NM*
  • I don't recall hearing and have wondered that myself. *NM*
  • If someone did, you would think they would have gotten some on the market. Just a thought. *NM*
    • A few LHS' have product. Someone is squeezing it... *NM*

    • Thank you very much David! *NM*
• Lordy, that's a gorgeous car. *NM*
• Sorry to hear that, didn't know him, but he was a fun member of the board. Never afraid to share his opinion, like that in a person. God's Speed Boomer! *NM*
• What settings do you recommend if someone does use Facebook? I only have actual persons I know as friends, mainly family members. I do belong to just a few groups, my old hometown history, a couple on model cars, etc. I did use marketplace to buy a bookcase
  • I can only say......... *PIC*
    • Thank you, but what is YT? *NM*
      • Sorry ....Youtube.....thx *NM*
        • Doh. I should have realized. Recently when clicking "watch on You Tube for full screen video" on a small news item, YT says they do not allow ad blockers and would not show the full screen video. I use AdBlock+. Is that just me or general policy now? *NM*
          • Seems to be general policy now. *NM*
    • I love Facebook for model sites, no personal info and I've never been hacked, on FB for over 20 years! *NM*
      • I do not understand why so many people think 'hacking' is such a risk on FB.......
• Enjoy? Yep, I always enjoy your randomness series. Thanks! *NM*
• Frank, I hope you can pass the link to these responses to his family. They should know how much we cared and were glad to have made his acquaintance here on the board and will miss his contribution to the friendliness we enjoy here. May he rest in peace. *NM*
  • Amen. *NM*
  • Bill thanks ..... I don't know how to do that but I'll ask Marty to help me. Thanks *NM*
• You shrunk a SEMA build to 1/25 scale, wow! *NM*
