Always wonder what the MPC judges thought what models should be, I submitted my 'squad 51' back in 1973 at the Cleveland auto show. That was a 70 miles one way trip in two days. How easy was it for them to take the Dodge pick up kit and get the Universal studio license and have a great seller. I had no intentions of getting any award just dropping the idea to MPC. greg

Working Around Red Plastic?
GLMFAA1 replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Use of Easy Off: It will strip paint from models, it will strip chrome parts. It will remove the tint from old Johan tinted plastic parts, ie the red and blue trees from the Plymouth police car and tailights. It will not effect injected colored plastic, Injection plastic starts out as beads which are heated and injected into a mold. The coloring is in the beads injected so the amount of coloring effects the chemical composition after heating. The color does effect the process as different colors need different temperatures to melt. If you have an old military or silver airplane kit you might find veins of color changes in the plastic. greg -

Where are the door hinges from ? greg / -
Dave: Nice job. When I was a kid my good friends dad had a 59 4 door Bel Air. If I'm not mistaken the interior is 2 door, Was the base kit the Monograsm 59 Chevy? Did Modelhaus make a 4 door tub to go with the body? greg

Ambulance body retro fit
GLMFAA1 replied to GLMFAA1's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Wasn't really happy with the telephone booth door so I modified it, Getting close, I think it's going to be painted red with a ems/rescue motif due to the roll up exterior cabinets. Temporary light bar. -
It looks like a 1/32 Merlin/RollsRoyce engine, I cant identify the large bell shape housing in the rear. the round part lying behind the engine is wheel hub from a WW2 plane. The tranny is a truck kit tranny. AMT's Allison, MPC/Airfix spitfire merlin and Hawker engines in front of Bandi P51 greg

Ford C800 Gar-Wood Load Packer. It's Happening!
GLMFAA1 replied to chuckyr's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I might have been a little harsh, but with a little modification other cabs could be used. Mack R and MR cab come to mind. The spread between the Ford cab and the body looks like it is for the tilt of the cab. I built these commissioned builds years ago using Jim Etter's cabs, forks and copied out of evergreen plastic the compacters body. greg -
Pretty neat and hopefully concepted without the aid of pharmaceuticals. greg

Ford C800 Gar-Wood Load Packer. It's Happening!
GLMFAA1 replied to chuckyr's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
If they went to the trouble of making the garbage unit, why not take the time and add a little extra to the cab details, Like emblem changes, marker light and non marker lights on the emblems, vents where they should be, Nice trick take the fire truck wheels and throw them in the kit. It looks like too much room between cab and body. Watched the video and lots of details and working parts, greg -

Just got this gift from my brother's friend whom I built a replica model of his old Chevy pick up. I remember loaning this book from the Library years ago, now I have my own copy. greg -
