Got links showing that? If I have it right, that's a basic elemental copyright violation - you capture an image, it's yours, without the necessity of getting an official copyright or putting the little c-circle mark on it. But of course, better legal minds than mine can offer better info on it all, https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html

Huh. The JDM version of the Plymouth Arrow. Didn't know anybody made a kit of that.

Tempted to drop parts of the page below into my Corel drawing program so I can print out the red Ambassador, and then see if it is beyond my skill level these days to assemble it. I can vouch firsthand that paper models aren't always child's play to put together. The Bluesmobile I did many years back really was a fiddley kit - borrowing KCSlammer's Fotki photo of it here. (had to also build my own award trophy for it out of a McDonalds burger box, which was actually easier to do!)

Not something you run across everyday in the eBay Vintage Model Cars section: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266717238942 . Would be entertaining to get nice flat scans of the original to do paper printout reproductions to put together. Since eBay auction links are short-lived, here's a permanently saved Archive link to at least have a minimal look at what the seller had: https://web.archive.org/web/20240313192938/https://www.ebay.com/itm/266717238942

Anybody have the blue flames from the decal sheet that's in the current release AMT '34 Ford pickup? Longer story I'll tell later in an "Under Glass" thread here, a couple years back I got the really old, probably 1960s buildup of the '32 roadster seen below. I figure that with a cleanup, a switch of the roof to a white canvas color, and a couple other fixups, this can be returned to being a really nice model ..... but with so much sky blue happening there, I thought I'd minimally see if paper printout mockups of the decals would work, and I think they do. I've added most of the excess vintage AMT parts that came with this old buildup to my big trade list, if that helps with any potential trade ---> https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/176867-partsdiecastsdecalsetc-offered-for-trade-to-go-with-my-various-parts-wanted-posts/

1:1 kitbash?

Junkyard boss to employee: "See all that piled up in the corner over there? Do something with it." Days later, employee: "How's dis?" Boss: "I meant, get rid of it all!" -
A study in structural bondo...
Russell C replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I could only watch 13 of the first 23 minutes. Poor Cougar. I can just imagine an owner of such a thing allowing a son to take it out for a drive, who calls in 10 minutes later to say "Dad, I did a Dukes of Hazard style jump over the railroad tracks - just a little jump! - and, well .... the car broke into maybe 16 or more pieces ........" -
On a few occasions for my GSL Contest entries, I printed out the backstory, where it was a great excuse to pass off some of my shortcomings on the build as actually being exact replication of the shortcomings of the 1:1 vehicle I was "replicating." Here's the printout from the Under Glass thread for my backwards VW bug (I really should have budgeted more time to do a better paint job).

What would YOU like to see as a model
Russell C replied to JeroenM3's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
'76 Chalet #0589 in the top pic, '77 #1460 in the bottom pic. Mentioned this somewhere else here at MCM, but for new folks, I'll repeat some of it: I used to own #1747 'til I needed the money more than a big no-ideal-available-place-to-fix-it-up rig. I am the current caretaker of the very old blazerchalet website (paying the bills to keep it online) and I have my hobby fun trying to keep track of every one of these ever made, supposedly only 1,780 (figure comes only from this 1979 article's 2nd paragraph - GM lost the figures for the GMC Casa Grande version, but has said they made 1,555 of the Chevy versions). Another 'custom' that just came up for sale yesterday with 80+ reference photos is Chalet #0258 in Texas. Myself, I thought the only class win I perhaps could achieve at the GSL contest would be in Factory Stock for one of these, but I never got past figuring out whether the Monogram Blazer / Jimmy was more of an accurate basis then the MPC Blazer or the Revell one. Snagged all three as cheap eBay buildups about a decade back, and that's all the farther I ever got … -
Don't know how I missed that one top kit back in the day. Must-haves for every offroader; an axe, a shovel .... and a cannon.

Autoquiz #597 - Finished
Russell C replied to carsntrucks4you's topic in Real or Model? / Auto ID Quiz
No clue. But I could say that if the thing was sectioned with a bit of a top chop and lowered somewhat, with more beefy rear wheels, it might look something like this. -
