Why am I dragging this up again? Yesterday, the Canadian removed the GST on the number of items, including toys. I know, the government is trying to bribe us with our own money, but a little extra pocket chacnge is always welcom. right. Now I brought this up because we lo swear up and down that these aren't toys, but now that there there money n the line, will Canandian modelers change their tune?

Nicely done! I'm usually not a fan of the origami look, but he makes it work. Nice choice on the wheels too. My thought on black wheels is that when they do work, it's with a bright rim, and maybe some brightwork in the centre.

My first exposure to Jo-han was their classic kits, and they're what I always associate with the brand, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for those to come back.

The Barracuda and the Nomad look very promising.

Bill Mitchell sure loved his boattails.

I don't actually need one either, but I'll probably get one anyhow.

It's always good to see the '29 pickup come back, if only because it's such a nice source of vintage parts, and the chopper is a bonus, especially if it is the long long Parts Pack one.

Like it or not, the Trek stuff is what keeps the lights on at AMT, and those kits are actually pretty big news for Trek fans.

Via the Jalopy Journal. Not great cinematic art by any means, but a few famous rods and customs make an apearrance.

I saw this one yesterday. I'm not sure what it is.

Something I wouldn't mind seeing is the inclusion of a Meteor grille, like on the '57 Ford kit.

It's a Jo-han kit. They build up very nice

Nice! Stretch out the back end a bit, and it'd be very close to the boattail Duesdenberg that Gordon Buehrig came up with.

I know the one you mean, and it is an amazing piece of work. and it shows just what it takes to tun that sow's ear into a silk purse. I got the Lindberg Aubrurn with the idea of trying to make Pinninfarina's boat tail Cadillac

Yes, I have one on those, and I should have qualified that by saying I would like to see a decent version. Lindberg has reissued the Pyro kit numerous times with plate parts, and to truly horrible wheels and tires. It's a relic from the dark ages of plastic kits, and it shows.
