You can still get the above rocket brand new. They're still being made. Go on eBay and type in "water rockets." They go for right around $10 now. And they are still fun to play with. (As you can tell by reading my posts here. I'm still nothing but a kid in a grownup' body.)

Been working through all eight seasons of Mannix on DVD lately. I own the entire original Star Trek series on DVD. I also have the Twilight Zone, Supercar, Stingray, Lost in Space, Batman, The Time Tunnel, and some Voyage to the Bottom of Sea. Plus more. And I'm thinking about adding Route 66 to my collection. So I guess I like old TV. Sad to hear that Alan Young of Mr. Ed fame, passed away yesterday. Though he was 96.

Steinbeck for me too. Love "Of Mice and Men." Bradbury and Mark Twain rank high with me too.

You bored Greg? ?

Back when Saturday Night Live was worth watching.

Just to let you guys know. The kids at the one school I work at, started on their Revell snap Camaros today. With mixed results. Despite being a snap kit, these little buggers are not that easy to put together. We only had a half-hour to work on them today. So no one got their's finished. But, they all seemed pretty please and enjoyed working on the kits. One kid threw a bit of fit when told he was told that he could not bring his home today, and finish there. The teacher wants this to be a class project. Everybody learning together. At the same time. Including her. She has never built one before herself. I will be back there next Thursday and Friday, so hopefully we'll get them finished then.

Looks pretty good.

Nice '32. And it makes great album cover. I don't know if your breaking any rules by showing the album cover with your model on it. I'd still only buy it if I liked the music. And since I've never heard your music, I'm not rushing out to buy it because of your model. After all, I can see your model here for free. I do wish you success with your music, and do hope your model attracts attention to your bands music and album.

Your right, it was Bradley.

Yep. The fins above are some of the greatest and most distinctive ever made. I believe they may be the tallest ever put on a production car. The all mighty '59 Cadillac. Back in the day, only Cadillac could go over the top like that, and make it work!

From what I remember the Bison was not too hard to build. I wish Revell would bring it or the GMC General back. In fact I'd prefer the General.

Heard anything yet Steve? I too talked to them at the NNL North as you know. I'm hoping they are as good as they sounded in person. Several MCCM member have used them with good luck, is my understanding. I have not tried contacting them yet.

Okay. That looks like a DOHC Hemi.

What year was this? And how much track time did you get for your 50 cents?

Very nice Al. But, you need to tell us more. Did you use Revell's '70 Torino for the chassis and interior? And if you did, did encounter any problems or minor tweaking that may need to be done to get it to work. I'm still considering buying the Missing Link kit. Just want to know what I'm getting into in this one before trying it.

Wow! Is this cool. What a great idea. And first three vehicles look great, I like the wheels much better than I expected. A little history before you start the Custom Fleetside. It was not based on a Chevy Fleetside pickup like one would think. It was based on Hot Wheels designer, I beleive Larry Woods, personal truck. Which was really an El Camino. There plenty of info on line. Including pictures of the real customized El Camino. I was never all that convinced it was based on an El Camino until I saw pictures of the rear truck. When you see it, you'll see the Hot Wheels version in a whole different light. Looking forward to the rest of builds. I love the idea.

Turned out pretty nice. Any more pictures?

I too would like to see the F, my all time favorite letter car.

Oh! Nice display. At a first glance I thought one my dreams came true. And the Revell decided to bring the Rewall Revival series back!

Bummer.. None on eBay yet.

The kits shown above have the DOHC Hemi in them? They look like "regular" Hemis to me. I've never seen the DOHC Hemi in any kit I've ever had. But, I'm not a big Mopar guy. And when be do build Mopars, I build showroom/factory stock versions. So a few with regular Hemis, but no DOHC versions.

One of the few modern cars I am in love with looks wise. The latest Corvette is another.

Yea. I went that route once. But, it not only smoked and drank beer. It cheated at cards too! A drunk smoking chimp I'm okay with. But, one that cheats at cards. You got to draw the line some place.

Just went over to eBay and bought a vintage smoking monkey toy. New in the packaging, with cigarettes. Had to do it. I love those old polically incorrect toys from the 50's and 60's.

Looks pretty good.
