Love that old school hot rod look Ray! Wide whites on big-n-little steelies, a nice rake.... Sweet build.

Ain't that the truth!!! I thought we had the most "Alfa hole" drivers in this area, they even pull this nonsense on fully loaded semi's around here. There has been an uptick in fatalities due to these people playing chicken with fully loaded oil well rigs. Seen the results of quite afew head ons cuzz of these bozo's.

It looks good!! If a ship is on active duty in a combat zone, the crews would be at battle stations more often than doing ship maintainance. The San Fransisco was at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, and she was on active duty pretty much non stop right up till the night she was almost sunk off Guadalcanal in a night action with the Japanese. Shortly Before that battle took place, the after fire control station was crashed by a shot down Japanese dive bomber. Bent that area up some, but she was still on active deployment, so she stayed on station. That night action off Savo island sound produced 3 Medals of Honor for members of the Frisco's crew. She's quite a ship with a rich history. Your building her just fine Andre. Nice to see a fellow ship modeler here.

Yep. For about the last 35 years or so.

Just finished a trade with Mike 999. Great guy to trade with!! Would trade with again any time!!

Thanks for the trade Mark. Would trade with you again any time man!!

Lol!!

Then they'll try to sell you a pill to make it go down ...

That build takes me back man. Good times!! Great build.

Love it!! Built my favorite way!! OLD SCHOOL!! Nice build.

I'd say you did the truck and your dad proud Lee. That's a beautiful truck.

Looks great!! I'm a big fan of U.S. Navy heavy cruisers, especially the New Orleans class, but most of the rust and severe weathering takes place on the hull on an active duty warship. Work parties aboard ship would be kept busy chipping and painting all metal surfaces from the main deck up, and holy stoning the decks or applying deck blue camo stain to the wood.

Hand sanitizer. We use it all the time where I work to do just that.

We grew up on a small street in a dirty old steel mill town. Yeah, we had to find ways of having fun without ticking the neighbors off too. It didn't always work either.. we used to use black powder to blow up mail boxes, and one time, an old ringer washtub basin. The mushroom clouds that stuff sent up was HUGE. Try that stuff NOW, and it's a trip to the slammer, and rightly so. We were hard headed kids who thought that doing stuff like that was fun. Dad finally caught us and brought that stuff to a very sudden and painful end. Our favorite target was a old garage at the end of the street where a lot of the older kids hung out. You either learned to run fast, or stand and fight.

Yes it is!! I have it in my stash too. Price wise, it's about an even wash between the two. At least around here.

IMHO it's the Tamiya 66 beetle. I've built quite a few over the years, and have seen detailing get better from other manufacturers, but for my money, Tamiya nailed the 66.

Both kits are STUNNING!!!

Pm. Sent

If they do, I'm ALL over that baby!! Scouts and old Bronco's are my favorite go to off roaders.

Did you scratch the door cutouts, or is that a resin piece? Sweet truck. I've been working one one of these myself. Yours looks fantastic!!

PM sent.

X2!! I wish they made Lego sets like that when I was younger. That is just amazing!!

Cool looking survivor Dan!! I think it looks cool just as it is.

Welcome aboard. Always room for a fellow Buckeye!!
