Seems like the art you guys are posting is really old. Today Ed at Revell/Monogram has had me very busy producing art and John at AMT/MPC is doing a fantastic job re-creating vintage art. Mobius box art always inspires me, ALWAYS! (Thanks Sean) These days, the shelf at the hobby shop seems devoid of the crappy box art we suffered through in the 80's. I love browsing through the model kits again. Not sure what this thread has to offer. P.S. If I forgot to mention an artist, sorry. P.P.S. I loved the box on that MPC 1907 Lancaster! Bought it and built it as shown with my paper route money. SO THERE!

Not sure how old... 61 I guess. -
I will miss working with you.

AMT boat kit
Jairus replied to Mercuryman54's topic in WIP: All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
My only problem with that kit is the scale. It seems like it scales out to a 14' boat to me making the layout wrong. 18" to 24" would be more correct for a duel cockpit boat. I started one myself turning it into a proper 14' fiberglass boat with an outboard and four close seats circa late 50's. As a stand-alone project, the hull looks BEAUTIFUL! But the scale is closer to 1/28th if you go measure a real one. -
Yes, Basswood and spruce.

Are you milking this thread Harry? (I received issue #201 on Saturday.)
-
Personally, I like the old stuff best. More scale looking.

That's very nice! Might interest you to know that Revell was considering doing a kit of this car. The Baker Family and Revell couldn't agree on a deal so they canceled the release, but I did finish the artwork.

I LIKE what I see so far very much. Hoping you dealt with the too high nose stance. Because that beautiful machine needs a bit of a rake.

At the very minimum you need a driver. -
Revell Germany London Bus
Jairus replied to pturley84's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I was thinking the same thing. The bus is beautiful... but appears abandon. -
People only complain. They rarely compliment. And most of the members here don't even subscribe...

Boring. Finish your '29 Roadster. The clock is ticking...... -

Jairus replied to Ramfins59's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Yup. I'm in the latter category. I look every day but rarely post. Most of the time... when I am building, it's for magazine articles. Posting projects like that is like tipping your hand at a poker game... -
Greater Salt Lake Championship?
Jairus replied to Jantrix's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have been there many times. Well worth the trip, but do it as cheaply as possible. Stay at Super 8 and cut meals down to two a day if possible. I have both driven and flown. Prefer driving, but if you can travel with someone you like, that makes the the trip easier. As has been mentioned, yeah, competition IS fierce. But what else do you expect from the Best of the Best? I hope to attend in May of 2017 as well. Hey, can I buy you a beer Bill? -
Ah.. what lawn? Seriously tho, the build looks GREAT! Weather away or build a second. Otherwise it won't be correct, right?

Opel Blitz "DAK" style
Jairus replied to Agent G's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very nice paint and weathering. I suspect you hand made the boxes and other details?
