'53 - one restored convertible, and one derelict sedan with the roof sawed off as the "before" car.

Another goof that bugged me: The John Wayne movie McQ had a real good chase scene, including the first onscreen use of a rollover cannon. Right at the end McQ's Plymouth and the baddies' Caddy come to a halt, with the Cadillac pointing out to sea: And in the next shot:

Yep - can't help but wonder if Preston Tucker knew about it.

fish are biting

Intentional or not...

Little TV Tommy running around the studio jungle in a leopard loincloth - bet he wishes all the prints of that one were tossed in the volcano!

Comedy is harder

Aren't we cheerful!

Someone posted this on my car club's Facebook page - a bargain at half the price?? https://palmsprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/floresville-1941-czechoslavakian-tatra/7157203485.html

Bzzt - so sorry

Nice piece! The individual boxes would be good for pouring small rubber part molds.

It's happened to me; I got a stronger 10-watt LED UV light to cure it and let it go for several minutes, and it helped. Part of the issue may be the light's NM wavelength rating; 365nm is supposed to be best for the Alumilite AlumiUV resin I have. Higher values like 395-405nm supposedly don't cure as well. Alumilite recommends a 300 watt 365nm light for the best and fastest cure (about 3-5 seconds); there's one on eBay for $86 I may be picking up soon: https://www.ebay.com/itm/300W-365NM-395NM-405NM-UV-Curing-Light-UV-Light-Invisible-Inks-Fluorescence-Lamp/254536481014?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=554235880878&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 I'd like to be able to cure taillight lenses much faster as when you dye the resin red, the longer it sits under the UV light, the more it fades the dye back to clear!

500 pages? Oy...

Did a little bidding, a lot of watching, and picked up a savable '59 T-bird body: Adding it to my Squarebird junkpile (a '59 interior, two '60 convertible bodies, one '60 chassis and a complete but warped-as-usual '60 promo) it looks like I have almost enough to do that two-seater extended-wheelbase flower car conversion. Also got windows for the Hubley '60 Ford wagon to replace the glass that got ruined in the purple pond - a $14.99 mistake . Got outbid on a rear bumper, so still looking...

and some As

'62 Chrysler Newport convertible (got two I'm trying to salvage) and '62 Imperial Crown four-door hardtop (got one nearly finished). It's possible the Newport mold may have mag wheels as it got those in its second issue (the Metalflake series). They're not as crisply molded as the Jo-Han Chrysler 300 and AMT Imperial coupe were, but still very buildable and good-looking. Thing is, at least according to Ron Sexton, Atlantis already has the Mopar molds (minus tires and glass).

I've used foil and UV resin to make emblems and trim, but I use Bare-Metal or Molotow on the emblems afterward instead of trying to do it in one go. I'm thinking about getting a 300 watt UV light so the items will cure more thoroughly and quickly.

Here, kitty - AAAARRRGGHHH!

A Matter of Life and Death (US title Stairway to Heaven), 1946, starring David Niven and Kim Hunter. Very sentimental, but has some good lines - all the scenes set in heaven are in black and white; one of the angels complains "We don't have Technicolor up here yet!"

Aw, c'mon - you two look cute together.

Quick! These are up with no bids, ending Thursday afternoon: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMT-1964-OLDS-F-85-CUTLASS-CONV-ORIGINAL-TAIL-LIGHTS-4-CIRCA-1964/233639590879?hash=item3666013bdf:g:pyAAAOSwFIJfANdH https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMT-1964-OLDS-F-85-CUTLASS-CONV-ORIGINAL-TAIL-LIGHT-BEZEL-4-CIRCA-1964/233639592751?hash=item366601432f:g:VZgAAOSwNlNfANfG Resin lenses, slightly cheaper/make offer: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Acme-Resin-Casting-AMT-1964-Olds-Cutlass-F85-Tail-Lights/233591331723?hash=item366320db8b:g:YW8AAOSwru1eJQ8T Good luck!

Awesome, just beautiful, Jean!

The nerve of some people's children...

Major score! Let me know if you don't need the wire wheelcovers/knockoffs and four bar spinners...

1932 Ford what? Looks like Vicky's done got pregnant!
