- It's a slow bench day so I think I will only finish one today. PICs
- I'm in need of 2 sets of rear fenders from the AMT '72 GMC pickup from either issue. If you can help please email me. TIA
- Dave Freiburger just posted print's death notice: HRM, MT, 4 Wheeler are the only paper mags TEN will print
- New magazine alert: February 2020 issue of Chevy High Performance is out now. FIVE pages on a restored '57 150 2-door sedan with the 'fuelie" 283, and Steve Magnante lists his TOP FIVE Chevrolet model kits!!
- Mild historical blackout - which aftermarket company had the original Galloping Ghost decals/parts? *NM*
- Thanks Bob! Are you reading the digital version? *NM*
- Has anyone built the AMT 70 Monte Carlo? I am having trouble with the interior fitting all the way up in the body. It seems the door panels are to wide for them to slip up inside. Anyone else have this problem or am I doing something wrong? *NM*
- On the bench! A 1965 Buick Wildcat (PICS)
- I thought these mags came in the 58 Impala kit, but checking out various versions on line don't show them, so, anyone have any idea what kit had these mags in it? (PIC)
- Back on the bench after 17 years! AMT 63 Ford Galaxie. (PICS)
- If for some reason someone wanted a model of the Tesla pickup here's a link to the papemodelers thread that has links to a couple of freebies. No compound curves so paper works well. *NM* *LINK*
- More bus progress
- This is kinda fun. *LINK*
- Yesterday I posted pix of a 66 El Camino I was looking at my wall to see what could be next that is close now... HERE IT IS 67 CHEVELLE POST/SEDAN PRO STREET CAR. PICS and thanks for looking
- Subtle progress on the Mack. *3 IMAGES*
- I made further progress on the small parts than I thought I would. *6 IMAGES*
- Now where's that key to the idea bank??? *PIC*
- Here are the latest reports on my Project Halfie and Project F/X. Take a look. *LINK*
- Lets play a game. Name the AMT kits that have not been changed since initial release. I have 2. (I think)
- Re: A walk down memory lane, I can relate,my favorite one I did was an AMT 1959 Buick htp. Been saving any parts I can find to do another one. *NM*
- Very nicely done!!! *NM*
- I like what I see so far! *NM*
- That's beautiful! *NM*
- GREAT new stuff from X-acto! *PIC*
- Is it possible to post active links or embed video on this board? TX! *NM*
- Lovin' it! Nice work, Evan! *NM*
- GOT SOMETHING ELSE OF INTEREST...... Marty made me do it from an old dare we had. Some of you may have seen it but for those that haven't. OLDIE 1960 Mercury Comet. PICS and thanks for looking
- GETTING CLOSE TO OFF THE BENCH...... 1966 El Camino I built one of these a several years ago with poverty caps and gold lines, same color but a friend of mine had to have it so I sold it to him. Here is my replacement. PICS and thanks for looking
- Another show from (was going to say a year ago) but looking at the date that's almost 2 years now. 2018-02-03 Motoring Thru Time Phoenix. Like this show always has some interesting brass cars showing up..and fire trucks like this 1948 Buffalo Pumper. *LINK* *PIC*
- Another one done. PICs I really didn't expect to finish this one this quick. 2 to go. As I was posting the pics I noticed that I hadn't painted the rear cross support. Again rushing to much.
- Got the fenders the proper tone of black. *4 IMAGES*
- Curious. Has anyone built Chrisman's 65 Comet *PIC*
- Someone's video from the 1996 Van Nationals Show *LINK*
- The motor is a Honda four. The MPC Chopper is actually a pretty sharp model. You can get a better detailed Honda four in two of the original MPC "Trike" kits of the early 1970's; reissued by Retro Hobbies around 2005....Here's a couple images of the assembled.... *LINK* *PIC*
- Thanks to the truck guys......got my Ford resin sleeper from AITM today....nice!! *NM*
- Thanks for the walk down memory lane and your experiences are similar to mine and I suspect many others of our generation. *NM*
- Yeah, what Marty said. A "quickie" build for me is 6-8 months. Kool Pontiac! *NM*
- It was good until about 1980. After that, it started going downhill IMHO. *NM*
- Neat story! My father was a mechanic and enjoyed building the first AMT kits - and I "helped"! The last one I remember helping on was a '60 Buick.
- I was very fortunate... Both of my parents were extremely supportive of my hobby..... Dad was a builder in the very early days of the hobby and we often went to swap meets together, right up to his passing, in 2013. *NM* *PIC*
- I like 'em both but am envisioning what one would look like if they were combined. *NM*
- Very impressive work Evan! *NM*
- What a great story. Most of what little I know about cars/part names/part functions/etc., I learned from building kits back then. There was no grown male in my world to teach me--very,very grateful for the building experiences then (and now). *NM*
- Another beauty, Frankie..... You are building machine!!!!! *NM*
- MPC 1/20 McLAREN M8 PARTS
- Bongard. *NM*
