The Revell Caprice has a nice key board but a CRT screen, just add plastic stock to the keyboard and you got an open laptop greg

If you need more windows add the roof portholes in the deluxe wagons. Anything that's got an Allison V12 is OK in my book greg

Years ago I took the AMT van kit and shortened it up and added some Police items to replicate the Kent State riot van which was purchased after the May 70 protests It took six JoHan police cars to get all the speakers, The Visibar light bar is from the Johan kit I just recently got the logo duplicated thanks to Charlie Rowley and replaced the home made ones I did years ago that is why there are marks around the doors The antenna have hand wound bases. Just a simple build with some modifications about 1/4 inch out of the center. If you wonder what I used back in the 70's for the logo, here ya go- Poncho decal for lightning bolt, Cobra number circles, Studebaker logo for the red/blue, Pure oil for the arcs, black and white dry transfer letters using I's and V's on the black circle, MPC ford van decal to cut yellow Ohio out of. and the K was hand painted over all the layers greg

Nice diorama. It would have been ironic if some criminal activity was taking place behind the fence greg

Yeah! Rotors beside brakes in this forum, I always wanted to build Chuck and PT's copter until I saw the color scheme. I hate to see what the 47J was painted for use in B&W film. Love the Bell 47, one of my bucket list items was a ride in a 47, which is fading fast, I also combined the two kits, even have a rough master for the expanded tanks for the 1/35ths Here is my G Mark 1/20 scale and my Esoteric models 1/72nd bell 47 Speaking of SkyKing here are models done by a local aircraft modeler

Nice build and agree with the consensus all time favorite bombers, Amazing that the engineers at Convair made this after the B36, it seems to be the Chevy truck division doing the Corvette. A plane that has motion in it even standing still It is a great bond to be able to share hobbies with your father greg

Northeast Ohio used to have dairy stores named Lawson's based out of Cuyahoga Falls Ohio and they ran a TV ad for their Orange juice express from Florida to Ohio called the 'Big O' Has any one ever built a model of this rig or have any more information about the rig and tank. I have a fellow modeler who wants to build this and all we have is this ad which isn't really clear and I hope all of you enjoy the jingle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7r6A6YQdtI greg

In the 70's Superior ambulance company had this idea of making more room by adding 18 inches in width to their van conversions. The only problem was the wheel track remained the same OEM track causing a very unbalanced ride. While attending the Toledo toy show and the NNL John Kline (AMT4ever) made my day by dropping over to my table and showing me his highly modified Chevy van ambulance. He started out using 2 older AMT vans that had the window option. He used the re released rescue van also. He used brochure Superior emblems in the grille and detailed the interior. I present John's model, excuse the background as these were taken at my vending table. . greg

The one that would not flip was the Revell Jaguar XKE greg

I'm relatively new here and searched to see if there ever was a thread on models that were introduced and never met production.

I think show had first spin off, Rocky & Bullwinkle had fun with his name Ok, we got his name but what show? Rocky and Bullwinkle were hunting for the famous Kurwood Derby! greg

Take a pair of calipers (dividers) and set them at the diameter of the rim being roughly 18 inches, mark off the frame with the 18 inches and you should get a ball park figure, It wont be accurate but close because of photographic (magic) you cant really get an accurate measurement. Interesting subject, I always thought the shuttle recover vehicle would be an interesting build greg
