von Zipper added a post in a topic 1/64 camping diorama
Nice job Ray , it took my eyes a minute to focus between your diorama and the marble countertop but I really like the modular design . Easy to move and store and easy to add on to later .
Very creative .

My birthday is coming up soon , So my wife surprised me last night with these
Even though one of them is for her to play with - It's one of the coolest gifts I've ever got , Not so much the cars themselves but that she wants to share the time with me .

With a little sanding , the Revell '70 'cuda is a great donor to use with the Johan '71 'cuda kit
I'm thinking along the lines of a Barracuda Gran Coupe for this .

It seems that good 'ol Charlie Larkin sent me $20.00 via e-mail at 1:36am -that's weird because I've never e-mailed him nor has he ever e-mailed me .I think Charlie has been hacked .

von Zipper added a post in a topic Ferguson Tractor from Heller
This is mostly correct , although the 8N did not have any "Ferguson System' markings-it still had the Ferguson 3 point implement hitch system-THAT is and was Harry Fergusons only contribution to the Ford tractors . By 1947-48 when the 8N was coming out Henry Ford himself was either too old or died to be involved with production-Henry Ford II and Harry Ferguson were in a patent battle as to who owned the 3 point system-The Ferguson 3 point system is the same basic idea being made today on most modern tractors . Google Harry Ferguson and read about the "Hand Shake Deal"
To my mind , trying to make a Ford out of the Ferguson is like trying to turn a IH Scout into a first gen Bronco=Close but no cigar ! Besides that-Ertl made a very nice 9N in diecast that looks like it could have been a Franklin or Danbury Mint . The one I have is either 1/24 or 1/25 and is very nice-No need to do any thing to it .

$30.00 for a model car kit is sticky kid stuff-I'm trying to come to terms with 50 thousand dollars for a new pick up truck !
