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

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

styrene and ethylbenzene have similar boiling points (145 and 136 °C, respectively) °C to °F Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32 293 degrees F greg That's why they don't make Mattel vacuforms!

Nice tribute to your friend. I finished a model that sat for over 20 years after her husband passed away. It was his last model he was working on and it is a very cherished memory for her. greg

Isn't it 'ejector' greg

There were two clear bubbles in that set also He might have used the smaller bubble for the windshield side windows. The Lucas lights, (ones with center posts) should be in the Ford Styline re release greg

Don't think about all those things you fear Just be glad to be here Don't think about all those things you fear. Can't find my way home Eric Clapton "come down off your throne and lay your body down"

Interesting video, I found this about a year ago and as an EMT using stayin' alive for cpr works, but when I say just another 'brick in the wall' I get the strangest looks from the medics greg
