Thank you for the time to take pictures and sharing them with us that could not be there, Great lure to get us there, greg

Here are some posted shots of some of the entrants to the contest held March 31st https://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/south-hill-modelers/ greg

Thanks to all who presented this historical achieve. What fascinating procedure of model production, Thank you for your work in providing me with many hours of joy of building the models, What a surprise to see the Squirt ALF project. What was the projected year for production? They must have really second thoughts when they had to offer the three kits at $5.00 a piece. What interesting facts regarding the management and actual production with the injection (pardon the pun) of Lindsey acquiring AMT. greg

Will there be food concessions? greg

Interesting Luc is that the re-releases have numerous Ford C cabs and Loiusvilles in different configurations with decals and the construction dozer has had rebirth, maybe back then when there were a plethora of truck movies out the big rigs were popular but not space friendly. Interesting to hear about the Garwood, greg

When AMT had a strike and was in the middle of announcing new kits of the Ahrens-Fox pumper, the Garwood trash truck and the LinkBelt power shovel had these proposed kits ever gotten off the drafting board? How close to production were they and if they made it to the die production are they still around and could they be produced today by the remanufactures? The rumor I heard way back when was they were having trouble with the long arms of the power shovel as much as they did with the ALF AeroChief. greg

Welcome back a fellow buckeye, and the other Dave 'Go penguins !' For the rest of you , How do you start your car in Youngstown? A. a. Have someone else start it, b. Keep the door open and your left leg out, that way the blast will blow you out of the car greg

Curiosity almost killed the cat, Since it's my birthday I checked the list, thanks for the wish, I took the ages listed and the mean age is 47.6 years old. Oldest is 73 and youngest is 18 Wonder what kind of marketing genius could come up with a plan to get that market share? greg

My 78 lights used amber bulbs in clear lenses greg

Interesting part to look at is the body piece between the grill and the bumper, Before 78 the turn signals were in the body part and with the signals in the grille the turn signals were deleted on the body part, So what part is in the new release? I noticed when going through other threads about the Dodge kits there was a box art that had both signals on the kit. Any after market parts maker need to consider this detail. On my full size '76 Rustcharger' I replaced the grille with a 78 grille and kept both turn signals greg

As the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words I can not write the words to satisfactorily praise your work. I am extremely fortunate to have you as a hobby friend. Have you heard from the veteran in Hawaii that got his model? It would be great to see a photo of him with the model. greg

Nice job Tom, Good to hear of names from the past as Etter and Savage. Always liked the B series greg

You might think of making it a New York fire department drill team truck greg

Dennis, I have used Art Anderson's, the Lindberg kit's, Bill Bozo's, and Chimneyville decals throughout my OSP collection. greg

For Snake Since 1967, Ohio has issued special license plates for DUI offenders, sometimes called "scarlet letter plates" or "party plates." The red-lettering-on-yellow plates were initially issued at the behest of judges. But a sweeping overhaul of Ohio's drunken driving laws in 2004 mandated the plates for second offenses and instances where a driver's blood-alcohol level is twice the legal limit.

What irked me today was seeing a $55.000 Mercedes Benz SUV in a Walmart parking lot with Ohio special plates (yellow and red lettered) which designate a convicted DUI driver AKA 'party plates'. I guess with that type of vehicle all he could afford after the court costs, attorney fees, insurance and fines was shopping at Walmart. greg

The cab is a Mack MR cab- M= style R= refuse chassis and cab variations. It is not 1/24th scale maybe 1/24 mm It is small and around 1/43rd to 1/32. I had a friend buy one and returned it due to inaccurate advertising got his money back. The M cab for refuse had a standard drivers door the same as the commercial cab and the passenger door had a sliding larger window for visibility greg

You could always say it is a replica Cobra, 'close but no cigar' nice find greg

The original AMT van body had a removal recess in the roof and the sides had optional side pieces for windows or sheet metal sides. What was nice it made a curb side option of having windows on the right side. easy to make ambulances The goofy part were the headlights greg

Nice job, nothing better than Omaha orange and white greg

Here are a few of mine Revell snap Excursion AMT 70 Ford, Lindberg Crown Vic Tamiya Jeep, All American Crown Vic, Anniversary logo OSP units Revell Chevy Maisto HD electric glide converted to police bike MPC Dodge van made into KaryVan Johan Plymouth KSU police AMT Myers Manx- Beach patrol Revell 63 Dodge and Johan police parts Last but not least YPD logoed Motormax die cast. Model by Bob Martini Thanks for looking greg

The Ideal Atomic cannon was closer to 1/16th or 1/18th scale and the Renwall kit is 1/32nd when military was 1/35th I had em both! greg

Roll up doors are not hard if you are not making them functional, Did this years ago Evergreen slotted car siding and square stock Used this method on this fire truck using three different sizes of siding on the roll ups greg

Nice picture of the chassis, I hope he does have the clear hubcaps. One thing that the renewal originals had was a replacement parts lists where you could send for pats that broke, I used mine a lot since the camshaft always broke in the engine, I loved the suggestion of using Vasoline to make the parts move easier. Does any one have the radial engine? greg

A simple system is to secure thread/string inside the cylinders the length of the stretch, the string stops the cylinders before they come apart and doesn't interfere with the operations of the cylinder. greg
