  1. To have your most desirable model kit you've wanted in front of you and..................................... 1 You are unable to get box open 2 You have no glue,paint, or exacto knife. 3 Parts won't come off the trees 4 Loose parts fall further in the abyss 5 Directions are for another kit 6 Directions are in foreign language. add your own dilemma greg
  2. As I understand your question you mean the last production at Troy Michigan plant before being sold to Lindsey/Matchbox. Good question. greg.
  3. In regard to the entertainment center in the El Camino. It was in the original 3n1 kit and the 1997 release. It's disgusting that scoundrels are re boxing new released parts in old boxes and passing them off as original. I saw this in the EBay listings for the AMT kits. greg
  4. Yes, I work off a lap top. I enjoy the large format to view everybody's builds. I leave my phone in the corner with the dunce cap on. greg
  5. Good job on that old casting. greg
  6. Using the drag file here I selected photos ( reduced to web size in windows picture management ) load them to article then click on pic to bring it into the body of topic. Do not insert space or return and the pics just follow each other in the order that it is highlighted. Hope that helps greg
  7. Years ago I had a squirrel who would knock on the door for his treat. He would hang on the screen door protector and rap on the glass. He would go to the tree and then come down and take his 'Chips Ahoy' cookie from my hand and go to a branch and eat it in spiral bites rotating as it got smaller and smaller. Today I have birds to feed and when I put out peanuts the first visitors after the broadcasting blue jays are the squirrels. after dinner siesta greg
  8. Are you still here ? Looking to make contact with you Terry. greg

    In need of

    Didn't Rommel's rod have a skeleton? greg
  11. Does anyone make decals of the 'Top Hand' 78 Dodge truck? Hickey custom trucks in yellow with stripes to put on the pickup or warlock releases. greg
  12. Forgot to even post the mistake on the box cover model built by Fred Reagan. He was told to build it as per the instructions. Also not to mention the rear view mirrors from the kit that when mounted the doors would not open. greg
  13. Nice and different, years ago before I found red as my only color I enjoyed both the AMT and the Revell kits of the Willys. Good job on a rescue. greg
  14. For years the AMT American LaFrance pumper kit directions have shown the assembly of the hard suction couplings wrong. This what real hard suction hose ends look like. Hard suction hose is used to draft water from the source to the pumper. It is made of corded hard rubber like a car tire to prevent collapse. Here the correct way the hard suction coupling should look like: To add a little more detail here are some suggestions: When they are placed on the racks both ends are the same: Males on one end and female on the other. Since the female end is larger it is at the rear of the truck. greg
  15. Nice old rig from the past, looks ready to respond to the school yard for that double dog dare. greg
  16. I'll check my stash for the Mack CF spokes. greg
  17. What to do with a sunning Prieser figure when you don't have a beach? you make a tanning booth. Clear rod, graphic stick ons from the Ford Expedition kit, some K&S tubing, and some Evergreen sheet and rod. lotion bottle is just different sizes of tubing. Paint is chromate green glossed. greg
  18. Starting out with the GMC General cab and omitting the hood. Added pieces from AMT/ALF kit. Will be a Bondo buggy. Will be doing different rear body. greg
  19. Look for the old 'oil embargo' two piece tires and they would be easier to work with. greg
  20. You could put a protective cover over the glass and insert it to give you some backing when sanding. If really brave cut the corner piece of the glass that is in that area and glue it in place. Looks good so far. Wish I knew of your dilemma years ago as I built a sprint car using the rear end of a Falcon, I had a full roof. greg
  21. I've been working on a model of this P51 using the AIrfix/MPC 1/24 kit. I used a 3mm Molotow pen several years ago and it's still shiny, I have no pictures of the build. The work stop order is I'm missing the tail wheel. The invasion strips have to be adjusted to fit the decal sheet I got, The model is not proportioned to the real plane. greg
  22. Forgot about the deluge unit, thanks. The Revell 56 ford bed would look good on that pick up. greg
  23. I already have my project selected for this model when it is released. greg
  24. Nice piece 'Any color you want as long as it's black' greg
