- I'm sure that everyone has a different comfort level within the hobby....This just happens to be yours....Enjoy it for what it is.... *NM*
- My reaction to "Life getting in the way" has transformed me into a collector more than a builder... Lately though I'm back at the bench with 3 active projects. I don't know if I agree with quarterly issues, I like getting my monthly "styrene fix", LOL but do agree with...
- There are literary options to the one you mention. *NM*
- Well, I still paint them, but as far as wiring engines, brakelines, transmissions, etc. I don't anymore. It's just not fun anymore & I know I can/have done it so it's kind of a, "been there, done that" sort of thing. Most of my builds are straight out of the box (the
- I like the mag 6x per year, but agree an article on molds, etc would be interesting. I asked Jim for an article about how resin casters develop body molds from scratch as Comp Resins does, but he said that article would cost too much in terms of writing and photography. *NM*
- I too would like to see more content and a friendlier price, however, I realize the hobby is much different than it was when I was a kid. When I'm in the Hobby Shop I rarely run into another model car builder anymore. That's why I buy magazines and things related to the hobb

- lots of us clowns around, Tom :) I'm a few hundred feet from the cpr mainline here and love to see and here the trains, whether it's a hundred car drag of powder river coal heading for prince rupert via edmonton, a container string or just generic freight. Guess dad's train
- Very OT! I was sitting in front of my computer yesterday when the doorbell rings........

- Hey man looking for a few parts for Tom Daniels Poison Pinto if anyone can help me out PLEASEEEEE :)
- "Car Quiz" Day 4 *PIC*
- actually, the wheels aren't aftermarket; they were supplied with the test shot. Chuck sure picked the ight color and did a beautiful job with that kit *NM*
- Anybody wondering what's on my bench tonight ? No ?.... *PIC*
- Looks to me it's a press photo, and my guess is that the folks are on some sort of cross-country tour. *NM*
- I’m not surprised, as I think his back is a serious problem. He has to be worried that a bad crash could put him in a wheelchair for life. I’d think his biggest concern would be letting Rick down, but with Chase ready to jump in the seat, the timing is right. *NM*
- I love trains and equally loved living right by the Rock Island railroad tracks back in the seventies. I actually bought a house so I could enjoy watching the trains go by. *NM*
- This is so OT, it's melted, but it's too cool.
- Storage locker 61 Ford, what would you do? (PIX)
- Re: Storage locker 61 Ford, what would you do? (PIX)
- You talk about your barn finds. *NM*
- It's like opening a time capsule you forgot you buried. Either leave it like it is to remind you of your youth or finish it like you would have fifty years ago. *NM*
- I agree with the others - Either leave it, or build it as you would have back in the day. *NM*
- Thanks for the responses. I was thinking that the thing to do would be to finish it as is.......
- Finish it as you remember wanting to as a kid! *PIC*
- Very nice find. But I'll be the voice of dissent and say strip off that funny color and refinish it with a nice modern paint finish. After all, when you originally did it, you strived for the best finish you could get. Why not now ? Either way, keep us all up to date ! *NM*
- Leave the body as it is and finish it and then post pics on the board. *NM*
- Before stripping it I would give it a polish job and then finish like you had planned. 'Its a cool throwback! *NM*
- Nice color.I think 61 Fords were the prettiest ones made. *NM*
- Re: Storage locker 61 Ford, what would you do? (PIX)
- If it were an actual "survivor build" from your youth, I would say leave it..... But, since you never actually "built" it, way back when, I would go ahead and strip it it and build it with today's paints and materials... *NM*
- My grandparents out in Stockton, CA had a house with the tracks right across the fence. When I got to go visit, I loved it. The sound of the "clickety clack clickety clack" was very soothing to me. *NM*
- She's not happy, she's hysterical, she can't believe her husband actually bought this thing! *NM*
- I love that it's yellow, it reminds me "Here Comes The Sun". It'll probably be out just in time for when I put my models aside and get out my fishing rods. *NM*
- Where I go fishing there are dozens of houses across from the railroad tracks. Apparently that's only funny in Hollywood. *NM*
- The Lindberg 1/32 T Bucket hot rod has an obvious Buick V8 with Cadillac valve covers and the Testors T Bucket has a Pontiac V8 desquised as a Small Block Chevy. *NM*
- Jeff is being pushed aside to make a spot for Chase Elliott. Don't be surprised if he gets another ride. Remember Mark Martin, the Labonte bros. Bill Elliott etc. NASCAR racers like to go with their boots on. *NM*
- I 'd like to see Revell update the 50 to a 52, and would a 57 be too much to ask for. P.S. a stock 57 Ranchero would be a nice surprise also. *NM*
- I like where you're going with this. I used the chassis and Allison engine, but an old Chrysler resin body for mine. *PIC*
- CAT fans, when it rains, it pours.
- Fresh out of the body. *3 IMAGES*
- How about a car picture with a train in it? *PIC*
- Guess that would take a LOT of Alclad.... *NM*
- The absolute best spinners for the Corvette Knock-off wheels were found in the original Monogram 1965 Corvette Fastback. The AMT centers are completely wrong. *NM* *PIC*
- Ya talkin' 1/1...or 1/25?? *NM*
- So square. Makes you wonder whether Vovlo ever did research into square wheels. *NM*
- Another home run from Moebius! Tom/SH, you taking advance orders? *NM*
- O/T; "..the stuff you find when looking for something else..",.....*PICS*
- Upside down maybe, but not back to front. And it's not true that we've reversed the laws of thermodynamics either. *NM*
- Very cool! Great old survivor build. Even the Dave Shuklis influence of opening one door and gluing it in place like the Bobtail Cat! *NM*
- Frank,do you know anyone that has a decal sheet of Bill Jenkins SS/C Camaro, I am in need of some. *NM*
- RElectric cars failed in the esrly 1900s, too. Of course battery techology has advanced a lot since
- Good catch on the valve covers. I always notice stuff like that too. I'd find a different alternator for it. Or just file off the back side of the kit part. Right now your belts are all cattywampus. *NM*
- I have UPRR tracks up at the end of my street. *NM*
- A 1969 grill and I'd be in heaven. *NM*
- Any of the usual suspects going to Rockford Sunday??? *NM*
- For those who like police cars, Crown Vics, CHP vehicles and such. *PIC*
- Someone who works for the railroad...short jog to work! *NM*
- Yeah but down under they probably would have called the kit "The Botany Bay Weevil"... (OK, so I Googled Ozzy beetles... LOL) *NM*
- Re: A number of people living "off grid" in Alaska build close to the RR tracks, so they can hop a train to buy groceries & supplies. *NM*
- What's not to like....AMC AMX BBG and trains! *NM*
- Saw that coming miles away........
- Um nope! Tesla has rewritten the book! Get over it. *NM*
