  • One year? Come on, you know someone was going to say this! *NM*
  • Here ya go. *NM* *LINK*
    • Thanks Tom!! Just the small stuff so the 72 can be back dated to a 71 not looking for stock going to pro tour, *NM*
    • That's great, Tom! *NM*
• Does anyone know of a kit that could donate an uptop for the reissued '64 Olds convertible? Really wishing Round2 had tooled up an uptop for the kit. *NM*
  • I was thinking either the Polar Lights ‘64 GTO convertible or the AMT ‘66 Oldsmobile 442 ? I haven’t gotten the ‘64 yet though. *NM*
    • PL seems like it is about 1/24 or so; the '66 may be a better place to start *NM*
  • Irv Arter had good results modifying the hardtop from the 65 GTO kit. *NM*
    • Annuals and Tiger Box (perhaps others prior to the modified stocker) had a textured roof

  • A fun one! Maybe factory experimental for the era or precursor to funny car *NM*
    • No matter what it is it's my next build *NM*
  • I have an idea for a road racer...... *NM*

• PIF: custom wheels & tires (aka DONK) from Revell 1970 Pontiac Firebird kit #4489 (current issue 1/24th). Can't afford Canadian postage, sorry. *NM*
  • That's why I don't do PIFs anymore. too many people can't afford the postage to send to Canada. In fact, in light of the postage increases in the last few years, maybe we should just forget it entirely. *NM*
• HELP! I need the instructions for Testors 1/2 scale Harley Davidson Visible twin cam 88 *NM*
  • Check your email and see if that is what you are seeking *NM*
• Only 3 weeks left! Don't wait until the last minute . . . or worse yet, miss it entirely! *LINK*
• Matt & Dawn, thank you for getting my kits to me so quickly! *NM*

• My poor old Mercury. *PIC*
  • Bullseye! Great patina...love the build. *NM*
  • Where did you get that boom-box? *NM*
    • Ditto that question *NM*
    • I think it came from Thingiverse. I sized it and printed it. Cool huh? *NM*
  • Very cool build sir! *NM*
  • Came out very nice and great first attempt cause it looks like you have done it 100 times already! *NM*
  • I think it's actually a 413, but I love your build! *NM*
• Haven't seen Frank here for awhile, hope he's okay? *NM*
  • I spoke with him the other day he is fine and really busy so hes taking a break from the board.. wait till he shows a couple of items he has in the works.... *NM*
    • Thanks Bruce. *NM*
    • Should Marty be concerned? **SMALL PIC**
      • Nah.... I'm in the loop as to what he's working on. *NM*
• Why? Looks like maybe he scooped up some of those white lines running down the center of the road.
  • Ha......Ha Ha 🤢 *NM*
• Are the mag wheels in the F-85 olds a copy of a real wheel *NM*
  • These? I don't think so. *NM* *PIC*
    • think again Bill. *PIC*
      • looks close to me *NM*
        • Those are "close"? Either the box art is totally wrong, or somebody's vision is really failing. *NM*
          • The box art isn't very close , , ,and yes, you may need new glasses. *PIC*
            • The 1:1 concept car was a restyled '63 F-85. The '64 kit's custom parts are inspired by the '63 concept *NM*
              • Wow, you weren't kidding (LINK INSIDE) *NM*
            • About 55% close. They certainly are not the same wheels A half-assed copy maybe? *NM*
• Brooks Moses asked about where to find a Cummins 5.9 file for 3D printing *NM* *LINK*
  • Got it. Thanks for tracking that down for me! *NM*
• Not exactly the same, but I've been musing about building one of these out of a fifties or sixties car - apparently they weren't uncommon back in the day *LINK* *PIC*
  • Poor old Merc.... That just makes me sad! *NM*
  • Ken Hamilton's next award.... *NM*
    • True, it's got Ken written all over it *NM*
  • I built one quite a while ago using the Revell 57 Caddy and the AMT Open Road camper. *NM*
  • That's awesome!!! *NM*
• OT: Another model I just finished. *PIC*
  • Looks o/k from here.....at least 5'.........what is it or is it a what if?. *NM*
  • Looks like Dr. Quest's plane. *NM*
    • The Dragonfly. Dr Quest’s plane. I might have to find one as I enjoyed the Johnny Quest cartoon. *NM*
  • Looks good to me!!! *NM*
  • The Moebius kit is five foot, not 5 inches?! *NM*
  • Many years ago I was asked to build a model of a 747 for a trade show...
• Dan Cater: Here's a few paper models I've been working on, not even close to level of the dude doing the motorcycles. Plus it doesn't help that I have the attention span of a magpie. Oh there's something new and shiny over there, got'a go. *PIC*
  • Amazing work! *NM*
• Question about the Johan 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass: Is the bumper seperate from the grille? *NM*
  • No. *NM*
• '59 and '59 Customs for 5/8 and 5/9 *PIC*
  • True to the period! Well done. *NM*
  • The 59 is fresh money - where are those chrome reverse from? *NM*
  • Forgot how smooth that '59 looked *NM*
• BruceKim--sent you an email. *NM*
• Re: So who is going to build it??? Super Bugger, here's the one I did last year. *NM* *LINK* *PIC*
  • Well done!! *NM*
• This is for anyone but is aimed at Wayne Hulsey. *NM* *LINK*
  • This is just INSANE!!! Words fail me! *NM*
    • That IS insane! WOWSERS *NM*
  • Thought I might have to duck! Thanks, it was posted on the papermodelers site recently. Here's a BMW S10000 RR by him. *NM* *LINK*
  • OMG!! *NM*
  • That is certainly amazing and some good ideas for scratchbuilding extra parts for our models in thin styrene! *NM*
  • I don't believe this! I saw it, but it is unfathomable to me...what talent...what tenacity... *NM*
• A 59 for 5/9 *PIC*
  • Re: VERY nice! *NM*
  • Ditto!!! *NM*
  • Another great case of a kit perceived as "not the greatest" coming out right and looking good *NM*
  • Looks really great, but "orange explosion"?? *NM*
    • The Demolition Darby saga *PIC*
      • A whole new meaning for painters of the term "overspray"! Since the house did not burn down and no one was hurt I guess in a weird way you were lucky, but oh man! What a disaster! But hey, the Cougar turned out great. *NM*
  • IMO, before the new-tool '58/'59 the best of the iced-out C2s in scale
• My 59's for 5/9.... Yeah, you've seen them before.... *PICS*
  • FUN FUN FUN!! *NM*
  • Never get tired of seeing that Allison funny car/59 Wagon! *NM*
  • Marty....was that 1979 NSRA contest run by Bob Butterley? Fun times....thanks for posting...TIM *NM*
    • You're asking me to really dig deep into the old memory bank, there Tim... But that name does sound familiar. *NM*
      • Re: You're asking me to really dig deep into the old memory bank, there Tim... But that name does sound familiar.
  • That Elky has me doing wheelies. Cool batch, Marty *NM*
  • Cool looking bunch. Please finish that Edsel. *NM*
  • Way to go Marty!! *NM*
  • Having a carny barker exhibiting the Allison powered Ford wagon is perfect. I bet he has a LOT of superlatives in his pitch! ;^) *NM*
  • Details on that bad news Lincoln with the Edsel Schmedsel *NM*
• Suggestions wanted:Building a work Jeep for sand dune / beach use. Any ideas for better tires?
  • Satco used to make some Desert Duelers that would be ideal. Can find them on ebay occasionally. *NM* *PIC*
    • IIRC Scenes Unlimited still make those tires and correctly casts them as directional... The originals weren't. *NM*
      • I dont believe Bridgestone Desert Dueler tires were ever directional. *NM* *LINK*
      • Ray, you may be thinking of Ground Hawgs. They were directional but only had lettering on one side which was a problem when mounting on the other side of vehicle (no lettering). My resolution sand off lettering. *NM*
        • Sorry guys, Rich is right... Memory fade... BTW Rich, did you get my email? *NM*
          • So the real point: does Garage Scenes make the Satco DDs or was that some other random tire? *NM*
            • sorry, meant Scenes Unltd not Garage Scenes. *NM*
  • The rear paddle tires from the Manx dune buggy, or all four from the Hogan's Heros Jeep. *NM*
    • Or the Ground Hawgs from the Dodge Ramcharger, the ones from the Revell Mad Mudder Blazer. *NM*
  • Knowing nothing about it myself but taking a guess...what about the all terrrain tires in either the Gear Hustler El Camino (2 of them) or in the Crew Chief Blazer (not sure how many)? I'm not sure what era they're from, but they don't look "new" *NM*
  • Sometimes I look through everything I own to find just the right tire. I'm not always successful. I get off-road tires various places including diecasts. Just a couple styrene kit sources inside...PICS
    • Don't know how much (or if) this will help, but... Check the rack of pull-back motorized toys at the dollar store, CVS, etc
• My contribution for 5/9
  • Oldie but a goodie! *NM*
  • I agree!!! *NM*
  • Some of the late '50s luxury cars were real land yachts! Your Imperial is a fine example. *NM*
• (PICS) And just photographed...My final batch of recently unearthed old 1/32 model kits.....including AMT, Lindberg, Tomy, Italeri, Entex
  • I like "The Three Marketeers" logo, hadn't seen that but I do remember when that model was being built and wishing there was a 1/25 AMT version. *NM*
  • Amazing survivors, with such neat paint and trim work *NM*
  • All very nice... Is it weird that I am most enamored with the '91 Chevy stepside? *NM*
  • I didn't know anyone could build one of those Lindberg classics that nice! Wow! *NM*
  • Great job in a smaller scale. *NM*
  • I really like that '36 Jaguar SS 100. At 1/32 scale, what are the wheels, headlight covers, and grille mesh - washed plastic, cast metal, photo etch, or what? And how did you do the louvers? Is the hood brass? All are amazing, especially at that scale. *NM* *PIC*
    • Hi Bill, In its day, the Jag model was quite sophisticated......
      • Thanks for the info. I guess that level of materials and partial pre-assembly, like the wire wheels parts, is too much to ask for in the current 1/25 kits but it sure would be nice to get that level of realism in them. Accurate Miniatures kits of the Corvette GS race cars
• Did we know a Revell E type convertible was coming? I knee about the coupe, and now theyve posted a convertible on their facebook page. *NM*
  • I didn't! Good to know 'cause I like the looks of the convertible better. *NM*
  • I heard the coupe windshield may have been a compromise, using the shorter convertible windshield. I’d like to see the 2+2 with its unique roofline *NM*
  • If it WASNT part of the plan, it should have been!
  • Box art and preview on their website... *PIC*
    • Harry and Meghan driving to the airport to escape the swells at the palace!
      • I imagine she’d be doing the driving, LOL! *NM*
• 59 4 5/9 *PIC*
  • Nice build Dave. *NM*
• Episode 62 of the Model Car Podcast is out. *LINK*
• Some 59's PICS
  • I have one of the re-issue '59 Dodge kits that I would love to do something with..... I'm really put off by the thought of doing all that foiling though! *NM*
    • Meant to include that I love your Dodge.... VERY nice!!!! *NM*
    • Thanks Marty! Foiling '50's cars can be a tad time consuming! lol *NM*
  • Your Dodge looks great! I do not know if that color combo is stock, but if not, it should have been. Nice! The wheelcovers are similar to the aftermarket variation 1:1s I had on my '61 Chevy back in the early '60s, but my checker spaces were white. *NM*
• '59 for 5-9. *PIC*
• Here's one that a paper model was just released of that I might have to get it: a JAP (JA Prestwich) V8 powered 1914 GN cycle car. *NM* *LINK*
  • Wow, pretty neat! Must be a thrilling ride on those roads *NM*
    • Yes, especially thrilling when you make a left hand turn in front of an oncoming (white) van, from the right. *NM*
  • Richard has since purchased and restored a Lorraine Deitrich and his wife Annie drives the JAP powered GN at hill climbs and such. Simply an amazing car. *NM*
• '59's for 5/9.....pics.....
  • Nice! What color green is that? *NM*
    • Something Albert picked out and it's been so long I don't remember. *NM*
  • Nice Lincoln! Dig that krazy kustom! *NM*
  • Nice to see an Albert-related model back in the mix *NM*
  • DAVID DALE you have an email from me. *NM*
• The only 59 I have, built many years ago PICS
• (PICS) More of my old survivor 1/32 models from 30 years ago (see my previous post)...AIRFIX kits this time
  • Give me a call Cliff... *NM*
  • So nice seeing them, as I love old British cars! *NM*
  • I remember those, If I'am not mistaking they were one piece bodies too.. *NM*
  • Still cant believe those are 1 32 scale, lots of them I never knew existed. *NM*
  • Your precision of detail on those is amazing. Renault Dauphines have shown up in 1/25-1/24 here a couple of times, but that is the first 1/32 I have seen. Neighbors across the street in my west Texas hometown had a blue one for their daughter, who was the same age as one *PIC*
• Some more cool kits I've received recently (PICS)
  • That wagon is one of my all time favorite kits... *NM*
  • Sending an email you're way *NM*
    • Email has been answered :-) *NM*
      • Thank you! *NM*
  • Try a windshield from any MPC '68 to 72 GM mid-size like a Chevelle or GTO. Easy to find and should fit better than the newer MC piece. But, they were all the same windshield in 1/1. *NM*
    • Thanks, I'll do that. *NM*
• While even on vacation, I managed to score this MPC 1966 Bonneville convertible (PICS)
  • I won one of those MPC kits at a model contest in Toronto, CA when they first came out. I wasn't that interested in non hot rod subjects at the time so I gave it to my buddy Cliff and it has since come back to me in the form of a '66 Pontiac ambulance project... *PIC*
    • I think I got it for about a C note, with tax and shipping so it wasn't too bad. A lot better than the 3 to 4 C notes for unbuilt ones! *NM*
      • I would have gone for that too but shipping is stupid from USA to Canada... Just STUPID... *NM* *PIC*
        • Yes, especially since I "only" paid $25 for shipping on a complete kit! *NM*
    • Sorry to say, I feel sad that the wrong steering wheel and seat pattern is preventing finishing a really unique subject. Especially a coach built one which may have deviated from the factory specs in its lifetime. At some point we have to be willing to compromise, no? *NM*
      • Don't feel sad for me... I've been kinda busy since Covid hit working daily on this "KIT"... *PIC*
        • Nice progress, looking good! *NM*
        • Oh man, I loved working on my cars back in the day but nothing to THAT extreme! Looks like a lotta work AND fun! Great to see it coming along so well. Please continue to keep us posted on progress. *NM*
    • I worked out of a 65 Pontiac Superior Coach consort just like that one in Winnipeg.. *NM*
      • Nice, ambulances had style back then! *NM*
  • The '70 Bonneville will have everything but the vent windows
• Well hello everyone! Back from our vacation to Phoenix AZ, I have some pictures to share (PICS)
  • Nice vacation Pics thks for the ride along! *NM*
  • Great photos! You covered a lot of territory in a short time, not in you little Honda, I hope *NM*
    • Yes, in our 2015 Honda Fit. Total mileage was 4,215.0 miles! *NM*
  • Nice tour, thanks! *NM*
  • I love Utah and go there as often as possible, thanks for the photos! *NM*
  • Great pics! Thanks for sharing. My family took a vacation tour loop through the western states when I was in high school. That pic of the Tetons is great, but in person you are driving on this flat land for miles and then the sheer mass of the Tetons form this incredible
  • Excellent tour. I want to do that someday, if ever the border opens up. Thanks for sharing *NM*
• Sunday photos.................................................................................................PICS
  • Neat stuff...junior high schoolers everywhere will find something to like! 🤭🙄 *NM*
    • HAHA...DENIM !!!!! Some really cool stuff here today! *NM*
    • Yeah, because junior high schoolers always have an eye out for someone else's mom.🤭🙄 *NM*
  • Great PICS as usual Nick! *NM*
  • Thanks for the "variety" of pictures and especially Bobby Unser. *NM*
  • The '29 TROG (?) is too cool--love the "bubbling" chrome on the radiator shell. Wonder how you do that... *NM*
  • Yes trying very hard to not let my junior high mouth say something lol *NM*
    • Let me see. Junior High, you say? Oh, NOW, I remember, Junior High--------1951. Sept. of '51? HIGH SCHOOL!! Black Leather jackets, switch blades, and enough grease on your hair, you could "slide" from L.A. to 'Frisco!! You "kids" haven't a CLUE about Junior High!! L.O.L. *NM*
  • So is that dude a young High Octane? *NM*
  • Glad to see the Henry J is being reissued... *NM*
    • Was nice to see a Henry J with stock rear wheel wells. I wish the Model had that option also. *NM*
• Happy Mother's Day to all of you related to us guys!! *NM*
• Its 5-9, and also Mothers Day. *NM*
• Did MPC make a kit called the Bone Shaker (maybe 1 word) in the mid to late 60's that was a dragster with a skeleton in it?
  • Sounds like Monogram's Bad Medicine show rod..... *NM* *PIC*
    • The tarantula was the only one of those I ever built, and I grew up right in the middle of the show rod model kit era. *NM*
    • Love TD kits! *PICS*
  • Hot Wheels has had a car called the Bone Shaker since 2006 *PIC*
    • Plus a new kit........ *PIC*
  • No. Two different people have phoned me over the years to bring that kit up, they thought it was a Monogram kit. Someone suggested to me that it may have been a Mattel toy from the same time period *NM*
  • Not a kit but this may be it: Zee Toys Skull Dragger *NM* *LINK*
• To quote the late/legendary/HOF/Mets broadcaster Ralph Kiner "Happy birthday to all you Mothers out there", in other words, Happy Mothers Day! *NM*
  • Have heard that originally it was :" On Father's day, we again wish you all happy birthday" , either way, funny stuff. *NM*
• (PICS) 1/32 Survivor models from the late '80s and early '90s, ....beginning with Gunze Sangyo
  • Could have fooled me that they are only 1 32, nice builds. *NM*
  • Wow, you did a great job on them. If you hadn’t said so, I don’t think I would have guessed they were 1/32 scale. *NM*
  • Those Gunze 1/32's are nice. I've got a '59 Caddy in the works, so I'm glad to see what the end result looks like! *NM*
  • VERY NICE! *NM*
  • I don' think I have ever seen those model built so beautifully. *NM*
    • Second that. *NM*
    • Third! *NM*
  • Those little Gunze Sangyo kits were actually quite nice and fun to build.... I built the '59 Impala and the Caddy back in the mid-80's....
• '58 Fer 5/8 *PIC*
  • Very sharp build! *NM*
• My only 58 has a set of tracks *PIC*
  • Now that got my attention. *NM*
  • Very nice. But doesn't the umbrella make it a '59? :) *NM*
  • Nice job! A lot of extra work there, looks authentic too *NM*
  • Nice, detailing is top shelf.....and speaking of that umbrella 🌂, where did it come from? *NM*
    • Re: Thanks for the kind words. The umbrella was lifted from a Hasagawa Racing Girls kit . I think I used an axle from an AMT truck kit for the support rod *NM*
  • Sweet. Great weathering--not over done. *NM*
• For us old guys, just saw Lloyd Price passed. One of favorite 50's song was his version of Stagger Lee. *NM* *LINK*
• Hey guys kudo's to all you guys for posting such excellent examples of all the 50's cars. They are all fantastic builds in my book. *NM*
  • In my book, too! *NM*
• My wife is from Kimberton, PA. A number of her family members belonged to the Fire Department. *NM*
• I like all the builds and the color choices are right on. *NM*
• Came out real nice and the I like the color and paint work. *NM*
• Love them. *NM*
• How did you do the lettering? *NM*
• FINALLY... After what seemed a like a winter that would never end, I FINALLY made it to my first outdoor car show of the year... Images from the Alpha Days car show, in Alpha, Illinois.... *PICS* *LINK*
  • Nice 55 Dodge. Mopar had great color palattes in that era *NM*
  • Thanks Marty!! *NM*
  • Oh yeah! Marty's outdoor car show pics are BACK!! *NM*
  • Now I feel a little more back toward normalcy, thanks Marty! I also think that poor old B Model deserves a little paint! *NM*
• Does anyone know how to reach Whoopie Kat Decals? *NM*
  • Out of business permanently according to their announcement. *NM*
• Here is my '58!
  • Re: VERY nice Barry. *NM*
  • Always nice to see a 58 droptop! *NM*
  • 1st legal car? Something tells me you spent some time street racing, but then who didn't back then. *NM*
    • Re: Street racing back in the 60's was just an awesome time for me. *NM*
• I thought my favourite was the Imperial ad....
• Revell & AMT 5-8s....
• Bullitt will be on TCM at 5:45 pm Eastern *NM*
• Here's my only '58
  • Beauty! *NM*
  • Ditto!!! *NM*
• I recently picked up a 57 Chevy Nomad resin kit. Finally figured it needs the California Wheels 57 Chevy for a donor. Would anyone know who cast this, there is no markings and vendor didnt know. *NM*
  • MCW offers it; or rather did. Mike has plans on making new molds at some point again. I ordered one right before he pulled it off-line. *NM*
    • Thank you, thats the one. I wish I knew what donor car was needed earlier, I picked up the AMT 57 Street Machine thinking that would be the donor, oh well, one more for the model car stack. *NM*
      • Re: Thank you, thats the one. I wish I knew what donor car was needed earlier, I picked up the AMT 57 Street Machine thinking that would be the donor, oh well, one more for the model car stack.

  • Cool build! *NM*

  • Never to late!! *NM*

    • Re: Lookin' good. *NM*
    • Re: Here's one I built about 12 years ago, it's a low budget 6 cylinder gasser.....LOVE IT!! *NM*
    • Nice build and thanks for posting *NM*
• Today is 5-8 *NM*
• Still haven't received my issue of Building Muscle Cars. Ordered it last fall. They'll blame it on the Post Office. *NM*
  • Ditto and they already have blamed them. *NM*
  • Same here *NM*
  • Just bought one this afternoon at the LHS. Good magazine. *NM*
    • Oh sure, rub it in! 😁🤪😂 *NM*
  • I was pre-ordering from Kalmbach....but the magazine always showed up on stands before I got my pre-order. *NM*
  • I ordered and have been billed on two credit cards for it. Still waiting. Purchased a copy at Barnes & Noble earlier in the week. *NM*
  • Leafed through it at the LBS yesterday, probably get one. If for the Tim Boyd articles if nothing else *NM*
• You will be trading the musty smell for the coffee smell. The latter probably does smell better to most people. *NM*
• happen to have a photo of the equivalent sprue from the double kits? I have all three of the kits but they are kind of buried. *NM*
  • after a little research in my stash, heres what I can tell you
    • be sure to quote me with proper attribution in your next book *NM*
• Thanks everyone! ***MORE PICS***
• The final installment of That 70's Nova. Take a look!
  • Looks good. The bumper sticker is a nice touch. *NM*
  • Re: The final installment of That 70's Nova. Now THAT I like!! Typical period ride, long shackles, raised rear. Good color choice. *NM*
  • Re: Lookin' good. *NM*

  • Looking good David!! *NM*
  • Liking that bow tie fella *NM*
• I just talked to Henry (Gofer) and he's testing the waters with the dragster frame and Ford 427 engine, and if they sell well he'll do others. I also talked to Matt, and they're looking in to handling them. Henry's working with Atlantis on these, and I...
  • happen to ask about the motorcycles? that would be the money shot. *NM*
    • Doesn't look like they can be done. *NM*
      • well thats too bad but I still look forward to whatever comes out. *NM*
  • I just confirmed that Spotlight Hobbies will carry the Gofer parts packs, and will be one of the first to have them. *NM*

  • I bought the same colour as yours I could not resist it. I was thinking of the red one also, but I am glad I picked the blue. *NM*
