• OT: While I've not been working on models of late, I have acquired a new toy. (PICS)
  • Wrong color but Boy! Congratulations! *NM*
• Don't suppose anyone has the wheelie bar setup from the OGM blue Malco Mustang they are not using?.....lol....I'd be real interested in it......contact me off the board. *NM*
• O/T: Seen while in Charlotte....... *PIC*
  • DROOL!! *NM*
  • I would never park something that nice so close in. *NM*
    • And next to the shopping cart corral. *NM*
      • Yeah, that too! LOL. *NM*
      • If you have to park "close", that's probably the best place. Anyone who is courteous enough to put the cart there (instead of just pushing it aside) will actually put the cart IN the corral *NM*
        • And I know some folks can't walk in from the back forty where I park. I'm thankful I still can *NM*
• This picture from JKDs post below... is the bed a short bed? Also, would it be the same length as a Bronco of the same year? *PIC*
  • That looks a lot like this kit - *PIC*
    • Oops the silver one is 1/24, the yellow one says 1/25, so probably two different kits. *NM*
  • I vaguely recall it having plastic tires, shortbed, and a one or two piece bed at that. Might be snap. *NM*
    • That's an old Revell snapper. Never had one so I can't say how good/bad it might be *NM*
• Car show pics.... *LINK* *PIC*
• XACTO BLADE UPDATE: X611 X-LIFE, bought 'em. $32.97 for 100pc. www widgetsupply.com Wrapped in coated brown paper--wiped blade with lacquer thinner to get rid of coating. *NM*
  • Been using scalpels for 15+ years. These blades slice like scalpels, but don't "flex" under pressure like the thinner scalpel blades do. Got 'em in 2 days (but then I live real close to Albany). *NM*
    • I used scalpels for a while.....have a REAL PRETTY scar on my palm, 2 inches, to prove it!! *NM*
      • LOL Dave those things are dangerous. I know this from first HAND experience. I will only use them for decals or BMF. *NM*
  • Took me 23 years to go through my first box of those! Much better deal than buying the little refills at a store. *NM*
  • Each blade is individually wrapped? *NM*
    • No, all wrapped together in coated, brown paper. They stick together--why I wiped with lacquer thinner. *NM*
      • The sticking together part: I've cut myself getting them apart. LOL. *NM*
• Friday Evening Randomness..... ENJOY!!!! *PICS*
  • Nice variety.Thanks for posting. *NM*
  • Wow--what a spectacular group of photographs! *NM*
  • Some cool pics. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that black Dodge P/U has Ford rear fenders on it...which is what I'd do. *NM*
    • The entire bed on that is Ford. *NM* *PIC*
      • I LIKE it!! *NM*
  • Coffin-roof Cadillac and the red Impala for the win, great pixs *NM*
  • I want that 73 Montego!!!!!!! *NM*
  • I'll bet the yellow Chevy wagon has surprised a few people! *NM*
  • I really like Bills Bugatti... *NM*
• Has the Revell 2020 C8 Corvette been moved to May 2024? I saw a pre order on a website that gave this date? *NM*
  • That may be the second version. They appear to be doing both body styles *NM*
    • I hope that is the case. But I can't find anything on the 2023 release which was around this time. *NM*
    • You'll have to excuse my ignorance but are there 2 different 2020 Corvette bodies?...have any kits been released as yet? *NM*
      • Coupe and convertible, plus an "e" version with electric motors driving the front wheels. No kits released yet as far as I know *NM*
• Opinions needed. The surface of my diorama is covered with a concrete floor decal. I want to put an asphalt decal on the left for a car and some parts. This is the largest asphalt decal avail. Is having concrete behind the asphalt a real world occurrence? ........ *PIC* ....
  • Looks like you are starting a garage diorama of sorts.
    • The asphalt is on the outside of the building. The asphalt is an outside lot where a car will be sitting. In between the 2 walls is the inside garage area. *NM*
  • Never mind. The more that I look at this piece of so called asphalt print, the less it looks like asphalt. I'll find another material to use that'll cover the whole area on the left side of the building. *NM*
    • Try laying down a piece of fine grit black or gray sandpaper. It would be about the right scale at 800 grit. *NM*
      • Second the "sandpaper as asphalt" comment. Even a 1000 or 1200 grit would look like smoother finish coat asphalt *NM*
  • For asphalt I have used sand paper painted flat black or dark grey. That gives you the texture. *NM*
  • I've used sandpaper for asphalt too. Would like to know where you got the floor decal? *NM*
• I want opinions on this test. *1 IMAGE*
  • Grey, for sure. *NM*
  • Gray. But wouldn't the color between the treads be the same color as the sidewall since only the tread touches the road? *NM*
    • Kinda depends what you're driving on. At home, I guarantee there's some red clay between the tread on my tires. *NM*
      • Understood. I guess if the tire is on a gravel road, the tread and in between the treads would be the same color. *NM*
      • Sounds like there are lots of options, depending upon what surface you are driving on, how old the tires are, etc.
  • Grey has a better affect, John. OR brush tread with Comet cleanser on a toothbrush like we used to do years ago before panel line stuff--really gets between the treads. *NM*
  • Paint the tread flat black, making sure to get inside all the grooves. Then sand the tread untill all the paint is removed from the protruding "tread". Gets rid of the glossy finish usually seen between the treads. *NM*
• Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
  • That Duster with the Centerline wheels is simply yummy!!!!! Takes me back to Friday nights, cruising 23rd Avenue in Moline, back in the early 1980's. *NM*
    • Same here, plus the jacked-up white Swinger. But on the Berlin Turnpike (Connecticut). It was wild. *NM*
  • The stance on that blue (turquoise?) GTX with the red lines is just bitchin!' *NM*
• I know Charlie says I don't need tape but I do. *5 IMAGES*
  • Tape's ok, John. You can peel off the template easy after the cuts are made. Gluing it down would not be good. 8^( *NM*
  • Got your work cut out for you. I'd be using tape, too. *NM*
• Boom! ;). *11 IMAGES*
  • Wonder what 'Newly Tooled Parts' are in that Ranch Wagon? *NM*
    • Wheels, maybe? *NM*
      • And custom grill?? *NM*
    • The only new parts I want to see on a 57 Ford wagon is a bed on the back. LOL. Where's my Ranchero? *NM*
      • Same here! *NM*
        • X2!! *NM*
      • Got Xacto? Bet it would bash with the ancient '57 multi part for the rear window plug and surround
    • Based on the illustration, I'm seeing new wheels, lowered suspension and smooth bumpers. *NM*
  • I think, the Firebird is the only kit to have headers for my GTO builds. *NM*
    • Those headers fit most Olds, Buick, and small block Chevys. And most big/small Mopars too (usually). They should be reproduced in resin. I know I'd buy a bunch of them. *NM*
      • HMMM. Never thought about the Buick. Thanks! *NM*
  • I tell ya, Revell has been rocking the boxart for sometime now. *NM*
  • Ya'll DO know that Flintstone does have 57 Ranchero bodies? Two different ones? Just sayin *NM*
• Just saw a pic of the box art of a new AMT '59 Caddy Ambulance (I assume it's the Ghost Busters Caddy) with a newly tooled Gurney. *NM*
  • Speaking of Gurney, heard the Gurney Lotus is being reissued. *NM*
    • I think that one has been out for a while now *NM*
      • Just checked and its listed here, that one snuck by me. *NM*
  • Re-tooled as a real ambulance. Long thread with photos on the MCM Forum. *NM*
• Yikes Dave! Glad you're ok! Travel safe!. *NM*
• I see Revell will do 3 'Stranger Things' TV cars in 2024....
  • PS they Blazer is a new tool too! *NM* *PIC*
    • Ignore random pic......can't delete it at times *NM*
      • Random pic of 2 cool Mopars! 👍👍 *NM*
    • That's a strange looking Blazer!! LOL!! *NM*
    • I've been considering doing a few of the cars from Stranger Things. Billy's Camaro, Joyce's Pinto, and Hopp's Blazer would be the first I can think of. *NM*
• Confirmation of Moebius Kit News....
  • Finally, I wake up and log on to the internet to find some good news! Great to hear and hoping for great things from both subjects *NM*
  • Great news. It always takes years for Modebius to kick out a new kit but it's always worth the wait.
  • Fleetside, or stepside?? *NM*
    • If they do what they did with the Fords, I'm sure there will be both, short and long, 6 and V8, 2 wheel drive and 4X4, Chev and GMC! I can't wait to get a bunch of those! *NM*
  • That's great to hear Tim. Thanks! *NM*
  • Thank you sir.... Both in my interest gage and very much looking forward to the release. *NM*
  • Both are seriously overdue in the scale world, especially with how easy it will be to kitbash them. Looking forward to them. *NM*
  • WOO HOO! Go Moebius! Yeah, I'm excited for both of those announcements. 😁 *NM*
• Thanks Scott Liggett parts came yesterday *NM*
  • You're very welcome. Enjoy and post pics of what you do with them. *NM*
• Progress on the diorama. I'm still waiting on some items. The white car will be on asphalt. I need more block wall decals for the walls. I'm disappointed in some of the items in the garage. They're made by Fujimi and a lot of them are too small. ........ *PICS* .....
  • Looking good. The only thing that bothers me are the yellow lift arms on the Snap-on lift. They look very toy like. *NM*
    • While on display at shows, there'll be a car on the lift which will hide most of the arms. I'll probably try to paint them anyway. Everything in the garage needs to be painted and assembled. *NM*
      • I’m sure it’ll look great once you’re done with it. *NM*
  • Interesting what you said about Fujimi. I have LOTS of Fujimi tools & accessories. They're ALL 1/24 and neve seemed too small. *NM*
  • Nice floor and walls. You'll have fun with this. *NM*
  • Very cool project Scott! I've been wanting to do something vlike that for a long time but space constraints keeps me from even starting it. Some day, sigh... *NM*
• Speaking of talking yourself into something... *PIC*
  • That parts count is insane. Good luck with that. *NM*
  • That interests me but I have plenty of other projects and the 'Nam era gun truck. *NM*
  • Ahhhhh!!! Wrong scale again!!!! 8^)) *NM*
    • A lot of car modelers build 1/32 kits and have for decades. 1/35 is not much different than those. (if you like 1/32) *NM*
      • 1/32 was a long time established scale...then along comes Tamiya to fit their boxes or whatever their reason(s) was. *NM*
• My Award ... Need to click on photo
  • it was the best in that class *NM*
  • Your diorama is very impressive! Three photos of it on my Facebook page. *NM*
  • Amazing display of talent and imagination. The amount and types of detail are terrific. Congrats on your award! *NM*
  • THAT IS EXTREMELY COOL!! *NM*
  • I'm hearing that Beach Boys song, for sure. *NM* *LINK*
    • Yes, Bill. I liked listening to the Beach Boys among with many other talented musicians *NM*
  • Didn't get a chance to say Congratulations, Curb! Good seeing you and Craig again, albeit very briefly. *NM*
    • Charlie, sorry I didn't get to chat with you. Always good to see you and Jeff. *NM*
  • That is very cool, congratulations! *NM*
• TEST My purchases from Classic Plastic Show
  • Neat stuff.....not seen the Mazda before......Your host sites ads were PG-13 though *NM*
    • That is a drawback for using IMGBOX. I have gotten some R rated stuff before. *NM*
      • When using IMGBOX there are ways to avoid the unwanted photos. Jus takes a little longer...PICS INSIDE
    • Your pic started opening very slowly. Stopped after about a third of the way down from the top. Waited a while, then a pop up box Sign In - Join to Comment. No ads. After Dave's comment, I am guessing it ran afoul of my Adblock Plus. *NM*
      • FYI, this is NOT a response to my post. *NM*
        • Yes, the indentions show it was my responding to curb's imgbox Test and Dave Van's response. *NM*
  • Strange, I don't see any ads *NM*
    • Any suggestions for Free posting sites? Don't want to get into any trouble *NM*
      • Not free but the least expensive Fotki level is only $2 a month. I've had it for years and I'm no where near my storage limit. *NM*
        • YEP!! just signed up for 3 more years *NM*
          • X3 *NM*
      • I've been using IMGBOX for quite some time. You just need to figure out how to deal with what's been described above.....PICS
        • Nice photos. Where are the fruits and vegetables from ? I need to find them in 1/25 scale *NM*
          • Most were made by me and ARE 1/25. *NM*
• Getting tiny small bubbles when brushing on clear acrylic (Future). Most seem to flash off, but some dry in the coating. Any way to 100% eliminate them? *NM*
  • Gently stirred, not shaken? *NM*
    • As James Bond would say…..yes! *NM*
      • No, "shaken, not stirred". *NM*
  • Wondering if a drop or two of a surfactant might persuade it to not bubble
• How do I get myself talked in to these things? ;). *3 IMAGES*
  • That's gonna be sweet! The Hurst wheels are in the '65 GTO kit, yes? *NM*
    • Thanks and they're in the '68 too. Two sets of wheels and an optional hood mounted tach. It has everything I need. *NM*
      • Two sets of stock wheels in the '68, no Hurst mags *NM*
  • Could be worse, John. You could talk yourSELF into them. *PICS*
    • ;^) *NM*
    • Still very cool ! :-) *NM*
    • That's seriously ambitious Terry. *NM*
  • Cool John! Does anyone make the graphics for that one or are you going to do your own? *NM*
    • I'm going to mask and paint the graphics on that car. *NM*
• Turns out I only need three sheets of Evergreen for the Thibault ladder. *2 IMAGES*
  • Man with a plan! *NM*
  • You may need 1 more. Two of your cutouts say to make 2 of them. *NM*
    • I know. Just haven't got around to it yet but there is space left for it. *NM*
• FINALLY GOT MY HAULER DONE... Trying to make it as flat as I can using the driveline but later project will have front wheel drive with torsion rear suspension. This isn't the car that goes on it it's just for mock up. PIX and thanks for looking
  • Turned out really nice, Frank.... So, are you going to ad a WINCH to make it easier for the wench??? 8^) *NM*
    • She rides shot gun.... *NM*
      • Just to be clear.....PICS
        • THAT'S HER! .........And that's it the same one. *NM*
  • Looks good, Frank. Also thanks for using a natural background. Really healps to make the model stand out. *NM*
  • NICE! *NM*
  • Hope you don't mind Frank. Couldn't resist some editing.....PIC😀
    • Not at all. Has to be my fat finger..... Well maybe not I think it's more a language barrier...... NO I think I just can't spell. HAHAHA *NM*
  • Looks great Frank! Are you going to the Johnstown show tomorrow? *NM*
    • Yes I will be and manning the Contest Registration table. *NM*
      • Sweet! How late can we register models? *NM*
        • Noon *NM*
• Wonder how well it would fit up into the current Duster AMT kit? *NM*
• "Just because you can...." saw a first gen Firebird on the street yesterday....4WD!! Yikes, it looked dumb, wish I'd had my phone out. *NM*
  • That brings back painful memories of this I came upon at a car show here a few years back *NM* *PIC*
    • Terry, where is "here"? *NM*
      • That show was at Seaport Village (San Diego) in 2019-I came upon it a couple more times locally after that show as well, but not recently *NM*
        • That would make sense, as I live in Redlands. *NM*
          • I've seen that car at several shows in the Inland Empire years ago. *NM*
    • Call me crazy, but I actually kind of like it. *NM*
      • Giving due props, execution was top notch and the sliver iridescent paint color looked incredible "in person" *NM*
        • I doubt if any real Corvettes were harmed in building this. It's obviously a custom body. Not your typical redneck "stick a car body on my old Jeep chassis" here. *NM*
          • Didn't know there were such things. Makes me feel a little better. But not much. *NM*
  • Probably done many years ago. If it's done right, I'd roll it *NM*
    • I'd roll it alright...over a cliff. *NM*
      • Actually, it's done pretty well, used to live in my neck of the woods...haven't seen it for a long time. *NM*
        • Think it was converted into a firebid 4x4, lol ;^) *NM*
• Len Carsner, I fixed my email problem. Please resend me the email that you tried to send yesterdy. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing you at the Danville show on Saturday ! *NM*
  • Sent again!
    • I got the email, thank you. Have fun at Akron ! *NM*
• The 60 is a “freshened” tooling, the cab and bed will be separate instead of molded together like the original. The 63 F-100 with camper is coming back too! *NM*
• Here are some photos of aged labels - '69-72 but good for modeling *NM* *LINK*
• Lightly sand it. This will remove some of the image. Then use an exacto to put a few chips around the edges. *NM*
• I see those pics. Which pic site are you using? *NM*
• No pic for me here, either. I guess Fotki is having problems. *NM*
• A search will find them in multiple count packs. *NM*
• Might depend to some degree on someone's imagination. ;^) *NM*
• Congrats to the docs for determining the cause and you for recovering so soon. Sounds pretty scary. *NM*
• Like the Ford unit. At least it is one of the later years with the Mercury style roof. Still looks to be in good shape but no telling how many miles are on it considering its duty uses. *NM*
• Sharp Cutlass! Thanks for sharing your pics. *NM*
• I agree! *NM*
• Origins of the “Ghostbusters” Caddy ambulance? Was this a new tool for the movie car? I’m thinking not, but not sure. *NM*
  • Yes, all new. *NM*
    • This was Dan Ackroyd's original concept for the car. *PIC*
      • No pic for me. It took a while for the little square pic icon to come up,too, but no pic. *NM*
      • I can see the pic now! Dan Akroyd is a multi-talented guy. Ghostbusters, Driving Miss Daisy, Blues Brothers... Had more input than just acting in them. Made the characters real. The nerdy guy, the good ol' boy, the motorhead... ;^) *NM*
        • And, don't forget, "Driving Miss Daisy".(my favorite). *NM*
  • Back in the 1980s I remember reading an article -
    • That was probably Popular Hor Rodding's project. The magazine bought a former CHP 19879/80 Dodge St. Regis patrol car, repainted it, and did some engine mods. They sold the car to Ackyrod when they were finished with it, and he sent them a thank you letter afterwards,...
      • That sounds like it! Thanks :-) *NM*
  • I've always wanted to build the model as it first appeared in the movie, before the transformation to the Ecto-1. *NM*
    • Bob, The car they show "before the transformation" was not actually used to create the finished Ecto-1, It was actually turned into the Ecto-1A for Ghostbusters 2. In short there were actually 2 ambulances shown in the first movie. *NM*
      • I didn’t know that Ron. Why was there an Ecto 1-A anyway? They didn’t wreck the car in the first movie. *NM*
        • It was part of the plot see inside..............
          • Thanks Ron. I don't think I've seen the second movie since it came out and I don't recall much about it. I LOVED the original but don't think the sequel was very good from what I recall. *NM*
            • Ecto 1.... Generations...... (I knew I had this pic somewhere in my albums) *NM* *PIC*
              • Very cool. Thanks Marty and see you tomorrow! *NM*
    • That's an excellent idea. Anyone got pics of? I've done a google search and found nothing. *NM*
      • There's a hardcover book on the Ghostbusters that covers the first three movies (the original two, and the "all-female" reboot). There are details on the Ecto-1s inside (the original ambulance was medium metallic BROWN?!?)
        • This is that book... *PIC*
      • Ken, I know I've found some pics of the battered, primered car, though I think most of them were still shots from the movie so I don't know what details you can glean from them but perhaps watching the movie would be a good start. *NM*
• Match racer... *NM*
• Amazon has them. *NM*
• Great start. If you need inspiration, the Jan/Feb '83 (also "Best of Vol 1" book and the DVD) Scale Auto had an article on 1973-era Union 76 Service Station *NM*
• Len Carsner, you sent me an email but it was too big for my inbox. Can you please resend it to me broken down into 2 or 3 separate emails please? Thanks . *NM*
  • Re: Len Carsner, you sent me an email but it was too big for my inbox. Can you please resend it to me broken down into 2 or 3 separate emails please? Thanks .
• Here is a work In Progress thread, I don't know if it'll help or not, might be what you're looking to do. *NM* *LINK*
  • Thanks, I'll check it out. You can always learn something. Sometimes, what you should do and other times what not to do. *NM*
• Perrys Resin did a really nice, but, why not use the AMT Escillade kit? *NM*
  • Just don't use the engine *NM*
• My understanding was that as the "stock" truck was based on a 1921 Oldsmobile that the hot rod engine was an Olds also, but could be wrong. *NM*
• I got my 65 chevelle alter wheel base car Funny car *NM*
• OK, so, looks like Moebius announced at the MRHSA show last week a '67/'68 Chevy C-10 pickup for late next year and apparently a '70 Maverick too !! *NM*
  • Wait! What? A Maverick!?! Really?
  • A stock Maverick? Or another race car? Just wondering. *NM*
    • Darn....and I'm trying to taper off my buying, and I want both of those. *NM*
    • My guess, based on how they have things in the past, is that eventually we'd see both stock and racing versions. *NM*
      • They were really pretty stock, save for the engine compartment mods and the rear wheelwells
        • An accurate small Ford ohv six would be nice. *NM*
          • Match the detail of the Moby I-6 and I'm over the moon - that engine is pretty much perfect *NM*
          • Copy that original kit I-6 (which all my friends scoffed at) note for note and they have it *NM*
  • yall ca thank me for the 68 chevy p/u just got 2 rebuilders brings me up to 15 67-68 chevy p/u's *NM*
    • Keep up the good work! *NM*
    • LOL..... And you can thank me for the Maverick.... I just picked up a Johan one, from the consignment section of one of the hobby shops that I frequent..... *LINK* *PIC*
    • Jack I was thinking that I needed a couple more of the 70-71 Cyclone's can you see what you can do. *NM*
  • Imagine if they announced a mid to late ‘60’s Cadillac? I think the universe would collapse. *NM*
    • Not for me, but if they announced a '7 Coupe Deville....I'd go bonkers. *NM*
      • '57...a '57 *NM*
        • Well, you can get this from Atlantis right now… *NM* *PIC*
          • That's a repop of the Revell '57 Eldo... There's so much wrong with that kit I can't begin to tell you... *NM*
            • Ray, apart from the multipiece body, whats actually wrong with it? *NM*
              • The front's a bit too short and the roof is "weird" Off somehow. But, IIRC, it was one of the first serious car kits in out scale.. *NM*
          • Now there's a kit I want to take a serious run at sometime. *NM*
          • Already got it, but it's not really what I need, or want. *NM*
      • I want a 57 Seville kit, nearly bought a RHD one, Pink with green upholstery, fast glass, triple carbs,sabre wheels but that weird rear end which I had never seen & thought it was someones butchered job...lol...I was dumb then...lol..I've got an ARII 58 Eldo half done. *NM*
  • Hmm, veddy veddy intedesting... *NM*
  • Maverick is a bit of a surprise, but hoping for good things - the Chevy is a 0.0 brainer
    • There IS a modern hot rod chassis available for that GM pickup. Don't remember who does it, but it's someone in the DFW area?
  • That Maverick should come with a Comet Grille and Taillights too.... *NM*
    • ... And hood. Would be surprised if they didn't handle it exactly like JoHan *NM*
      • Re: ... And hood. Would be surprised if they didn't handle it exactly like JoHan
    • I hope they do the Grabber hood at some point. *NM*
• Second visit to Brother's Collection in Salem Oregon *LINK* *PIC*
  • And the link to my August 2022 Visit of the whole collection *NM* *LINK*
  • Great PIX, Gerry. (We lived in Salem 40+ years, drove by the airport a gazillion times, had NO clue the collection was there...) *NM*
    • Per the Q&A session yesterday only been there since around 2015. *NM*
  • That red slab-side Cobra CSX 2416 caught my eye. Turns out it's quite a special car. *NM* *LINK*
    • Based on what little I know, they’re known for special cars *NM*
      • It sure looked that way as I paged through the pictures. *NM*
    • Someone had deep pockets! "One of the most highly optioned 289 Cobras ever with a staggering original 1964 MSRP of $8,684.05" 🤯 *NM*
  • I'd like to do the Cherokee. *NM*
  • What do the Brothers do? Takes a pretty deep checkbook to amass a collection like that *NM*
    • I would love to know the answer to that question. *NM*
      • As I understand, a variety of investments mainly real estate. Long term family business going back at least a genertion or two *NM*
        • The other Lingenfelter brother who has the massive collection in metro Detroit had the good fortune to be in the title insurance business before the Oakland County real estate boom from the '80s to now... *NM*
          • Ken Lingenfelter had sold his real estate development company, when a family member asked him for advice on "valuing" John's company.
• Personally I was going to do mine as a 3/4 straight axle conversion.. the parts can be sourced form the Deserter 4x4 or mpc 4x4. even off of the Jimmy. *NM*
• My wife pointed out that they look like a Dyson fan.... *NM*
• If we're talking Green Acres, I'd LOVE to see a kit of Oliver's "Hoyt-Glagwell" (Fordson) tractor. *NM*
• You could always get some at a Starbucks.... NO danger of possibly using GOOD coffee that way. *NM*
  • He wants to age the sticker, not seal his driveway! *NM*
    • now THAT'S funny *NM*
      • Yep, it is. And I have a Starbucks hot moca every Saturday mornings on my way to the donut shop, to assuage my sweet tooth! *NM*
  • Haha, right on. ;>) *NM*
• A lot of them were resin and were cast by various vendors. I know that Modelhaus did several. I think the '55 or '56 Pontiac Safari was one of those. *NM*
• Heck of an idea, dunno if there was ever a 4WD GMT400 kit to plotz for parts *NM*
• Perry's Resin *NM*
  • Basic, but gave the effect. *NM*
• The Wheat's Nostagia's promo was a '66. Not sure what years AMT/SMP did promos, but the annual kits were '60 through '63 *NM*
  • What year was the stillboen Accurate Miniatures version? Think they announced a '66, but AM "died" before the kit was released. *NM*
    • That was American SATCO. That was a '66 also, again produced from the ex-AMT promo tooling *NM*
      • I wonder if Round2 could make a new “Craftsman” style kit out of one? *NM*
