Looks fantastic. Scott

Looks very good. Needs hub caps though. Not the chrome ones, but the white painted ones. Scott

Pretty cool. I couldn't figure out where the other driver went to at first. Scott

Tony, your story reminded me, that an uncle of mine had an early 50's Hudson in the early 60's. It too had a rear seat armrest that I thought was a special seat for kids. Something our '61 Comet didn't have. Scott

They did at one time. I don't know if they do today or not. Speaking of that. Does anybody know were one can get a '40 Ford style hood that would fit on Revell's Beetle convertible? Scott

As far as I'm concerned, you grabbed the right picture. I must admit though, the photo shopped Mark without the hump doesn't look too bad. But, still like it with both the hump and the bumper exhaust. Even with thoughs features, it's still a very clean looking car. Considering it comes from the mid-1950's. Scott

I alway expect the best from you Tulio. And you never disappoint. Very nice. Scott

Very nice. But, the last time I was in Canada you guys were still driving on the right, with your steering wheel on the left. What happened? The Queen come back and take over the country? Despite that, very nice build. Scott

I'm enjoying the personal stories people are leaving on this tread. It sounds like most of us who grew up here in the U.S. lived pretty typical American lives. At least car wise at least. I hope more people continue to share their stories here. And it would be fun to hear more about those who did not grow up in U.S. Scott

I'm not sure what to make of this one? How did he get it up on there? And look at the damage the front tire did to the box. Is this a good idea? Or even safe? I just don't know? - Scott

Your welcome Dave. But I wasn't the one who posted the link, or was even the first to mention the film. It is cool though. And yea, even if the factory put weights over the gas tank to counter this. I still can see problems driving one in the winter around here. - Scott

Oh darn, I thougt this was going to be about really pretty Polish girls. Am I disappointed. - Scott

The upper picture in Greg's last post is for sure Avanti. What the lower picture is, I don't know? - Scott

I think it was Revell. - Scott

Here's another of my favorites. The 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Corvair show car.

Your right, it is a dumb question. Just kidding. There really are no dumb questions as far as I'm concerned. Yes Fordor and Tudor were Ford only spellings for the most part. Other may have been others who used "Tudor" too. But, I've never seen it. - Scott

Here's a joke I like from the most famous Joker of them all. Batman's archenemy. This one comes from Alan Moore's great story, Batman: The Killing Joke. The Joker told it Batman after he was defeated by him. And it even made Batman laugh. So it must be a pretty good joke. "See, there were two guys in a in a lunatic asylum... And one night, one night they decide they don't like living in the asylum any more. They decide they're going to escape! So, like, they get up onto the roof, and there, just across this narrow gap, they see rooftops of the town, stretching away in the moonlight... Stretching away to freedom. Now, the first guy, he jumps right across with no problem. But his friend, his friend daredn't make the leap. Y'see... Y'see, he's afraid of falling. So then, the first guy has an idea... He says "Hey! I Have my flashlight with me! I'll shine it across the gap between the buildings. You can walk along the beam and join me!" B-but the second guy just shakes his head. He suh-says... He says "Wh-what do you think I am? Crazy?" "You'd turn it off when I was half way across!" - Scott

What is the worst vegetable to have on a boat? Leeks. What has four wheels and flies? A garbage truck. - Scott

Back to the "Boonedocker" decals. The decals replicate the dealer installed, factory authorized, "feathers" decal package for the real 1972 Blazers. From what I can tell by doing a little web searching, the real 1:1 decals did not come with decals for the rear side windows. And may have had a decal for tailgate not included on the AMT decal sheet. Other than that, it's right on. Chevrolet's ads from the time showed a white Blazer w/white top and the feathers decals. It had drawing of other package available for other Chevy. Plus there was folding brochure showing the available packages, shown below. All the photos I can find of the real decal package, show it on either an all white Blazer. Or very light yellow Blazer w/white top. Does anybody know if this package was authorized by Chevrolet to be used with other colors? Like the gold shown on the Boonedocker model kit. What other colors might this decal package look good with? Scott

Thanks, Skip - Scott

Very nice. Very clean. Scott

Now that is funny. Scott

Very nice. I did mine in purple to match my AMT Meyer's Manx. And I agree, Zingers are fun to build. For some reason I did not have the problems you had. My only question is, would air scoop work facing that direction they show. I built mine that way too. But, it just doesn't seem quite right to me. Scott

How about some photos guys! As they say, a picture speaks a 1000 words. Scott

I love the Rampside above. Someone from Europe posted a built up Premeir Rampside one time on YouTube I believe. I don't know if it's still there or not. But, I surprised how good the thing actually looked. I would love to see a model of a Rampside or Greenbriar van someday. But, this is another one I will not be holding my breather for. Scott
