  1. Submarines have always been a bit scary with the close quarters and dark waters. Not too bad in scale but years ago I went through the U-505 exhibit at CHICAGO MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. It was tight. There was video of the capture on the high seas. Those guys were tough. U-505 Submarine - Museum of Science and Industry (msichicago.org) Nice work on the U-217
  2. Hi guys: Had the Mayflower on my mind because we had a discussion on the subject at this weekend's car show. Plymouth had the Mayflower on their cars for years. Had a 48, it had the Mayflower coming at you on the grill, traveling with you on the hood and hubcaps, going away on the taillights.
  3. What was I thinking? The Jolly Roger on the Mayflower! Come on, that was funny.
  4. Hello : I was a bit vague with my opening because I wanted some first impressions on any boat subject. Thanks or your thoughts. I'm comfortable with categories' as they are.
  5. Nice, It's a beauty. I hadn't thought about ships I was thinking trailer boats. Welcome aboard. got me wondering about the difference between a ship and a boat so I Googled it. Everyone agrees a ship is larger than a boat but how large? I Liked Wikipedia definition. " a ship can carry a boat, but a boat can't carry a ship. Is that the Mayflower ?
  6. When I was a kid we would take our Eldon wood burning set and melt plastic on to old model cars and than crash them into each other demo derby style. If only I had one of these .https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Remco-Clyde-s-Car-Crusher-ORIGINAL-BOX-ONLY-No-Toy-Included/274372192580?_trkparms=aid%3D1110004%26algo%3DSPLICE.COMP%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200423103423%26meid%3Dd31b55ee62ab4a84aabf2ee87e1ef52f%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D392804648133%26itm%3D274372192580%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3Ddefault%26brand%3DRemco&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850
  7. Hello: Thanks for the info and interest. That's it. Not surprised this is a imaginary buggy, it has a cartoon quality to it. I have a few vw buggies built and often search for dune buggy on ebay and these have never come up before so I try again after seeing your responses searching for Bo Weevil and there it is a brand new unbuilt Bo Weevil. I hit buy it now and both are on there way. I will post some kit pictures after they arrive Here is another pic from ebay listing Merk
  8. Hello: Just bought this buggy off Ebay. Never seen this kit before. It has a Corvair engine. Any info? Most buggy kits I've seen are copies of real buggy's. Anyone see this in 1:1 Feel free to discus any buggy interests. Thanks Merk
  9. Hello: Super Nice Work. The proportions are perfect. I'm going to use your inspiration and get to work on some of my own stuff. Thanks for posting. Merk
  10. I used to only buy models manufactured in the USA and then only from local privately owned hobby shops that provide birth control for their employees. But It has come to my attention that the manufacture and construction of model cars is harmful to the environment and I no longer can in good conscience build another model. I beg you all Please stop buying and building models. No model ever feed a child.
  11. I really enjoyed seeing this one. Thanks, Merk
