jeffs396 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hey guys, I just talked to Rich's lovely bride. He is fine, just spending a few weeks with Tom Valenta in NC after the NNL East show. He'll be home Memorial Day weekend. She wanted to thank everyone for their concern! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Does anyone know who the Elvis impersonator was? I walked into the bathroom and saw him standing there in his rhinestone jumpsuit and thought I was hallucinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Impersonator? You WERE hallucinating as Elvis was in the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drgon63 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hi guys. This is Rich Manson "reporting to you" from beautiful, warm, Hendersonville, NC. I'll be returning home on Saturday, and I can't wait to dive into working on the Modelhaus resin kits that were shipped to my home since the Holthaus's missed the NNL East show due to the tragic loss of their son. I've got a '56 Cadillac. '56 Dodge and '56 Mercury just waiting for my attention. I also picked up a chopped '50 Oldsmobile resin body from M.A.D. to use with the '50 Olds Custom kit from Revell. I also picked up kits of the Moebius '54 Hudson Club Coupe and the Revell '57 Chevy convertible. Those cars, along with the pile of other 1950's cars in my stash will be keeping me busy for the rest of this year and beyond. In addition to the kits I got a bunch of M.A.D. distributors, some parts from Norm Veber, sheets of BMF and some paints and primers. I'll be well stocked for awhile. I got lucky on EBAY and scored Franklin and Danbury Mint cars of a '50 Chevy, a '53 Packard, a '54 Chevy and a '57 Cadillac. These are all cars for which no "good" kits existed of and I got them all for about $100 total, plus shipping. Now I've got to start saving up for next year's NNL spending spree. Yes, I am alive and well and I thank all those who may have been concerned about my absence here on the Forum. I'll have plenty of things to post here along with some pretty cool pictures.

Drgon63 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 By the way, the "Elvis Impersonator" at the Simpsonville, SC show is a guy named Ed Thompsen in the Spartanburg, SC chapter of the SCMA (South Carolina Modelers Assoc.). He wears that outfit at all of the shows and has fun doing it. He's a nice guy who is also an "ex New Yorker". Rich Manson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Glad to hear that Rich is okay. I too was worried about him, so I contacted Tom Valenta and he pointed me here. Looking forward to Rich's daily reports as he builds these great old classics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
