Hampshire Sour Cream is great on a baked potato with butter and salt.

Most stuff I get is used, but I'll be putting in pre-orders on the new AMT Barracuda and Chevy wagon as soon as I can. I think it'll take most model companies (except Atlantis) a couple years at least to bring production back to the US.

Jaw hits table... Who would have thought the '60 Nomad would come back? I'd have expected the El Camino, maybe. Having owned a promo and a Craftsman kit, I knew the Nomad was frankly pretty crudely done even compared to the rest of the AMT '60 line. The prototype already looks way better than the original kit; will it be engineered so the '59 El Camino chassis and running gear drop in? Would be missing a golden opportunity if they didn't. That Barracuda chassis will be going under a lot of Craftsman Valiant and Fireball 500 kits, I bet! Looks like the engine filler is supposed to be a slant 6 as was in the original kit. Good on ya, Round2! ? Now about that '66 Skylark...

What Did You Get Today? (Not Model Related)
ChrisBcritter replied to LOBBS's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Hit an estate sale today and nabbed this Tonka pink Surrey Jeep, cheep: Missing two roof poles but they're just 1/8" wire, and ordered the missing spare tire off eBay. Paint is in real good shape. Also scored an autographed photo of Julie Newmar as Catwoman -

Game of Thrones; never saw an episode but I heard it's about how winter is coming but it's OK because this short guy has a fire-breathing dragon that he uses to melt the snow.

With the rich and powerful, always a little patience. -
Finally found a '64 Chevelle wagon that wasn't a bank-breaker; needs a lot of help on the glue splotches but very savable: Hood is from a '65 (anyone have a spare '64 from the new Craftsman kit?), and I already got a firewall from another eBay seller. Toughest part will be the stock taillights; will probably have to pay through the nose for those unless I scratchbuild them, or I find a '64 El Camino that has a set I can cast. Probably will do a folded back seat if I don't have one in the parts pile. By the way, has anyone else here managed to make an opening tailgate on one of these '64/'65 wagons?

What’s this roof from?
ChrisBcritter replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Looks like first-gen Camaro or Firebird. -
Especially tough when the door handle has an indentation underneath it that has to come out smooth (early '60s Ford products).
