  3. So did I and he had planned a show last year but cancelled due to you know what. greg
  4. WDVE originally KQV-FM where I used to listen at night to the floyd greg
  5. On Friday saw several convoys of utility trucks heading East on the interstate, Henri preparation. Today (Tuesday) observed utility trucks heading back West. greg
  6. Had the opportunity way back as a student at Kent State to go on stage with the Floyd before their concert to announce the safety/fire exit notice before the concert. Naïve 22 year old kid who could care less who Floyd was. Played my brothers Dark side of the Moon till the other side played after that. greg
  7. Great job, What no stars? hope you are sage and sound, keep that model away from Henri? greg
  8. Once again Show is Saturday October 9,2021 WHERE: Sylvania Exhibition center at Tam-O-Shanter: 7060 Sylvania Ave. Sylvania OH TIME: 9am to 1pm greg
  9. Nice job on the rig. One question, I see holes in the A pillar that might be for wind deflectors. Are they in the kit? greg
  10. Great movie: 'Gort Klaatu barada nikto' If I am not mistaken the saucer lands where now stands the Marine memorial. The score by Bernard Hermann was the first use of Theremins in a score'. greg
  11. How about using AMT Mack front axle which might be shorter.
  12. At Home Depot, 62 'shoe box' cowl hood, mags, and bucket seats custom greg
  13. I start with 'banker' boxes, and foam board. Cut the foam board to fit in the box and then place models to fit on the board. Using strips of foam board and hot glue gun I secure the models in a trough of strips so they don't move. A piece L shape around each tire will secure the model. Leave space between models and place the board in the box then put the models in the space you made, You can label each space for the model. I have a balsa wood frame that makes a second shelf and can get more models in a box. I transported many a fire model with this method. greg
  14. Looks good, I did mine many years ago just using 2 MPC pickups and AMT Chevy van camper window option pieces. That's why I have a large 'b' pillar.
  15. Forgot this site for parts: http://www.policecarmodels.com/124spotlights.html greg
  16. Both the Crown vic and Johan police cars have them. greg
  17. The light bar looks 'shop' built. The Scout bar has a mechanical siren, the bronco looks electronic speaker. If you can find the old JoHan parts the 'tin cans' are there and the mechanical siren. The electronic siren can be had from the 70 ford police car. The Baja bronco might have the right tires. Your gold letter might be in some railroad decals. greg
  18. It doesn't like Tamiya clear red over it in taillights. It just turns silver and losses the chrome greg
  19. Isn't interesting that this an 'Adult Collectable' as shown on the front. Well professor set the way back machine to the great state of Virginia that banned toys with cigarette or alcohol references in the 70's. All the Virginnie modelers had no NASCAR or AMT Beer truck kits. I guess the label makes it acceptable and ID's will be checked! greg
  20. I found this one: Tent Premium Canvas Style Miniature Highly Detailed 1/24 Scale G Scale Diorama | eBay and there is a Prieser one : Preiser 45215 Camping Tent and Accessories Kit: Amazon.co.uk: Toys & Games that is out of production. I do not have interest or participate with these sites only researched for products greg
  21. The Interceptor's stripes are decals The Escalade's are red decal paper cut to design and yellow pin stripe tape. The yellow stripe on the tailgate is same tape but wider and the swoosh on the side is just cut piece. The pattern is based on a real generic fire decal available in from after market dealers. The green YFD is decal Yes the YFD = Youngstown Fire Department. a distinguished logo for years in the department. greg
  22. Give it a coat of future floor wax. greg
  23. It is a joke, It's Italian, white car red stripe, and green lettering= Italian colors, Tomatoes= Italian cuisine. greg
  24. A request from a retiring battalion chief for two models of my models of YFD chief cars. The first is a one is a one off that celebrates the promotion of three Italians firefighters to chief status years ago. It's called "Italian chief" I made B2 years ago, this one is B1 per request of chief. The kit is Revell's Escalade, Tamiya pearl white paint, handmade side decal using red decal paper and old Pactra yellow stripping kit. Charlie Rowley decals. Interior is complete with fire coat, boots, helmet and a Plasticville basket of tomatos. The Ford Interceptor is what is used currently as battalion chief cars today. It is a Motormax diecast white blank car with decals from Charlie Rowley. greg
  25. Nice job on the truck. I did mine years ago when the AMT 53 or Revell's 56 pick ups were the only kits available. I sprayed mine Testors red then shot flat red straight down on the truck to get the sun faded look. Made it look beat up more than the actual truck. Didn't have modern research vessels available back then so details are lacking, but I have Julio's goat. Used to build 'cars of the stars' with a 'builder buddy' back then. greg
