Nice job, pretty close to real thing

I thought the Ranchero had the usual AMT round gas cans that came with the Chevy/ Ford pickups of that era, greg

If you ever measured the thickness of scale model plastic it is 040 thick, Wonder what a real car would be like with 1 inch skin, greg

The nerve of them to say 'fun to assemble' that torsion rod suspension was a killer for the KW's when I was a kid. greg

In the Revell packs that had the display items, had cans with writing on them, I don't have the exact kit number greg Searched and found the number C1157

Now you guys are going to cry, I use the trophy cups to make portable spot lights called 'Dietz' lights I use the air horn bezel for the base and a handle from the MPC WWII Jeep Anyone want to donate some to my fire department? greg

Last year at the NNL in Toledo MCM took pics of my model and they did not get published. Is there a process where I can get the photos? greg

I think you are looking for this effect: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89942&page=1

Doesn't the Revell have a big hole in the hood and blower? Decal color doesn't matter, I'll get green made from the decals Is there a 79 promo? greg

My brother in law has a z that I would like to make a model of, any help and hints any idea on base kit to get, wheels and louver and base decals to copy size for the green thanks greg

The one you are thinking of from the TV shows was a Ward LaFrance not an American LaFrance. All the kits were based off the AMT kits, With the three kits you could build the complete line of ALF truck for that era, The Ward cab is available as a casting Here is a midship ladder from the kits Ron, if you are interested in models of American apparatus may I suggest http://scalefirehouse.com/sfh_brd/search.php?search_id=newposts&sid=863fc0b58fd375da80bb249909c1d0bc greg

Nice work but a little care would make the ladder assembly work easier. Here are some challenges that this kit presents My original way back when A dual axle 100 foot 4 section quad combining the pumper and ladder kits and finally the Water Chief with Century cab My departments 100' ladders greg

Don't forget the Chrysler air raid sirens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04SMJlwosZ0 And in the basement of the Indy museum is a hemi powered roadster that Firestone used for tire testing greg

What would Sonny & Cher Mustang be categorized as? And wasn't there a Paul Revere and Raiders vehicle? greg

If I were you I would do a internet search for 'g scale' item before attempting casting something that is available already on the market ie:http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-24-scale-Miniature-Wheelbarrow-and-Garden-tool-Set-for-your-Diorama/191262750963?hash=item2c8825f8f3 greg

Made my own Sanford truck when I only had the AMT Ford p/u Made my own Squad 51 more of a challenge then you can only gripe to yourself and you know the flaws greg

Thanks for posting the archive, Love the accessories, the car seat, the bag of groceries and the lawn mower, radio antenna all neat. greg

Does anyone have the National Lampoon's Boy's Life satire that had the spoof of 60's AMT ads or know a link? I always loved the 257 dollar Ford the record player paint method is unforgetable greg

What's interesting is the wiper or wipers just depends on the photo(shopped)? greg

Another item are bobby pins, I use them to hold paint brushes vertical when cleaning in a solution cup. mixing this with another conversation regarding brushes greg

Prieser Catalog numbers= 45 900 Adam, 45901 Eve going price 53.99 each greg

Had to go back and read all 11 pages, Very well done model, Just beautiful. Dryer lint just blew me away greg

OMG! Didn't this hobby grow from Aluminum (AMT) promotional models and paint demos for dealers? Who paid back then? Don't try to clone "Barbie". Anyone interested in a Rolex? Let's just hope you don't have to register each time you use a trademark in writing.
