Sorry for bringing up an old topic but I'm currently searching for exactly this. Released yeasterday in 3d file form from Andrey Bezrodny on cults3d and cgtrader is a Jeep XJ. I happened to have one (well, two actually) as a daily driver. It was the last generation, a 98 Cherokee Sport with the 2.5TurboDiesel from italian VM. As it happens, today is the one year anniversary of it ending up on its roof with me and a friend behind the wheel. The 3d file (currently being printed as I type this) is an early one and I could have wanted a 4.0L six in it๐

I just got one in the mail today. What a strange looking car. Not sure what I want to do with it yet but the box is going up on my displayshelf because the boxart is so cool.

Ford C800 Gar-Wood Load Packer. It's Happening!
Atmobil replied to chuckyr's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Great to see built up test shots of this kit. I'm really looking forward to it. Since I already have the C600 stake bed, the C600 delivery and the C900 tractor I think maybe I have to do some kind of kitbashing project with parts from these kits. That 534 SD V8 sure would be fun to put in something else. -
Looking for the best 1932 Ford frame in kitform
Atmobil replied to Atmobil's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks you very much for all the replies. I knew I had seen threads on here about this before. My current idea for a model is actually mostly just a frame with an engine bolted in it and a stock look would be the best. It is a sort of "forest wreck" diorama idea I got and I'm not sure I would need suspension on it and if so it would be the front suspension only. -
Yes, I do actually have some tiny chains from one of these crafts stores. I used some of it as tailgate chains on my 78 Dodge D100 a few years ago. What I'm hoping for is to see some pitcures of how the photoetch set have been used on the model. I can probably figure it out on my own aswell. I will have to bend the long part (the two on the top right on the etch) and figure out how to attach that to the truck.

I am trying to finish the 64 C10 that I started like ten years ago. I converted it to a 4x4 and used the Model Car Garage photoetch set on it. I'm now looking at the tailgate lock/chain part. Truing to figure out what way to best use this. Anyone here have used these parts and want to share some tips and maybe pictures of how you did it?

Yes, it is a Europa. Tamiya made a excelent kit of it.

Thank you all for you kind comments and to Dwayne Stephenson (Drummerdad), loosing you son must really have been hard. We have two kids and at the moment, they are the only ones keeping me alive. I can not imagine the pain of loosing a child. I have loved my wife for 15 years and still do, and it will take quite some time before I stop loving her.

So, I have not built that many models in later years, the reason for that is family life and work. But this last fall I ended up with a mental breakdown due to my work and at the same time my marriage to my lovely wife was starting to break up. We got togheter when I was 20 and she was 17. We have spent 15 years toghether, got married on our 10th anniversery in 2015. We bought our house in 2009, welcomed our first born son in 2012 and our second son in 2017. These 15 years have been great and wonderfull but also hard and difficult at times. We struggled our way trough christmas and the first month of the year. We celebrated our 15th anniversery on January 16th with a hope that we where going to make it trough but on February 10th my wife said enoguh is enough. She wanted out? Now, she has gotten her own place to live, she is taking the kids and most of our furniture with her. The last few months have been the worst of my life, in fact my life very nearly ended. The house will be empty, no more kids laughing or crying. No more cozy movie nights with my dearest. And at the same time, I can not go back to my job because of my health. Last summer I packed up all my modelkits and started work on a new hobby room in the basement. Work stopped after the summerholiday and I have not done anything after that. I now sit in an empty hobbyroom in a soon to be empty house and I'm facing a huge amount of financial difficulties to be able to keep owning the house. So, at the moment, my life is just on hold. Modelbuilding is something I want to do but have difficulties concentrating on. I have only done minor modelling work in the last 6 months. Hopefully I can be able to pick up the pieces of my life and continue some time in the future.

http://imcdb.org/vehicle_46712-Ford-Econoline-E-350-1982.html IMCDB claims that the one in the movie is a 1982 E-350. Would be cool to have the kit even if the details are wrong.

"Holy Grail" Models?
Atmobil replied to Billy Kingsley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The fake box art I made was a Revell AG box with a W110 Fintail on it. I will see if I find the picture again and repost it. I do have that ITC kit, sadly not very good. Last summer I "babysat" a 1960 180 "ponton" like you grew up with. Here it is with my ex-wife posing next to it: -
What is this?
Atmobil replied to stitchdup's topic in 1:1 Reference Photos: Auto Shows, Personal vehicles (Cars and Trucks)
Looks like it says Dodge just behind the front wheel. Probably built on a Dodge D-300 chassis buy the looks of it.
