What Did You Get Today? (Not Model Related)
Richard Bartrop replied to LOBBS's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I got a copy of The Speed Seekers, by Thomas G. Foxworthy. It's a deep dive into air racing during the 1920s. So much reference material for the airplane modeler. -
Revell 2022 Corvette Stingray C8 Z5
Richard Bartrop replied to Luc Janssens's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Nice engine. Almost a shame to cover it up. -
When the attachment is that thick, I'd just as soon take a saw to it.

What are these
Richard Bartrop replied to Classicgas's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The top one is a 1941 Horch 853 Sport Cabriolet rebodied as a fire truck after the war. https://bangshift.com/general-news/car-features/the-oh heaven's to Betsy!-files-the-horch-853-sport-cabriolet-fire-truck-conversion/ -
Odds & Ends you'd Like to See
Richard Bartrop replied to Calb56's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
A set of Lyon hubcaps for the vintage custom/hot rod crowd would be nice, sized to fit the Revell '40 and '48 Fords, or even the big & little tires Revell uses on their hot rod kits. -

They are a struggle, but you did a nice job on yours. -

1910 horse and buggy picture
Richard Bartrop replied to 89AKurt's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I took a closer look at the second one, and maybe it's a 1928 Chevrolet?- 12 replies

1910 horse and buggy picture
Richard Bartrop replied to 89AKurt's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
If you blow up the pic, Stutz is right on the radiator. That is a nice set of wheels. No idea what the second car is. The third one looks like a 1936 Chevrolet.- 12 replies

Scalemates says 1965, which sounds about right. The ad on the instruction sheet shows the Duesenberg, Rolls and Mercedes 540K kits, but not the Bugatti.

Nice. I have one of those that's nearly done. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it

Revell '29 Roadster, Late '50s Style
Richard Bartrop replied to Richard Bartrop's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Funny thing, that's just the frame from the Revell kit. I changed the rear to a leaf spring setup, but everything is the same length. -
Revell '29 Roadster, Late '50s Style
Richard Bartrop replied to Richard Bartrop's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I got the gauges printed up on clear stock. I figured I might as well print a whole sheet full of them, so now I have a lifetime supply of '50s vintage Stewart Warner gauges. I also flipped the image so the shiny side faces outward. And here they are with the backs painted white, and installed in the dash. -
One-Off Quiz #41 - Finished
Richard Bartrop replied to carsntrucks4you's topic in Real or Model? / Auto ID Quiz
I lucked out and was reading about it on Mac's Motor City Garage that same day. It didn't look to much like contemporary Buicks, but it is defintiely a forecast of American design in the next decade. -
A question for Mr. Goldman - Re Round 2
Richard Bartrop replied to iwantmodels's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
If there is one '60s GM product I'd like to see back on the shelves, it would be the 1963-64 Pontiac Grand Prix -
Tool Extension possibilities
Richard Bartrop replied to stavanzer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
A nicely detailed '49 Mercury engine to go with that would be nice, with options for stock, or period speed parts. -
Vintage Revell Parts Packs -complete set
Richard Bartrop replied to Rocking Rodney Rat's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Seeing that using exactly those parts for exactly that purpose was what I was talking about, maybe I'm not the one who missed the point. -
Autoquiz #593 - Finished
Richard Bartrop replied to carsntrucks4you's topic in Real or Model? / Auto ID Quiz
I counted the grille slats, though "It's not what you think" was the biggest clue. -
One-Off Quiz #41 - Finished
Richard Bartrop replied to carsntrucks4you's topic in Real or Model? / Auto ID Quiz
I didn't even have to look this one up. -
I picked up the Atlantis Mooneyes Dragster and another Yellow Fever coupe at the LHS. So many useful parts for vintage hot rods. It doesn't count as buying more kits if you're just buying them for the parts, right?

Vintage Revell Parts Packs -complete set
Richard Bartrop replied to Rocking Rodney Rat's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
And let's be honest, most wire wheels in that scale are pretty awful. -
Vintage Revell Parts Packs -complete set
Richard Bartrop replied to Rocking Rodney Rat's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I'd venture that should Atlantis ever decide to bring the Mooneyes dragster back, they'd sell more if they made people more aware of those extra parts, and what they were.
