- Sunday photos.................................................................................................PICS
- TOTALLY cool. Scratchbuilding like this just trips my trigger. Thanks for sharing! *NM*
- I impressed with Scale Autoβs much improved social media presence under the new regime, including an unboxing video of the Miura kit. I once asked Jim H about using some video and his response was βno budgetβ. Glad to see new editors dug up a few bucks for it. *NM*
- I have not been able to post pictures here for roughly two years. Some day soon I hope to post pictures of everything I've finished since then. But tonight I just want to show you what I finished tonight. *PIC*
- Went to what was, most likely, the last outdoor show that I'll attend this year... Images from the "Rock 'n Bowl" car show, at Don Carter Lanes, in Rockford... *PICS* *LINK*
- I also drove over to Freeport to pick up a little something from the LHS.... While I was there, the shop owner told me that there was a little car show happening a few block away... *PICS* *LINK*
- David Dale, sent you an email. *NM*
- A friend of mine in the St Louis area just posted on Facebook that a long time modelling friend of his named Larry Cleveland past away today. Don't know if anyone here knew him, or if he posted on here. *NM*
- Was at out club meeting today and one of the guys had this Weathering magazine. Thought some of you might enjoy this. *NM* *PIC*
- Part request: Would anyone happen to have a spare optional bumper (the one with the bumper guards) to the Revell 1959 Impala hardtop or convertible? *NM*
- Got an IM earlier today "suggesting" I should bring my camera and measuring tape with me to the village of North Hatley, QC as the trucks would be there. *IMAGES*
- I finally got enough internet to Fotki my 9th build for this year. A simple build with a few changes from the base kit. Pics.
- Wow the Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals show is coming up on Nov. 18th & 19th. This show is in its 9th year already and they're planning next years show as well. I can't wait and of course I'll take a few photos too. *NM*
- Don't laugh. *PIC*
- So what's the oldest model you built that you still have? *NM*
- I have 3 left from the early 90s *PIC*
- Re: This is the oldest built model I still have that was done in the early 70's...................................................PICS
- No pics, but I have an original Johan '69 Javelin finished as the funny car, and an original '69 Dodge Daytona NASCAR finished in my own color scheme. These were all done when I was in high school, 69 and 70. Also, a 40 Ford and a Cobra done in 75/76 *NM*
- Built around 1977. AMT 1/16 scale '57 Chevy with one or two modifications. *NM* *LINK* *PIC*
- These three are the oldest builds I still have. All cars are from the 1/32 scale Pyro Table Top Classics serie and all three cars were probably build in '65 or '66.
- built these around '68 & '69... I think the Willys is the oldest survivor...
- The oldest I have are a black/red trimed AMT 40 Coupe, candy red AMT 49 Coupe, lengthened into a hearse AMT 34 Willys Van, AMT 39 Tudor made into an Oz Sloper,a Revell 31A Tudor with a triple carbed flathead & an 20's Indy car using a 1/16th Bandai Brabham upturned rear to
- An AMT 65 Bonneville and a Monogram Firebomb, both date to around late 79, early 80. Everything previous I gave to my nephew. *NM*
- Here's my oldest with a few other Teen Survivors from the 70's...*PICS* *LINK*
- No pics (photobucket) but I have an original issue AMT '32 Ford coupe, an AMT '62 Chevy convertible annual, and an AMT '62 Bonneville hardtop. The '32 has been rebuilt several times over the decades while the annuals are as built in '62. *NM*
- These are the oldest I still have *LINK*
- Glad you still have this survivor of yours! Maybe make it a delivery vehicle for a Mary Kay cosmetics sales person? *NM*
- If you canβt match the pink, you could always paint the hood Semi gloss black with engine call outs. *NM*
- "Cupid's Arrow". I could see that working as a '70's drag car- sponsored by a lingerie shop, maybe? *NM*
- Why laugh, it's great to see the humble beginnings, I'm mad at myself for destroying so many of my earlier models (used them to try out techniques like making dents etc..) anyway the oldes built I still have is a Monogram Desert Rat Van, which wasjust like the box-art model.
- I don't remember who suggested to use the Roll View when viewing albums on Fotki but thank you very much. I've had a Fotki account since the early 2000s and never noticed that. It makes viewing so much easier. Thanks again. *NM*
- Motor City NNL #13 coming soon.......... *PIC*
- Downriver MCC October meeting pics *LINK*
- I pulled a model out of stash to start a new build, and found out I had taken the tires out of it. I should have them around somewhere, but to give me an idea what to look for does anyone have a pic of the tires from the AMT Baldwin Motion 70 1/2 Camaro? *PIC*

- Some years back I bought some models from Randy Vandrais(sp) before he past, and one of the boxes had an AMT 58 Impala being built as a panel delivery kind of like that one. I need to find it and see about finishing it as a tribute to Randy. *NM*
- Sorry for your loss. Be sure to contact Mark at the Model Car Museum to get his name added to the In Memorium List. *NM*
