Okay. Fun and creative article. I'm a little disappoint it's not real. But, cool none the less.

By the way, in the photo above with Robby and the LeSabre, what is Robby doing to the LeSabre? He has the hood open. Should Harley Earl be worry the next time he drives it? Or is Robby hopping it up, so it can go as fast as vehicle he drove in the Forbidden Planet? Do anybody know the story behind this photo? And are there others?

Yea. You guys got some snow. Beautiful to look at. A pain in the butt to move. Even by Minnesota standards you got a lot of snow in one snowfall. We've been very lucky here this winter. A few very cold days recently. But, not too much snow. It's actually been a pretty winter this year. I've got very little to complain about.

Both the Nazi flying saucer and the crazy super tank are pretty cool. Weird. But cool.

I'm very happy that I'm not having to share weather with the east coast this weekend. In we're getting a January thaw. As I write this, my digital thermometer just showed 30 degree Fahrenheit. The sun is shining. What a difference from the last two weekends. And it looks like it will be staying like this for the next few days. Life is good. I can stop searching for my gun. ? I'm happy again. I am sorry for all of you guys out east.

The LeSabre and Robby! Very cool.

Much cooler than I expected. I want one too!

Really? I've never seen that happen from just regular use on any full frame vehicle. That is an odd one.

Ah, the good old Phatom Corsair. Since the Phatom hangs out in the jungle and is known for riding a horse. I don't think it fits him. There are two "super" heroes famous for riding around in sleek black cars. Batman and Green Hornet. The would work well for either one. Just maybe need to ad a large dorsal fin, center, rear, to the car to be a great Batmobile.

Okay, so maybe I'm wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. Won't be the last. Though I see nothing about an FXX-K in the link you've provided.

This one, I am waiting for! Again, thanks for keeping us up to date Dave.

Even though I have no interest in this one, I like the fact that keep us up to date Dave. And, just because my interest is low, it doesn't mean I don't think you have another winner on your hands. I'm sure you do. It sounds like something a lot of builders will be hot for.

Lots of speculation. And little to no facts. What is the point of this thread? Let me know when Tamiya really tells us something. Until then....

Two more I'd love to see. Though with the 300s from the 50's, I want the four-door convertible.

Great comparison, Chris. It looks to me that Moebius and AMT both did a great job on their kit's bodies back in the day. It would be fun to see how other parts compare.

Never mind about the coconut. Looking at the photos again, I see that it is a seashell. Still turned on very cool!

Turned out great! I love the accessories you've added. Bring the kit up to date a bit. Is one a half of a coconut, by the way? And if so, what's the story on that?

Okay stuff. But nothing that really knock me over with feather. The Hurst Olds is of some interest to me. Along with the '48 Ford. Got mixed feelings about the A coupe. I like the roadster. Which I have. But, I need to see how different the coupe is from the roadster before buying.

Thank god!

What Revell kits are you building that have chassis that remind you early 60's AMT kits. I like early 60's AMT kits.

I don't know which irks me more. Hearing that was 71 degrees where you live? Or the the thought of you sunbathing? Being that your a model builder and from your name, a guy. I just don't even like thinking about it! ?

Coupe or convertible, of the above.

His role in Dual was to be "Johnny Milktoast."

You and Charlie? Forget it!..... Nah, just kidding. It would be fun to come out there. But, the way the budget is looking right now. It will not be this year.

I get my best deals on eBay. And I mostly buy things using the "buy it now" feature.
