What are "slodiers"? ? You need a spell checker. And the more I think about, the more I need a Polar Lights Guillotine kit.

I've come back to this one. I think I need to find one for my collection. Maybe the one with the additional "glow in the dark" figure?

Wow! Two stunning looking Vette models. Beautiful.

I'm still happy with the one I built. I don't know what's exactly right or not on this kit. I'm no expert on drag cars of that period. Or any other for that matter. I just liked the way it looked when I finished mine. I like the nostalgic feel of both this kit and AMT's old Double Dragster kit. Add the old Monogram Long John Streamline Dragster, and my dragster drag racing fantasies are pretty much taken care of. Bring back Revell's early 70's Jungle Jim Camaro, and Monogram's Mean Maverick, your got all of my funny car drag racing fantasies taken care of too. Though I am looking for the Revell Jungle Jim Monza too. Not for car. But, for the figures of Jungle Jim and Jungle Pam (mainly Pam).

Yea, the Magnum would be cool too. Just not the '75 - '78 Charger. The Omni Charger of the mid-80's is more true to the Charger nameplate, than the 70's Charger Córdoba clone. A '79 Córdoba 300 or a '78, '79 Magnum would be cool with me.

I love the Revell snap-kit '63 Corvettes. I have several in my collection. Being curbside kits doesn't bother me one bit. And as noted in the past, one of the things I like about them, is they represent Powerglide cars with air conditioning. A fuelie with a four-speed is what I would really want in real life. But, a Powerglide '63 Vette with air, would be nice too. So, in model form, I have AMT's '63 Corvettes for taking care of my performance, fuelie, four-speed, with aluminum wheels fantasy. And the Revell kits with stock wheel covers, Powerglide, and air, for my relaxed cruising/touring fantasies. Other the real car, what more can one ask for?

Keith Marks up in Winnipeg, if not frozen right now, I believe offers decals for the SC/Rambler. I think that's were I got mine?

I too would love to see that generation T-Bird done in similar manner to the stock version of Revell's Monte. All though I'm not a big fan of the grille or taillights on the '79 T-Bird. I prefer the '77 or '78 better. Another one in that same vane, would be the '75 - '79 Córdoba. Preferably a '79 Córdoba 300. With popularity of these two cars at the time, why they weren't offered as model kits then or now, is beyond me.

I've been there twice. Still the best car museum I've ever been to. And I've been to few. The Auburn-Cord-Deusenberg ranks number two. I need to get back to both museums soon. Both are well worth the trip.

That is very cool. I like it.

I second that. Two I'd love to see in 1/24 or 1/25.

Another addition to the collection. And probably the last one for awhile. Time to do more building. Spend my money more on paints to finish projects. And less on adding more projects.

Your build, a page or two back, was the inspiration for me seeking out this kit. I really like the looks of this plane, and the looks of the kit. The pilot leaves a little be desired. Still I plan on using him. Thanks Snake. You and Ace have gotten me to seek out and add some very cool airplane models to my collection lately.

Everything is there, and in good shape. Including the decals. I'm happy with this one.

Blu-Ray. Yes! Still love this show. Mainly the first season. Great adventure. The later two mainly on nostalgia. The ones focusing on characters other than Dr. Smith are generally the best. Don't get me wrong, I like Jonathan Harris and his mainly early version of Dr. Smith. But, the stories focusing mainly on Dr. Smith, Will, and the robot together, got a little too silly and childish after awhile. Still I love this series. I was seven years old when this first hit the screens. And I wanted to be Will Robinson so bad. I may cringe as I watch certain episodes. But, in general, I'm looking forward to another great ride.

I got mine on Saturday. Thanks Tom. I'll be bringing it up at the next MCCM meeting.

I kind of like the looks of the car posted in the video. It's okay. Not as cool as Syd Mead's designs. But, not bad. The idea of building the car the way they do, is very cool and interesting.

A couple of good looking Lindberg airplane kits joined the collection today. First the Gee-Bee Air Racer. Second the Laird-Turner Meteor. Also arriving at the same time a copy of Edward H. Phillips' book Beechcraft Pursuit of Perfection - A History of Beechcraft Airplanes. First impressions after opening the two kits? Wow! They are big. As Ace noted, the Gee-Bee has to be bigger than the 1/32 scale claimed on the box. The Laird-Turner Meteor also looks too big for 1/32. With the quick glance, both kits look pretty nice. No flash. Nice decals. They both look like should be fairly easy builds. I'm particularly impressed that the Bee-Gee comes with wire to do rigging. A nice added bonus I did not expect. In general I'm pleased. They both look like very nice kits.

Who's been in my house taking pictures? My collection has gotten out of hand. But, I love it.

By the way, I can not find anyplace online, why Mr. Howard named his plane "Mister Mulligan." Does anybody out there know why?

Guess what? I found a Testors' reissue of Mister Mulligan, complete, for under $15 on eBay. I didn't see it at first because I only searched for models titled "Mister" Mulligan. Later I did a search under "Mr" Mulligan, and I was offered a few more options. The Testors' repop is titled "Mr. Mulligan" on at least one later edition. Under "Mr" Mulligan I found one I liked both the condition and price on. So I plonked down the coin. And hope to have it sometime next week.

Now I need one of those ☝️ too! Stop it Ace! And no, sorry to say, the Hawk Supermarine S6B I just purchased did not come Mister Mulligan too. Mister Mulligan may be added sometime in the future. At the right price.

Went and found an original on eBay, and what looks like a complete, Hawk kit. Which of course is same kit as what's in the Testor's box. And your right Snake. It's obviously an old and simple kit of a very cool plane. Still I think it's awful that Ace forces me to do such things. And a British racing plane besides.

Darn it Ace. Why did you have to go show the above to us? Just one look at the box art tells me I've got to have one now. The box art looks great. But, how are the contents inside the box?

Ooh! Did I get a nice one in today's mail. Revell's Stearman Aerobatic Biplane. In 1:48 scale. Opening the box, all I can say is Wow! Obviously this is a kit made from a newer die. It's beautiful. The details and layout of the parts look to be very well thought out. Nothing in the instructions looks too tricky. And the decals look great. I've already decided I'm going to build version 2, "Barnstormer Aero Showes." Rather than the version 1, "Air Devils Stunt Wing Walkers." Man, am I impressed just looking at this kit. I can't wait to get this one done.
