MPC Switchers '32 roadster arrived in the mail today, I was the single bid eBay winner on this decently put-together original build (judging from its interior dust). The kit is a current reissue, but I figured if nobody else put a bid on it, the final price including shipping would be a lot lower than buying the kit retail somewhere. My gamble worked out. I need its chrome plated grille for one of my stalled roadster projects, but from the looks of it, the headers will work fine for my arched caricature dragster project, plus I can use the highback seats for some or other street rod project, along with the valve covers, chrome oil pan and wheels/tires.

What did you see on the road today?

Spotted this on my bike ride - somebody drove their pickup through foul weather to fetch this Camaro, with its dusty-from-sitting-in-storage roof? -
Scored this Polar Lights "Manglia" buildup from one of the vendors at the Desert Scale Classic contest/swap meet in Phoenix. Objective is to apply the wheels and bits of chassis / parachute on the warped Fairlane promo I got off eBay last fall. Just need to get one of those double-stacked blowers from a Zinger kit and some kind of Ed Roth Fink-style driver with the right arm out the passenger window on a shifter. If my thumb in these photos is a usable scale measuring device, it looks like I'll have to add a bit of meat to the front tires …

Survived the drive across town to north Phoenix for the Desert Scale Classic contest/swap meet. Much like any other big city (and some small towns!), it's travel-at-your-own-peril these days. Nice to see old friends again, and there was many great quality entries there.

Good question. My Preview photo altering program is a little primitive, but sometimes I can trick it into doing color variations I want ....

Years back I saw this Tom Sehloff Packard/Airstream cast iron toy creation (the man made those kinds of things for a while), so I thought I'd see if I could come up with something similar in 1/24th scale. Greenlight Models puts out a reasonably affordable diecast 24th scale 16 foot Airstream Bambi trailer, and the Lindberg '31 Bugatti Royale kits still seem to be around in plentiful form … but at the rate I'm going, I think I'll never find the time to take this idea past my photo composite stage.

Welcome! Are you aware of the International Model Car Builders' Museum in nearby Sandy?

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
