  1. I just hope Revell doesn't disappear, coz in my opinion, they have produced my favorite kits...Who else puts out cars & trucks from the 30's thru the 60's...American cars? Yes, there are others...AMT, & Moebius...probably more, those two popped in my head right now, not a fan of most foreign cars, my display cases are full of Detroit iron! My all time faves are the 41 Willys Gasser kits...49 Merc, 50 Olds, 57 Chevy 150, 55 Bel Aire, the whole series of the 32 Ford's and now the 29/30 Ford kits! Don't wanna forget who did the best drag kits...or a few pro-mods! Does anybody think any foreign company would do a top fuel dragster? I dunno, I think it sucks what happened, people lost their jobs, might lose an awesome kit manufacturer...but I'm just venting, won't know anything till the dust settles...
  2. Yep, pretty freekin awesome again Donn!!!
  3. My wife & I remember this seller from quite awhile back...when I was selling slot car bodies on ebay...he started out by practically giving them away...$20 here, maybe $40 for the next one...etc...I applaud him! The most I've gotten for a body is my avatar pic...Revell's pro-mod 55 Chevy...painted & decaled , $275...I say, if ya can do it, go for it! Me...if I had $2600 laying around, I'd be paying some bills! Lol!
  4. I've seen this builder before...does an awesome job...it did take him quite awhile to get his customer base...him and Paul Herrick regularly build fantastic models! Paul has done masters for the Modelhaus...
  5. Used to own one of these...1952 Chevy Deluxe...was just like this but a 4 door and no skirts
  6. First up...a 2014 Chevy...an 85 Chevy, a bit rusty in spots, had a Forrester just like this one...but it died with almost 500,000 miles on it! Also have an 05 Buick LeSabre
  7. They do have some really nice products...the dinosaur kits, and the great white shark kits are freekin Awesome!!!!
  8. Would that be Pegasus...the company that produced the 1/24th scale dinosaur models??
  9. Got my new issue today!!! Thank you Gregg!!!!!! Awesome issue! The Read bros kicked some serious metal!
  10. My 2002 Subaru Forester...had just under 500,000 miles on it...a 1.7 liter 4 cylinder...before it died last year...was so dang fun in the snow!
  11. And check out any you tube videos of the Meltdown Drags in Byron Illinois!!! Awesome stuff right there!!
  12. HOLY cow!!!!! That is freekin AWESOME John!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. His work is amazing!!! I'v been diggin his models for years!!!
  14. I hope on the list of reissues...that they bring back the 51 Henry J...I keep missing out on 'em coz I have a buddy who drag races one that I'd like to build a replica of!! And no goofy decals! Henry and his smoking J...please!
  15. For me...getting older is what's making me do curbsides...eyes & fingers don't work as good as before, plus I don't hit the contests anymore...just my model car club...
  16. I don't have any more photos...but mine has to be Revell's 41 Willy's gasser kits...the newer ones...I've built a ton of em as slot car bodies & several as full builds...
  17. My wife is real cool with it! She takes photos for me to put on forums so I can't have any glitches in them! She also has bought several & built a few herself, heck, she's pretty dang good at doing foil work that I've had her do some for me! She likes cool old cars, but isn't the geek about em as I am! She has her hobbies that I help her with too...homemade natural soaps & lotions. I'm the guinea pig! Lol! We both like to cook, and she's also pretty dang good with a camera! She has gone to several contests with me including Wonderfest in Kentucky...which is a figure, horror, & sci-fy contest & show! I love her...she is AWESOME!!!!
  18. Thanks RonG! I did see your build! Freekin awesome man!!! My eyes aren't what they used to be...24th & 25th scale plus my sausage fingers are not getting along too well lately! Might have to go back to box stock or bigger scales!? I have the old Revell? 1/12th 57 Chevy...would like to make it a gasser or something some day...could I steal some of your ideas??? ?
  19. Just a quick question...hoping you guys can point me in the right direction...where can I get 1/12th scale drag car parts? Looking to one day build my Revell 12th scale 57 Chevy into a gasser. Thanks for any help!!!
  20. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box...but I love having an actual magazine to hold...and I know it costs alot to put it out...that's one reason I've been a subscriber from day one..."Plastic Fanatic"...I'd have no idea how to raise more cash...like above...ads on here? They suck but whatever...I prefer print but will take it anyway I can get it...
  21. The urethane doesn't dull the chrome at all...I can't comment on any other clear because I only use urethane
  22. I shoot a 3 part urethane clear over mine all the time...no problems what so ever!
