There's a 21 year old girl in our office who is hog wild for the 80's and has built her life around the fashion and culture and surrounds herself with cassette tapes, records, posters and clothes, mostly gotten at thrift store prices. The more she squeals over it the older I feel. But I'm learning to see what she sees in it so for that reason, if this excites a pocket of young, participating modelers, I'm for it. Personally it doesn't interest me... (much).

Um, it occurs to me I may have misread your request. These are the AMT wheels, not the Revell ones. Yours if you want them but you're probably looking for something else.

Even sitting on your desk it looks real. Good job.

That’s amazing. And I seldom use that word.

Pretty sure I’ve got the wheels. Can check this evening and pm you a pic.

Not that I have any skin in the game but I've always thought a fun CBP theme would be vehicles named after physical places; Monte Carlo, Denali, Mercury, (Ferrari) California, Galaxie, Europa, (Taurus?), Fairlane, Eldorado, Caprice (Ghana), Daytona, Malibu, Bonneville, Comet (of your choosing), Torino, Polara, Bel Air, Plymouth, Riviera, Tudor, etc, etc. If you Google enough you could probably find someplace named after almost anything. Heck, you could make the argument that a vehicle with just a number could be a physical address, but you would have to state the address. "Cannonball GPS."

Lovely hot rod. Pleasure to view.

Just curious, is there a way for viewers to track the voting or do we just wait for your announced results?

I think you've done a great job Enzo running this CBP in an orderly, informed and engaging way. I nominate White Rabbit to run the next Cannonball. All in favor say, "Aye." The ayes have it. You're in 😃.

Your builds are always an education Dennis. Looking forward to seeing what other tips I can steal from you 😄.

The most important dos is participation. Show your work along the way and support the work of others. A group build is a community affair and without actively participating, it's just building a model. Be courteous and have fun.

To that store's credit, it stayed open years longer than I ever expected and only closed because the owner died. He as much told me that he wasn't making any money. So glasses raised to him and his memory for keeping the doors open just for the love of the small hobby business and the people he served.

Still looking for these? I found a set. Single piece units that you'll have to paint.

Love the creativity and that fussy engine is dazzling.

Jeez Chuck, you've been busy. Considering the slab sided nature of the Lincoln, the straight windshield was probably the way to go anyway. The pipe bumper validates it.

I'd like to see a couple tutorial photos or more elaborate description. This looks like the kind of thing that could really wreck something if the technique or tool is misunderstood.

This is a good old kit. Should just about fall together for you.

I somehow gravitate toward '53 Chevies; about 4 or 5 in boxes, 3 glue bombs, 3 started, 0 finished.

I think if it was mine it would have manifested itself as scratch built space station.

I LOVE RADICAL customs. Some real clever ideas here, many. Excellent work and wonderful photography. I approve.

This is my favorite for my own sick reasons; laughable photoshopping, poor photography AND the product only occupies about 20-percent of the cover from an angle that doesn't let the modeler see what the body looks like. Yes, it could have intended to be campy, but it's funnier believing it wasn't. I love it.

It's a delight to see such an unusual subject done so nicely.

I admire your commitment to keep with it through the years. Your interest in the subject really paid off. Nice work.

There's some nice detail here, especially in how you see reflected light. Good work.

This is lovely. Those wheels are fun aren't they if you want colored spokes?
