  1. that's cool! nice job, I love it!
  2. I didn't take any, as all I have is my cell phone for pic's as a shame less attention hound, I will show this pic,
  3. I just had to share this, I have taken this to two shows since it's completion. I won a 1st place at an IPMS show [syrcon 27], and won ' best mopar' at the Fulton show yesterday I was quite surprised at both shows, but very happy to win.
  4. I have a couple of the generic gas station kits, I may have to step up my skills and incorporate one of those into some sort of diorama by the end of this fiasco, lol.
  5. beautiful rollback, excellent work Cruz, stunning.....
  6. I just 'browsed' thru mine, it has a 5th wheel on the sprue. ,mine is an ertl kit [6671] no date on box, but was issued as ertl being 'a division of kidde', it also has a bar code on the box.
  7. Jeff, i had the gold prostar at the end of the table, along with the black pete, and i had a 71 cuda and 69 chevelle drop top on the first table. the cuda won me best mopar i have a feeling we probably did walk past one another a couple times that day, lol.
  8. i was there, and saw it, this is a killer build fellas, looks way better in person. great build Jeff.
  9. oh boy......at those prices [if for real], i will have a ton of those bad boys........
  10. Sam, no, I got all the above stuff at a show today.
  11. agreed, this thing is unreal, pictures don't do it justice, just so many little details, absolutely stunning work!
  12. Chris, for pictures, check hanks truck pictures web site, ton of truck pictures there. I am using them for reference for the CF kit I am doing. I also got my CF decals from Jerry, good stuff, and he has a ton of carrier's to choose from.
  13. no pic's yet, but picked up a sealed Mack Cruise Liner, and got another GMC General, and some other bits and parts, also bought a ton of decals for all manner of big rig applications
  14. great time today, talked with a bunch of great folks, bought some kits and detail bits, and walked what seems like 100 miles bouncing around the show. I also saw a bunch of builds that I remember seeing on here, it was cool to see them 'live'. talked with a few of the guys that built them, and would have liked to talk to the rest, but no name tags or pictures of the builders so I missed a few guys. had a great time, and if any of you guys wonder about going next year, mark your calendar, it's well worth going to.
  15. thanks guys went to a model show today in Fulton NY, scored some cool stuff, was a great show, AND I managed to find the final motion Camaro kit I needed the final body should be in paint in a few days I hope......
  16. have gotten majorly side tracked on this one, hope to squeeze some work on it soon. here is what got me off the rails on this build, http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=95563
  17. looking good JT! I still cringe a little everytime I look at the one I built, lol.
  18. Carl, it's Valspar brand, and it's called 'satin leafy rise'. it reminded me of the interior color 'antique jade green' that was in my 71 chevelle. may not be 100% the same, but it's close enough for me
  19. Tim, nice job. that's a real clean looking build, and the color is fabulous.
  20. looks like warm and rain so far. I will have my prostar, my 359 pete, pink 71 cuda and a 69 chevelle drop top there. I guess I will put TBILL on all my sheets so you guys will know it's me
  21. thanks guys, it's been a learning curve on the whole paint 'thing', but it's getting there made a little more progress, chassis pans are painted, building big blocks, painted, and the foundry was busy casting intake manifolds so at this point, the major assemblies are painted. need to do some sanding and complete painting the tail sections of the other 3 bodies, and drill what seems like 100 spark plug wire holes in the engine heads, but I am getting to the point of being able to start detailing all the sub-assemblies. going to the Fulton show tomorrow, and hope to find one more of these Camaro kits to round out the 6 pack [all the stores I frequent are out of them], already have the color picked out for the last one, worst case, I will order one on-line. with any luck, the next few updates will be of some finished sub assemblies. as usual, thanks for looking, and when the cars are done, I will start the auto transporter and chevy titan, and have a cool idea for the titan paint scheme......
  22. i plan on being there, been looking forward to it for awhile.
  23. this is pure magic! as mentioned, great use of 'found' objects, just terrific!
  24. hood looks great, foil looks good as well, keep at it.
  25. nice pair of 'vette's, love both the colors, well done.
