Glad to see you are still cranking out these masterpieces! Bummer you won't be at Bakersfield, but, Pomona is not bad!

What!? No tumbleweed? LOL! Great job, Doc!

Not an advertisement car, but just a cool pic

Finally! The replacement for my replacement arrived! And it is good! Big thanks to Steve G, Doug and Leonard! Don't let this stop you from buying a pretty cool kit, if you have the body issue, they will gladly replace it for you. Sorry for the late night fuzzy pic

No, #3 is anything Mopar, especially obscure options and hub caps!

Then do what the San Diego Model Car Club did, we took over the Automotive section! Car guys judging cars! We range in age and in taste of cars, and being in So Cal, we cover it all. So maybe volunteer at the show to be a judge, just don't judge the categories you might be in and offer advice on how to judge cars. It does not have to be that hard to participate, unless they have a total lock on outsiders participating in their show. We also ask, and encourage, out of town car builders to help us judge. Great way to get some experience in judging and seeing what it takes to place in the categories.

Got it, thanks

Def Jam?

It's for making a Brougham Landau Top! LOL !

Very nice! Who is the vendor? Please.

This hobby has gone from models being just a block of wood and four wheels, with a vague idea of what it was supposed to be, to 3-D Printed Replicas. And still, they both require the skill of a builder to make them whole and finished. The skill is what is on trial at the shows, and it should be. You can buy the most detailed 3-D kit around, but if you lack skills, then it will be not so good. So unless you can 3-D print modeling skills, then I really don't see the big fuzz about it. Just my thoughts.

The most unique parts of this kit are the body and the interior "tub" and if that tooling survived, it should be able to be re issued, as the chassis is the same as the Judge funny car.

I have been in contact with Steve G. and he informed that someone accidentally sent me an old one vs. the new ones. A new one will be sent to me. Thanks for the help, Steve G.!

Nice to see you got the buck for the M/T Attempt 1! I remember that sitting in his living room, with tons of his 1/16 funnies he was producing for Racing Champions at the time. Sure miss him every time I go to the Hot Rod Reunion.

And its a swing and miss! Yes, the second body is just as bad as the first one! I am not kidding! So, will AMT try again or what is my recourse on this one?

Yeah, I nearly fainted when he told me that! But he did give me a box of Revell 1/16 test shots in various colors! He had the remains of one of the articulated molds to make the 1/16 engine blocks that got busted up when an employee was not paying attention and tried using it in the wrong working order. I wonder if his son might have it in his possession?

This is why I used to look forward to seeing the late Tom West at the races and catch up with him, he would always tell me a tale or two about the industry. I should have recorded some of it, but, then again, I don't think some of it was printable for mass consumption! LOL!

Your potato is way out of focus.
