Interesting subject, may I add my 2 cents- red light up front for Rudolph greg

Saw these at Toledo, very nice greg

Here is a back dated horse drawn version done by Jim Embry (Washington DC) many years ago greg

Just gotta add a Marshall amp trailer greg

Just to let everyone know here are pics of the base. It has been years but I think I laminated veneer on the sides and I washed various grays on the stones and then took a rapidiograph pen and filled in between the stones with india ink

This is the first time I found this thread, very nice build. It took me four days to do the cobblestone base. Just an addition to your history lesson is that centrifugal pumps were developed with greater capacity and began replacing piston pumps. There were two world wars that required metal and there sure was a lot there, let alone the brass for bullets. I have 2 of these in my stash awaiting builds back to horse drawn using the Lindberg stage coach or cannon caisson kits. I built an original for a local hobby shop and I swapped the build for the kit. It is still in the hobby shop case. I would like to see a finished picture thanks for a fire apparatus build greg

Great design, not only tune up the engine but the whole hot rod greg

A quick tour of the NNL, Just to many neat models to get them all in, as always a great time http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/toledo-nnl35/page3.html greg

Tim, I have a flyer that the theme for NNL 35 is 'class of 64' which one is it? greg I'm there tommorow

Roger has the right methods greg

Gee I was thinking of designing 'LoJack' for my models anyone interested? greg

Just a reminder, one day show this Saturday greg

Thanks Tom for the repost, guess I show read instructions greg

Very interesting about the truck, When I first saw the Hot Rod magazine article about the mercs I found the AMT Caliente (flower power series/ craftsman series) and used the rally pack from the Falcon kits and made up other items, These were the only CA plates I had back then, The project got stopped at the decal stage and to celebrate the 50th anniversary I am posting pictures of my unfinished project greg

My collection of the JoHan police cars http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/my-first-album/p1030572.html http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/my-first-album/p1030573.html sorry, but some how I am unable to get photos over here from there The Chevy van is in the pic as it is in a set with the Plmouth I took the Chevelle wagon roof and made a psuedo station wagon out of the Plymouth http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/my-first-album/p1030575.html http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/my-first-album/p1030574.html greg

Don't want to derail the thread, I did build the ALF/Holmes wrecker using Phil's 'how to' way back when. I can't recall the Simba trade. You start out using the AMT wrecker body and build from there. I'm also crying at the first gear conversions, They should have made a DIY kit They are nice and nothing like a B Mack, but the wrecker is so nice, I would get an 'infarc' grinding into the rivets I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming greg

If your adventurous there is the Phil Jensen Holmes how to

Years ago a small group of local model builders displayed scale auto modeling as a home hobby at the County fair in Canfield Ohio. The display highlighted what could be done with one model kit which was the AMT Ford star truck kit, The display exhibited the difference in scales. greg

Here are pics of my 1/25th cycle collection http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/motorcycles/ Maisto's series WWII bike needed a Tommy gun in the sleeve, used the tommy from the MPC pd cars The Revell Hondas are still being repaired greg

Subconscious subliminal psycho indoctrination from childhood: Go out to the parking lot And you get in your car and you drive real far And you drive all night and then you see a light And it comes right down and lands on the ground And out comes a man from Mars And you try to run but he's got a gun And he shoots you dead and he eats your head And then you're in the man from Mars You go out at night, eatin' cars You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too Mercuries and Subarus And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars Then, when there's no more cars greg

"product sold out" greg

Has anyone made this variation of the Ford front bumper? http://images20.fotki.com/v685/photos/8/3457628/13265735/5391-vi.jpg greg

I don't think you can ever match plastic with paint. If you are keeping original color I would make it a work in progress with gray primer covering the repairs greg
