Those have to be the best built AMT C1 Corvettes I've ever seen! Especially the front end on the 59 considering all the parting lines from the mold. Also, The fitment of the chassis on the '53 is better than any I've seen! Excellent!

Another Corvette for the collection. Franklin Mint 1988 Corvette 35th Anniversary edition. Limited on details, but a slight improvement over the 25th Anniversary version. The top comes off and the hatch opens. The headlights don't pop up, but they are under the hood. I have the 2003 50th Anniversary on the way and that just leaves the 1953 model. I have a Monogram model to build, but I'd like to get a Danbury mint. Apparently it's going 55!

I picked this up to go with my Ryan Blaney collection. It's his dad Dave's car from 2003. Ryan Ran a similar tribute paint scheme at Darlington in 2018.

New magazine from Kalmbach

I kind of wish they'd give me this instead of another year of FSM. I had two years to go on a sub when they canceled SA. -
That turned out well!

No models to build this time, just some requested NASCAR diecast and Easy Model 1/72 aircraft.

That's some kind of trailer you have there. I have one of these Crewzers as a kit. I don't remember building it, but I must have. I guess there was never any accessories made for it so it went to storage.

Built mine right after 9/11

Mercedes 300 SEL 6,8 AMG
THarrison351 replied to Miroslav Beran's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
The Red Pig! Excellent! -
There used to be great discourse on this car, the #6 Cotton Owens Dodge Charge Daytona, and many other NASCAR race cars from the past on Randy Ayers website. Sadly, it was all lost when his servers failed and there wasn't a backup. The best discussions were from crew members or people who were associated with the cars at the time. Most, are no longer with us, so that expert history is gone. I'm glad Tim Stevens held his ground. I knew it was thin sheet metal covered with paint, but I wasn't going to throw it out there first. I'm not an expert and I couldn't find anything to back me up.

The kicker is a Chemical that instantly hardens the glue and prevents fogging. The clamps I use are like these.

Turned out excellent!

Another Corvette for a future display. Franklin Mint 1978 25th Anniversary. It's surprisingly heavy.

I picked up the Hauler last month. I've been looking for the car to go with it ever since. eBay sellers were asking too much for the NASCAR Authentics. I just happened to run across someone selling these three cars together for $14.95 and they arrived Thursday. I didn't really want the Body Armor cars, but it seemed to be a fair price, plus I get cars I can display and put back in the package. Ever since I first heard about Hailie Deegan I've been sort of following her and hoping she'd be successful. It seems like every time a woman comes to motorsports, the media builds them up and they never meet the expectations. Anyways, when I saw they were releasing her ARCA car in the NASCAR Authentics, I started scouting for it. I'm guessing everyone is too, because this is the first one I've seen and we have seven Wally Worlds, and three Targets within about 30 minutes of where I live and when I've been hunting, zip, zilch, nada until Friday, and there was only one on the three pegs that were crammed full of all of the rest of the 2020 Wave 06. I think this year has the most 1/64 scale diecasts I've collected since the nineties!

(PICS) 1/8 Scale Volga M21 kit from DeAgostini
THarrison351 replied to traditional's topic in Diecast Corner
Well, that's interesting subject matter. Looks cool! -
Don't forget the 1964 Ford Galaxie! Maybe with all updates Round 2 has done to other kits, they can add the missing exhaust dumps and fix the chassis back to the original modified stocker chassis.

Wow! Just Wow!

Action Tony Stewart Craftsman Truck 2002 Chevy Silverado
THarrison351 replied to THarrison351's topic in Diecast Corner
Thanks Randy. When I was putting all my cars back on display, I noticed how many old Action, Racing Champions, and Winners Circle have left the windows unpainted. Now that almost all of them are virtually worthless, I may start disassembling them and detailing them to make them look better. -
Great save on a beautiful car! I finished a Modelhaus resin version earlier this year to replicate my parents when I was born. It was red too, but we never could find a picture of the top (no one can remember 54 years ago when it was sold) to verify if it was red, white accented like yours, or all white. I decided to go all red and if we ever find a picture can add the white.
-
Wow! Quite the collection of team cars!

I picked this up a week ago. As found, the 2002 truck from Action was compromised in the looks by having the windows cast with detail, but never painted. Also, the interior only had a painted shifter and fire extinguisher, which was mostly hidden by the seat. The thing was, Action could have cast the interior parts in all black plastic or painted the seat, steering wheel and dash flat black and that would have made all the difference. I would not have bothered with painting this diecast if it was rare or collectible. As it is, many sale for cheap and are not in high demand. Just 5 screws held it together and some easily separated glue joints. It looks much better to me and I'm ready to display it. I've posted this in diecasts, but if the Mods feel it should be in NASCAR, I'm fine with moving it. Pre-painting: I just added three colors, black, silver, and red. Thanks for looking!

The Official EBay Discussion Thread
THarrison351 replied to iamsuperdan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The only have a couple of issues with eBay and one is sellers who gouge on shipping. I've sold quite a bit, so I know what it costs to ship through eBay. I know I don't have to buy from those sellers, and I usually don't. I'm just saying that's my biggest beef. The other problem is sellers who have no clue about proper protection for diecast if they are shipping them in non original containers. I've had some come in a box with a few Styrofoam peanuts and I'm here to tell you the weight of a diecast flattens peanuts. Fortunately the sellers refunded on the damaged models.
