Very nice. But I like your stock one better Tulio. Scott

Another nicely built AMT '57 Ford. But, coming from Tulio I expected no less. Again, despite Revell's wonderful new '57 Ford, AMt's is still a nice kit. Scott

The top car is a 1969 Roadrunner. The next car directly above is not a 1970 Roadrunner, but a 1971 Roadrunner. Scott

What exactly is wrong with this kit? Other glass fitting issues? I'm hearing complain about this kit, but what are exactly is everybody else complaining about? I build an Ertl release of this kit maybe 10 or more years ago. Other than not liking the taillights and the lack of chrome on the tree that included the rear seat speaker/trim, I didn't think the kit was too bad. I don't remember any problems with the fit of the glass. Is the glass too big? Too small? What? How about some pictures showing us the problems. Without see it, I don't know if I'd find it a problem or not. If it's minor, I can fix it. These are old kits. Things don't fit as well as they do on modern tooled kits. I expect that and have to be willing to work around that. In many cases I've been doing that since these kits were new. Scott

Very nice. But, I'm wondering what kit that is? Who made the kit? Scott

Turned out nice. But you need to have people see this in the "On the Workbench" segment to see some of your smaller details like the coolers, flip flops, etc. Very nice. By the way, did you get your tailgate to function? Can you open and close it? Or did you discover it was just easier to glue it closed like most of the people I know who have built this kit in past? Plus the original instructions told you you could not use the rear bumper guards if you were going to have your tailgate work. I see no rear bumper guards. So I'm wondering if you got your's to works? Scott

Very cool Pat. Neat looking plane. I see it's a Russian model kit. Is it also a Russian plane? Scott

Love the color. Scott

Nice build and nice color. But, tell us more about the color. What is it? And who makes it? Scott

Oh, by the way, equipped right those A100s could handle a camper like that just fine. Back in the day you'd see them set up with a camper on back, quite frequently. Scott

Very nice Rick. We need not only a Ford version, but a Corvair Rampside too. Love those old forward control trucks. Scott

All right! A Mutt II! Everybody likes to put Mustang IIs down. For the time they were right for where the market was at. And still like them. Scott

Ron it's a compliment that your car reminds so many people of Biff's. Back to Future was a great set of movies, that would have really would have gone no where without a character like Biff Tanner. And I think the one thing we all like about Biff is his car. Still a little cow dung would be fun. Scott

Not my style. But I still like what you did. I can appreciate the work that went in it. Any even though it's not my style. And I too shake my head when I see things like that on the road. The big question becomes, it is your kit, and do you like it? As long as you like it it's OK. Scott It would be a boring world if we all like the same thing. Though we all know the rest of you have no taste. And only the things I like are truly good!

Wow looks great! Another oldie I wish Revell would dust off the dies for and repop. In the mean time, great job Alan. Scott

Ron, I love it. And I'm glad to see not everybody has given up on AMT's old '57 Fairlane since Revell came out with their '57 Ford. Sure Revell's '57 is a superior kit to AMT's some 50 year old kit. But, the old one is still not a bad kit, that can be built quite nicely as shown by your build here Ron. I have one stored away I need to get to some day. When I do mine, I'll be going with a Red and Black two-tone. I only hope it turns out half as well as yours. Scott

Great minds must think a like! That was first thought when I saw this build. I was also thinking some cow stuff would work too. Any how, nice build. Scott

Sounds good to me Rob. I'm sure you'll do just fine. Scott

Now that is fun! Scott

Ah, good old GM. The dumb s.o.b.s that they are. I had heard this was the reason Shawn Carpenter stopped offering his stuff. At the same time others are offering other GM products in resin. I wonder what it would take for another to step in and offer a GMC conversion like the one I got Mr. Carpenter. If anybody ever does try to offer something similar, they're good to have work hard match Shawn's quality. Scott

Just went through Bill's tutorial from beginning to end. Since I see Bill has been reading this, great job Bill. At the same time it would be fun and useful to someone else do a similar thing every couple of years. There are always new people coming in to the hobby. And a lots of old farts who forget things or didn't pay attention the first time through. So I'd love to see another basic building skills tutorial. The only thing, Bill set a pretty high standard. But, I'm sure it can be done. Go for it Rob. Scott

This posting was and is still is very good and usefull. Fantastic job of building and teaching others how to build Bill. It was fun to go back to the beginning and read it from start to finish. Scott

There are NO Dumb Questions! It fact I'm glad you brought this question up. I made the switch to Tamiya's spay paints a while back, and because of the great results I've had, I have been thinking about moving to their bottle paints next. This was a great question. One I probably would not of thought of until I bought the paint and started using. Then I would have been left scratching my head trying to figure that one out. I for one, am glad you asked it. Saved me some future trouble. Scott

Rob, I'd like to see it. Even though I've been building for 50 years now (!!!!????), I can always learn more. You may just show me a new trick I've never seen before. Or use a technique I've been wondering about. Go for it. It would be fun. Harry, if you can, just do what you need to to make it work. There has got to be away of setting it up where it will not get bogged down with others comments. Then again others comments and question prove to helpful and interesting. Scott
