Sam I Am

All I can say is....WoW!

That is a race car hauler ramp body for a big rig.

It is a 90 year old car, bound to be some sag to the top bows.

So... I see that coffee stirrers, sheet balsa, and sheet basswood have been used. Anybody use popsicle sticks or tongue depressors? Just throwing that out there because I have an hour drive to Michaels and more to HL.

It was not me but that was the thread I was talking about.

Found time to scrub the trailer. A little warm water, dawn, and an old toothbrush does wonders. Now I need to go find that thread that discussed wooden decks...

Had a great trade with ranma!

This came in today from a trade.

Thanks guys. I am guessing that the green car was all testors enamels with how quickly the paint came off. If you notice the black paint in the engine compartment of the purple one came off quickly as well. I am using Super Clean here. While I have used dot3 brake fluid in the past, I have yet to try the 90% alcohol.

Yesterday I put a pair of 67 Chevelle bodies in the purple pond. This morning the one that was painted green was completely stripped. The purple one was hardly touched. I put the interior and chassis of the green car in the pond this morning and as of this post it is almost clean.

Beautiful Ranchero. I have one in the stash and I do not look at it as having a bad rap, but due to others building it, I now know it's short comings just like all kits have.

Nice touch with the frame matching the graphics.

You certainly do outstanding work in the smaller scale. I had no idea there were such a variety of subjects.

Let's do the Ranch Wagon then, that way neither of us has to go find one. With everything else going on my bench, how about no time restraints?

That is a great looking rendition!

Glad to hear the decals arrived safely. Ok, here is a short list of kits I have that I do not have plans for. lol Revell 50 Olds Custom Revell 57 Ford Del Rio Ranch Wagon AMT 70 Super Bee Revellogram 1960 Impala hardtop AMT 62 Buick Electra 225 Revell Jeep Honcho MPC 1986 Elcamino SS Also have a Revell 66 Chevy Suburban coming in the mail this week.

I took part in a CB on another board years ago and thought It was pretty cool. You and another member team up with identical kits. You take the body and any other pieces that need to be painted body color.....paint them, trim them, decal them, have a completely finished body, and mail it to the other member who does the same with his. You build the rest of the kit yourself and when you are finished you have a model on your shelf that, by outward appearance, is from another modeler. I think it really pulls the community together and builds friendships. Anybody in?

Looking forward to the conversion.

That IS what I did. ?

As my wife would put it, I have been "giddy" with what the postal worker has dropped at my door. These are what I have received from some great trades with multiple members.

Great variety of builds going on.

Just finished up great trades with Scott8950, Oldcarfan27, and Modlbldr. Great bunch of guys !

Following this one also!

Beautiful 59's ! I will be watching these.

The earth tones look so good on this one. Great job!
