Sam I Am

I have been having a major squirrel moment the last month or so. My wife is an amateur photographer and has been all her life. I used to be, but not at her level. Recently I was inspired to dig out our old 35mm slr cameras (she has been dslr for many years now) and start tinkering with them again. I find that I enjoy the tinkering with probably more that the taking of pics. Here is an old Minolta that I just rescued, as well as my current collection. I am always looking for more, and am willing to trade plastic for cameras, lenses, etc, in any condition.

Nothing like an old salt box style farmhouse. I grew up in one myself. Great dio.

I want to take a road trip with it ! Great job Tom !

If you don't, maybe we can work something out. I like it. ?

I hope you got the license plate number of the guy who drove through your wall...?

That is my plan, and I already have both kits. ?

You did an awesome save.

Bill, I have a few of the old International super single fronts off their cement mixer. I will check tomorrow and let you know how many and measurements.

Ismael, after watching what you did with the Viper, I have no doubt you will be happy with this one. Sam

I have Scott covered on the tires as well as the C600. ?

Great work everyone. I have been fine tuning my Challenger build while my mind has been elsewhere. My middle son got married last Saturday and the months leading up to it just kept getting crazier. I should say the last year has been crazy. My oldest was married in September. That's two in five months... Hopefully I can get back to the bench soon.

That is a beautiful rendition and color for this car.

Great transaction with Oldmopars!

Great transactions with Crowe-t, DPNM, and fordf-100. Thanks guys!

At 3pm Pacific time today, I get a daughter in law!

At 3pm pacific time today, I get a daughter in law. That pleases me VERY much !

Oh man, such great ideas flowing with these '63s !

Good ! I built that 41 Plymouth when I was about 13, and the 49 Ford when I was about 18. Other models came and went but for some reason I have hung onto these. The Plymouth and the 67 Chevelle have both been put in the purple pond. ?

You want to trade it to me for something Bill? Seems like they all are finding me somehow. ?

Go grab a can and feel the love Tom. I get that, it seems that a number of times 4-5 members will all post a new build and it's the same kit, and it isn't even a new release. Just call me "Jade" Oh yea, it is a very transparent and heavy paint. Very easy to get impatient with it. Both of mine have sags in them and two of the ones I traded for are a little heavy in areas while the third one is light because its thin. lol Yea, something about that color is contagious. I painted a 39 Chev delivery, and one other model that I can remember.

Now that is a cool subject in any media form.

Baby steps. I have been able to finish up the axle assemblies and repair the wheels. I also was able to make a trip to Michael's and pick up some basswood strips.

...and me ! I figure every one of us have painted a model with Testors jade green metallic in our lifetime. The last two weeks I have felt like the jade green metallic magnet. It started out with me unpacking a couple old builds from my youth, a 41 Plymouth and a 49 Ford. Then I did some trading and ended up with a 60s Dodge pickup, 67 Chevelle, and 66 Chev pu...all in, you guessed it, jade green metallic... I am almost afraid to keep trading.

I am jealous. Dont laugh too much but back in high school, one of the cars I owned was a 73 Pinto with factory sunroof and trunk. 2.0/4spd, with a webber conversion and header. Stiffer shocks, and aluminum turbo IIs mag wheels. A very quick little car that handled like a slot car. A model of one would be cool.

Is that Pinto a hatch or trunk model?
