OK, I saw this picture on line. I don't have a clue as to where it is, what store, when or any other details, except for the fact that I, and i'm sure many of you, if not all, have seen this type display at some point in your hobby life.
My mentioning of the paint rack ( which was actually BOTTLED hobby paint ) at Walmart was my dismay that those at Walmart thought they would give Plastic Modeling and all that went with it another shot, only to be set upon by the same miscreants that set upon the paint aisle pictured.
Hope this clears things up for you. It's all good Greg, here's just a little more attention.

MCG is very much in business--they were at NNL East, showed test shots of a number of new PE detail sets there.
Art
I kinda figured by their website (Last updated in 2012) that they had either called it quits or slowed down. What other sets are they working on and does someone have pictures?
-
Model Car Garage is going to be doing a PE set for this kit.
MCG is still in business? I haven't seen anything new from them in years.
-
Those are just about as cool as they are dangerous.
Needless to say I'd buy a kit of one. -
Now this is how a tutorial should be written up. Clear instructions, pictures with drawn out directions, and a shopping list. Excellent tutorial!
-
I don't think I could imagine working with decals that big easily,excellent builds.
-
Absolutely stunning build.
-
Gorgeous. That engine could hold it's own as model.
-
Nice rice.
Looks stock to me.
-
That E30 has my attention.
-
Now if only there was someone that made a CB 350 kit. I'll definitely pick up both even though I already have the Tamiya Trail 70. BTW does anyone have some good pictures of the MPC Trail 70,I've never seen what's inside the box of one.
-
Me too. Beautiful slippery shape. I'd chop it, slam it, and put a couple of multifuel mini-turbines in it, as powered the hybrid Jag C-X75 prototype.
Now that's a car we need a kit of. I personally have never been a fan of Jaguar but the C-X75 is one of the most beautiful prototypes I've ever seen. Kinda makes me think of a British NSX.

There are soo many interesting vehicles which made the short list of this or that maufacturer, but the bottomline is still the same, if there's not enough interest from the distributors and retailers, it doesn't fly.
There's another breaking ground vehicle out there, also from a indipendent manufacturer, but sold in much bigger numbers and worldwide..
Tesla.....why are there no model kits from their model lineup, it would be perfect for the internet generation and greenies (read power junkies not gas monkies)
I would be interested in a Tesla kit. I saw one on campus a few weeks back and was blow away by just how elegant but yet subtle the styling is,online pictures don't do them justice.
-
Excellent build,where did you source the engine from?
-
Good news. I'm not going to question them as to why I'm getting so much but I'm getting $500 more than the truck is worth (The KBB value came out around $2,100) and they aren't touching the title. I think I'll head on over to pick-n-pull next weekend and get a new bumper and just put the rest in the bank.
-
Old photos aside it looks like and excellent build.

OK...you DON'T have to let the other insurance company "total" your truck. Tell them YOU WANT IT REPAIRED.
YOU WANT THE MAXIMUM THEY'LL GIVE YOU TO REPAIR IT WITHOUT TOTALLING (this is if it's otherwise a good vehicle that you know well. Insurance RARELY pays enough for an old "total" to replace it with something as good. You usually end up with a collection of other problems instead..
I've been doing a little research and going that route is something I'm going to counter with if the agent tries to total it. I've also thought about telling them to replace it but then I'd have to re-familiarize myself with the condition of a "new" truck and figure out all it's little quirks. Kinda aggravating,while my little s-10 hasn't been the funnest vehicle ever it sure is reliable and I know it is mechanically sound. Pre-accident I would have no concerns for a 500 mile trip,that peace of mind is something I really enjoyed about my truck.
-
Excellent build so far!Also I really like you photography. You should consider picking up Tamiya's recent release of the 300 SL to display next to it.
-
I kinda want to do a 69 long bed,looks like I'm going to need to get both.
-
Well I'm not super worried about the frame,I'm just mainly worried about the other drivers insurance completely writing off my truck as totaled and giving me a salvage title which would absolutely kill the value of it. If that does happen I may try and sell my truck and upgrade to a Miata,I've seen a lot of decent ones in the 3000 range.
-
Keep in mind you will not find everything you want in one place,usually it's just a luck of the draw. Also if you befriend a few guys with collections not only do you get some model buddies but I'm sure they'd be glad to sell a kit or two to get another,especially at a decent price if it's to a friend.

It was external,right under the driver side of the cab. It was like a ten dollar part from Autozone
-
There was a show in Knox this weekend? Great score on those Esci kits BTW.
Hope this clears things up for you. 
Needless to say I'd buy a kit of one.
Foose - Revell Partnership

Just thinking aloud here,if it said two new tools are coming out of this partnership this look like two radically modified cars that Revell doesn't already have,Probably going to be these...Trust me I'd love a new F100 tool but Revell already has one of those.
