This thread was inspired by another thread: Aurora made more than one show rod model kit but used kit names that didn't require licensing (I'm guessing here). One of the first that I spotted being the Car Craft cover version of the Li'l Coffin which (as far as I can tell) came out as "32 Skid-Doo"...as mentioned in the Li'l Coffin thread. The next Aurora show rod I spotted was the Silver Sapphire or, otherwise known as the Little Deuce Coupe from the Beach Boys song...which Aurora sold as the Ram Rod I am wondering if anyone here has ideas or info on what cars or show rods Aurora use as inspiration for the following kits: Old Ironsides Meat Wagon Hot Surfer 39 La Salle Hearse Beatnik Box Snap Dragon "T" For Two (I think I spotted this one but forgot where) Sad Sack Wolf Wagon Road Raider Moody Monster Woodin Wagon Scat Cat The Charger Shiftin Drifter Hi Stepper The Spyder

Good luck to all tomorrow. I won't be there due to company has me working in Oregon till later this year.

I was going to suggest something similar, break the cut out design into sections that have same or similar pattern, the seams could be hidden behind the reinforcement strips.

Recently, while sitting through a power point presentation regarding construction in the semiconductor industry, a slide came up that covered "electric wenches". I told the instructor that a wench was not the same as a winch and she remarked that I was the first person to point that out, at which point I noted that this presentation was created about seven or eight years ago. I should point out that the instructor was not the person that created the power point presentation but I do get an "eye roll" out of her every time I point out spelling mistakes, like... "by passing", as in defeating a safety feature. I told her that bypassing was actually one word. I find the blase attitude of well paid industry professionals with regard to documentation and spelling/grammar to be irritating and contributory to the dumbing down of not just the USA, but the whole world.

Most contest rules state that the model entry must be the sole work of the entrant (accepting that there may be exceptions for parts not included in the kit), I'm sure that most of us that have attended/entered contests have seen at least one model entry that seems to defy that rule. It's not fair in most cases, but some people feel that they need a trophy not matter the cost in honor or achievement. Contest judges are supposed to judge the entry, not the builder. I have always judged that way when I was working contests, it helps to have the builders name hidden during judging but an impartial judge would not need that.

nice conversion

copy and paste this into Google search " site:modelcarsmag.com 1/32 ", then follow the links.

I can't bring myself to do the '49 Ford, the proportions and shape of the front of the car don't look right to me. Same for the Pyro/Lindberg '52 Chevy's

that was going to my plan, just re-engineer the kit a bit so I can paint and detail it the way I want to. I just have to screw up my gumption and make some front and rear glass for them.

looks great, doesn't get much better than that.
